Please dear fellow NDer My name is Michael am from Ondo state. I have been having this problem of late, my mother said i cant marry my girlfriend simple because she is from ijebu. What annoy me most was that my mother called the girl and told her i cant marry her. Poeple please help me ooo, i dont know what to do.

@poster,

Its true that indigene of Ondo state hardly get married to Ijebu's indigene. This is b/cos they believe once married, Ijebu women would turn their sons against them and take the control of the house from the man. Many have a lot of examples to back up their claims. Notwithstanding, I believe the decision lies with the intending couples and not the parents. If you truly love ur fiancé and believe both of you can leave in peace and harmony for the rest of ur life; why not go ahead and convince ur parents prayerfully.

I'm from Ondo state and my wife is from Ijebu-Ode. Although my dad was not happy with the whole idea but he latter gave in and today we are all happy.

I personally believe the success and/or otherwise of a marriage depend on individual value rather than his or her geographical location.

If you cant make decisions about what is best for you or what your heart wants, how are you going to cope as a married man?

I fully agree with you MrCrackles, his your mother going to choose the wife you are going to marry.

Your mother do not control you.

You are a MAN,ACT LIKE ONE!

Act like a man,you don't need anybody to control your life.

Seriously, what do other Yorubas have against Ijebus? This story is very common
