You are a lecturer. Propose to a final year student, better still, just get one pregnant.

My experience is this:

One Igbo woman saw me and asked to know whether I was married or not.

I answered in the negative.

She said as a lecturer, what is keeping me from marrying since federal government is paying us well?

I told her I am praying to God about it.


She said she is a pastor and she believed God was prompting her to find me a wife.


She said she would introduce me to a very good lady whom I would really enjoy as wife.

It was not quite 3 hours later when she sent someone to call me to see the lady.




To my utter astonishment, she introduced me to one elderly woman who is from Kaduna.



It was as much as I could do not to show my astonishment.



After the old woman left, I told her I would prefer someone younger who is Igbo.


She said age doesn't matter in marriage.


I told her I am in my early thirties and how can I even marry someone who is 40, let alone someone who is above 50?


It is my idea that the woman she introduced to me is her long time friend and age mate. She herself(ie the woman who introduced someone) has big children who are all in the University and polytechnic.


She insisted that love, and not age, is what matters in matter.


As for marrying an Igbo woman, she said no Igbo woman will ever condescend so low as to marry a Calabar man.


She said she is an Igbo woman so she knows her tribe very well.


I made her understand that my cousin is Calabar and is married to an Igbo beauty queen.

I mentioned up to 6 Calabar men I personally know who are married to Igbo.


She said an Igbo lady can only marry a Calabar man if maybe she has a problem(like mental problem) which makes people to reject her,


to the extent that it is only a Calabar man that she would finally condescend to marry.


She was just insulting my tribe.


I told her that the former governor of Akwa Ibom, and the present minister of Niger Delta is a Calabar man married to Igbo woman.

[Modified: Please note that people call those from Akwa Ibom and Cross river "Calabar". That is my observation.]


My idea now is that I can never accept any woman brought by this woman,


because she will never give me something good. Any woman she brings must be low because she believes that low women fit Calabar men.


She said if I don't like that other Kaduna woman, she would introduce me to another woman.


But I know on a high state of conviction that she will not bring someone good to me because of the way she looks down on my tribe.


She doesn't believe my tribe can marry someone better.


Please share your experience.

She should speak for herself, what a stupid woman she want to force old cargo on you, run oooo

Matheusmartin:
..
Which kain play u and the prophetess play reach that Kain extent that she's trying to hook you with a granny

7victor:


I believe she wants the woman to get married.

But God will give her someone else who would love her.

It is just that I want a woman who is my age mate or younger.

Dshocker:


Laugh wan kill me with this your post

talk2hb1:

Take it or leave it, you are another sacrificial lamb

Matheusmartin:
..
I get your point
All the best.

missyojo:
Let me laugh small
OP, am not making jest of you oo, it's the old woman that got me laughing. I would have introduced your calabar Sister to you but she clocked 40 today. Sadly you are younger than her.
Best wishes in your search

OG1BABY:
Lol. But did you give her the contract of helping you look for a wife?

emae009:


Akwa Ibomites = Akwa Ibom

Cross Riverians = Cross River (where Calabar is).

The Europeans used to refer to the black race as monkeys. Would you prefer being called that because "that's what other tribes call you" no offense

I always do well to correct people when they make that mistake no matter how trivial it may seems. You never know what might happen tomorrow and something that was meant to go to Akwa Ibom gets channeled to Cross River and the reason might be "sheybi they are all Calabar people"

Dreadshy:
Oga find your wife yourself so to.orrow you no go blame that woman.
Them no put gun for your head.

Raymond0008:
Oga, give boys this link lol. Before my dad died, the only condition I put him when he’s lamenting of me been single is that if he can introduce a lady that’s doing better than me.

That’s the only condition I can consider whenever someone say he/she is introducing a lady to me.

SmartPolician:
Don't mind the munu woman. She is demoting your tribe just to promote her expired product friend). Keep searching....there are many single ladies in need of a good man to marry.

Iamagoodgirll:
The woman knows nothing about marriage and choice, she just want to help her friend by all means. I'm an Igbo lady and I know many that married to calabar men

its ur fault sha. pesin wey u go don tell say for her life make she no dey follow u talk laidat. na ur future we dey talk abt na

MufasaLion:


The dude was just being respectful but I wouldn't have had such patience to listen to her bullshit if it were me.

KarinaLove:
But wait o....

Why do Calabar or Akwa Ibom Men love marrying Igbo?

I see this is a trend now. Why?

Asking for a friend.

But why can't you just marry from your tribe "Calabar" now. Simple.

Me that am even talking, I never even know when I will marry sef.

AcademicWriter:
Lol. But knew you take her the deal of assisting you glance for a wife?

Obaxxx:

Hell no..

But op, why'd she say those kind of rubbish about your tribe na? .

MufasaLion:
Had it been you married that woman, your thread today would have been about challenges you are facing in the marriage.

I'm happy for you, man.

Marriage is not what anyone should just jump into irrespective of the age. Stay smart!

I believe she said those things because she wanted me to forget about the idea of marrying Igbo,

but instead I should marry the woman from Kaduna.

7victor:


Should I connect you with that woman?

But she is not doing better than you.

emae009:
When did Senator Godswill Akpabio become a Calabar man?
Essien Udim in Akwa Ibom sounds like Calabar to you??
Please next time do the right thing and stop dragging people that are not from your tribe into it.
