I am an Ijebu Boy and very proud, if i may had. I really don't see the point of this thread, all ethnic group have their postive and negative aspect. I could start a thread about an ethnic group and focus on their negativity but i really don't see point of victimising another ethnic group. I am very sure all the things said about an ijebu woman either Good or Bad can also be found in women all over the world.

Completely true! But if such controversial threads don't come up from time to time, trust me, Nairaland'll be veeeeery boring!

@poster :

Generalisation or stereotyping people is completely daft.

There are good and bad people everywhere. A good girl is a good girl irrespective of where she comes from.

A good and virtuous woman comes from God.

So please stop these generalisation and reason sensibly.

biina:

I thot people, including Ijebu men, dreaded Ijebu women, as they are reputed to put the man under their control spiritually.
I do have two cousins married to Ijebu men, (one Ijebu ode, and the other Ijebu igbo), and if I was to use them as a yardstick, I woudn't advise anyone to date an Ijebu.
It is always wrong to paint groups of people with broad strokes

C2H5OH:

idiot

biina:

Sorry, did I hit a soft spot? maybe there were elements of truth in my post?
I only gave my opinion, even if it is contrary to yours, there was no need for the insult.
If you have nothing to contribute, then keep your hands off the keyboard

C2H5OH:

shut up jare.

biina:

are you blind, as I doubt that you are illiterate?
I 'll repeat, if you have nothing to contribute, keep your hands off the keyboard.

*Toyinrayo:

So acid is Ijebu?

This is rich! No wonder

The general view non-ijebu yorubas have about ijebu girls as per marriage is that they are better left for their ijebu men. Reason being that if you as a non-ijebu guy marry an ijebu girl, with time;
she'll out-shine you materially and financially, and consequently become the bread winner of the home.
she'll become an adulteress (by sleeping around with very wealthy men whom of course are the sponsors of her thriving business).

Ijebu pipo Stinga like witch xpecially the sheila

I spent a large number of my childhood years in all of Ijebu land - from Ijebu-Ode to Ikenne, Sagamu to Ilisan-Remo, Odogbolu to Ago Iwoye. Ibafo, Ijebu-waterside, Mamu, Ogbere, Omu-Ijebu, Atiba, to name a few. I should add Ijebu-Ife is a cool place. Ijebu-Igbo is a local govt area in Ogun State.

A people blessed with the abundance/best of what nature has to offer. Some of the best brains in the country are from Ijebu land. Tai Solarin is an Ijebu man. Dr. Sunny Kuku, Chief Odutola, The late Sage: Obafemi Awolowo, who transfomed the lives of many in the then Western Region is from Ikenne. Would you say that the late widow of the late sage, Chief Mrs. H.I.D Awolowo, revered and respected worldwide turned his late husband to ''vegetables''?

Professor Adebayo Adedeji, renowned economist, and UN official for Africa attended the same secondary school I went to: The greatest Ijebu-Ode Grammar School - Ijebu-Grams. The famous Mayflower School, Ikenne is in Ijebu land. Federal Govt. College Odogbolu, Federal Govt. Girls College Sagamu are all in Ijebu land, ''breeding'' responsible people of all ages who'd transform Nigerias landscape.

I am from Delta state. But I respect the Ijebus. They are hardworking very intelligent people. Their women - from what I know, will make the best wife material any man would ever desire. Quit hating whole tribes because of some negative experience you had with one or two of them.  You'll never know if help, prosperity(indeed, all good things) will come from marrying into this group - when you choose to despise them.
