I'm rolling on that floor. .  grin

From your post I assume you are a man, and I suspect you have already committed yourself to something contrary to popular wisdom here. undecided
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 undecided) 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.  cool
And this is the part where I leave you to your close mindedness and keep it moving.
I laugh at strong rebuttal.LOL grin grin grin

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.

Ileke-IdI:
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.
Good for you.

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]
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.

grin grin grin

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.
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.

CultureRe: Yoruba Boys And Igbo Gals by chika98: 2:09am On Sep 14, 2010
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!

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'.
Sadly some Nigerian families are like this. It is very sad! Parents push and shove their children
when and how they seem fit.
