You are stupid for saying that, you do not even deserve reasoning for saying Yoruba men are irresponsible

You are the one who is stupid. Did you read what your useless Yoruba sister said about Igbo women that made me respond in that manner? You guys cannot just come here and insult igbos and expect us to just swallow the bullshit and keep quiet. Go and condemn your Yoruba sister for her comments first. I was only responding to her provocation

for me when it comes to marriage tribe matters, I can't afford to have children who have lost their heritage because of my marrying outside my tribe. soo I'll say fuccck that feeling called finding love out my tribe we chose who to Love! I've Love ! my advice the word of elders are words of wisdom. on the other hand follow your heart. in rihana's "we found love in a hopeless place."

You nearly lost him because your family was not being sincere with the wife and her tribe from the start or from the other side...Be sincere,right from the marriage date,you all have had this feelings deep down.Or am i lying.

Hatred manifest in many ways even just not showing it but deep down in your heart.

u dont kno the story.... becoz the whole family gave the girl everything.
We even sacrified our brothers love for her.
Because he shifted most of his love for us to her and still we were not bothered.

But her wicked mum later gave her bad advice for no good reason to call off the engagement.

anyways i dnt wana go into that anymore..My brother is happily married now to a delta gal, with 2kids living abroad with his family.

And im not sure the yoruba girl in question is married yet becoz i jam her on d road all d time.

You might be right, but when love finds you, it might not be from your tribe.

You are more stupid for not knowing what she said before you jumped into the matter. Go and follow all the rubbish she has been writing about igbos from the front Page. I didn't want to respond to anything anyone writes here but that her particular comment I responded to annoyed me. I decided to give it back to her in kind. You're not the only ones who know how to insult other tribes. If you dish out the insults then you must be ready to receive insults back

How do you come up with this demonic suggestion?
I am full fledged Yoruba and my wife is from the Royal blood in Anambra, yet, we didn't have this problems.
And forget all these Yoruba and Igbo pooh on NL; if you touch my wife, you'll live to regret it!
Good enough, my in-laws do not reason as some IPOB do. When I met the King, I was more than impressed and knew that no matter our degree of tribalism, many people are still filled with their humanity.
You are very stupid(bolded). Did u come across the words yoruba or igbo from my write-up? Or is it d case that u hv mental issues undecided

That is just one fu.cked up family amongst a million others which might have bn better. She wasn't actually meant for your brother, you just have to thank God for the success.

There's a lot of igbo culture being promoted within the igbo-British community. Have a look at the channel.

Reading post here i weep for our youths.With this mentality ours will be worst.I and my family will never ever discriminate against culture or religion.Whoever my daughter or son wants to marry.They are free.Have you ever thought what will make your son or daughter bring someone and say this is the one after all the people they have met.If you take a minute and think you will support them.

My step dad is an igbo man from the east, anambra state to be precise, married to my mum, a Yoruba woman and they have lived happily for thae past 22 years without any hitch or break.....who told you yorubas don't like igbos? It is wrong for you to say that, you would be roght if you say some Yoruba people don't like igbo likewise how some igbo people don't like the yoruba people.
...belive me when I say what I say..dou we don't know ourselfs...I hv lives as both a yoruba person and as an igbo person...when I was a yoruba person...we were taught to hate the igbos and the girls told not to marry them...when I became an igbo person..in the inner circles...I noticed a deep hate for the hausa from the igbo angle and a simple un seriousness about the yorubas..they will always hails the yorubas cuz of thier education,criticize them for allege dirtiness,criticised them for being too fearful,criticicise them for too much oil in thier soup, praise them for thier respect for elders, praise them for thier constant use of thier language..in all..they will tell you the yorubas are good ppl but they have to also respond to them insulting the igbos with equal insult..you are seeing peace and love across tribal line cuz your nu dad is igbo...he it were the other way round..you would hv left the family cuz of marginalization and insult...jumoke mä gf..a gal from lag..whom mum is igbo.. and dad yoruba would tell you better

I still don't understand why A GROWN UP MAN will give his family members the chance to sit down to decide or discredit whom he should marry or what tribe he should marry, on the ground of stereotypes and tribalism . It's nauseating I must say

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS bend-down and listen to them they cum to dis world before u..they have seen tinz dat makes them to say dat..MARRIAGE is not just about LOVE alone,think of ur kids the type of human they will be..E.G fulani tribe are most pretty and handsome bt they have an unforgiving heart and a heart to kill imagin ur child havin a heart to kil,he might kill u one day...BOTH FAMILIES DOSNT SUPPORT THEY SHOULD END IT FOR FUTURE SAKE....IGBO&YORUBA TRIBE IS BIG ENOUGH TO SELECT ONE MAN OR WOMAN AS A LIFE PARTNER

It's true what you say, but I hate it when people who should be more logical and reasonable say it's disgusting for them to marry from another tribe just because of some unfounded reasons. Let's marry who our hearts choose, not because of sentiments and if the marriage should fail, it shouldn't be blamed on the tribe or race because we humans accross all spectrum of races have thesame set of good and bad people living among us

Don't get me wrong. This has nothing to do with respecting your elders

The bone of contention here is that, why should a matured man let some family members decide who he should marry?

Are you for real.Kindly go for another lady.Is that your view about marriage.Like if a man decide to marry a lady.If family say no, he looks for another one.Are ladies point and kill.Lets stop deceiving ourselves.Before a man in this generation decides this is the girl.If his family makes him to leave her.Big shame.Goodluck with the next one he picks
I guess you read where I stated that he should keep pushing forward till the family would be convinced and reconsider

Not worth the stress.
Love dey sweet when u start new. But over time there will hurdles and problems, mind you it must come.
So who will u fall to cheesy
That's when u look back and see u walking alone like Liverpool.
Even the Bible says go to your tribe n marry grin
No love, marriage or relationship without problems on d long run.

Op na TruePass I give u so, if u like play enter throwing grin
