I have discovered that Ibo guys marry much later than thier counterparts of other tribes in Naija. Take for instance an average Hausa Man gets married very early even as a teenager. At 25 a Yoruba guy is already considering settling down and something similar applies to other tribes except the Ibos. At 35 Ikechukwu is happily single ; still posting Chioma his girlfriend. This trend has in turn affected their ladies. Why not? They must wait for Obinna to propose nah. Little wonder some of them has 'menopausal' marriages. Why is this a peculiar trend for Ibo men? Any benefits?

Because an Igbo man will not be comfortable in a single room apartment with his wife and three children,others can afford to do that infact I know a tribe that can even afford to sleep under the bridge tufiakwa!!!....its only an Igbo man that will never allow his legally married wife to be hawking satchets of detergents, beverages, cold water starch, matches etc, carrying all these on her head and still have a little baby at her back, it is also only an Igbo man that will never allow his wife to hit the streets of Lagos begging because she has a twins (most times when I see them I begin to ask myself, having twins as babies is it a blessing or has it become a curse?), ........an Igbo man treats his wife like a queen.

Even if the igbo guys marries late, they completely take care of their wife unlike the yorubas who doesn't even care if their wife dey chop. All they want is that name "married "and to hell with you woman,that is why in their culture adultery is allowed, because why? They are too lazy to work always looking for trouble and having no single strength to fight. The hausas, they love to marry thousands of women even when they can't be able to care for them, na lawlessness dey kill them. Which is better to marry someone appropriately or to just impregnate person carry am enter house, marriage don start...?! See dem, see dem mouth...

Kai! All these from a lady? Excuse me but there aint nuffin ladylike about your bursts out here.
Well, here u are justifying why igbo boys should marry late, and that's fair enough (at least u have ur tribesmen 's back) but don't come here to complain about Ifeanyi, Chimbueze or Obi not marrying u when U're inching close to menopause
The irony here is that my Igbo boys leave all their single 30plus women for other tribes to take in. Yes! Many igbo ladies I know married to the Yorubas are way into their 30s. Go figure!

Don't come here and spew unconfirmed trash. That was the igbo of yesteryears. Go to Ijegun and see for yourself the vast majority of igbo men living in face-me-i-slap-u-environment with their kids in 3s and 4s - in abject penury, just like other tribes in that neighbourhood.

You guys are talking rubbish. Why must you be so rich before u marry. If not that the country is bad ideally at 25-28, guys should have settled down. Well most igbo men I know at 50, their first child will be 10 years. Is that life?. You won't understand until u are 60 and u are still paying school fees for a child in secondary school. Must you guys be so so rich before getting married? It doesn't make sense. Stop justifying rubbish. What is wrong is wrong. I don't expect u people to understand now till u see your mates who started early relaxing at age 60 while u are still training a child in school.

Unknown to them, Igbos do not marry later than others because of bride price, rather because no Igbo man or woman would want to produce street children. Every Igbo man want feed his wife and children well, and provide for all their needs. Which is why the man will keep trying to make enough money before marriage so that neither his wife nor children would be subjected to servitude! It is a know fact that people get married with hundred thousand or even less in all Igbo land. Your marriage is actually determined by your pocket, in fact some people even still do like the yorubas in igboland, leaving and bearing children but of course they know they still have to do a marriage ceremony someday no matter how small. So marrying late has nothing to do with bride price.
