redsun:

With your myopic views,you tend to the see planet in this case as a physical entity as defined by oyinbos.Rather than concept,where people project into the future and make rational sense things for their own efficient survival and that of their fellow human species.

Nigeria as a system is fundamentaly zombie like.The core wheel that spins the society in nigeria is running on the batteries of fundamental ignorance and bigotory.

So, your problem is with oyinbos eh?
I pity your life!
Have a good morning over there!

Biggest failure/mistake?
Getting into politics.

redsun: Such as university students that are not allowed to watch videos and entertainment of the choice."Responsible Adults" that are being subjected to childhood in the name of dogmas.Adults that are not allowed reason,yet they want them to be theorists and thinkers.

Common think man,use you head and wander around.

What planet do these occur?

redsun:

They tend to have preconcieved and unverifiable answers to disciplines they are about to embark on,therefore leaving no rooms for observations,researches,arguments,experiments,theories,practical understandings and solutions.

Like zombies.

From whose pespective are drawing your conclusion? I think you are up to no good else, the article did not in any way used Igbo as the case study, it only use Nnewi as his reference point and to be honest, it's just his personal opinion and does not hold for all.

If your intentions are sincere, you'd contribute with an open mind without bringing insults to your personality on here else, you are not worthy of my internet time.

What article?
Igbo culture was used specifically and generally. . . .And I quote again!

[b][size=20pt]Marriage in Igboland[/size] is a process whereby a man sees a woman, makes the judgement that she is "fertile" (to bear children) and "strong" (to produce strong children who would work in the farm), and then goes to ask for her hand in marriage. He doesn't even go to ask the woman, he asks her father (though she would eventually decide whether to accept or stay in the marriage)! later. If she accepts the offer, judging by the man's appearance of "strength" (to protect her and and her children), and richness (to ensure that she and her children did not starve), she followed him home to HIS house after he has PAID her brideprice, to become his wife. From the moment the man paid the bride price, the woman became his, and EVERY of her children born inside that marriage automatically became his, whether he impregnated her or not (Nnewi culture).

The marriage was not based on "love" (a intimate affiliation between two people, which is often demonstrated through canal or conjugatory consummation). [size=20pt]Marriage in Igbo culture is not based on that love.[/size] FACT. It is mainly an economic decision in the true sense of the word. Yes, it comes with what I call "perks" (read se.x ) but it was never THE deciding factor in the process of chosing a spouse, both for the man and the woman. It was a movement upward in the socio-cultural-economic ladder. It was NEVER a partnership of equals, because the one (the man) PAID, for the other (the woman) for her fertility. If she came into the marriage, and failed to reproduce, the man usually married another wife. Simple. Notice that it was always the woman's "fault", because she really didn't always have to become pregnant by her husband (secret fact). She only needed to get pregnant, and the man gets a child. Simple. That is why she was blamed when she failed to produce a child. Modern Igbo have lost the history behind this practice, and it has led to all kinds of problems. The Igbo of Nnewi leapfrogged paternity test! It was (and still is) a wasted and really unnecessary exercise. That is why fatherlessness was completely alien to Igbo culture. Everybody had a PRESENT father. FACT.[/b]

What do you mean up to no good?
Did I start the thread?

I AM INCENSED BY IT!

NL IGBO women carefully avoiding this thread!
For good reason!
Mgbo. . . no love for IGBOLAND. . .only 'breeding' like fowls for a man's pleasure?
Not even 'CAVE DWELLERS' would confess such without trying to remedy this 'genetic defect'!
No wonder domestic violence rules IGBO MARRIAGES especially!

Still on 'Igbo Marriages'. . .since the thread is about 'IGBO MARRIAGES' not 'A Perspective' of same-sex marriage!

[b]Women's perception of partner violence in a rural Igbo community.

Abstract

Partner violence is a serious public health problem affecting mostly women. This qualitative study assessed the perceptions of rural Igbo women of Nigeria of intimate partner violence. Information was elicited using in-depth interviews and focus group discussion. Women of childbearing age were selected from the various women age grades in Ozubulu, Anambra State, Nigeria.

[size=20pt]Findings revealed that the women generally condone and are complacent with intimate partner violence, perceiving it as cultural and religious norms.[/size]



[size=20pt]The women felt that reprimands, beating and forced sex affecting their physical, mental and reproductive wellbeing are normal in marriage. [/size] They did not support reporting such cases to the police or divorcing the man, they would rather prefer reporting to family members.

They felt that exiting the marriage would not gain the support of family members. They also expressed fear for the uncertainty in re-marrying, means of livelihood after re-marriage, social stigmatisation, and concern for their children.[/size][/color]Socio-cultural norms and structures favour partner violence in Anambra State of Nigeria. There is a need for advocacy and concerted action that will involve the educational, health, civil and religious sectors of the society to evolve sustainable structures that will empower women and provide support to enable victims to react appropriately to violence.

Desperado lives of 'MGBEKES AND MGBAFORS' PSYCHOS!!!
Talking about infertility. . .while breeding GENERATIONAL loveless animals to repeat the vicious cycles? TWA!
BARRENESS IS BETTER THAN BREEEEEEEEEEEDING ANIMALS! OR ABORTION KPA-KPA!

IF LOVE IS NOT THE BASIS OF MARRIAGE. . . WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING THE YOUR KIDS?
How to beat their wives and raise 'emotional' dish-rags as USSSSSSSSSSSLESS WOMEN?
Tufiakwa!

No wonder 'MGBEKES' worship blokoses instead of developing brains to be respected enough to breed decent human beings as children! Only to come online to start tiarrring pant and 'brazzy' for some USSSSSSSSELESS MOFOS! Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!!!

Standing5: Please read again and do it carefully this time around. The original topic has not be deviate from a single degree. I think he has proven that marriage can be right or wrong depending on the culture the society adopts.

Marriage in Igboland has absolutely nothing to dow with 'perspectives of same-sex marriages' since we have HOMOSEXUALS ALL OVER IGBOLAND. . .MARRIED OR NOT!
Thank you.
Perspectives should stick to the said subject matter!
Thank you!

Someone needs to go get some composure. . .

Finally. . .someone has the courage to reply after the initial SHOCKER!
I believe the first 3 posters are still somewhat traumatized by this highly nauseating 'perspective' of marriage in Igboland!
I have gone from shock to anger. . . now I am laughing to tears!

Onlytruth: Since the debate surrounding this issue started, I have refrained from even reading opinions posted on this site in threads addressing the topic. I deliberately avoided reading them because I don't want to be influenced by them in any way. I wanted to reach personal conclusions after long periods of reflection and thorough thinking. I did not (and still do not) want to be influenced by the "chatter".

To address the issue, I have to tie it down to the bottomline argument -IS BANNING OR REJECTION OF SAME SEX MARRIAGE DISCRIMINATORY?

I wish to state now that my opinion on this is not an attempt to tip the scale in either direction, but rather an attempt to embrace the truth, no matter whose ox may be gored at the end.

So, here we go!. . . .BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. . . . !

Thread derailed beyond this point!

WHAT AN INSULT!
No wonder Igbo men kill their wives at the sight of an empty pot of soup!
If you were not taught to love yourselves how can you 'look by appearance' to judge who is fertile or strong enough to 'protect a woman and her chidren. . . ILLEGITIMATE OR NOT?

This part belongs in "UNA" 'IGBO KWENU' section. . . neither politics nor family!

OR FEEL FREE TO USE DEAR DAIRIES. . .FOR 'YOUR VIEWS'!
Happy holidays!

Hmmm! See wetin 'educated' pOOrson dey write for public?
Any exposed pOOrson knows in this day and age that MEN ARE ALSO INFERTILE!
To put the entire blame on women can only come from IGBOLAND!
No wonder women phock around to get SHARIA-CATHOLIC HOLY-NWENJE babies from MAIGIDAS AND DRIVERS TO SAVE THEMSELVES FROM THE SHAME OF BARRENESS!
Not even stopping to think the man may have some EMPTY KOLANUTS FULL OF COBWEBS INSTEAD OF SPE-RM CELLS!!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styl-Plus

The group Styl-Plus (originally STYL) is a Nigerian gospel and pop musical group / quartet. The founding members were Shifi Emoefe, Tunde Akinsanmi, Yemi Akinwonmi, and Lanre Faneyi and the name STYL was adopted by combining the first letters of the first names of the founding members.

In 1999 Lanre Faneyi died, and Zeal Onyecheme joined the group. The name of the quartet turned to Styl-Plus, the Plus being used to indicate the new addition to the group. In 2002 Yemi Akinwonmi left the group and the musical band became a trio without adding a new member. Starting 2003, the group had its own record label STYL-PLUS
