lol. God does not want a husband to have sex with his wife? Where?
Honestly. I just confirmed once again that a majority of Nigerian girls are hypocrites and weild double standards.
You know quite well he isn't talking of "Husband and Wife". He is talking of "boyfriend and girlfriend" and you know you just on purpose chose to manipulate the whole context.
Please some of us are intelligent enough to see through y'll wimps and caprices. You don't always have to go against the truth when its staring at you in the face.
PLEASE CHANGE!

Honest question bro, where you a virgin when you married her?
He said the truth. I don't see the need for your question.
I am a Virgin and i plan to remain so till i marry and I'm never going to settle for a lady that has hopped from one d!ck to the other.
This technique you ladies use when we bring up the claim that we want morally upright wives by asking us if we were virgins is stale.
Some of us still have our heads intact and would NEVER settle for a h0e (in this context: NON-VIRGIN)

nuelyoyo:
and how would you know if she is a virgin or not if you don't do romantic stuffs with her. My advice to you if you are looking for a virgin and you don't want to have sex before marriage is that you at least romance the lady and get to the pussy arena and confirm for your self. If you because of religion just accept a ladies words that she is a virgin, u might be surprised on ur wedding night that she is not. Many ladies lie to religious guys about their virginity status coz they know the guy would not want to verify coz of religion. I personally don't have a problem with dating a virgin that gives me the no sex condition, but I must confirm your virginity and will continue to confirm the virginity from time to time as long as we are still in the relationship. But I hear some girls are professional with the use of pussy tightening cream.
You make alot of sense

to be honest with you dear...many simply don't know what they want...
I am a guy who believes and practise "abstinence from sex till marriage"
but unfortunately I find it difficult gettin a lady by my side...
I have always loved,care and do all i need to do....
many just love me as a friend but when I wanna go extra mile they decline and take me for granted...
the truth is good people find it difficult upholding godly values in today's present world...
the only guys ladies are mad over are those who go to have sex wit them....then they will be obessed wit the dude...because he has seen them....
real God fearing guys are only needed when marriage come calling definitely not in a relationship because relationships wit such guys to them....are boring being that there is no sex, kissing and petting...

my advise to godly guys....is to keep being good and always know the reason why they're living Godly is because God say so and for their own good and not for the sake of confused lady compromise their stance
Awesome. You just spoke directly to me.
...
You are very correct. They just want us as friends but when its time for marriage is guys like us they want.
Me i have made up my mind. My standard is if you're not a Virgin. Gerraout of my life
Because when i was being faithful you were gallivanting from one d!ck to another

ahahahaha and you "MR captain save an African tribe" know where they (or you) came from?! people like you are so much brainwashed into your tribal nonsense that you will write nonsense, knowing fully well that you make absolutely NO DAMN SENSE.

here you are writing rubbish about tribes, while you havent shown us what was so special about these same tribes that you couldnt/shouldnt do without OR teach it to your kids (if they were so important issues). get real or better yet, still living in the archaic past!
Well your assertion that it makes "no damn sense" is subjective to you.
Archaic? I guess that's what the white folks made you to believe. You have simply lost your idenity no matter how you try to twist the semantics.

This is what western civilization has done to many parts of the world. And this is what is going to destroy the West. Trying to unify everyone under one identity is SENSELESS.

believing that you are the source of a tribe (today in this day and age) is wrong. unless you are one of them tribes that live in the jungle of South America, with no contact to the outside world, there is no chance that what you are today is the root of that tribe. there will ALWAYS be inter tribal marriage, that what makes us UNIQUE!

come on bro, what you wrote above is very "cheap", to say the least... if an igbo marry a yoruba then let each other do what they are comfortable with...and teach their kids to bow to Yorubas and not Igbos (or to whoever they desire), et voila! thats what BEING UNIQUE means.



you definitely are NOT open minded if you believe that igbos dont bow to greet people, thus that is a reason to NOT marry outside your tribe...thats a very NARROW MINDED statement, to say the least. you definitely aint open minded if you even believe that such nonsense should matter in marriage, or that should be a reason to value someone to marry (or not). LOVE is bigger than that, and thats all that matter!
no wonder some deluded people dont marry because of race, religion etc, but then again, to each their own misery.



of course you are narrow minded, you dont see pass your tribe, just like these idots Chinese back in the days who were made to believe that marrying other race was wrong for the Chinese race...which is sad. you desire to stick to your own, and overlook the millions of people that could be the perfect person in your life... due to some BS tribe/race. that is the DEFINITION of being narrow minded.



this has NOTHING to do with tribe and ALL to do with individual people. what stops you from teaching your language to your kid?! what stops you from teaching the "best" values to your kids (if your tribal values aint better than others, then they should rightfully be IGNORED).



why would you want to have friends from other tribes, since they dont share your "values", way of life etc...and such issue is a big deal to you that you are against inter tribal marriage?!



sadly, there is a difference between individual choices and expecting a whole tribe to act the same way...thats such a narrow minded statement. many igbos are yorubas, while some may be muslims or hausa...should they now value tribe over religion (or vice versa)?
anyone who want to make their individual views as a general way of life, have NARROW MINDED views. if thats what you desire for your life, fair enough, but dont try to come here to make it seem like this is the way to go for everyone. these are FACTs!



how can you love someone that does NOT share the same values as your own?! make some some sense pls?!



again, what you wrote above is SOLELY down to individuals....as we all know that it is very easy to teach kids how to speak different languages. so if a person doesnt teach their kids their own tribal language then its either because they DONT want to or because it is worthless/useless to do so... and as much as YOU may be against such views, others are completely OK with that.
You just butressed everything I've said.
We will all lose our identity on the long run.
In the name of being "open minded".
So long.......

You just keep repeating yourself. And trying to say intertribal marriage doesn't mean culture will be lost.
But then you and i know realistically that's not true.
I don't have time for long passages. Just answer the question of identity.
Isn't our identity lost?
Are our values the same?
If we don't share common values doesn't that make us neutral.

MrBrownJay1:


you are misinformed brotha... your own identity is ALREADY a product of inter-tribal mix, thus believing that what you are today is the main root of your tribe, is a JOKE.
This is not even the point. Yes identity is unique and is never shared. Yorubas believe they descended from Oduduwa. Chinese have their own belief. So don't go saying "I'm a product of intertribal mix".
We have different values the moment we begin to mix we lose our uniqueness. I'm sure you know not all our values mix. Example Igbos do not believe in bowing down to greet. So when you encourage Yoruba to marry Igbo that culture is lost as they don't mix. See?




MrBrownJay1:

and there is also a vast cultural intake from both side, which would make a person more enlighten and open minded in this world... instead of narrow minded.
You don't have to lose your identity to become "open minded". Intermarriage doesn't change people i gave an example in the Op.
What changes people is thier mimdset whether they intermarry or not. We are who we are. No matter the "vast cultural intake" happening.
The moment we begin to shift we lose our identity.


MrBrownJay1:

who cares what ignorant people/cultures do? until not long ago, we foreigners (whether black or white) were viewed as "demons of the west" by the Chinese government, so i certainly understand why many were against such marriage, but if you travel a bit more in your life, you will realize that MANY Chinese or Koreans marry foreigners (even though many look down on such act)
sadly, with your state of mind, no wonder so many ignorant people continue having such narrow minded state of mind. OPEN YOUR MIND AND LIVE YOUR LIFE without any fear whatsoever.
What has discouraging intertribal marriage got to do with state of mind. What is wrong with you folks. Can't you see the point?
So because i said intertribal marriages foster cultural extinction it means I'm narrow minded?
All in a bid to sound western and politically correct you would let your culture become extinct. Well done.


MrBrownJay1:

what shouldnt be encouraged is the idea that a person's tribe could be an obstacle into marrying someone.... this is ABSURD! what's next?! we shouldnt talk to one another? we shouldnt have friends from other tribes etc?!
Yes!
A person's tribe a can be an obstacle. Especially where you share divergent views and your cultural values are opposed to one another. It shouldn't be encouraged for the sake of the kids. This is why many kids are now western. They can't speak their language because the parents don't share a common ground.
Who said we can't have friends from other tribes? Stick to the point please


MrBrownJay1:

nothing YOU wrote is either factual or intelligent....it is all simply a baseless emotional statement, thats has NO merit whatsoever.
This your assertion here is mutual. I can say the same of all you wrote there too.

MrBrownJay1:

here is a clue: if you fall in love with someone, then marry them (so long as their tribes practices are NOT against yours)
And if you don't share the same values. They should still marry all in the name of "fall in love"?
This are the kind of marriages that produce kids that speak only english and don't have an identity (its not restricted to such marriages alone but it is condusive in such marrriges)

Intertribal marriages CAN and IS driving unity. Read up histories of African empires, Persia, Greece kingdoms.

There are other ways to drive unity. Not at the expense of our cultural values and identity.
And yes history? Any example where they encouraged intertribal marriage?

Identities are and can be claimed.

In the bible, it's on record that David took Bathsheba (a hittite) as wife who gave birth to Solomon, is Solomon a Jew or a Hittite?

In Nigeria we claim our identity from our Father's tribe but in Ghana it is from the mother's tribe.

Hittites would lose their culture offcourse to the Isrealites. Cause and effect. See?

In fact Chinese, Koreans are one of the lots immigrants in many countries, are you saying they don't intermarry?

What do you say about Mark Zuckerberg and his chinese wife or Nicolas Cage that married a Korean woman? Stop assuming things, this your post here is fallacy.

There are people that still go against inter-tribal marriage, we all dont share same ideology.
Please spare me! So you can't see those examples are exceptions. Don't you know there would always be exceptions.
Besides do you know how long they've stayed in America. They are virtually Americans now.
And it has nothing to do with being immigrants, Chinese and asian immigrants whenever they go are known to always keep their culture. That is why you have chinese villages, resturants and many more.
How many 'original' Chinese can you say the same of? Or Korean? It's rare. The examples you would find are those whose ancestors were immigrants and their offspring have integrated with the existing culture which is rare anyway.

tintingz:

This your post here is irrational.

Whether inter-tribal marriage or no inter-tribal marriage, one can still keep his/her culture and pass it to his/her offspring. My identity is my name, my dressing, my language, my behavior etc and note that I don't accept all cultural practice.

You're not being factual and realistic, you're talking about identity? What identity do offspring of intermarriages claim?
You and I know from the many of such marriages that we know are mostly culturally neutral. The kids are neither here nor there. Infact in most of these homes they only speak English.

tintingz:

It is hardly for someone to be in intertribal marriage to be tribalistic because he/she has conquered the tribalism inside him and for him to marry outside his tribe. Insulting a tribe is like insulting his wife and children.

Some might still be tribalistic but it is very low.
It is hard? What are you saying? The example i gave in the OP didn't you see that?
How does conquering tribalism have to do with intermarrying. You don't have to intermarry to be untribalistic. Many of these people you're talking about hold inner biases and prejudices against their tribes and sometimes pass it to their kids. So your point here is subjective.

tintingz:

Why do many people discourage inter-tribal marriage if not being tribalism, racism, they believe some tribes possess some negative traits, they generalize a fallacious critics and stereotypes.
That's not entirely true. I have said it before "Discouraging intertribal marriage has nothing to do with being tribalistic. Tribalism is a mindset and you don't have to intermarry to be unbiased. You just have to reason.

tintingz:

If you value your culture, why are you using computer and phones, go to secular schools and riding cars?
Please don't even go this direction. You're off the mark and have completely digressed. If you can't differentiate between Values and Technology then?

tintingz:

Again you being irrational and you are also hypocritical about this, intertribal marriage does not kill culture values only if you don't teach your children your culture. Why are many Nigerians now speaking English to their kids? Why are they not valuing their native language? Culture evolve it is not stagnant.
Culture evolves but value does not. Identity does not.
It's just like saying we all going to die but engaging in life threatening situations will hasten ones death. That's what intertribal marriage does.
All the problems you mentioned there is a problem of Western civilization.

Going by your perspective, The best way to preserve our identity is by inbreeding, which is being frown upon in today's world.
The bolded is what is going to destroy the West. The Asians understand the importance of protecting their values. This is why China will become the next world power.
It is political correctness. We can never be united, we are different people, @the tower of babel unity of the human race was discouraged by "separating their tongues". Its suicidal to try to unite everybody in the name of being politically correct.

I disagree, our cultural values changes as we do.
Take any cultural value and see how far back you can trace it without it changing.

For instance, There was a time our cultural value of wealth was built on the idea that you must be a farmer with great physical strength and ability to do farm work.
Has the cultural value of creating wealth by farming diminished in any way?
No.
Has method of farming remained the same?


Identity.
If you say you are Yoruba, for instance, how far back can you trace that identity?
Do you know what you're saying at all. Cultural values changes? That's the biggest joke I've heard this year.
Farming methods and cultural values don't correlate.
Values are found in respect, traditions, language, uniqueness of the culture from others. What you stand for, what you're known for THOSE ARE YOUR VALUES. So as a Yoruba boy we postrate to greet elders that's one of our VALUES. How can you say that should change? You're still confirming my point that cultural values are lost EASILY with this intertribal thing
Besides what do you mean "how far i can trace that identity ?
The fact that you even mentioned "YORUBA" you've contracdicted yourself. That's where the identity belongs. That's what makes me unique, that's why I'm not IGBO.

I will encourage inter-tribal marraige anytime, anywhere, it creates harmony between tribes, race than hatred, it promote culture. I won't promote tribalism like our ignorant archaic fathers did, the world has evolve from that mentality and people should evolve from this backward mentality.

I guess the Chinese and Koreans who hardly inter marry are "backward" or you are more evolved than them.
How does intertribal marriage preserve culture?

Discouraging intertribal marriage IS NOT EQUAL TO tribalism. Tribalism has nothing to do with that, it's a mindset and you can still be a tribalist even in an intertribal marriage like the example i sited in the OP.

I was having a discussion with a few friends yesterday. I told them emotions aside, intertribal marriages shouldn't be ENCOURAGED.
..
Why? To preserve our culture, our identity is in our culture. I know alot of products of intertribal marriages that are torn between the question of identity.
I once read where a lady from an intertribal marriage said her mom insisted she married her own tribe as against her dad's.
In many intertribal homes there is this cultural neutrality, and many times there's a power play on the kids among the two in-laws.
Even the bible doesn't encourage intertribal marriage, remeber the instructions Abraham gave to his servant and the fact that Jesus was sent to the jews ONLY initially.
Have you wondered why the Chinese and Koreans do not marry outside their race, why do you think there is that cultural cohesion and reverence with them anywhere they go.
...
My take is INTERTRIBAL MARRIAGES SHOULDN'T BE ENCOURAGED.
What's your take? Please be factual and intelligent DO NOT APPEAL TO EMOTIONS.

Alot of people are saying "culture evolves". Yes cultures evolve. But fundamentals like identity remains same.
Culture evolves. Identity doesn't. The fact that the Yorubas believe they descended from Oduduwa is UNIQUE TO THEM ALONE AND CAN NEVER EVER EVOLVE.
