I'm experiencing same here in New York...started about an hour ago...

That's the worst medical center i ve ever visited...No ethics,no professionalism, lack medical equipment, unqualified staffs...Lost my dad there due to their negligence.

@Spacyzuma, it's really pathetic.
My mum's elder brother is a devoted Catholic and his stance on this is same stance my mum has.
My mum will definitely go against me.She has told me she didn't start this and wouldn't be the one to stop it.
My relations back home has told me their children won't eat with mine when i come back home to Nigeria. Some say they won't come to my house again.
Now,should i confide in my girl all this backlash?
Are this people that cursed?

@Smartmugu...It's called Osu Caste System in igboland...The Osu system is “a cultural albatross for the Igbo society,” as it is an impediment to human relationships and social progress (Nwosu, June 19, 1999). The Osu caste system, which the forefathers of the Igbos invented, has become the culture in parts of Igboland....Culled from google.

I met this beautiful lady January this year,We both live in U.S.A.She just started her MSc program and I'm yet to complete my BSc even though i had my BSc in Nigeria.
She's from a wonderful family well mannered,Focused and independent same applies to me.My family Loves her including my mum.
After 6 months into our dating,I decided to do my background check in Nigeria and the problem started.
I was told she's from the Caste Clan. From that moment,my mum's attitude towards her changed each time she comes visiting.
My resolute is never to leave this innocent girl who knows noting about *ancestral whatever*.
Now you may want to know why i have to go check first if i don't believe in tradition,the reason is because my mum forced me into doing it...she's the one who sent my uncle in Nigeria cos my dad is late.
Nevertheless, my Love for the girl hasn't blinked an inch rather it keeps getting stronger by the day.
The truth is that she doesn't know the battle I'm going through in my family.I still bring her home and she's so relaxed whenever she comes but my mum doesn't respond to her greetings the way she used to,Two of my younger sisters are divided.One is opposed to my marrying her and one is strongly behind me marrying her.My elder brother who's married is indecisive while my younger brother is not worried who i marry as long as I'm happy.
I have prayed and asked God for direction,Vision and Courage to make a decision. This is a girl my heart really desire.
My good friends, I really want to decide between my Joy and the Joy of my Mother.
Does the outcast really exist in this 21st century knowing fully well the Bible teaches us Love and Forgiveness of sins.I have made a resolution to be with her in spite of the perception of others, I don't see the reason why i should not go ahead with her.
The problem I personally have with some of the traditional culture is that it was instituted by men and never by God and if under God, there wasn't anything in that light, I have no idea why men will look at others in such a manner.
For the avoidance of doubt,I want to confirm from those in her area and make further consultations to find out more about her and her family so that i will have enough information for anyone who feels that i shouldn't marry someone that i love.
If God could love a miserable offender like me, I have no idea anyone else that is beyond love.
Romans 8vs1 says there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus for the law of the spirit and life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death.
This verse to me remains valid for every form of human rejection or abuse.
My good people i need your best advice.I know the level of isolation and ostracized i will receive if I go ahead and marry her.Is it worth it?Do traditional belive supercede personal believe. Is this tradition still valid?
Can my mum ever agree with me?
My uncle and relations back home are vehemently against me marrying her.
But I've met some Catholic priest who all advice me to go ahead and marry her that they will personally come talk to my mum when i request.
Presently,we all live under one roof and I'm planning to move out and stay on my own.
I just feel the need to share this this you and hear,learn and decide.At the end of the day,he final decision is up to me.
