| Yoruba Vs Igbo Marriage: The Best? by area74: 7:04pm On Aug 22, 2020 |
During my NYSC, I met a very beautiful Igbo lady and we were flowing very well as friends. I was very happy and eventually asked her out but she declined and got me worried with so much disappointment till we passed out. We both moved to our different states Lagos and Anambra. We are both married now but she revealed to me after many years that she didn't accept my proposal then because she knew there would be no future in the relationship. It would be practically impossible for her parents to accept me being a yoruba man and a Muslim. Watching this movie on Netflix : Meet The In-laws got me laughing and reminisce on who would have been my wife today. Truly, I still don't understand why there is always this unspoken tension between the yorubas and igbos almost in all fronts. The 2 tribes are not perfect yet we both have some outstanding qualities that if well utilized, we can achieve so much in our country. My employer is an Igbo man but a pan Nigerian. He wants you on board as long as you can deliver irrespective of where you come from. We have a lot of yoruba professionals and other tribes in our company and it is the main reason we are so distinctive in every sectors that we are operating in. Therefore, I think if the 2 tribes can blend very well via marriages. We will be having generations of intelligent, sophisticated, innovative, industrious and entrepreneurial kids that will greatly develop this country. What is your opinion? 2 Likes |

Bro, kudos to u. Yorubas and igbos are the two tribes the powers that be dont ever want to be united for obvious reasons. Divide and rule. The two tribe has so much to gain united. 1 Like |

My course mate married an Igbo man and she's a Yoruba girl. These tribes have a lot to gain if they should unite and intermarry |

Area74, Only Anambra and Ekiti/Ondo has that problem in the whole of Nigeria. Ogun and Ebonyi (and maybe Kwara) are the most liberal. 1 Like |

We can still love these people from a distance but hitching-up with one of them is not the one. |

area74:Well, my brother I'm happy for this topic and I think this is the best thread on Nairaland aside business and investment sections. Back to the topic, my brother let me be honest with u. This has being in an average Igbo and yoruba person, we hv observations on ourselves. I was the first non yoruba to manage a particular high institution senior staff club here in yoruba land. Initially it was tough bcs of their observations towards Igbos. Then we had some igbo customers, when they got to know that I'm an igbo manager, they all started coming every now and then and they will always tell me to watch my back bcs of their observations towards West. U see these two tribes West and East, they are very good in every ramifications of life but that observations towards each other will never ever allow us to come together. Let me Gist u a bit. Their is a particular Yoruba woman that I used to patronise, so when I started patronising her, I started knowing her family. So like play like play I started getting used to her daughter. Meanwhile her daughter has a boyfriend which I even I know the very guy, yhe boyfriend is a Yoruba too. But do u know the irony of all this stuffs, the mama yoruba doesn't like the bobo, Infact she calls me my son, even if I wants to see her daughter in the night, mama yoruba would even tell the daughter that I'm here to see but the yoruba boyfriend, mama doesn't like the yoruba bobo. That's it. U see I have worked and mingled with every tribes in Nigeria. Do u know that my hommies are all Yoruba. Even my boss is a Yoruba and that one is so Liberal but has his own observations too. This is in an average West and East. |

Probz:That means u don't know much about Owerri and beside u are not from Imo State. 3 zones in Imo, Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe And if u come to Owerri u still have to differentiate it. Their is Owerri Nchi Ise and other places. Do u know that Mbaise is under Owerri? Ngor Okpala, if u want to be specify u mention a particular area. Was it not in the other thread that one idiot has shouting igbos this igbos that, but by the time I gave him details of what he doesn't know, he became queit. Mind u I'm not an Owerri guy but I like being objective |

brownemmanuel43: I’m not a lone wolf in that my assertion and you know that very well. It’s subjective, idealistic political correctness that will have you believe (at least on the face of it) that we’re all exactly alike and that each respective ethnic/tribal grouping has the same amount of good and bad people alike. Objectivity, on the other hand, will open your eyes to the maladaptive vices of most Imo state people in general and how the females no be good marriage material cha-cha. The majority of Owere girls fall into prostitution almost by necessity. That’s a hard fact no matter how you spin it, no matter how non-biased and politically-correct you want to appear. Objectivity doesn’t always mean being neutral. Sometimes it means realistically entertaining strong opinions about one side because in reality not everything’s neutral and middle-ground. The majority of typical Owere na Mbaise people are demons and the females (from the Owere axis at least) tend to be arrant whores. That’s a fact. 1 Like |
