We were strictly warned not to marry Calabar ladies.

One of our uncle then, ran away with a calabar lady, leaving his wife and children behind. He was never heard from or seen.

I am certain, he must have died from old age by now.

I Want To Make This Clear. It Really Doesn't Matter Where Your Partner Is Coming From, Whether Or Not Your Parents Warned You About The Tribe. Someone's Tribe Has Nothing To Do With Their Behaviour. Just Pray And Ask God For A Better- Half, Someone Who Is Really The One For You. And Forget About Backward Mentality Of Parents.

Tribe has an impact on behaviour, to be honest

What somebody's culture teaches them to do has an impact on their behaviour but its just that there are other factors like education, environment, religion, individual personality, parentage, upbringing, financial status etc that offset the impact of cultural background

There must be some basis for stereotypes even if we dont really like them. To an extent its good to discuss them so we can see how others regard us

Its a good intention but its naive and somewhat disingenuous to say that it doesnt matter where somebody comes from, because we all know that it does

Yes, we are talking about modern times and until the end of time, people from different places will always behave differently

Its not racist to acknowledge that we in Nigeria behave differently from our descendants in the US, is it

As long as somebody asked this question and people are speaking relative to the discussion, the conversation around our experiences with different tribes and our cultural differences is okay.

It doesnt mean you should snub people in the basis of tribe but paying attention to how other people do things is an intelligent move so that you will know if you will be able to cope with it in future

Yes. She actually told me of a story. She was on her way back home from the U.S and the bus she boarded from Lagos back to her final destination in the SE region stopped at a junction for passengers to relax and refresh. She's actually based in Benin but, decided to stay with her aunt in one of the SE states. She said what she saw sent shock waves over her sexy body grin. In one of the restaurants, she saw people comfortably eating human body parts. angry She thought she was dreaming until she actually heard people make special orders for them. She got to her aunt's place and narrated her horrific ordeal. Her aunt laughed and told her it's very normal in that part of Igbo-land. She never went back to the SE again on her subsequent 9ja visits. undecided

See the below videolink. I once saw this on Nairaland sometime last year. angry

https://newsrescue.one/cannibalism-nigerians-speaking-igbo-cook-human-parts-video/

Perhaps, I've heard several of my Igbo friends that grew up in the SE not wanting to go back to there to settle due to this cannibalism thing. A good friend of mine that grew up in Owerri had to build a house there from parental pressure but never let his parents live there except for family gatherings. undecided

All this because someone on the thread is underage?

So if I hadn't enquired further after noticing he called himself a boy and mentioned mum and allow in the same sentence, you wouldn't be implying this crap?

You're evil, change your ways.

Any Nigerian man who is very family oriented should not marry. Focus on your family welfare and make them happy, dont bring in someone to disturb your family harmony.

Like I said we no like Una too. You guys are too judgemental! How can any sane Enugu person hate an Imo person? For what now? Are you guys better than Imo people in anyway? How can Nigeria ever be good with people like you? How can we have Igbo unity with closed minded fools like you? Ike unu gwuru! Tufiakwa!

Brossss.......that's harsh na. She is just saying what she heard or experienced. Everyone has such stereotypes.

For instance now, every Nigerian will be careful of going to South Africa even though there are lots of good people there.
Bro, not true necessarily. Some people like to say ill of others to make themselves feel better. I judge people individually and not lumping them all into one category. I have been treated with different degree of wickedness from friends and foes alike. I cannot just judge them based on their state of origin. State is an artificial creation.

I have read all the comments from first page to this one here and all I see is my parents say this and that. This is modern age and so many things has change yet some people still take it upon themselves to still leave in the past. How can your parents decide who a grown up woman or man should marry? All tribes have wicked people for sure and no tribe is excluded from bad behaviours. Your experienced with people you meet should determine who you marry not your parents or someone else. That person who is good to your parent is worst to another person in the same clan and conditions. What is racism if not what I just read all through these comments. Hmmmm

Right from my birth I have heard the saying you leave a snake and kill an mbaise person.haba what is evil than this? And some people believe this. Some even say igbos eat people..lolz..another say Yorubas don't take care of their wives. Another says ilaje people are wicked. Edo people are fetish and diabolical.hahha. what more have I not heard. I have dealt with different tribes to know that there are good and bad people from each tribes. So my parents dare not even tell me where to marry from. They should be concern about my happiness, that's all. The worst part is that most of these parents claims to be Christians and Muslims and still hold this beliefs. Yet they claim to know God and serve but never heed his words when it comes to certain things...simply hypocrisy.. What a selfish parents most of us have

Soo l can only marry from my tribe, l'm currently engaged we are both from the same Village God will always give us our heart desires if be seek Him diligently

It is Ur state girls that are olosho. Anambra ladies are business minded, super intelligent, homely, always beautiful with good height, that is why most Anambra men prefer marrying their women. When U want to intimidate them,they can dare you.
You are the one spewing trash here, I know 5 imo state guys in oil company that refused marrying their imo state girls before they were transferred to work abroad.
grin grin this is what i am talking about. You had to attack all his people because he did the stereotype thing. Imagine calling all anambra people oloshos even when he is yet to meet one tenth of their population. People are full of surprises..
