Lol... What's this one saying?! Igbophobia...

If you have bad attitude and they've rejected you before. That's on you. Don't blame it on being Igbo or the in-laws being non-igbo.

Are you trying to say that if they had married within their own ethnic group, they would not have met people with such dubious traits? Guy, free your mind. The good, bad & ugly exist in every single tribe, in every district and on every single street. Wake up and smell the coffee.

I know a couple who had an inter-ethnic marriage, and are still going strong after 37 years! They are already grand-parents, and their home has always been an example of harmony, peace and well-being. And there are many others, like them. I also know a couple who hailed from the same local govt area, but different villages. Their marriage lasted only 8 months, despite the fact that both families speak the same language and were all in support of the union right from the start! If you look hard enough, you would also notice couples from the same ethnic background whose marriages did not work out, too. So free your mind.

I am not babalawo to know.
But most of them said they wanted to avoid those things by marrying outside of tribe.

But they got even worse marrying outside.

But perhaps they turned down guys that might have been better within tribe by deliberately choosing to go outside. At least, the siblings who married within tribe remain married, and from what is known, those ladies appear to have got a better deal.

Therefore maybe your question should have been directed at the ladies who were biased against their own tribe. They used the experiences of some relatives from a previous generation to negatively judge their own tribe. Maybe they should have realised that whether within or outside tribe, things can go awry. My unscientific observation is that for those who married around same time within tribe, divorce rate is much lower than those who went outside. Maybe just a coincidence, but it is as it is.

Marriage is not that easy. You need every support structure you can get. Friends, family, etc.
While love is great, it can be fickle and can also fade. Mills & Boon love exist only in Mills & Boon.

Let's not fool ourselves: race, tribe, religion are still very important factors people consider when marrying. I have seen it across many countries. What would be ideal in 21st century and what happens in reality do not always sync.

Well, I grew up amongst them
And I saw this behaviour among some of them
.But that does not mean that did that because they were Yoruba.

It was done because they made poor choices

I met a girl on nairaland, she works in Ibadan with a telecommunications company, I work in Lagos with an international organization.

I liked her despite her tribe, when she heard my tribe, she said hell noooooooooooooo.

That was the end of the fairytale.

Just like that. This is where your power of persuasion should have come into play.
