Dear Readers,
I happen to find myself in a terrible situation . My parents who i love so much and have the ultimate respect for have threatened to disown me and make sure that none of the family members attend the wedding or even associate with me ever again if I go on and get married to the love of my life who happens to be a Hausa man.
My parents happen to be strict christian and church elders.We were brought up to the God fearing, love people no matter the race or religion. .I was totally shocked when they told me that i couldn’t get marrried to my fiance because he is Hausa .
I told my parents, because he is from the north doesn’t make him a Boko Haram, but they would not listen. I tried to explain that he is from a royal home in Kano, and moreover we met in the states, and he is not capable of such evil act, but they still refused to consent.
They sighted the example of the ‘Mutalab guy’ and said they will not as much as trust any Hausa person again.How shallow can they be but I’m determined to damn the consequences and stick to this guy.
I’m not ready to trade my love for my parents’ perception.
Am I making a wise decision?

Is dis bobo the guy?

Anyway, try and make them see reason with you. Is he a muslim? Are u ready ti convert to his religion too

You have to find a way to see them reason along with you. Get in touch with people you know they respect so much, so they can help you talk to them.

I'm not in support of someone going into a marriage without his parents' consent.

Think about it, if anything goes wrong in the marriage, you probably won't have a family to fall back on.

You just have to make them reason with you, give them examples of good hausa people that you know of and like Vikin said you also have to consider your parents' point of view, maybe religion is also a reason and trust me it may really a big deal for your parents.

The same 4-year-age-difference guy right?

Is the OP gay or what?

The fear of boko haram n its lineage is d beginning of lineage continuity.

I see nothing wrong provided the parents of the Girl are ready for this

And do you have one? Did you not see that the OP is male?

So guys now jump out of the ethnic and racial politics section and come to claim woman in the romance section? Wonders shall never end. And people don't even look at gender before commenting.
