Nwanne m nwanyi welcome o, I be Igbo married to Yoruba too, so I can give you few tips.

1. Make sure you kneel down with both legs touching the floor when you meet your MIL/FIL: for the first time. even if una dey for middle of road, . that is the first test, you know say dem they always talk say we no get respect. prove them wrong o.
2. offer to carry any load they have, if they come around. relieve your MIL of her handbag with face full of smiles o.
3. DO NOT REJECT ANY FOOD! make sure you chop finish lick plate, don't wait for MIL for serve you, do like say u dey follow am enter kitchen, if she allows you fine, if not insist on packing on washing plates.
4. make sure you call all your SIL/BIL Anti mi /Boda mi. whether them senior you or not.
5. don't go and be doing touching body with their son in their presence o . pretend you have not kissed, even with your protruding belle.)
6. don't be pressing phone when you people are talking, always keep a smile on your face, curtsy whenever you are thanking your MIL/FIL
7. don't be deceived by the plenty Iyawo wa they are calling you o, until una marry, you are not the wife yet o, stay humble.
8.Tell ur fiancé to tell you about them, what they like, dislike, learn how to greet them in their language, they value it a lot.
9.Commit every thing to Gods hands.
10. Go bearing gifts o ;. Jewellery and Lace for Mama Wa, Expensive stationary for Baba Wa

missade:
@bolseas your post is very insightful and reminds me of my bestie. She was circumcised too but enjoys kpekus.

But there are various degrees or severity of circumcision...some have the clit0ris cut off totally, while some have the lips of the vjay cut off all in a bid to make the girls less promiscuous.

However, I really believe that the mind plays abig part in kpekusing. So tipsyjules open up a bit and enjoy the pre-intimacy, let that last for as long as possible b4 the main deal.
There's a reason why u do not put much fight when tipsy...its cos alcohol has a way of freeing us of our inihibitions. You must enjoy kpekus oo

Yes oo I must enjoy kpekus oo.The only thing am waiting for is just to give birth because I heard after delivery my vjay will open and I won't have pains dunno how through that is.I am suspecting it's the sexual abuse I went through while growing up that's affecting me psychologically till now.Me I don't even have problem sef na hubby I dey pity for because at times I will just push him out halfway leaving him in pains.Good morning mamas in the house.

esof1:
Happy wedding anniversary fe..ddy27 . More fruitful and blessed years ahead.

Thanks dearie. God bless you

luscioustrish:


Thanks a lot
Good morning

Have you never met the inlaws before?

Im Igbo, DH is yoruba. One of the first times I met his aunties I hugged them The talk that followed eh you would think I slapped someborry. My DH sha gave them a stern warning to always remember our tribal differences. Since then my dear, I kneel (first then hug) to greet everyone even my own people so I dont make mistake.
So my own list,
-Always kneel down to greet.
-If you sabi the language, you are lucky. I understand but I dont speak..well except for greetings.
Make sure you always greet..Eku joko, Eku ile, Eku dide, Eku iyagbe
-I don't know if the igbos do this as well, but when you go visiting always offer to help in the kitchen. Do igbos do this Personally my kitchen is my private space, I usually dont like other people being in it so I find it awkward going into people's kitchens. But I have learnt to always offer to help.

Happy belated birthday captain Feddy27!!!!happy anniversary too!!!! more grace and happiness to your life and home. celebration continua!!!

Happy anniversary Feddy27,wishing u guys many more years of love and happiness.

Madam bella this your advice na sarcastic one o
abeg no put Sisi for trouble.

luscioustrish
Do all the above only if thats how you are!
BE YOURSELF!!!
Dont go and start what you cannot finish
If you know you can be kneeling down to greet your in-laws all
your married life then go ahead if not , you dont need that to
appear respectful.
The most important thing is Be Yourself
I cannot emphasize it enough, if you pretend
na' you go regret am!!!
And yes I married Yoruba and am not Yoruba
No Issues

Mamas we were robbed o! I am just getting over the shock sef, we woke up to see all our windows open. they used long sticks & parker to scoop up our phones and laptops from outside , they even stole my hubbys wallet from his trousers.
please if you live downstairs or in a bungalow, do not keep your valuables or handbags close to the windows, keep them in your wardrobes instead.
To think that me and dh sleep stark naked, who knows if these thieves live around us. I dunno if they used jazz cos my phone was just beside dh and they scooped it without us waking up. God protect your children o.
I am grateful to God I didn't see them, cos I wake up a lot at night to pee, who know? I might have fainted at the sight of them in action, or they might have harmed us. help us thank God o, that they didn't break in and attack us physically, or demand for more items.
I know that God would divinely replace all we lost in Jesus name. Amen.

Am happy to hear from you. You n.a.mama twins ooo so I can imagine how heavy you must be feeling if me with one is feeling this way. Kpele.
What was your prepregnacy weight? I used to weigh 62-65kg before pregnancy but current weight at 30 weeks is 82kg. I hear some mamas say they haven't added more than 5kg since beginning of pregnancy. ..you are tempted to ask what you are not doing right.

Back all the packable and prepare ooo..even at 36 weeks, they can come ooo. God will make it easy for you and us all. Me I don't even mind baby coming at 37weeks sef. .

Mama that being yourself something depends on the kind of family you marry into
it costs nothing to go on your knees and greet your inlaws
the first day I met my MIL she had just alighted from the car, by a major road
I went on my knees, she placed her hand on my head and started praying for me.
I had never done it before, but had to stoop to conquer,
it is their culture, you have to respect and adopt it cos its now your culture whether you like am or not
I hate amala, I hate ewedu, I hate goat meat, but I had to eat them all with feigned relish in their presence.
I see them at most twice a year, so I am ready to please them those few times to avoid wahala. before the go call meeting for my head

Happy belated birthday and happy wedding anniversary Feddy27.

More grace and blessings to your life and family.

God bless U

I thank God for you ooo. ..Robbery is the end thing in Uyo now ooo...jobless boys now resort to stealing anything they can steal...tv's and electronic gadgets, car batteries, phones, wallets etc. Just last week, the entered my Mum's area and stole more than 50car batteries from cars packed outside fenced compounds. ...If this economy doesn't improve, we expect more of this robbery incidences ooo...
May God provide for all you have lost.Thank God you didn't see them. The experience is always so tramautic

We sleep stark naked too , me and hubby....so I can relate to your experience. Kpele
