Zilja: Good. so then why are you crying you yourself just said that it is my "opinion", right? and that im entitled to it and its my prerogative(special power/right/privilege) beblessed: Some pipo are just silly. Pagan 9ja, my sure if someone should insult ur parents, u would nt find it funny. Hw does marrying from outside ur tribe make u weak? Pls mind the way u talk about others there is nothing to insult about my parents, and im sure i would be able to defend it appropriately. When a person belongs to a tribe, he/she has a duty towards preserving its rich, culture, heritage, bloodline, etc. The culture of a tribe depends on the continuation of its purer bloodline.(i dont need to go into details. remember what happened to the Native Americans and the Early Europeans??) When a person cannot commit this basic duty by marrying among his people, within a tribe that has given him everything: his identity, culture, a life, etc., he has no sense of responsibility. Now the reason why i said that is because its pretty much obvious. A person only does such things when feels horn.y/sexually tempted to such a woman. And everyone knows todays already mixed white woman are expert at the art of seduction. Now, the reason why i called him weak, because such a person who is ready to leave all his past behind for a white-skinned hotness is a man who can be easily misled. who knows what other things can tempt him to do things. maybe money, more women, etc.. This is just my thorough analysis of course. |

zannie: There are thousands of Igbos married to non-Igbos. I'm Igbo myself so I know. We may be very traditional when it comes to marriages, but I know we are open hearted and welcoming. Nobody should be seizing ur fiance's passport in this era just because he wants to marry you. He should have a very long talk with his people. He's a grown ass man, and should fight for what both of u have, if he loves you just as much as you love him. Unless his father's brothers have something against him or had something against his father, I see no reason why they should behave this wayGrammar!!! U of ol ppl n again being an Igbo lady should knw beta n dat it goes far beyond d spouse bt even d children. |

PAGAN 9JA: +100 ! Any man who marries outside of his tribe is a weak minded fhuck up! How do you intend to advance the cultural values of your ppl? Women are the ones that raise kids as most men are always working to provide for their family and how do you teach your children their mothers tongue which has every aspect of your cultural value embended in it ? I liken such person to a sold slave who will never trace his lineage again! Do they even know how they are perceived with their foreign wife ? I am not even thinking of marrying outside Anambra talk more of Igboland! Abomination ! 2 Likes |

Ace: Be strong Melissa, you must be going through hell and I feel very sorry for your predicament. My honest opinion is, however, that the man you are engaged to is not being honest or completely straightforward with you. I know of countless inter-racial relationships comprising of an Igbo man with a European/North American/Asian woman. Too many to mention. On a personal level, my father is Igbo and my mother is European and my mother has nevery been treated poorly or disrespectfully by the family. While it is true that Igbo parents prefer their offspring to marry within the tribe and sometimes even within the state (for example Imo marrying Imo), it is extremely rare that a family will go through such lenghts as you describe to prevent an inter racial marriage. Also it is extremely uncharacteristic of an Igbo family to prevent the brother of your fiance from travelling abroad the way you described. If anything the Igbo welcome any attempt to migrate in order to better our lot in life through education or business. This is nonsense! Who are you to speak for over 35 million Igbos around the world. You are not even a pure Igbo! Just because your father was a weak man and couldnt protect his cultural values doesnt mean the rest of Igbos are like him! Am sure you dont have the ability to read,speak nor write in Igbo because of your father irresponsibility and weaknesses . You need to STFU and continue where your father stopped!
