I have kindred and friends from yonder there

baby124:
Congratulations OP. This is not the place to ask about the wedding process for Edo bride if you are not a mischevious and unserious groom. Don’t you have in laws who you can ask? Even at the worst you can watch videos on YouTube. Only a person who wants trouble, goes around asking foolish questions.

It seems like you are not confident in who you want to marry, so you come online to seek answers to your doubts. Okunrin a tojubole kiri. Nkan ti o wa lo ma ri last last. I sincerely do not like people like you. They get burnt at the end of the day and jump from frying pan to fire.

you have jst said it all what is he expecting to see or hear that edo people are good and not bad or the bad and not good?if you not comfortable with the woman you are dating pls oyinle find your level we leave that babe alone and marry the oyinle like you
And for those calling edo people first class witch wehdon if witch no dey your family una no go make nairaland living apartment u see e money and ubifranklyn here?their village witch cooperate with them,make una go settle una own

First of all let's start with your grammar, I am 'a European' man.

What part of Europe do you come from?
Don't they teach the rules in vowel sound in the part of Europe you come from? a, e, i, o, u...

OP, no mind me, we here in Nairaland and criticism are like 5 & 6

Lols

You are obviously the one with limited understanding of the English language.
You cannot rely on the letter that starts a word in deciding whether “a or an" comes before it. In most cases you rely on the sound.

European literally sounds as Yuropean. So it's A European

wow... And what are the Igbo sisters doing sef

Sorry to say our beautiful Igbo sisters don't travel outside more, mostly local

Hello everyone. It is my first intervention here and I expect many more.
I am a European man who has a girlfriend of Edo state for years, and thinking about getting married.
What can you tell me about the wedding in Benin City?
Greetings and thanks.

I take it that you are like me, a African man . English is not our first language.

No vex sire, art thou from Italy?

People say Edo girls fly at day time but just ignore them.

Edo people are generally easygoing people. They don't make trouble, don't find trouble, don't give trouble, unambitious and have not contributed anything meaningful to the growth and development of the country

People also claim the headquarters of witchcraft is in Edoland (first class azeh ) and their women often knock off their wealthy husbands in order to inherit his riches. Whether this is true or not, I am in no position to confirm or refute. Once again, IGNORE THEM.

They do not demand for an arm and leg during the marriage processes, and unlike certain parts of Nigeria, you will not need to break your bank to marry one of theirs. You will find that they will make most agreeable in-laws.

However, If you are a religious person, pray to God for guidance before settling down with your partner because love, good and evil does not know race, ethnicity or gender. With God, you can never go wrong

As a very longstanding member of nairaland this is unexpected of you. The man specifically asked about the wedding not about your thinly veiled prejudices.

The hustle for likes is real abi? Hope the few you've gotten made it worthwhile for you.

Sisi, you don't say yonder there. What is APC turning Nigeria to?

this is what will most likely happen. You will eventually die and the woman will inherit your property. just pray she's not the one that kills you. may God be with you as you marry her. Amen.

I know, smartypants BroownRoofRep. It's a deliberate tautology. It's all deliberate

Boss13:


Laughs - you just exposed your ignorance, but I understand you.

Europe is pronounced ”Yurope” and not Eerope as pronounced in Africa. So it is very wrong to write an European. It is a Yuropean. He is right and you are wrong.

At OP - Benin people have a massive rich culture and heritage. On the average I can say Africans value marriage more than the West. Hence, there is a bit of success in that. I wish you the best

Pesin no fit follow una joke again?

Brownville007:


Guy in a bid to be funny you just made a dunce of yourself. The OP is right, there are some vowels that goes solely with A and not AN in exceptional cases. Europe and Uganda are one of them. It is A Ugandan and not an Ugandan , A European and not An European. Next time do your research

Why are you taking the joke personal na?

alfseth:
i pity ur lyf ewu

Them Edo wings will come for me tonight shey?

Gentle034:

U ain't gonna hear Dat from my mouth. Wait lemme ask Zuka

hehehehe

FA13:


Stop displaying your ignorance and half-wit knowledge here.

European (jʊərəpiːən) is pronounced as though it starts with a consonant letter hence the use of 'a' and not "an".

Thanks.

Some jokes are easily misunderstood... Anyway, have a fun-filled day ahead!

exactly, i have noticed an increase in alot of fake posts on nairaland lately. I have a feeling traffic is dropping and some people who work for this website and now creating fake posts to gain interest. Look at the other topic of a guy who wants to marry a girl and she asked for 500k? you see the similarity? I also noticed another fake topic about a guy who said his ex wants him back because he is now employed!!! fake topics with similar patterns. they were all created by the same person

Thats how one idiot said he wants 2 divorce his wife 4 cheating on him with her boss. but doesn't no how 2go about it. He said he is comfortable and lives in a 5bedroom duplex yet he doesn't have d sense 2go 4a lawyer but instead he came 2 naira land to ask 4 opinion. They should call this naira land but opinion land

Op if you love your woman and she is well brought up and from a good family please go ahead and marry her. Forget about what people are saying about edo women.

I am an igbo man married to an edo girl.
And I can tell you in all honesty that marring her is the best decision I have ever made in my life.
The love. The respect .The peace of mind (even when I was jobless for almost 3 years ) is out of this world. And their traditional marriage is very cheap and easy.

So my advice is go for it.

I hope you know you are sick to have type this rubbish?

English is not everybody's 1st language, even in Europe. Talking of that, I bet that his English is a lot better than you could be in his native language

Not all Europeans use English as their official language therefore English is a borrowed language to them just as it is to you black Africans.

And what if they weren't fake? over sabi

I don't want to believe you are implying that he should have typed 'I am an European man.

This is why it is said that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

FYI, the OP's sentence construction is correct.

If you knew the in-depth rules surrounding vowels you would know that the word 'European' is silent therefore 'a' is used and not 'an'
