Is My Cousin Entering A Trap? by deltateam(op): 7:14pm On Apr 13, 2021
I have heard so many gory tales about Mbaise men and hence this question.

It's often said that:" If you see a snake and an Mbaise man, leave the snake and kill the Mbaise man." Could this be attributed to their cunningness or hot tempered nature.

Anyway as if it isn't bad enough, the man is jobless and looking up to my cousin for financial assistance as regards marrying her.

When I analyzed the situation, it left sand in my mouth and so I decided to table the matters before the elders of our land.

What are your views?

Whether male or female, don't you ever marry a jobless person.

...unless you want to understand the real meaning behind the “so help me God” in end of the national pledge.

If she is desperate for marriage she will fall into the wrong hand

It reminds me of rgmh song one uncle used to sing when I was a little girl.

Okpara ekwensu Wu onyen mbaise.

I don't know much about mbaise people but what's your cousin thinking trying to marry a man without job? No nau.

It's not a tribe thing ,its about the person involved.
Let her do her due diligence and proceed according to her findings about the person.

Its not an Mbaise thing even though i'm not from there.Theres a diary with an M moniker.It will be ur cousins story very soon .The man will blame her for his failures,get jealous and try to pull her down.I wwish he'd start up something first before this marriage.

He'll also easily read meaning to her words and cite disrespect because of ' her money',when she asks questions.

ppl can be very humble and loving when money isnt there.Its a bad time to deduce who someone is.

You are right fa.

About my suggestion, I wondered what kind of drugs the bride to be is on to even think she wants to foot the bill of their wedding plus the marriage to come. But everyone already echoed my thought. Let the guy take the feed feedforward. For some men, their major achievement is being born a Male...nothing more! It is well.

My problem is not about your sister's decision... It's about you painting every Mbaise men with the same brush... and doing so has never been nice in any portrait(s)...A jobless man with determination can still be gainfully employed...He can still own a business and even become an employer of labour if he got purpose...

It's not always Ok to look at short term...In this life, I have learned never to write someone off or dismiss someone because he is down... He may be down at the moment but he is not out...,

I wish that one day, you would learn that in your lifetime... U made it look like Unemployment is leprosy...
