Why Do Yoruba Guys Marry Igbo Girls? by Fiscabally(m): 6:33am On Jun 22, 2010 |
Iv seen and knew some well educated yoruba men marrying igbo girls this days.im not against this but i thought there are qualities that attracted this.my brother recently got engaged with an igbo girl and i told 1 of his friends(yoruba) who is'nt aware of it,he was like 'correct,ur bro get sense',i askd him y such comment and he xplains that igbo girls are very dedicated and helpful to their husband financially and does'nt lavish money unnecessary on material things like d yoruba girls,and he also gave me some other reasons like faithfulness to their relationship and so on.Whats ur view on this,cos it seems i might be going 4 igbo girls too. 1 Like |

That's the same way some people will say that igbo women are all about the money, they lack respect and will not be dedicated to you if you dont spend your life savings taking care of them and their siblings, (b4 i get crucified, i'm igbo too) Tribe has nothing to do with certain qualities a woman might possess, it's more about the woman's personality and upbringing. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Actually i'll say sth thats quite politically incorrect. No proper igbo girl will marry a yourba cock(i mean born and breed in igboland). Most of the igbo girls who are born in yourbaland(especially Lagos) grow up with some form of inferiority complex. I've personally met quite a number. Usually they speak little or no igbo, are unfamiliar with igbo culture, but fluent in yourba. So yourba cocks with no game to hook up a yourba chick find these as easier prey. Ofcourse they usually falld to find 'solace' for their inferiority complex(not all though) So for a yourba cock to marry an igbo girl 2 conditions must be met: 1. The igbo girl is breed in yourbaland, usually speaks yourba, culturally disconnected from her native igbo homeland. 2. The yourba cock has no game to get a yourba girl. From my findings and interveiws on inter-tribal relationships, its the same reasons why you have more hausa men marrying yourba girls. Many of my hausa friends have yourba wives 3 Likes |

excanny:So what do we call this type of person? Still igbo? Tribalistic minds will. But to me, probably not a proper igbo. This one of the reasons i'm advocating that igbo men should not be carrying along their women/daughters to foreign lands, especially in this unsafe jungle called Nigeria. They should be in igboland and having monies sent to them if need be, while we hustle anywhere. This is how to live in foreign lands. This way we wont have the above identity confusion. |

Fiscabally:Yes. Once in a while, there's an exception to the normal rules. But looking at it from a holistic point of veiw, the margin is slim(probably 1 percent)compared to the ones on the other hand. 1 Like |

AYODEJI4LOVE:No! But, why do Igbo guys keep running away from their girls? Answer: the bribe price is too much! Thoughts about their shops/stores in Aba, Onitsha and Alaba won't make them spend as much as 1million naira a yoruba guy spends for the bride price of an Igbo girl (fact). |
Re: Why Do Yoruba Guys Marry Igbo Girls? by excanny: 1:54am On Jun 26, 2010 |
whiteroses:Dear, dont be worried. Believe, igbos are the most accommodating i've seen in this world. Why? Igbos are very migratory in nature. They cannot to be hostile to strangers because most times they are often strangers. Probably you are yoruba. She worked in Lagos? Many igbos who lived/worked in Lagos develop what i call 'retaliatory dislike' (myself inclusive) due to the unwelcome attitude of the locals to immigrants. Its your boyfriend that will 'sell' you to his mum, together with your attitude. Normally, igbo girls are raised to be hardworking, they do all stuff of tough task, like ride bicycles. I'm not saying you ride a bicycle, just showing how tough igbo girls are expected to be. If you are not lousy and industrious, you'll be good enough for any igbo mother-in-law and accepted. |

It's because we're nice girls . I'm not gonna lie, often times I find myself lingering toward Yoruba men as well [not intentionally though]. It just happens. Igbo, don't you like me?!?!? Is it only the Yoruba men that like me? Where are my Igbo men hiding? 2 Likes |
