Acidosis: 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).

shut up..almost all Igbo men marry Igbo women.

Just got married to a stunning damsel from my Idenmili town and she calls me "Nnaa". Gives me goose bumps.

Now,if you must know I'm both emotionally and morally against any marriage involving Igbo and Yoruba. I believe it is more between yoruba guys and Igbo girls and we all know men are the one that go after women not the other way round. So,I wanna ask yoruba guys this; Is anything wrong with your women ? I heard they all have big a.ss like Omotola and Tolu Oniru but I still can't tell why you still fancy the "bearded","muscular" and "materialistic" Igbo women. Yes,leave those ugly Igbo women the mess alone. Face your women because I believe there are a lot of good qualities in them.

I look down on any Igbo woman married to a yoruba man.

I actually prefer the non Igbo in Edo,Delta and Ekoi groups.

Do whatever you like but don't expect me to like it. Look up the divorce rate among the Yoruba. And be ready to welcome illegitimate children very soon. I know what it is; He is nice and has money,right ? And he treats you with so much respect,right ? Have you ever asked him why he didn't marry from the millions of single yoruba women,available ? Do you think yoruba people like you ? Let me spell it clear to you. The sufferings and marginalization of the Igbo in today Nigeria were initiated by the yoruba tribe. Like God told the Israelites,"marry amongst your people to avoid bringing in wicked and ungodly people. Marry a yoruba man and you will bring in snake into the Igbo house. You are a very weak and immoral woman that's why you find love in their hands.

Please don't find my comment offensive but from an experience I personally believe most Yoruba men are more masculine, charming compared to most igbo men, that's just the norm. Then again, some igbo women prefer that 'player' attitude of Yorubas rather than the far too aggravating, family oriented lifestyle. Also Yorubas offers their wives unparalleled freedom to excel along with a flamboyant lifestyle that no other women of other tribes would ever experience. Did I mention that Yorubas are better in bed as well and would gladly spend millions in bride price wit out thinking twice? grin

I have couple igbo chicks I'm chatting with, one in I'm state and the other Enugu. Could end upaying with either soon

Ibo girls are more educated and exposed than their guys; they are not as tribalistic as their male counterparts.

So, Ibo guys - wise up and drop your bigotry.

He was referring to the insult yoruba women always use to refer to Igbo girls when we all know it's not true. some yoruba girls just say igbo women are bearded to console themselves. I once met a yoruba lady at a store here in the U.S she looked so masculine and had prominent jaws and was cock-eyed too. (People has always told me that I am beautiful. I'm not boasting about it because I didn't create myself the way I am, and I also happen to be Igbo) You know what this lady told me? She said I looked yoruba and that she looked Igbo! can you believe that? The funny thing is that most Igbos I have met look more like me. I bursted out laughing when she said that because it made no sense to me that she assumed Igbo girl SHOULD look less beautiful than yoruba girls to the extent of telling me she was supposed to be Igbo while I should be yoruba. in a lot of cases that I have witnessed, it has been the other way round.

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.
The good qualities in a lady that you seek for, cut across all tribe. you can get the good the bad and the ugly in every tribe.Finding a good wife is by luck irrespective of where she is from.

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.

Of course, I know. I have always said earlier that what Africans considered independence was a transition of the old method of exploitation (colonialism), to a new, self-sustaining, sophisticated method of permanent subjugation (imperialism). They replace the white colonial faces with black faces, whom they promise all the support and will ignore all their crimes if they continue sustaining all their exploitative structures that were built in the colonial era. So as countries were getting their so-called independence, they were ushered into western imperialistic ecosystems. So they became a member of the UN, and ICC, must use the dollar, imposed educational systems, their corporations coming in to control their resources, (eg Shell and Nigeria oil), and so on. In simple terms, think of how a butcher moves the cows from the farm to the slaughterhouse. In the cow's mind, he is free from the enclosed farm, but the slaughterhouse though modern and shiny with machines is worse than where they were coming from. You see the way the US froze billions of dollars of Afghanistan's foreign reserves, and as they did with Russia as well, that's exactly the fate that awaits any country that tries to pull off their imperialistic eco-system. While we are busy fighting each other like idiots, they are up there designing sophisticated systems to keep others down, and themselves on top. And this world order must go, or else, the global south will never develop. China refused to be part of that system, now look at them. Iran refused and was sanctioned to death, but they still thrive and built their own planes and so forth. Until we leave western dependence and walk our own part, no magic Peter Obi will perform. It's like putting a pilot in a ship, it can't do anything with it. How can the world be democratic when less than 15% of the world population (the west) controls everything? if this is not authoritarianism, then what is authoritarianism? But I always take responsibility, so I won't blame them much, I blame our ancestors for letting this degrade this badly, and makes it harder for current and future generation to solve. The rot is too much.

pansophist:
Josep Borell is a racist piece of shit. Sadly, this scum is a top EU politician, and calling the non-western countries jungle is a reincarnation of the mindset that led to colonialism and slavery pro-max. He still sees the world from a colonial lens, but his arrogance is needed since that's how he can cope in a changing world that is increasingly becoming multi-polar and catching up.

From 1991 to 2022, something that has never happened before in the history of the world happened, that thing is called unipolarism. After the collapse of the soviet union in 1991, China was dirt poor, imperial Japan has been defeated and occupied, the same with nazi Germany, India still recovering from British colonialism, Iran was in deep soup, and Africa was too backward to even be noticed.

The west, especially the US was the largest economy, and the strongest military power holds the world's reserved currency and enjoys an unparalleled political, economical, military, and soft power globally. The US was so strong that when it coughs, the world shivered. And then they showed themselves. Then the global bombing tour started, from Iraq to Syria, Venezuela to Yugoslavia, and Libya to Iran, to name a few.

Meanwhile, the Chinese who have suffered what they called a ''century of humiliation'' was in the background bidding their time, getting stronger, and building themselves up. The Chinese who lost territories the size of Nigeria x4, an empire nation that was torn apart by foreign powers, and saw what awaits you when you are weak, said to themselves, NEVER AGAIN.

Putin was then a KGB agent in Germany, young and smart, but silent and working his way up into the Kremlin. He witnessed how countries that used to be part of Russia have now become sworn enemies of Russia, and he dreamt of a stronger, independent, and sovereign Russia that occupies its rightful place on the international stage.

And February, 24th of 2022 will be remembered as the date when the world becomes clearly multipolar, after thirty years of failed unipolarism. The world has clearly understood the kind of monster the west is, and how they dream of a world where everyone is down, and only them up. Now, the way the international stage is set up, other stronger countries are now a deterrent, and they will never allow themselves to be weak again. NEVER.

It will not happen very fast, but the complete breakdown of western hegemony will happen faster than the time it took to build it. Destruction is faster than building, and destroying evil is even faster, especially when the destroyers are the victims of the very evil. I know the Russia-China alliances are cooking something, I suspect that they have set traps that will render all western imperialistic ecosystems useless.

From my calculations, the more the west throws out a country from its imperialistic systems, an alternative will be invented that will make that system useless. So for example, they threw Russia out of swift, but Russia created SPFS which they used to carry financial transactions between themselves and other countries.

If they threw China out of the UN for example, then a new UN that is fair will be invented, rendering the western controlled system useless. If you refuse to sell your tech, buy our oil, or ban us from visiting your countries (as they did with Russians), you will kill your industry and other regions will benefit financially from your market loss. One thing that kills a monopoly is competition, especially competent competition.

We live in very interesting times. Brace up, shit might get really bad before it gets better. Sha has proper wealth, not fiat money only, which can collapse. Have farmland, a water well, and livestock/poultry, these will keep you alive, not chains, iPhones, and paper money. Your survival is in your hands, not the government. Be vigilant, and use the internet to learn real stuff and how the world works, not just for social media and entertainment.

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
