I was restless when I was younger,
I would be eating and playing around.
My mom(God rest her soul) told me if I eat standing up, the food will be going to my legs....I believed her.

Well I'm telling you that was not what I meant and it doesn't in any way affirm that the oracles mete out punishment. You go read it again. You misinterpreted the whole thing prolly due to your mindset.

AshiraWealthy:
Hello.. Do you read to comprehend or you read to attack?
You asked who metes out punishment, and I asked you if I'm an oracle to know and you turn round to say I told you oracle metes out punishment.

As for whether I can't marry from my village, op and I do not share or have same tradition. In my place, we can marry from my mothers kindred but not from my father's kindred (same village) and every one respects that tradition. But if OPs tradition says otherwise, then let him respect it!
I will never ever make such mistake cos even at friendship level, I'll try to find out your roots and if you cannot trace your roots, then we ain't taking it no further. Forget all those things you said up there. We are not dumb in our family.

No. You sleep.

You have been thinking shallow all over this thread. Are you Adam? And if Adam was right, why haven't you had sex with your relations to prove that there's nothing to it? What are you waiting for? Empty barrel.

Auto200:
There are some things that even God will not come to your rescue when you call him

Do you know why? Because he sent ppl like us to advise you but you no hear

BRATISLAVA:
Why haven't you married your siblings or relatives? What are you waiting for?

Gabbyodogwu:
This is the most stupid comment ever it seems that you are in the stone age all this practices are in the stone age this is modern day 21st century
Love is the most important factor in marriage d major reason why most marriages fail is cos of lack of love. Mehn you re such a dumb ass

uzohrome:
Same thing am asking... We are talking waitin go make sense dem dey bring eve and Adam join. Is the guy or the girl came from the same village with Adam or Eve? We all from Africa have culture and norms even some of us from eastern part of this country are culturally homogeneous. Remember this culture has been there for centuries. Sure culture can be altered to fit in with modern life but we must state the facts not coming up with my history book or documentary without proof. All these spiritual books was written via inspiration not knowing where the inspiration comes from. If you can stay silent and concentrate for a long time you will be inspired most times you will hear clear voices talking to you. Hypnosis happens all the time. What you hear will be differed from what another person hears. But one will come and force or make you Belive that what he had was original and you should believe it and practice it. I have read plenty spiritual books they are all good. We Dont have to be dogmatic or sentimental or irrational to our sense of humor. Bringing Adam and Eve is extremely nonsense to the subject of discuss.

Does God even support incest? Do not tempt the Lord thy God.

priscaoge:
When they tell Youths of this generation to know their root, Cultures and traditions they will insult you and call you archaic/ancient. My Dear incest is NEVER accepted anywhere even in the Bible. Trust me you won’t be able to handle the consequences. If truly you both are related by blood, don’t go ahead with that plan of yours because it will backfire.


People on this NL who doesn’t understand how related you both are or what your traditions are will tell you to damn the tradition and marry her. Remember they won’t be there tomorrow to bear the consequences with you. They have their sacred traditions they respect and uphold but will quickly thrash yours just to sound woke


There’s a huge difference between CIVILIZATION and TRADITIONS. Some cultures and traditions are still powerful no matter how civilized or how religious the World is. Listen to the WORDS OF WISDOM, Listen to the WORDS OF THE ELDERS

Auto200:
Please respect tradition!

I know someone who did this same thing op is facing and now he is in hot soup for real ! Don’t advice him to do this

Auto200:
Which God?? You don’t understand the gravity of such advice

uzohrome:
Watin this one dey talk na. Adam and who... Then propose to your mum na

Shey I resemble oracle ni?

nnaeyes6:
Am not here to argue with u on the bible. I gave u a place to read and I also told u where Cain married from and not his sister. Please kindly refer to ur Bible Genesis chapter 1 to Genesis chapter 10 and know of how this world came about. Please

AshiraWealthy:
"consequences of your actions.

AshiraWealthy:
Why didn't you ask yourselves all these before taking it too far? For.me the first thing ask is where you're from. If you happen to come form my state Ill go ahead and ask local government to be sure. But these days once you fancy each other the only thing you focus on is sex, sex ,sex... And now this...

I'll advise you leave her before you land yourself into an abominable act which may not be funny.
Traveling out cannot save you from the consequences of your actions. You're still going to lose each other anyways and even in a deadly manner cos no one openly goes into incest and escapes the consequences. So its better to lose her in a peaceful way. And stop asking why the Igbo tradition is like that. Its been there ever before you existed.

Owun ne gbu nwa nkita na kpochi ya nti.

nnaeyes6:
All things won't be explained in the bible for u. In Genesis 2 God made man, he created THEM male and female. Cain married in the city of Nod after God Chased him away from the garden of Eden.

idonhammer:
A very rich friend of mine from imo state made that same mistake few years ago by ignoring his parents warning not to marry a girl from the same village,do you know what the guy is doing now? He is a mad man at owerri ebeiri market. As at 1996 ,this guy has two big cosmetics shops in orlu market. He was the first guy to buy Toyota Fj cruiser in orlu market and later bought Honda Element.Now everything is gone.He is a mad man now because he committed an abomination by marrying a girl that is related to him by blood.i feel pained because this guy paid my flight ticket when I traveled to Spain in 1997,but there is no way I can help because the crase don enter market level.So for your own good, leave that girl and look for another wife to marry.after all there are so many fishes in the river.if you fail to listen to your parents and marry that girl,your own don finish be dat.

Arabiandude:
I can bet up to my last penny that you are not more than 22 years.
See let me tell you a short story,... When I was at a certain youthful age the only thing that mattered to me was spoil, scatter, destroy and so on and just like you I would always tell the elders then that I know and see more than them even if they are the one who would have to climb a tree. But now you know what, I look back, SMH and laugh and my stupidity then because now maturity has set in and my present age has made me realize that what truly an elder sees sitting down, a child can't see it even when on top of a tree

Bekool:
At 25yrs is marriage supposed to be ur ultimate ambition in life have u finished ur education or are u successfull in ur business to take good care of ur own family? All these are supposed to be ur major worries besides I will advise you to listen to ur parents am also an Igbo man i come from a village with similar culture it's highly forbiden for us to marry ourselves. A couple based in the US who are both from our village once disobeyed this age long tradition despite all the warnings from his immediate family and elders from our village went on to conduct a church wedding in the US thinking that nothing will happen to them because they are living outside the country but at the end of the day the lady ended up giving birth to a cripple. Don't joke with some African cultures if u are not spiritually strong enough to withstand the backlash they can be very powerful.

Justdogood:
This is incest.

Are you guys mad ni?
What do you call love?

At your age you dont know you shouldn't shag your cousins even to the 6th generation cousins.
Not to talk of marrying one.
What is wrong with this generation?
Go to your holy books, which ever one you believe in Bible ooooo, koran ooooo, you will see it there.

See your mouth like I will damn the consequences.
Its not just consequences, its a curse. An abomination. A taboooo.
Imgine tell us you do all a man does for a woman for her.
Go for prayers as you have been sleeping with you distant cousin. Maybe 4th or 5th generation cousin.


Tuweeee.
Spits on kids of nowadays.

Mandem12:
He said people from the same village don't marry each other because they're related somehow

nnaeyes6:
The issue is not that she us from ur village. Everyone marries from his or her village. The issue is that u were not listening to what ur father was saying. He meant "the girl is from ur blood lineage which is popularly called IKWU. And no one marries his Or her IKWU. It is a taboo, unless it is done unknowingly. Ask ur dad again which IKWU u come from and let him be specific in mentioning it. Inquire from the girl's family if they are the same (note: some people's village ikwu is link to fatther and some are linked to the mother.
Therefore, if ur father tells u and ur ikwu are the same, please kindly leave her but if they are not same, go ahead and marry her. However, if they are not the same and ur father doesn't want u to marry her, inquire more, maybe she could be ur lost step sister.
Thanks

PuZZyNegro:
Before a tradition is set, there's a reason for that.

These are mainly small villages where each person is related in one way or the other

Mandem12:
When she left, my father asked me where she was from, and I told him and my father told me I can't marry her because she was from the same village with me and thereby related by blood thereby marrying her is an abomination that she was my sister so to say and said our kinsmen would not be Involved if I insist on marrying her... I felt my world crumbling down like a pack of cards...

adioolayi:
Go ahead and marry her....Just read the beautiful story of Samson and Delilah....Go ahead and marry against your parents wish...I am not saying you are not matured enough to make decisions, after all it's your home, your life.... but then what the elders see while sitting, children don't see even while on tree top.
