Why We Should Support Tribal Marriages by PAGAN9JA(m): 3:51pm On Sep 20, 2011
Say Yes To Tribal Marriages My Nigerian Brothers And Sisters!

let us show all those people who love licking the feet of the west, that we Nigerians are a unique people with a rich culture and heritage and how we are determined to preserve, protect and nurture our culture, no matter what anyone says about it because it is OUR CULTURE, OUR BLOOD AND OUR TRIBES.    cool wink

our culture is in our hands.

Well how is it even possible that you consider Nigerians as your "brother" and sisters" when you are so willing to discrimiante a large segement of the population on the basis of "tribe"

If two people from diffferefent backgrounds can see through their difference to work towards a marriage how does it affect you?

Sir you are just way too ethnocentric.

we can be brothers/sisters and work for each other and help each other. but it doesnt mean we start marrying each other and haveing hybrid kids and destroying our culture. angry

@ Poster,

Do you mean inter-racial marriages or inter-cultural?

For me, I will marry whom ever I believe in and won't let racial or tribal issues get in the way. Wetin be tradition self if no be laws of men wey dey discriminate a group and allow a few?

Please let true love reign across the nation (at least)

@OP get this in your head, inter-tribal marriages will only increase from now on. get used to it. culture is dynamic, not static. igbo culture, yoruba culture,etc will continue to change forever and ever. you can't hold any culture static, you'll lose the battle.

I'm from Edo state, but I'm determined to marry a Nigerian woman from another tribe.

Why? Because I know there would be some stupid old Nigerian tribalist that will call me dirty names. Be rest assured that I won't hesitate to inflict harm on said individual in the form of merciless beatings ( slaps, kicks, punches. You name it. I'll do it!)

You people might think I'm joking but it's truly my number one fantasy to inflict harm on Nigerian tribalists. If given the opportunity to kill either a Nigerian tribalist or Hitler, I won't hesitate to spare Hitler.

I'm sure your ancestors along their trajectory must have mixed whether minor or major, I don't think it necessarily destroys culture (because even some unmixed children don't even maintain their culture) but anyway to tell you the truth I don't think it's necessarily bad for you to want to marry your own but when you campaign for others to follow your path I just wonder

. . .the funny thing is the vast majority of every group on earth marries their own people so kini big deal . . . it's not like you're starting a revolution or something tongue

That shouldn't be a bone of contention for people if someone prefers to marry one of their own becasue that's their buisness the same as I feel it shouldn't be the objective of another man to dictate which person such and such should be marrying imo.

By 'dictate', I'm guessing you mean 'pressure' undecided . . Anyway, I don't see what's so wrong in that.

. . .only if it affects the person such as family or potential in-laws but quite frankly I don't know what business a random stranger has to be "pressuring" anyone on who they should be marrying . . . I don't know how he/she could be affected by another strangers choice (well maybe except when that stranger is from his tribe or alternatively wants to marry from his tribe undecided)

. . .anyway my 2 kobos have been spent.

All we tribalists want is for our tribes, culture and religion to survive and thrive in unity for Nigeria's progress. Trust me fellow, if I see a person like you anywhere near me, I will send you to jesus as soon as possible, so he can teach you to cut wood, in hell. angry angry angry angry

who is talking about discrimination, sister i think you didnt get me. i am talking about UNITY IN DIVERSITY.

we tribesmen (and women) must preserve our tribes and culture, yet at the same time work[i] together[/i], for the progress and development of our nation. whats wrong in that

PAGAN  9JA:

Ok what I meant when I used the term discrimination is because of your stance you are prepared to overlook other women from Nigeria who do not happen to be from your tribe but then again that is completely your prerogative and I don't see anything malicious or wrong in that.

we tribesmen (and women) must preserve our tribes and culture, yet at the same time work[i] together[/i], for the progress and development of our nation. whats wrong in that

Well I do agree that culture must be preserved but remember culture is not static and I would be lying if I said I don't see any pros in such stance but even if one doesn't marry outside of their group people still adopt foreign culture (because we are all interdependent) whilst some even forsake their own.

Oh and of course someone like me - who hails from a tiny ethnic group - may feel the need to marry from my own group so as to encourage our population (I think in cases like such there is probably an urgency in implementing such ideal) . . . but like I said earlier it's your right to marry from your group just as I believe another person has the right to marry from the group they please . . . I'm not trying to undermine you it's just my opinion sha.
Re: Why We Should Support Tribal Marriages by tpia5: 3:01am On Sep 23, 2011
no doubt there are urgent reasons why someone would have to marry outside their ethnic group [gender imbalance or oppression being one of them], but for the most part a lot of people seem to approach dating and so on in an extremely frivolous manner as if they're really little more than s.perm donors.

or just looking for designer babies.
