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!


easy before you start considering other species sef to marry. undecided

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 .

Nah . . .Basically, my number one reason for inter tribal marriages is preserving a person's rich cultural heritage. Children born out of inter-ethnic unions tend to be confused, and this will just lead to the dying out of a tribe.

the typical Anambra babe

Don't get me wrong, I'm not discriminating. I love every tribe. i think everyone of them is unique in their own way. i can date any tribe, even Hausa, but i can't marry them for the sake of breeding confused children that would reply when asked, "where are from?" "well my mum is from so and so and my dad is from so so and so" They should simply say "Igbo" and they would be brought up to speak the language fluently and pass it on to their children. Our tribe mustn't die out for the sake of LOVE

Nigerians, Will you marry someone outside your tribe or ethnic group. If not, why?

Funmi. . has the Igbo boy you proposed to dumped you? Just asking. undecided tongue
Re: Will You Marry Someone Outside Your Tribe Or Ethnic Group? by kennygeorg: 8:57am On Jun 25, 2011
married is not about ethnics, there is know descrimination in married,t the mentality of nigerian you most marry from you tribe or ethnics group, if you look at obama his father from kenya and married to white American now he is world no 1 citizen, if you look at ibb in nigerian his wife was an igbo ty danjuma his wife from east, so there is know descriminination in love the most important things is to pray that God should give you a good wife no matter the tribe she come from.
Re: Will You Marry Someone Outside Your Tribe Or Ethnic Group? by bamosagie(m): 8:59am On Jun 25, 2011
well, I would marry anyone that I love, problem is the girl(from Imo state) that I love told me from day one that her father warned her not to bring home any man from 1, Benin 2, Edo 3, Oguta 4, Abriba and other place i cant remember, well I am from Benin city, Edo state.
so I guess I may still have to go look for love where the relationship wont be doomed before it starts, my home town.

Probably no. grin
Re: Will You Marry Someone Outside Your Tribe Or Ethnic Group? by Nayah(f): 10:43am On Jun 25, 2011
Kenny I definetely agree with you marriage it's about feelings and love not tribes, but yes I can understand people who can think getting married to someone who' s from the same "tribe" or "country" contributes to share some values or common points but it's not automatic

You can be very happy with someone from another country and discover another culture which leads to be an open minded person, actually I prefer marry my African ( sub saharian) brother more than the others because of my tastes but as for the country I don't really know a cameroonian yes that could be very good but if a Nigerian, Ivorian or whatever makes me happy why not even though I know I'd fight with my father lol grin

Some people do get married under false pretenses. Not everybody have an honest marriage.


Obama was raised by his white mother while his African father was in Kenya pretty much most of his life. He didn't grow up in a typical marital household. Not saying there is anything wrong with marrying who you wants but please let stop acting like we have to reward those who step out of their tribe or ethnicity.

It is not rocket science. Seriously. undecided People kills me thinking oh I married an Indian look at me! Whoopsie dee do! Your ability to marry someone of another group doesn't have anything to do with your ability to love them properly.
