In Marriage: Which Tribe Is More Welcoming ? by Lostchild(op):
I can marry from any tribes as long as my dolly can see beyond tribalism.

I can marry from any tribe as long as she is a love dolly, a person who genuinely love humans.

I can marry from any tribe as long as my dolly is a modern english girl.

I can marry from any tribes as long as my dolly and her family will not pratice tribalism in my household

In 1999, I met an urhobo man who went to school in the north, there he fell in love with an hausa girl. It was a hellish nightmare for the young lady because she defile her family. She has to choose between her family or her man - the love of her life which she did.

She was struck with sickness and was unable to stand. Her urhobo lover began to run helter and sketer, looking for solution to her sickness. The man brought her to the south, taking her from one spiritualist to another for healing. Even the mother of the man was against the union, as she wanted her son not to marry a northern girl. It was hell for the young couples as both of them was trying to overcome the great evil of tribalism.

The question is asked, which tribe is more welcoming in marriage ?

I will be the first person to honestly answer this question base from experience and observation.

1. THE URHOBOS.
From experience and observation, I see that the urhobos ethnic are the most welcoming people when it comes to marriage. In marriage, the urhobos do not care about your tribe or where you come from. They will gladly welcome and accept you as long as you will take good care of their daughter.

2. THE IJAWS.
I thought about putting the ijaws first, but we are talking about marriage here. The Ijaw people are the most selfless and welcoming people in Nigeria, but I am not sure they are generally more expose when it comes to inter tribal marriage, but I must admit that the Ijaws are welcoming and helpful.

3. THE YORUBAS
I am sure the Yoruba's are welcoming in marriage or are they not?

I have seen many, many Yoruba's marry whoever they like.

4. THE HAUSAS
I have seen too many Hausa's men marry other tribes, but when it comes to marrying their daughter, it is almost impossible. I guess, maybe the religion difference plays a big role.

5. THE IGBOS
The Igbo's are not that welcoming when it comes to marriage. Despite them being in christianity, the igbo's are not that welcoming when it comes to marrying their daughter. If you, from other tribe want to marry an igbo girl, you will have to break some barriers. I constantly keep seeing Igbo's girls break up with good men in the name of, my parents will not accept him. Even if the angel Gabriel come to you for marriage, you will reject him because he is not an igbo angel.

READERS; Nigeria is huge with variois ethnic group. You are free to educate me on this write up. You are also welcome to also add your own ethinic /tribes and what you know about them in marriage.

Yoruba welcoming hmm
My mama no wan hear oo
Re: In Marriage: Which Tribe Is More Welcoming ? by Lostchild(op):
My cousin marry a Yoruba lady.

During the colonial errar, my grand father traveled to south west and marry a Yoruba petty princess.

I have seen many omo yoros marry whom ever they like.

So I am sure, the Yoros are welcoming

It boils down to exposure and education. To marry from a family from another tribe that is not cosmopolitan in outlook is difficult.

Once the family has cosmopolitan outlook, they will welcome any tribe provided the man or lady is well-behaved.

Yorubas are welcoming, very welcoming more than other tribes.
Re: In Marriage: Which Tribe Is More Welcoming ? by mariahAngel(f): 8:05pm On Sep 06, 2021
To be honest, the Yoruba people are the most accommodating tribe in Nigeria.
They are humble and free minded too.

The Igbos

The number of bi-racial children born abroad is a testament to that.

Infact everyone is tolerant to their own level and ability.

This thread just is another Igbo put down thread. It's totally unnecessary.

What motivated me to create this thread is that, I recently saw two Igbo girls on nairaland with the same tribal mentality, in choosing tribe over a good man.

One was confused over her parents reaction and rejection over a good man in her life.

The other Igbo girl believes that her parents will be the one to approve or choose whom she will marry

I have seen this happened many times and I keep seeing this happen in this modern errar

It's the Yoruba's, they don't give trouble at all,no In-law wahala.

Aside mine, I don't know much about the other tribes. What I know is that I've never heard any good things about marrying from a place called Kabba in Kogi State. The stories about that place dey relate somehow.

In my opinion
.Hausa is the best. Especially the faithfuls. Their levels of submission is to a fault. I love them Wholeheartedly.
Re: In Marriage: Which Tribe Is More Welcoming ? by Lostchild(op): 7:19am On Sep 07, 2021
I once watched an Australia movie called "Alex and Eve, where two young adult fall in love. The guy is an orthodox Greek christian, while the babe is a Lebanese muslim.

Not even religion or family was able to separate them. Any love that can be interfare with or control by a separate entity is not a love at all.

We are not talking about the submition of a woman, we are talking about family tribal acceptance in marriage.

Will the Hausa man accept other tribes to marry their daughter?.

50% of marital problems are solved when you marry from your tribe.

Please marry from your tribe.

Did you read the post at all?

From the writeup, it's so clear the OP is talking about inter-tribal marriage and focused on Nigeria. It's not about race.

You sat in your Brown roof republic to shitt out this statistics from your deformed assshole. All in a bid to demonise Igbo women and elevate your chronic adulterous Yoruba women.
