Are you ok? Someone made a personal decision. The mature thing to do is to respect his opinion.

quirus:


Ask Rude Boy (P. Okoye) why im leave Amaka and marry a luscious afonja beauty, and still dey blow musically despite your hatred? Ask him.

BluntBoy:


The grandmother of the baby said they always sent food through Ibrahim (the father of the baby).

So, how did she manage to starve to death?

fairfora:
Rubbish! There's no need to carry out any further investigations into what killed amaka. The evidence from the witnesses like mrs Ebunola who reported the case to the police before her death, the nwekes' neighbour and the facebook messages between the nurse friend and late amaka should suffice. Instead of beating her, the moment they noticed she was dating ibrahim, why not relocate her to the east to complete her education with close monitoring to prevent them from seeing eachother for a while, in case the parents were interested in her education. The Ibrahim's parents too ought to have advised the lovebirds to focus on their education and not allow the unexpected to happen with stern warning. I remember the day my mum caught me talking to a girl by the fence. She talked my head off that day. I became afraid so , I focused on my studies. This could have helped a lot. The nwekes also had the right to keep their daughter from being released to the Ibrahim's family because no bride price had been paid yet...you can't claim the goods you've not paid for.

That said, I remember when my cousin was dating a girl from the east too. It was like a tug of war. The parents especially the father was expressly opposed to it. The lady's sister even abused her for dating a poor guy who could hardly feed himself. As God would have it, the girl's granddad stood his ground, that he was in support of the union when they were ready, that nobody was born with money, we made it when we came here in this world so, they should stop disturbing them. After series of consultations, they reluctantly accepted and they got married. A few years later, they relocated to canada and now, the father is proud of her. The girl works with a renown IT firm over there and husband works with a robotic firm. He shuttles between South Korea and Canada due to his job schedule. Now, he's pushing for an establishment of the african branch. The company is considering either south africa, Kenya or Nigeria to serve african market. The younger sister who was abusing her of dating a poor yoruba boy is neither here nor there. Her husband she married beats her like hell. The mother had visited my cousin's wife in Canada 2ice to take care of their babies.

Parents should allow their children to marry whoever they like. All these old feud and traditions must stop. This is a new generation who weren't there when it all happened. We only were told the history. Everything we met here would end here. It's high time we began to see ourselves as one. My friend got married to an imo girl and today, they've been blessed with everything people yearn or aspire to have in life.

bimgo:
Obey your parent so that your days may be long, can you see now you short change your life for disobeying your parent because ok PENIS.

LZAA:

Las las u want igbo wife

awwfar:
a personal decision made out of hatred for people of your kind is not worthy to be respected

thatigboman:
All these yoruba people talking rubbish, a child born out of wedlock belongs to the girl's family in highland.

Waterview:
what is wrong in dating a yoruba man? useless parents.

ProWalker:


We are not one and we are not meant to live together, but you people couldn’t stay for one month in your villages before rushing back to mix and leave with those you so much hate and believed you shouldn’t be living with

You lot are sick

foleskay:

Oloshi. If we check now, you must be living in the southwest. We should have gone the Oba way that time.

tweakdude1:
The Parents made a mistake no doubt about that. Believe you me that the deceased parent have been warning her before time.

Folks, there are consequences you pay when you neglect warnings its a fact.

Let justice prevail

MartinsD12:

Not the grandmother but the mother of the guy that brings food after she must have starved, I can confidently tell you had it been the family of Ibrahim are rich such a thing would not have happened, they would have taken care of her even without her been in her parent's home

BluntBoy:


Bro, please, stop mentioning this starvation thing.

No matter how poor the parents are, she couldn't have starved to death. How come she starved to death and they didn't?

By drinking only water everyday without eating, you can stay alive for a month.

There are a lot of extremely poor people in Nigeria. About 80 million extremely poor Nigerians. Why don't we have cases of death by starvation?

Cantonese:


The problem is that the Yorubas never want to hear the name Igbo. This wrong attitude of the Yorubas and their oppressive nature to the Igbos must end.

The Igbos hardly can get accomodation in houses owned by Yoruba landlords. If they give out the houses they shoot up the rent.

Yorubas NEVER want to see their own daughters around Igbo men. Yorubas claim Igbos are cannibals, yet every day ritualists of the Yoruba race are caught everywhere.
A lot of Yorubas know nothing about Igbos. They get wrongly informed and straight away develop hatred for the Igbos.

This particular matter is very unfortunate and quite tragic. See they say "I no buy and I no sell no dey cause wahala". The moment the boy and his parents found the girl's parents did not like them, they should have gone their way. The boy's mum even said that she saw the girl as her "daughter in law". That's rubbish. They stoked trouble. Who knows if they charmed the girl too? (please excuse this line of thought). Looking at the boy's family they seemed have forced things. Now they quickly went to the police to report. Wetin concern them in the house of another man?

Abeggii.

MartinsD12:

The fact still remains they are poor and could not cater for her and pregnancy period

tungamaje:
When my son impregnated Amaka, I didn’t reject the pregnancy. I was already used to seeing them together. When it was clear to me that Ibrahim was the owner of the pregnancy, I started taking care of the girl as my daughter-in-law.

Madam, that's not how it is in Igbo culture. If you want to get a daughter-in-law, first approach the parents and pay dowries

ihimiray:
u mean ibos are the most tolerant... U smoke weed

ifiokjohn:
True but in this case the girl was never married to the boy and yes they have a right over the baby till the baby comes of age to choose

IAmStrange:
In a civilization and at a time when boy/girl proximity and relationship is not checked and controlled, what do you expect apart from there being events of illicit sexual explorations, unwanted pregnancies and bastard children?

This world needs a cure and that cure is Imes. Illegal sex has eaten deep into the world and what a calamity that is! It's indeed one of the greatest iniquities man can commit yet many societies take it with levity and the present civilization condones it to a great degree.

I'm not saying this to justify the actions of the mother for of course, hers is even a worse issue. The whole matter is just so complicated and ridden with "calamities" that only the "favoured" seem to realise.

Well, we rejoice upon knowing of the great cure that God is going to send to this world, to cure the societies that embrace it and rid them of the iniquities and problems they've put themselves into.

And indeed, that cure is Imes

Imes, we await your coming.

BluntBoy:


Then, if it is so easy to starve to death due to poverty, then why didn't they also starve to death?

Why didn't the baby also starve to death prior to his naming since the baby needs breast milk and a mother has to feed to breastfeed?

Starvation is out of the question.

missyblissy:


You need serious help. I pity the lady that ends up with you. Your thinking is myopic. Smh.
