"Igbo Men Marry Late At Age Bracket (45,50,60)" , and so what? Whose business? Ours (I mean Ndigbo) of course! So, @poster, how does this concern you? See trouble see me o! You are a hired mourner, that cries more than the bereaved.
You so hate Igbos yet you made a 'conclusive' research on their lifestyle. I take it to mean that you don't know what to do with your time. Please get busy!

 Grin Grin  ''Just a question" eh? Lol. . . I see you're trying so hard to be the 'victim' instead of the 'Crusader' you obviously are. People gave you honest answers in the beginning but all you did was plaster them with inflammatory remarks. You vehemently rejected every input that it is the norm for them to marry from age 35, instead you asserted that it is the norm for Igbo men to marry at the age of 45, anything less than than is pure fantasy and unfounded.  How can anyone give you answers when all you want to do is listen to your own voice?

@poster, you are really going beyond bounds.  This is not a laughing matter.  It is obvious that you really lack home training.  Rather than accept wise counsels from able and dignified Igbo sons and daughters on Nairaland, you resort to name calling.

I forgive you seeing that you are a juvenile, as someone rightly observed.

On a final note, Stop being opinionated.  Learn to respect people's ethnicity.

Anyway if you read my post carefully you will see that i did not insult anyone at all, except those who did insult themselves which i returned back to them.

When you debate in a topic, it does not mean you did not want to accept others opinions. I stood on my own ground that what i said is the truth, then is left for anyone to say whatever he knows about it and then give proof if he has any.

so it shouldn't bring insult on me or even to my parents ok. If you check what those that i replied said; you will see that they started it and they will surely have.

This is a question and nothing more or less. Just say your opinion and do not abuse anyone.

By your speech you too lack HOME TRAINING AND UNDERSTANDING. I DON'T WORSHIP OR DIE FOR TRIBE. IF SOMETHING IS BAD I SAY IS BAD, I DO NOT COVER PEOPLE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE IGBO,HAUSA,YORUBA,CHRISTIANOR MUS.LI.M. OK. I stand on the truth.

May Kelly, can i ask you, did you go to iboland to get an ibo man and can't get known.  Instead of being bitter, i might be more constructive to approach an elderly ibo lady to help you.  If you really beg her, she will call a meeting with her sister friends and they will find one for  you.  No matter how wrenk you are, there must be an ibo man that can manage you.  You carry on like you don't like ibo's but you speak the language, that don't make no sense.  Sis, keep it real, all you have to do is ask.
