Its actually their lives, their decision too, the family shouldn't interfere.

But as much as it's their life to live, family consent/blessing can really be encouraging too.
I wouldnt wanna marry, and my family and in-laws won't warm up to my better-half and I, even though it shouldn't bother me.

The best way to convince them is to let the know u guys are really meant for eachother, & na God make am possible for una two. .

But honestly, it can be difficult convincing some families about inter-tribe marriage. Mehn, i hope they over look this archaic intermarrying ish and rejoice with ur friends shaa

You look like the "very annoying set of homosapiens" too?? May God purge and help your diseased mind.

Nword22:


Apes are even mistaken, God forbid.

tosyne2much:
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

PAGAN9JA:


thata his personal choice. none of your business. dont be a typical leftist

although he shouldnt have insulted the Igbos.

zicoraads:

Tosin, I used to think this way too, until now

tosyne2much:
You don't mean it? So what changed your thinking?

zicoraads:

Nothing did. But, just hope you are not the first son, and your parents ain't the 'He must marry from the tribe type.' Because when the family decides not to support your choice, trust me, it takes the grace of God. Man or not.

...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

U have said it all... he found that love because his step dad is igbo.


Are u igbo?

PAGAN9JA:



love is just temptation and illusion.

if you focus hars you can even fall in love with a lifeless chair.

just like many ppl fall in love with dogs , jesus, allah etc.


tribe is important.

marriage ia the union of two families . tribe is culture language religion everything.

tommynico:


But still I will remain a Yoruba man, I grew up with the psyche that it's all thesame every where, in each society or tribe, we are only different in our tongue.

Wow this is highly offensive even as a Yoruba man, it's disgusting. That's a terrible mindset

blackbeau1:
bigots or not, you need your parents blessings . Marriage isn't a joke. It's not bf/gf.

TruePass:
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
That's when u look back and see u walking alone like Liverpool.
Even the Bible says go to your tribe n marry
No love, marriage or relationship without problems on d long run.

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

If her family members are against it, just try your best to erase any stereotypical belief they hold against your tribe but if things remain the same, kindly go for another lady to save yourself from family wahala
