Many people are looking at the literal implication of this issue while ignoring the spiritual implication. Having one family name upon marriage is a spiritual sign of unification in front of God and man, and a symbolic and spiritual act of the completion of the woman leaving her father's household and joining her husband, culminating in one new family.

And how about non-Christians? Or people in whose culture the woman keeps her name? They're not unified?
I'm taking what you wrote literally now: so what if the woman already moved out of her parents' house before getting married?

Still boils down to choice and you cannot force down your opinion on others with all these excuses/justifications. Not like women have not been hyphenating their names anyway so it's not a new concept.

Haha I actually find the back-and-forth tribal bashing funny sometimes. Like are these people for real?
And I thought I'm the one in the zoo.

Hehehe, poor UK people 
I didn't even know who the hell they were until the whole thing was making the news feeds including FB 

THE AMAKA:

thats what happens when you let the nairaland politics section corrupt you.

There's been a couple of people who claimed they were neutral until coming to Nairaland. I call BS on that 'cause I really don't see how an online forum can completely change you if you never had those feelings towards the group. I think Nairaland brings out the realness in people. It's all good though, even if nairaland is the only opportunity ppl have to be REAL.

LOL funny thread.
Interesting read. I kinda get everyone's point but to each his/her own. At the end of the day, people have their preferences.

Well, I guess Kobe ain't no Ray-ray!! 
Man, that was an intense game. Loved it!! 40 boy, I'm sure you're ecstatic about the win. I am too! LOL you know I'm all for any team against the Lakers.

Good job, Dallas!!

Shameless.

I don't know why y'all still bother with threads like this. Of course, MOST people on this section anyway would vote based on the ethnicity of the governor.

I'm not surprised this guy would open a thread like this.
Trivial issues is the death of my black people.

Man, people are going crazy about this Osama issue, like what the hell?
Crazy WP's rioting at school with air horns, fireworks and whatnot, . He might be dead but there's plenty more of him out there.

Blood_Shed:



Even in clubs and bars I've been to, I've never seen a Nigerian girl smoke, not once. I did take that into consideration you know, so don't insult me, please. Of course people drink at bars and clubs but I've never seen a Naija woman get absolutely wasted drunk before.

My post was def. to the person above me. And we're saying the same thing. . .mostly.

Brave Hear:


@ Chiogo: We have indeed brought it, the onus is on you guys to respond at your home court in Game 2, Please Durant is good but no where near a beast yet, he's still got some way to go before we start calling him one. he definitely has beastly instincts though, In as much as I hate L.A, there's no way OKC can get past them this year or even the Mavs should they make It, way too much Playoffs Inexperience in their team and I know I'll cause a stir here but I strongly believe Bulls wont make it to the finals. Atlanta can knock em out and if they do beat the Hawks then it'll be in 7 games. The Celtics or Heat will just rip em to shreds in the Eastern finals.

Ok, you got game 1 and we shall indeed respond. Yea I know Durant is young and still has some way to go but really not that much. He is a beast considering his age and what he's done so far, you don't have to do all he's done while nearing 30 to be a beast. That's the whole point And as for your predictions, we'll see, won't we?

REALITY101:

I hope you saw one of his silly and annoying attitudes on Celtic V Miami yesterday.


Lets go LAKERSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Coming from a Laker fan, that's pretty funny.

A-40:

By the way Brave Heart why are you so scared to bet on your team?? I said u guys aint reaching the Finals and u went mute or are you subliminally telling me your name is an oxymoron??

wicked!

Na wa oo for SA. All the flexing they did in the regular season
And the Celtics had the best first round record even though we weren't that good in the regular season. tehehehe. I love my team, man.

I'm happy to see OKC this far though, Durant is a beast and I kinda want them to face Chicago for the finals. LOL only if the celtics don't make it though.
As for the Heat, let's see if you can bring it. . .although I highly doubt it. Pshh

Donpuzo:

@Chigo. If you have a problem, i have the solution: Go f[i]uc[/i]k a mad man

Thanks but no. Knock yourself out though.

shotster50:

Hehehehe should I be afraid

Nope, nothing crazy.
I just keep posting below you on every thread lol.

I'll say both albums were iight. . .only like about 4 songs from each album.
Eminem actually switched it up a bit compared to his usual aggressive rap, I like W.T.P 

I'm stalking you, Shotster. . . 

seanet02:

It sucks to be ibo for Real! Apart from the kidnapping and importation of fake Paracetamols by ibos they are they most politically inept, indolent and steepid in the country. Sucks To be ibo for real!

hehe you musta just learned this "sucks to be ibo" phrase. Do your thing jare!!

Freewilly:


Yeah but Anambra is more beautifuler

Hehe 
I love Enugu and Anambra! They're both my home

Ok, you said no insults but seriously. . .

Argh Never mind.

LOL you'll get over it, I'm sure you have enough girls at UMD 

Great policy. . .

Huh. I don't do blind dates.

Took you this long. Wow!! And I thought you were just a 'tribalist' with strong opinions who feels the need to answer to every opposition.  

^^ Hehe, where else do people go to smoke and drink? ==> clubs, bars. .

@topic, umm I've seen grown women, mothers too back home who drink, mostly beer though. Smoking. . .maybe not.
Over here, anyone who parties(a lot) drinks. FACT. So, you'd have to go to such settings - parties, clubs, etc to see. But I'd say naija girls don't get piss-drunk as is the norm here, probably the culture thing. Some are just careful 'cause word gets around esp. in places with a high concentration of Nigerians.

lol

Donpuzo:

@mobysync. until u can prove to me that your d.u.m*b father is richer than Dbanj, u remain d most f*o*o*l*i*s*h 17 year old nairalander.

Well I am still waiting for our date. Do not keep me waiting. 

You must be mistaking me for someone else.

You Anambra Igbo are dominating in nature. 

But I have to be nice to Anambra Igbos, because  the Aro have communities within your state. Ajalli being one of them.

You mean high-achieving? then, yes.
Umm, Dunno anything about Aro and all that but whatever, we're accommodating

ekt_bear:

Congrats on advancing to the 2nd round btw! Didn't think ya'll would sweep. . . I thought it'd go to 6

I didn't either but I knew they had it in 'em. Who the heck are the knicks? hehehe

ekt_bear:

^-- Nothing tribal about me bumping this, or this thread. It just exposed someone who is bigoted even against his own people. Has nothing to do with igbos as a whole

LOL I made a general comment plus I think I already made my comments on the issue seeing as he's supposedly bigoted towards people of my state.
He can be a 'tribalist' too depending on how y'all use the word anyway.
