while i wouldnt go as far as saying that inter-ethnic marriage is the new norm, it is more common-place now than it was before and more people seem to be embracing the idea. and my family has never set an ethnic embargo on anyone, "marry from wherever u want, just dont bring in troublesome characters".






OH, & I'm a christian.

fair enough. "OH"?

Gurgle:

fair enough. "OH"?

I see.

yeah its just how I feel! was discussing it with someone today, she said its not necessary for her but it is for me!

cant imagine grooving to flavour in my living room and the guy asking "what does it mean??" (although I myself don't know what it means ) no way!

cant wait to start ironing his Isi agu for him!

I wanted to add Fulanis to my list of "almost but not quites" but I don't think I have ever seen any of you in real life, youre like mythical creatures to me

anyway it seems like you still have plenty of Igbo girls to choose from so fear not!!

more like a neutral accent, due growing up amongst non-native hausa speakers.

i speak fluent hausa, comprehend the fulani dialect but i can only reply in english or hausa.

and as for meeting a fulani guy, dat one must happen, we are the ultimate wanderers afterall.

u know dem say we get better genes, so try giv us small opportunity, ur children go just too fine.

lol but are you guys still wandering?

and its not all of you who possess those qualities. meanwhile im sure I could find an Igbo guy who does

Sorry but im not moved!

how similar are hausa and Fulani btw? culturally and linguistically?

I always wondered but I cant find an answer

lygn19:
I want to get married to 5 wives,
One Igbo,
One from north,
One from Yoruba,
One either Delta or Ikwerre,
And one Ghana or white lady.

You're wicked! Only you?

the nomadic ones are still very much present, you'll always hear abt dem in the news causing trouble for local farmers in states like benue and other violent stuffs.

hausa and fulani are on entirely different spectrums both culturally and linguistically,especially the dialect. an average hausa man has absolutely no idea how to speak or even comprehend the language.



it just happens dat some of the more popular fulani cultures are either extremely weird or probably illegal (or both).e.g incentous marriages and shādi (marriage rites), this involves the prospective husband getting seriously flogged in the abdominal region in front of the whole town. anyone who dies is considered weak and hencw wasnt deserving of the bride.


and so wen they become civilised, the only culture dat even remotely mirrors theirs and is accepted as the norm is that of the hausa people, so they adopt a lot of the hausa culture as theirs.

needless to say,religion also comes into play, & since the fulani are not muslims they try to blend in with the rest of society and gain acceptance,hence why most adhere to islam as it is the dominant religion in the north.



And of coz igbo guys try small, but when compared to us, they don't even come close. and 95% of the fulani do possess those features.

Fulanis are not muslims??! so what are they? isn't that part of the wandering lifestyle, so that they can propagate islam?

yeah I have heard of the flogging. with the marriages its first cousins right? which is permitted in Islam.

any other "weird" customs?

would you say you are very into culture?

and yeah maybe the ones Ive seen are mixed with other stuff. because some of them could be confused with any tribe

Igbo in Delta (Anioma)

they were originally traditionalists, and a lot are still practicing it to this day. itz just dat wen they take up a cause, they are relentless.


weird customs? o.k letz see...




Taking a new bride who just gave birth back to her parents house & preventin the ozband from seeing her till she weans her baby.

diz is done because the verile young grooms are also relentless in their hustling for their wife's vagina and before you know it, a nursing mom with a 3months old baby is already pregnant again.think of it as our version of family planning.


and no, i'm not into culture or at least not most of it as i dont want to be flogged or marry my cousin or some shìt like dat.

LOL but you can leave the customs you don't like and practice the "good" ones.

I think that's a good custom more people should do it

Gurgle:
I'm Igbo and want to marry an Igbo but I don't care where his mother comes from. Just need the surname and compound, all other things na jare

hmmm reasons

I don't know ive just always preferred Igbo guys. just love em!

aside from that, wouldn't want to disappoint my parents/family

would worry that as the mother my culture wont be propagated as much as the father's side with children

I don't know im just not interested in other groups. I like the Yoruba swag but not to date/marry. I like Crossriver/ Akwa ibom guys too. but just to look at

what?? because of this i will search the lenght and breadth of this country to find u and when i find u, i will make u fall inlove with me then we shall see if ur above reasons will still stand or not. mind u am not igbo.

I'm not being purposely selective I just like Igbo people/guys. when I hear the person's name I just feel happy lol

indeed love conquers

but you still haven't told me which you are!

I think that's a good custom more people should do it

i'd rather not adopt any.
besides, most will consider someone like me to be an outsider since i aint a muslim.

but i do realize how odd it might seem to some people, seeing a christian fulani, just like how i've never met a muslin igbo.


but are ur parents both igbo?

or u're a "MIXED" offspring too.?

but how did you get to being a fula Christian? did you convert or is your family like that

I have heard of some Igbo muslims but have never met one in person.

do you ever feel isolated from others in the community because of the differences in faith?

do you feel more aligned with southerners because of your faith?
