Dress in appropriate clothes. Be decent enough. I'm sure you know what decent means. You are in Africa.

Yh I live in Africa. Gud point lol. My own family however tho are very free or should I say lenient wen it comes to clothing. I wear shorts and black like all the time. As you know for Africa black is for like funerals that's the general mentality but it's my favourite colour n I wear it everyday. So I'm not quite so used to doing things African. I have to go back to basics. Lol. But thanks though I get what you are saying. I appreciate the advice

Just keep it modest that's all, no excessive show of skin et al. Let them get to know you first.

As a rule of thumb wear African fabrics and you should be fine . The family is important but your relationship with him is the most important thing.

Ok thank you. Then I'd probably have to start liking African fabrics. Lol I didn't even realise I had already posted something yesterday so I've put up the same post lol. He seems to not mind the show of skin but I let him pick out my outfit before going to see his family cos well he knows them best. And it looks like I'd have to sew African prints then. Thanks!

Ok hi.
I'm a Ghanaian actually. I joined because my fiancé is an Igbo man and I would love to get more aquainted with everything Igbo and Nigerian in general. I hope I'm welcome.
Recently had my first visit to Lagos to meet the family and it was pretty good I must say. Enjoyed every minute of my stay .
I'm am a Ga girl, a little different from the average girl. Favourite colour is black. All I wear is black and shorts which didn't sit too well in Nigeria I learned because apparently how a well brought up lady dresses there is extremely important so I may have to buy a whole new wardrobe. Lol. But his family is so welcoming and nice!
You guys are tops. I dough my cap
Anything else I should know? Entering a pure Igbo family?

Hey. Ok so I'm a Ghanaian girl, mid twenties and I've been dating this igbo guy for a while now. It's pretty serious. I went with him to Lagos for the first time to meet his family. They were extremely nice. My only issue really is the dress code. It seems I have a wardrobe completely unsuited for the atmosphere there. I was hoping I could get some advice on dressing and such etc. I wouldn't want to offend them.
