Why Do Igbo People Detest Marrying Other Tribes? by Capableben(m): 12:45am On Nov 27, 2013 |
One hardly sees an ibo man succumb to marrying a lady from a contrasting origin. The few that end up marrying ladies from other tribes are always scolded at or not given much support.. Why is this so Is it culturally inclined? maybe other ladies are not as good as good as igbo ladies Give me answers! 1 Like |

And what about the Igbo ladies that marry from outside their tribe? Though i'll agree that an Igbo lady is more likely to marry out than an Igbo guy. But there are Igbo guys that have married from outside their enclave but they mostly marry from the eastern axis. 1 Like |

They believe Igbo women are better than women from other tribes and likewise their kinsmen believe this too. So, when you marry from any tribe not igbo you'd be considered to be someone deviating from the Normal way things should be done hence the scolding. 9 Likes |

an Igbo lady will not like to marry from another tribe. Usu igbos grow up to think they need to marry from within, such that even if a guy works in niger republic, he must come back home when he is ready for marriage. thats y xmas and easter are not just festive seasons in d east but times to check out them babes. Mere interstate marriage is some news in my hometown not to talk of inter tribe. Most inter tribal marriages involving an Igbo occurred/occurs due to some strong chance, say due to pre marital pregnancy or prolonged living in a non eastern location where friendship ties might be built with non igbos, these 2 factors affect the females more. 26 Likes |

I think it comes mainly from understanding, as well as a desire to keep the traditional family structure going - not because "the women from other tribes are not as beautiful, clean, faithful or skilled at cooking" as some people on this thread would say. The belief in some parts of Igboland, is that it's a lot wiser marrying from a family that understands yours, because in times of fights, misunderstanding and tension between you and your wife, your extended families can step in, hold a general family meeting and resolve the issue; thereby ensuring a longer and fulfilling marriage. So, when you see Igbo men marrying out, it's mostly Efik, Ibibio, Ekoi and the other Eastern tribes. My home state of Abia has a lot of grey areas, because a lot of people there are products of Igbo-Ibibio unions. But I do have to stress, this belief does not apply to everyone - myself for example. During my teen days, I did date an Ekiti Yoruba girl... Muslim for that matter -- Shocking, aye? Not really. Her tribe was barely an issue; but she was quite a hard sell to my mom because of her religion. Over time, though, people just learned to let it be and get with the program, dude. 8 Likes |

Who is scolding pSquare for marrying a Yoruba woman?. Who is scolding Emeka anyaoku for marrying a Yoruba woman?. Is Gowin Okpara not married to a Yoruba woman?.Ike Nwachukwu married Yoruba and he is no less Igbo than others. There are thousands of Igbo men married to women from western Nigeria, the statistics is low with northerners mainly because of religious issues. Even John Amechi is trying to get married married to a gay Yoruba man. 23 Likes |
