I acknowledged your comment, but you should have simply ended it there.
You started becoming illogical when going further to harangue the OP besides all the copious evidence right before your eyes of people telling you pretty much that that is how they roll, hence you were reaching... for ego purposes or maybe just persistent ignorance?

When 10 or 20..... or even a hundred people tell me they prefer this way of doing things, I'll believe them..... but it still doesn't negate the existence of a side that would prefer not to do things this way. and a lot more others who exist in the gray area between these polar opposites.
your refusal to acknowledge this fact is what makes whatever argument you make extremely lopsided, and from this point forward, not worth my time.

Then you need a larger sample size....so I will fault you with ignorance and lack of experience.
This is not the first time I have asked this question. Besides me, a quick check online yields another similar conversation, along with the usual expected responses whenever someone asks the typical igbotic mind a question about their culture...

When people are honest enough to tell you who they are and what they believe in... believe them. It is illogical to argue that they don't believe what they have told you they believe.

This, right here, is textbook confirmation bias.
personally, I have met a good number of Igbo folks who didn't give a fuck_about getting married in their villages but you don't see me using that as a blanket for all others.
simply put, some prefer to stick to their tradition, which admittedly, is sometimes more trouble than it is worth. others prefer the pragmatic approach.
if you still can't see the difference & prefer to stay true to your one shoe fits all ideology- seeing things through an incredibly reductive lens....... then there is no point to this back and forth. I'll just have to accept what the earlier comments on this thread insinuated..... that you are just a hater.

According to this thread alone, have the igbos who posted advertized themselves to be anything BUT what the OP has expressed as backward?

You will hardly meet any igbo person that does not represent what the OP just talked about, whether they make that agreement with an insult or not.

I take it you are igbo. If you people want to be seen as progressive people, you should openly question your own people as the OP has done.

According to this thread...

do you even hear yourself? when has the comments of no more than 5 random strangers become an acceptable sample size on which to base your judgement of an entire tribe made up of millions of people living in all corners of the globe?
and maybe you should take the time to revisit my first & second comments on this thread; read them slowly this time and maybe the part where I questioned the rationale behind adhering to obsolete customs will become clear to you because I just assumed you missed it the first time OR maybe you just have selective amnesia.

+ I am a Fulani guy. call me idealistic but I believe humans should be able to see things objectively irrespective of racial, tribal or religious affiliations.

You really have no point in calling the OP narrow-minded.
He is going by what the self-same igbos advertise their culture to be, as can even be seen from the commenters on this thread.
Apparently He also has multiple negative experience to buttress the point he is making, laong with igbotic confirmers here, so I really don't understand how this your "narrow-minded" insult makes sense.
You can only accuse someone of generalizing if the people he is talking about aren't actively confirming his point with every post.
You are just reaching. Apply logic.

I would wager a testicle the OP hasn't interacted with 0.5% of all Igbos alive today. So, unless proven that 100% of the Igbo population accepts this practice as the only acceptable process, his decision to heap everyone, with no exception, into the same basket remains inaccurate and my conclusion valid.

That's ur own perception bro. If u don't like the culture. U can go ahead to do ur thing the way u like. But the Igbo tribe will not change the way they do their thing just because u have a problem with it. No, it doesn't work that way.
The Bible also respects the good aspect of people's culture. Also I can tell u that traditional marriage is not bad as it is not evil in any sense.
In so many other cultures all over the world, they all have their different weddings, the Indians has their own, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Arab, the English( white wedding) , the Nigerians both Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, efik ( traditional wedding).
One type of wedding is enough for any group of people as long as they recognized it as a means of marriage rites. Just because the white wedding ( western culture ) came about to this part of the world, should we abolish our own TRADITIONALLY recognized form of wedding and take up on other people's? I don't think so.

Some might think traditional wedding is echaic? If it is then, the white wedding which is the generally recognized form of traditional wedding to the western world will be echaic to the Chinese, Japanese, Indian or even the Arabs.

The westerners have all accepted the white wedding and its norms, so as other cultures.
Traditional wedding or not, it's ur choice.

You're missing the point.
How I see it, he isn't necessarily condemning traditional marriage rites, he is questioning the logic contained therein when a bride-to-be residing in a faraway land insists on traditional rites, which must be performed in a preordained location simply because it is customary. All this, with little to no regard as to the financial or economic risks which will be incurred in the process.

he is simply suggesting people shouldn't be so boneheaded & inflexible when it comes to honouring traditions that have become obsolete & serve no real purpose in the bigger picture.

First, anyone marrying outside his tribe or race should do so with the willingness to embrace his partner's culture and all the realities, pleasant or otherwise that come with the package.

with that said, any partner not willing to abandon trivial, stupid, sometimes
even harmful cultural practices simply because "it is our custom"..... well, that person's thought process is too similar to a sheep's and shouldn't be allowed to breed with humans.

for the O.P of this thread:
while a generalization like the one you just made about Igbo girls is symptomatic of a narrow-minded view on your part, the underlying points remain a valid argument, which in a more enlightened climate would be taken more seriously.

While proficiency in any language is not a true barometer of intelligence, it still doesn't change the fact that English remains the preferred language of instruction in our schools, for better or worse. Defending mediocrity solely because it has to do with a colonial language is shortsighted and projects a keyhole view of the world. Lots of Nigerians have already lost their native dialect as it is, failure or plain refusal to improve their English only puts them in a lose-lose situation.

I don't know why but this story sounds like a bunch of half-baked lies you will likely find in an underfunded Hausa movie.

brother graduates: *gets job with google/yahoo/Microsoft

sister graduates: *gets 'HIGH PAYING' job

she graduates: *shoots straight to the higher echelons of the banking hierarchy.

we all know the banking sector has an age ceiling when recruiting and I'll bet my left eardrum she was above the age limit due to the delays she encountered.
CEOs of multinational companies that more or less have an army of MBA/MIF students from Harvard/IE/LSB/Wharton etc at their beck and call suddenly decided to turn to her for financial advice?

who is her father?
