No! It is a lot of hard work to get accepted by your in-laws who tend to fault all your moves.

I’m a product of two different tribes myself, so could do so if I found someone worthy.

Moreover, my parents are still together, despite all the drama.

Tope do you mean Yoruba men marry outside their tribe more than others or they dont?


yoruba men cant be matched when it comes to dating outside their tribe.

same applies to their marriages- they will marry you in a heartbeat though hanging on after the marriage might not be so easy.
Re: Will You Marry Someone Outside Your Tribe Or Ethnic Group? by opribo(m): 2:38pm On Jun 24, 2011
All I can say here is that I remember one of our brothers who married a yoruba girl, during the time of oso Abiola they came and collected their daughter and the only child that the guy cannot run to the east with their daughter. There excuse was that if action starts we may use their daughter as sacrifice.
So with that in mind i am always weary when someone says he is marrying outside his or her tribe. There is a bonding that go along with have the same ethnic orientation.

My marraige to another tribe would depend on so many factors, it is do-able, but would be very tough.
Re: Will You Marry Someone Outside Your Tribe Or Ethnic Group? by graychuks(m): 3:11pm On Jun 24, 2011
One thing is certain here,a yoruba man may want to marry an igbo lady but still maintains a yoruba iyale.simple i have seen many of those men.But i wonder! America being as large and homogenius as they are still do not discriminate about marriage.but nigerians! Ah! Too tribalistic omg! We are NIGERIANS
Re: Will You Marry Someone Outside Your Tribe Or Ethnic Group? by Amya(f): 3:15pm On Jun 24, 2011
Nah i can't marry anyone's that not Igbo. I can't even marry an Igbo unless he's from Anambra, and even then, there are still some town i wouldn't marry from.

Yes that's fair enough and you're probably right but there is nothing wrong with marrying outside your "tribe". If anything, it only means we've progressed beyond all the "I must marry from my village" sentiments as compared to our fellow country men- don't it?

The world is a global village now guys- I would marry someone outside my tribe- Hell, I would even marry someone outside my continent if everything is right!
Re: Will You Marry Someone Outside Your Tribe Or Ethnic Group? by Nobody: 3:33pm On Jun 24, 2011
considering that I am bi-ethnic myself, i would be a hypocrite to oppose inter-ethnic mixing.

And if nobody comes withing the area you haved maped out , i presume you will remain single all your life "abi u go find alternative"
i see nothing wrong marrying from either your ethnic group or outside moreover, what one i looking for is what is in the inside and not the pyhsical.
my dad is from Kogi while my mum is Imo and i couldnt have wished for any better parents.

This is why you get so many Anambra girls marrying late and marrying often below them, read traders or in arranged or parceled marriages. I can marry from anywhere .

Re: Will You Marry Someone Outside Your Tribe Or Ethnic Group? by Elpieda: 4:44pm On Jun 24, 2011
Nigerians just limit themselves  unecessarily by saying I cant marry this or I cant marry that,  How many of you that are married to people from your state, or town or village or even street have happy marriagesMarrying someone from your tribe or ethnicity or what not is not the ingredient to having a long lasting marriage. My uncle is Yoruba, married to a Greek Woman for over 30 years, Has one of the happiest marriages I have ever seen. They still flirt with each other and mess around with each other even at their old age and yet compared to all his siblings who strictly married YORUBA, he has the best marriage so far, The rest either got divorced or one thing or the other.

Now I am not saying this is a general statistic but I am just trying to say that there are more important things to look out for in an individual when the issue of marriage is concerned. Dont write anyone off simply because he is not from your ethnic group or because it wont please mummy and daddy so you wont do it or because you have a strong desire to conform to societal demands consciously or unconsciously

Look when it comes to marriage, I will marry whoever I want ONLY IN THE LORD.
