FamilyRe: Igbo Girl Marry A Guy From Delta State? by nlPoster:
Ardar:
Which one is Imolite Anambrarian etc, you for add enugurian na. It's very rare to ask someone who is from Anambra where he or she is from and the person will reply with "I am an Anambrarian" (pronouncing the word sef is weird) instead the person will say "I am Igbo" Then you now ask what state.
Usually most Igbos dont need to point out the fact they're Igbo, people already know but might ask just to be sure.


Identifying yourself by state or tribe or both should not be a big deal, it's not always uncomplicated and neither is everyone always the same. The context also matters.

Ebonyian, Imolite, Anambrarian, Abian are used by indigenes of these states, nobody seems to have a problem with it. I'm not sure what Enugu is called.

My brother, you are deceitful. Why did you screengrab only the title? You shoud have posted the article. He said he has other blood in him because his mum or grandma is Igbo
When/where did he say he has Igbo ancestry ? huh

You might be confusing him with Davido.

@Ardar

I guess you or someone you know might have had a bad experience with an Urhobo person? Hence you don't like them.

Looking at Imolite, Anambrarian, Abian, to mention a few, is it really fair to catch feelings at the term Deltan ?

once again, you fail to comprehend the point in my initial post and instead, went on rambling an entirely different thing.

But that's fine.

Variations in women clothing style and design, I know that.

My point is, I'd do myself a whole lot of good putting on clothing that will give you minimal stress when walking or sitting in public. Fine, you have to adjust the clothes, no problem. Why stress myself wearing clothes that I have to be adjusting like a mad person?

And no, I don't spend time watching women dragging with their clothes they wore with their own hands. How I arrive at that conclusion, shows a lot about me trying to project an habit of mine on me.
What part of my narrative are you not getting?

Just let women adjust their clothes as necessary without your whining as long as they are not looking for your attention.

I dont see why you have an issue with people smoothing out their fabric or stretching it out or something. You are not a woman so it might be strange to you.

Even with long dresses you still have to gather it sometimes as necessary, quit complaining about what you dont understand and besides has nothing to do with you.

Why is there a (Nigerian?) bias against a man surrounded by mostly females?

A lot of times women tend to judge men by how well they measure up to female standards.

You dont know them and why they open threads to accuse you of things that are none of their business or why/when did you do this or that.

When they destroy your family dynamics as you let them, it's on you.

They wont take responsibility for your foolishly trusting nature and the consequences.

No lady in her right mind would ever want her own brother to be mistreated by another lady (Lord knows I'll never sit back and allow any female mistreat or disrespect any of my brothers)
But you are ok with ladies being insulted everyday by nlers. Perhaps they're your brothers abusing people all the time here in the foulest language possible?

That aside, my advice to you is to stop giving people bad advice. If you know you have a problem with your family members dating or marrying, then dont allow them to have any relationships at all to begin with instead of knocking yourself out over it.

I didn't say men are a minority in Nigeria.

Danhumprey:
Lol. grin

Maybe comprehension is my problem, because I don't see where in my post I said or implied that they are trying to seduce me with their dressing.

Frankly, I couldn't care less if some women's dressing is to seduce men. Not my business. And infinitely less of my problem.

I was just wondering, why all that stress wearing clothes that you know quite well are uncomfortable in, especially if you can't quite handle those starry eyes while walking in public and engaging in a tug of war with the dress you pick with your own hands to wear.
Comprehension is most likely your problem, I just explained women's clothing has more variation in material than men's, therefore yes a woman might have to adjust her dress more frequently than a man does.

The issue of you being seduced came up because you seem to be spending a lot of your time watching women adjust their dresses.

In my opinion, you should let people know if you need time off.

Although Nigerians do not like folks not taking assigned supposedly optional duties, but if you say you're struggling with depression, then you need help for yourself too.

By terrapin you mean turtle?

Actual terrapins do not seem to be native to west Africa though.

I don't seem to understand what goes on in the mind of some females. It beats me. Honestly.

They will wear clothes that reveals their cleavages, those V-neck, low neck dresses and when walking around, from time to time, will be tugging at their dress, pulling it up, to cover their cleavages, perhaps as a result of starry eyes. But then, before stepping out from the house, they knew the dress will expose their cleavages, but still went on to wear it.

Or those ones that wear short skirts, gowns, that hangs above their knees, mini-skirts, those tight, body-hugging dresses that tend to lift up as they move and hence why they will be dragging it down time and again to cover those part above the knees that have been exposed. They knew that will happen when they put on that dress, yet still put it on. And end up fighting with the dress, engaging in a tug of war with it in public. undecided
Women's dressing is different from men's dressing.

For one, ladies have a wider range of fabrics and designs.

A dress might need adjusting if it stretches or shifts, perhaps you should focus on other things and let the women adjust their dressing as necessary.

And no, not all women are trying to seduce you, it's not that hard to know the ones who are.

Even iro and buba, one of the safest and most dignified dressings on the planet, sometimes needs adjusting if the woman has to check her wrapper. Luckily in the olden days, all you see is the pantaloons and ancient skirt underneath, so it wasnt seductive.
