igbo men understand the real meaning of love and care when it comes to marriage they are the best to have as a husband,they marry late because igbo women understand once she is married she immediately an (ori aku) which means she is there to enjoy the whole wealth's including the children. Igbo men are so fly this is why they pamper their wives a lot buy anything she want in her life her dream will be fulfill,it is in their culture to pet their wives..

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.



God bless you. the simple answer is the level of poverty in the country... despite getting married late as that improve the level of poverty among the igbos compare to other tribes? because i dont see how that as made igbo or eastern part of Nigeria better than South-West...? they will never understand until they are still paying secondary school fees for their kids at 60 years old...

Those selling gala on the street of lagos are not mainly igbos, they are middlebelts the igbos among s them are few in numbers those ones u claimed u saw are mostly from ebonyi state although for so many years they are into farming and mining due too many abundant mineral resources in their state till today. At that time the rest of igbo states are controlling business and commerce banking in nigeria, is just recently they started moving to other states and start learning how to trade b4 they hardly leave their state or mix with other people..

You don't expect a guy of legal means and income to be able to build:

1- A community borehole,
2- Buy 2 cars for the bride's parents,
3-Build a community primary and secondary school(all which are part of the bride price)
before the age of 35...do you?... So that's why they marry late and that that's why if you take a census of the number of Single ladies in Nigeria as opposed to other tribes.. . Igbo ladies rank in first.


You forgot;
1. Okada for each elder
2. Bicycles for the youths
3. BlackBerry handsets for the siblings.
4. New Apartment for the parents.

And I didn't mention the final cash payments.

I don't know of any Igbo brothers who gets married at that age, worse scenario is 40 so there's likely a mix up somewhere

The hatred for the word "Igbo" is so much that i dnt even knw wat to say again.

Ok Igbo guys marry late cos of some factors that may nt be solely exclusive to the Igbo tribe but i think that custom norms play a lot role in deciding when a guy cud marry in the Nigerian society.

you cud agree with me that customs vary from tribe to tribe atleast that is what divides therefore making most opinions about the question valid.

I knw that some tribes especially in the north dnt find it wrong letting their young men marry even early but like i stated custom norms vary.

So in my Igbo context marrying early dosent rock our boat except you are an only son or u inherited your fathers wealth or you made wealth early enough and realy wants to settle down. And also marrying late dosent guarantee wellnes atleast u cud agree with me that their are ups and downs in a marriage union, but we Igbo guys believe that atleast we cud have tasted the good and bad sides of life before settling down.

And maybe your family suffered to train you ma broda forget marrying early cos ur people wil vehemently frown at that we Igbo guys know why

and lastly a lady once told me that she cud not marry her ex because they were of the same age bracket (25 and 27 respectively) and i was like "why?" then she told me that she prefered her husband (33 ) because he wud have knwn how to treat and respect women beta than guys of 20s.

I think you are right in the aspect of them settling down quite late.. But you are wrong for saying its 'ibo'. Fyi. There is nothing like ibo.. Its Igbo..

You're wrong bro.... And the op is right. The race is 'Ibo' while the language is 'Igbo'.... Eg. I speak Igbo language because am an Ibo boy.
