To show you theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

I guess it means they also have a first class ticket to heaven also too right?

Why anyone would get this type of tattoos is beyond me

I thought Adam Brody was just someone's Id that was made
to piss people off.

Whatever happened to the good ol days of simplicity?
When things were so simple and men were Ernest?
To woo and go after something they want?
Now all I hear are tales of rubbish-ness and half a.s.s-ness
I'd joined the Abbey either way so I am immune to it

Doing good coulda been better but I'm here

Trouble maker. . You've come today?
How are ya?

Not in the least bit interested.

Onlytruth:
I'm rolling on that floor. . 

From your post I assume you are a man, and I suspect you have already committed yourself to something contrary to popular wisdom here.
As an Igboman, believe me, I know there are one million reasons why an Igbo man/woman may be desperate to marry from another tribe. When it comes to marriage, Igbos are VERY SERIOUS about it.

They would dig up the last information about your family (up to tenth generation if need be ) before they give you their daughter in marriage or allow their son to marry you. They will dig and dig and dig . . . unless of course your family is clean.
That is just one reason. There are others. So in that sense, it is VERY CONVENIENT to marry from another tribe. Just don't come here telling us that tribe doesn't matter in Nigeria.

I had to do this strong rebuttal because some innocent kid might actually take your advise and end up regretting his/her life later. The two women above gave very wise reasons why this is a BAD idea. So, please let it be. 

And this is the part where I leave you to your close mindedness and keep it moving.
I laugh at strong rebuttal.LOL

Just watched Letters to Juliet. How sweet!
*sniff sniff*

Elliptical and circuit. An 1hr and half and I am good to go

I hope to God Cher never gave her a hug!
I didn't watch the Vma's because I was out. I heard Taylor bust into tears over
something that happened a year ago! Twitter was blowing up last night because they were bashing her

PETA should go and die! God gave us animals to eat and Lord over! What is their wahala sef?
I am in no way in support of unwarranted animal cruelty

My stomach turns every time I see that photo. That is disgusting

^^ He needs to give me whatever that chic has given him to that i can put it
some guys tea. I know I need a bit of that

Oh wow

tpiah:
you're quite right but the major thing here is what happens after the honeymoon phase when all eyes have cleared and you see your partner's bedhead every morning.

that hitherto beautiful lady who once stopped traffic, and now you get to see her before the tweezers, soap, and makeup have done their work. The handsome guy all the other women were fighting over- now his snoring no dey gree you sleep again.

after the kids nko? To even comb hair na by appointment.

when the rose tinted glasses are off, that's when the tribal issues begin, and most experienced naijas know this.

that's when you start noticing attractive people from your hitherto boring tribe. And noticing all the stuff you cant stand about the other tribe.

not that couples from the same place wont have problems, but in mixed marriages the issues might get hinged on tribe, that's all.

These are the realities in life and should be expected. The same way a woman should be expected to
gain some weight after having children . . that is the same way a man will do things that will annoy you as well.
These are non-issues and like I said before( who cares about tweezing et all?). . Marrying from the same tribe doesn't guarantee a successful marriage
and those that have married from other tribes aren't all going through hell by their in laws. Some families are nice and accepting( This is key in any tribe)
Basically it is all a matter of choice and we all tend to think some things are taken care of because you married your own? Lai Lai!
We are Nigerians need to be a bit more open minded about a whole lot of things . . Till will do . . It is foolery to ever say One Nigeria
because that in itself doesn't exist.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=229963.msg6749147#msg6749147 date=1284432659]I'd like to believe that my age has something to do with it, but even the elders on this thread have echoed my opinion.
So it's safe to say that it all boils down to one's preference.
I doubt my preference would change.

In due time, I hope to get the right fit with a Yoruba man. . . . But like I said before, I wouldnt stick with him IF he mistreats me just because he's Yoruba. I'd drop it like it's hot.[/quote]Good for you.

Mr Suede and Ludget. Ludget has a blog so peep if you like his style

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=229963.msg6749049#msg6749049 date=1284428667]And that is exactly what I'm not looking for lol.

You're right. . . I shouldnt restrict myself when the time comes, but I prefer to. But I would def prefer to settle with a Yoruba man, Ekiti man is going to far. Who wants unnecessary agidi?

LOL @ Love. I think love is just the characteristics of a man [human being] packaged together, NOT just one thing. Ch. such as devotion, trust, loyalty respect etc.
There might be a Yoruba man out there that has all these characteristics you mentioned above. . . . or not. Time will tell. [ Lol what am I saying sef? I'm just 27, still young and blossoming][/quote]Love isn't all it takes . . It has to come with all you've listed above and many more
Like you rightly said. . You are mega young and as time goes on . . You'll come to understand that
getting the right fit is more important than anything else.

Una just dey thief foto from internet
Cook the food yourself and post it here. What kinda kitchen is this where the
Madam doesn't even cook?

Yes, but I didnt say that one should avoid inter-tribal marriages because of factors like cheating or how he/she treats you.

If anyone cares for same culture, proximity of language, tradition, then inter-tribal is not for them. I cant be speaking English in my own own nau, I dont want to give an explanation every time I do something "abnormal".

Point is, I love my culture, language, tradition, people, etc. . . . and I'll like to share that with a man with the same foundation. My preference.[/quote]I understand you well BUT compatibility isn't always about speaking the same language. . In the sense that the said man
could be Nigerian but a different tribe. Don't withhold yourself because you are looking for Ekiti man. . Go and ask some of the people
who sat down waiting what happened to them. A man who loves you to bits will do everything to get on with you and your traditions albeit a tad different
We are Nigerians and so our cultures are very similar. It is what it is.

^^ Oh Sheesh FLG
You categorical said people should avoid inter tribal marriages.

LOL@ Arugungun. Do they still have that fishing festival?

Men are men. They will cheat and do all sorts if they want to. These things aren't limited to tribe
or anything. Igbo men like to make noise about everything. . A good man is a good man and so is a wonderful family.
These things aren't tribe related. You all should be praying for God to give each and every one of you a man/woman
who will love, care and take care of you. . Also a family that will be nice enough to know their boundaries.
That is all. All the other talk here is rubbish and tribalistic because at the end of the day a man that will treat you like crap
will regardless of where he is from!

^^ Filet Mignon anyone?
She has totally lost it!

Ebonyeyes:
Yeye girl You want me to cut my hair but are reluctant to cut yours huh?

Do you mean like the short cut will be high in front and faded at the back? kinda like Grace Jones in the 80s? I kinda dig that.

Yup! Just like that. Nah I am not reluctant. . It is something I will do for sure! Just waiting till later
Plus I'd put two lines on each side I can totally picture it. . it will be so RAD!

^^^ You are talking about Morocco and Algeria because these women have
"Caucasian" like features. When we compare can we do that with
Women from Cameroon, Ghana, Chad and other countries that don't
have the Caucasian-like attributes/looks

[quote author=Mad_Max link=topic=481139.msg6717430#msg6717430 date=1283910591]I hate the kind of psychological vampirism where a parent thinks he's done you a favour putting you thru school, and waits to recoup his 'investment'. [/quote]Sadly some Nigerian families are like this. It is very sad! Parents push and shove their children
when and how they seem fit.
