The media personality made the statement in a video posted on her YouTube page. In her words: "I think a lot of things we call African culture are actually a confusion and bastardization of Victorian ideas, Victorian philosophy and Victorian culture.

This is why this Yoruba thing is very interesting because what people don't like is that they are paired on one hand to be very Western and on the other hand they behave like bushmen who are polygamous in nature" she said.

Funmi Iyanda went on to say the modern Yoruba man struggles in between traditional Yoruba values and Victorian principles. "What you get are these young men who on the surface of it look like westernized men but deep down they have these ideas of Yoruba ideas of what relationships should be.

Deep down the average Yoruba man wants to be like his great-great-great grandfather. He doesn't really mind his wife cheating as long as he doesn't know."

Escobase:

If valuing marriage institution means that you become modern day slaves,
then it is better to go against it.
Buy what do I expect from someone who is considered a property and
sold off by the parents.
It really sucks when you have no human value and no right to inheritance
simply because you are female.
I am sorry that your life really sucks.

OkoNDOoBo:
only if u have been to south west, 90% of prostitues in any brothel in south west re of Igbo extraction, from Lagos island , down to lekki, Allen avenue, badagry, mile 2, ikotun, abule egba, out of every 5 girls in a brothel 4 re Igbo's, it is of recent Yoruba girls re joining the trade.

even in far away north east your Igbo sisters re engaging in prostitution there

Jyde89:
Yea she's right, after all she's married to a yoruba man, didirin

Austinoiz:
How would they mind when their women na bad market...wear 1 undies for more than one week, rarely bath and parade around owambe venues in unwashed attaires?

Op, check am nah.

REALLY!!!

Unclerukus:
She isn't married. But she says the truth, Many Yoruba people don't respect the sacredness of marriage, their level of promiscuity in marriage and relationships is so high that I've restrained myself from dating any of them even if I like them.

InyinyaAgbaOku:


Igbos women are held on a higher pedestal in Igboland and Nigeria more than your whoring women and men.
Yes, in Igboland, marital cheating is a big deal.
Is your value linked to inheriting property? What about making yours?
Valuing marriage is not slavery, it's self discipline.
That's why Igbo nuclear families are lovely to everybody.
High bride price is not selling cos the woman never separates from her family and the latter comes for her in times of distress.
Carry your slave mentality and swerve

latsy:


You are suffering from delusion, your women are the most
oppressed in modern day Nigeria, no other tribe in Nigeria
comes close. Your women have no inheritance neither in
their father's house nor in the husband's house(their sons
rule them after the husbands death). Sometimes I feel so
sad that my fellow country people are so dehumanised and
condemned to live a pathetic life just because they are female.

Jyde89:


and this is a result of a survey you ran or you just saying it based on the few people you've seen, promiscuity runs in every tribe.

Bridget95:
baba free that thing!

Igbos place a huge bride price on their daughter as for a reason. if you know that you are ready financially for marriage then you don't need to worry about the price.

The reason why a tout who can't afford to take care of himself marries as many wives as possible and runs away or abandons the woman as rampant in other regions and culture but absent in igbo culture is because of the marital right test.

we ensure a man is fit all round before he takes our daughters. if not for the marital rites stuff,many agbero,lay about and idiots from other region would have messed our daughters and leave many of them to cater for their children.
As for inheritance, the male inherits his father's wealth along with his wife, while the ladies joins their husband's to inherit his husband's father wealth.

martineverest:
simple truth....im not tribalistic

Unclerukus:
Yes, it runs in every tribe but the Yoruba people operate on a different level. I have dated many Yoruba girls than the average Yoruba man and I am also quite the journeyman, I have seen things. All tribes cheat, but when a married Yoruba woman starts cheating, it's best the husband has eyes at the back of his head especially if he's rich and has properties, my current neighbor is experiencing this now and the wife sleeps around with lowlife thugs in the area like a dog on heat, he's the only one in the area that keeps getting visits from armed robbers even though there are other rich men in the street, the man is helpless. A married easterner that's cheating( though rare) is more likely to leave the marriage and meet their lovers than pretend and scheme. There's always a hint of deceit in a relationship with yourubas. whether marriage or relationship except for a few that are God fearing.

CIOSYLVA:
HONESTLY THERE IS A HIGH LEVEL OF INFIDELITY AMONG YORUBA COUPLES.
MY BOSS ONCE TOLD ME THAT A TYPICAL YORUBA WIFE HAS A YOUNG BOY WHO IS SERVICING D HONEY POT TOO. AND THE HUSBANDS MAYBE BE AWARE BUT DONT CARE AS LONG AS THEY DONT KNOW THE PERSON. AND ALSO MOST MARRIED YORUBA MEN LOVES SLEEPING WITH ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE..
