bigfrancis21:
Igbo bashing has become quite a common thing in Nigeria such that it has become normal to bash Igbo on every single thing, even on things that are meaningless.

You created this thread to ask why Igbo prefer to marry from their tribe. Are you really serious? This is a question you opened this thread for looking for 'answers'? Would you have opened this very thread in the first place had a Yoruba or Hausa guy been the one who preferred to marry from their tribe? Yes or No? Why would a Yoruba parent reject a non-yoruba suitor, and that will not be an issue. In fact, such action is justified. A Hausa parent will do the same and no dust will be raised about it. But when an Igbo parent does the same, then its a big deal. It is a serious issue that calls for serious attention and criticism, then you begin to get tags like ''Igbos are 'tribalistic'', 'they are 'selfish'', it is an 'Igbo problem' e.t.c. Minor issues that aren't issues when done by other tribes become a serious issue when Igbo is involved.

I look around me, majority Ibibios marry within the Ibibio tribe, majority Hausas marry within Hausa, Yoruba within Yoruba, why should the Igbo marrying within themselves even be a question in the first place? Despite the level of inter marriage between whites and blacks here in the US, majority whites marry within whites, chinese within chinese, blacks within blacks, and you're going to sit there and tell me that it is a problem when Igbos prefer to marry Igbos?? Like seriously??

I get your point about love being the most important factor between 2 people from different tribes and there are marriages between Igbo men and non-Igbo women however majority Igbos don't need to look outside for love when they can find it within themselves. The same love you mentioned as important, Igbo men get it from within the tribe. Why look outside? What about culture preservation and values? Why should Igbo preferring to marry from within even be an issue in the first place when other tribes are doing the same? Is the creation of this thread even justified in the first place?

Tomorrow you're going to open another thread asking 'Why do Igbo people speak Igbo?' Like seriously??

Acting as a victim again...smh.

joywendy:
pls spare me that trash

what silly reality? Did you even read what she wrote?

if you want to wash your spouse clothes do it because you love them, not because YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO OR YOU ARE COMMANDED TO. So if the guy wants to wash his gf clothes there is no big deal and if he doesn't no big deal as well and the same with the ladies. If they decide to wash together no problem as long as they are doing it for the love they feel for each other not because of one silly stereotype somewhere

It depends on the two individuals involved.

me talk trash? Ok, time will tell.

joywendy:
i really don't get the idea behind your post.

so it is not disrespectful telling his gf to wash his clothes when he is not busy but it is highly disrespectful telling him to help wash his gf's clothes when she is not busy?

Why the double standards?

face reality and stop sounding like a 6 year old kid.

deebee13:
No dearie, absolutely nothing wrong. My boo helped me wash mine cos I was too lazy to...and he got a mind blowing reward ! It depends on ur level of understanding sha.

Charley go to sambisa....I diot

yinkus4u2c:

sakaguchi:
Wow! This is impressive. It is very easy to be a prophet in this Nigeria oo!


Me (Now known as a prophet): Brethren! Let's pray against post-election violence and killings, what I see is gory. I see bloodbath in Kaduna, Maiduguri, Bauchi and Katsina. I see protest in Lagos, Oshogbo and Edo. Let us pray hard for this election. I believe our prayer can stop this malevolent vision and save our country. Amen.


Just like that, I have said nothing. If violence happens, they'll say Prophet Sakaguchi said so, if it doesn't happen, I will say our prayers and fasting has thwarted the bloodbath and associated hues and cries. Just like that, I'll become big, collecting 10% of anything anybody makes and amass 1000% more wealth than any of my member gets. They'll say God is blessing me and will idolize me.

Chai! Nigerians! Which way?
When are we ever going to learn?
When other climes are making giant strides in Science and Technology, we are here conjuring useless prophecies.

I don't blame the pastor sha! I blame Nairaland for bringing useless posts like this to front page.
I will pray for this pastor and the Mod that brought this to FP. May God deliver them on this Sunday. Amen.

since there is no power(electricity)in the country to achieve science and technology thingy nigerians have no choice than to embrace spirituality...what a country...smh.

InvertedHammer:

That Linda dated him (a very much older man aka Aristo) tells a lot about Linda.

Don't forget that part. Linda should celebrate her success but in no way should she make it sound that she zipped up, worked hard and made it as an ex-model in Nigeria.

\

The man is just trying to be respectful, linda was his side chick but she was beginning to fall in love due to america thingy..all na part of hussle for linda then..

carefreewannabe:
How does it concern me whether he can date Linda or not? Does it make him look more handsome?

Does his value depend on the type of ladies he dates? His self-esteem obviously does.

yeah! I quit agree with you that self-esteem does the magic most times but you should know ones value give self-esteem to be able to get what u really want.

iphanyiuma:
check again..

ok I will do that..,or be jude okoye of psquare u dey talk.

savanto:
Take it easy bros. Dan did not tell us that he is broke or that Linda is more successful than he is. Don't assume; don't add.

Let me say this, life aint all about how much money you make. Stick to what gives you fulfilment. I wouldn't marry a lady because she is rich. If they were meant to be together, things would naturally have fallen into place even if Dan was dating 100 women at a time. Linda would have been thee first on his list of babes.

tell them bro...only a not well to do man will be looking for a woman that has money and fame to marry which is normal but 98% of men don't usually want such women as spouse at initial stage..as for me, I gbadun linda type of fame unlike them genevieve's.

iphanyiuma:
That's your forking loss old man...sit back relax and watch as jude okoye forks her in your face...

last time I check jude okoye is married and I'm aware linda was not the lady.

carefreewannabe:
I am talking about his appearance now and I see nothing handsome about him.
I know men of his age who look much better. It is not about age. Elderly men can be handsome too.

all body system are not the same...btw, he can still date linda if he want to (if them never start already) considering linda is still single with no issue yet.

carefreewannabe:
I am a lady and I strongly disagree. He is the opposite of handsome.

opposite of handsome? If only you met him when he was young.he is a full grown man now with more flesh so don't expect him to look forever young.

joenicewake:
Some folks don't really understand what this man was talking about. He meant that their relationship couldn't really work out fine. This happens sometimes in life especially when a girl who is deeply in love is too honest and wanted his man at all cost.

Linda might be rich though, but definitely not so rich. And of course, apart from looks, there are other qualities women look into like your voice, level of confidence and so on. So, not being handsome wasn't a drawback for both parties.

that man is handsome according to his age...leave them make dem dey mis-yarn.

Setaje:
I pray for so many girls that guys have taken for granted. Hurt you wiv out any cogent reason. Belittled you and made u feel worthless. You shall be successful and u will Shame those who took you for granted.



Ok my prayer for guys is "you shall reap whatever you sew"............

shey u don start to dey mis-yarn again... Why not say my prayer for guys who use and dump girls, vice versa.

Bottom line: dan forsta was a player(fvcking different ladies) then, u know players rarely know the right woman for them. Btw, maybe him marrying linda then could have hinder linda's success..life na 2 ways...in tupac's voice; 'life goes on'.

Gbawe:
That is what you are reduced to? Pathetic. See how you guys in bondage inadvertently sing and dance for your oppressors when you should dump them and seek others who can let you attain the dignity and choice others enjoy worldwide? My mobile phone contract (UK telecom provider) is around £18 per month (around N6,500.00) and gives me unlimited browsing, unlimited calls and unlimited text. I can do whatever I want on the go any day of the week from my own private line anywhere in the UK. How will you ever get such cost-effective empowerment that will allow you to be a more productive human being and greater human capital asset for your nation when the PDP you support ensures telecoms providers will never offer greater value because of high cost of operation?

Any company operating in Nigeria will automatically levy Nigerians heavily for the diesel they spend to power their operation and deduct 'rough terrain' tax from whatever they supply. This is why I laugh at you blind supporters of GEJ. You have no exposure beyond "suffering and smiling" Nigeria to know how bad you have it and how pathetically oppressed you are. They fleece you and you guys simply embrace more corruption and 'wayo' to try and afford what should be the very basics any dignified human being should enjoy. Yet you continue to sing and dance for your oppressors of 16 years who will keep you as you are even if they have 80 years in charge of Nigeria. Sad. Very sad and I feel sorry for you.

this is it.

Akkord4gov:
Lol
It isn't ur fault.I blame all dese LovePeddler every where that makes it appear like no ladies with sense again

so those lovepeddlers nor be girls again huh

What a childish post and it make fp...I purposely not to comment on 1st page.

the funny part be say some i diots go still vote for pdp in that state..hunger really dey worry most nigerians.

Delta state hmmm awon PDP goons.

ambrosini593:
Surely they shall gather against GEJ, but they shall flee in billion ways. What kind of opposition that feeds on lies and cook up stories all the time to stay relevance?. Once your time has past it will no longer come back. The crown belongs to GEJ

You guys are not use to opposition in politics or rather, in democracy hence the character assassination by PDP...if only you know the importance of strong opposition in a democracy.smh...how I wish we have strong opposition like APC since 1999 NIgeria would have been a better place...we wouldn't have had GEJ who has no has no political records before he was elected selected by Pdp/obj.

Lordabas:
just found out now before it got serious or we started dating that she slept with my brother 3yrs ago. She has been very honest with me about how she was wild partying hard, very young and naive.i think i got a thing for her and by her actions of late to me and words of other people i think she's a very nice girl. Whatever actions people had in the past with her when i wasn't involved i tell them to leave it in the past i dont care
To be honest with all of you i really don't care but i think some strong feelings are clouding full judgement

...I and my brother still get along great together

Ok Would appreciate some helpful insight

bro don't even try it for real or u will regret at the long run.
