Marriage is a blessed union between an adult male and female.But many people tend to prefer to marry from their state,tribe or region for many reasons like language barrier and other cultural differences.
We have seen cases where parents reject people from other tribes from marrying their children,
We have also see many successful marriages where the man and the woman are from different tribe, state or region.Parents should always give their blessings to their children marriage's, no matter the tribe involved.

Throughout human history parental blessings for marriage has always been conditional. Make we hear word elder. I won't give my blessings unconditionally

If your child love the partner so much and agree to marry,so, you as a father will now impose your condition.

If your blessings must come with condition, are they actually blessings or just mere statement to satisfy your ego?

The disadvantage outweighs the advantage.

That is all I can say.

To avoid giving birth to Omo ale... Never marry a Yoruba man if you are not Yoruba especially igbo

It depends on how educated and enlightened the parents and siblings of both spouses are. If they're not, I wouldn't advise it.

It's not your business actually. I don't recall mentioning the conditionality of my Blessings

is better you marry from your tribe if possible in your local government. You have a lot of advantages. Think about divorce and a situation you spouse ran away with your children. You can easily knock on his or her door. Remember as the love de sweet today it may get sawa tomorrow

The level of exposure matters a lot to intending couples and their parents....
Both forms of marriage has their pros and cons ....
But know this that, what makes or breaks a relationship/marriage is BIGGER THAN TRIBE, CULTURE AND/TRADITION.... INSTEAD IT IS CHARACTER AND BEHAVIOUR....
If you like marry your village head, or the best in another village, if the person has a bad character, the whole marriage will scatter....

Correct, but conflicts in marriages involving people of same tribe and culture are easily resolved.

are you saying there problems specific for different tribes ? naturally no the rest is just beliefs or accepted norms within people who share those norms

if take away those beliefs or norms, you still have problems and they can be solved or be there regardless of your tribe eg money problems, drinking problem, a lair, being childless, who to solve or manage those you needs a character and behaviour to solve such issues

mostly its tribal ot cultural things which usually makes us fail in life, eg u cant question elders u blindly follow, u are not allowed to go against what is set as standards etc

you nailed it

character and behaviour is what makes the difference

If it's character and behavior that holds or break marriages,does some characters and behaviors not tied to every ethnic groups in Nigeria,be it negative or positive.

50% of marital problems are resolved when you marry from your tribe.

There is s reason for this.

Lols... There are hardly two thesame type of conflicts... So because of the varieties of conflicts, there are different ways to resolve them.. and irrespective of thesame tribe and culture, they can still be solved, of unsolved.......
Haven't you seen a case of two blood brothers who ended up enemies for life, and also two best friends of different culture ended up being "Pals" for life .....
So like I said earlier, behaviour matters, even in this conflict issue... Because there are some people who are the unforgiving type...lol.. heaven must fall before they forgive you, irrespective of where you come from oooo....

Nigeria as a whole is a community... Now, it's left for her people to behave well or not...
Marriage is not a child's play!!!!!
It's not a place where you mold your type of man or woman....
You are tying yourself to someone already moulded, and this person comes with his or her specific behaviour...
So now it's all about understanding and the willingness to forgive... If you can't cope or forgive then just divorce the person... Simple
No need to be displaying irresponsible behaviour or attitude or be aggressive....
That's why aside financial aspect, Psychological Maturity is very important in marriage.... Coz there are some certain marital issues that are bigger than what Money or Sex can solve.....

yes some character and behaviour are tied to every ethnic groups as they share commons norms

usually an outsider is able to see negatives much easier, becoz s/he is not bound by boundaries of the group is looking at

Then positives yes can be seen by both those practising and those watching from outside
