Abagworo:
what all these untravelled,unexposed and uncivilzed man worshiping non-igbos fail to realise is that their is no single dialect,dressing and tradition common to all igbos.we ain't like y'all.we are extremely heterogenous,democratic and decentralised.

ifyalways:
Better soup na Money kill am,Paupers beware 
BTW,OP,dat list is still Incomplete,go for updates.

True that!!!
So can you help update the list

Your friend parents do have a point you know!! Afterall they want the best for their son

Family background really matters in a relationship especially one that would lead to something as serious as marriage.
But at the same time if he really is in love with the girl and trusts her, he should be able to convince his parents. . . . .
I do not blame is folks cos like someone already said here "The apple is never too far from the tree"
But why cant this parents us leave us alone to follow our hearts

If you are planning to get married to an Igbo Lady you better fasten your belt very well.

Please thank me for the expo
saw it in the papers this morning!
Good Luck!!
