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.


I don't get this thing you guys are saying about Igbo men not allowing their wives to hawk. I've spent 2years of my life in Enugu, and I see female indigenes hawking, just as you would see in other places. The married women I saw and heard hawking and shouting ''okpa di'oku'', ''hot okpa'' everywhere, were they a figment of my imagination or what? how about the children of Igbo origin I saw playing with dirty clothes...

The morale of my 'story' is, there is poverty and hussling everywhere! Igbo or no Igbo. so, stop trying to impute it on other tribes alone, it's so not necessary. More so, it is a deliberate misrepresentation of the true state of affairs.

Thank you.

[quote author=Setaje post=30674684]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.


[/quote

There is a difference between being rich and having a steady flow of income before dabbling into marriage.I believe igbo are not waiting to be rich but to have flow of income. Marriage is a serious business my dear.Money is very central to marriage and modern living.Think of accommodation for the family,health matters,feeding,education and other social needs then you will know you have to plan it well.I have seen a lot of couples lost their kids because of N1,000.It is not how far but how well.In some other climes some people don't even marry .Every culture has it merits and demerits.Even in the olden days when farming was the other of the day, you had to have a barn stuffed with farm[your out put] produce before you marry in Igbo land.Statistics has shown that on the average Igbo marriages are more stable and cohesive than some other tribes who rush into it without adequate planning.It is not just about money but the desire to marry and stay married. There are millions of Igbos boys that made money ,built houses , bought cars and are in fact multimillionaires before 25yrs but they still marry at 30-40yeasr,when they are really ready and have the hunger to get married.Recently people have been committing suicide in some parts of the country as a result of pressures from unplanned marriage. Just like any other serious issues of life,if you fail to plan for your marriage,then you plan to fail.If it works for your tribe that you meet in a party ,have sex and move in, start making babies,no dowry, tomorrow you part ways,leave the children to fend for themselves and move on with another partner, it doesn't work for Igbo and that is why they are Igbo and you are who you are.

Igbo Guys Marry Late Cos They need to hustle to be self sufficient before starting a family,the bible clearly stated that "A man that can't provide for his family is worse than an infidel" I rather marry at 35-38 than be worse than an infidel ...The society of today is so skewed that there are very few ladies that can survive a marriage where the man is struggling to provide,in most cases her needs are not met,this leads to infidelity and unhappiness

Optimall:
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...
why would you say adultery is allowed in yoruba culture? you must be thinking from your Anus , let us face the fact , it is level of poverty in Africa or Nigeria that will make a man marry late. you need to travel around the world and get expose. Marry late wont stop the level of Poverty in any country. the fact is alot of things went wrong from the background of the igbo people . If you father marry late because he wanted to make lot of money to care for you , educate you they at age 23-25 you should have got a good job , same goes to the woman you want to marry. that mentality of getting married late those not solve anything about poverty ... abi no bi bendown select una dey come sell for lagos? abi Gala for holdup ...
