In the past, it is the family that will do this work for you but since we wan abandon tradition, na private investigator go chop our money. You married into families, you didn't marry yourselves alone but since you want to FAFO, let me help her here:


Before modern background checks, Nigerian cultures already had systems for finding out who someone really was before marriage. Families did not rely on romance alone. They asked questions, sent people, and consulted trusted sources.

Among the Yoruba, families carried out what is simply called ìwádìí meaning investigation. A trusted person was sent to ask questions about the prospective spouse and their family. This person could be a respected elder, a family friend, or sometimes a babaláwo. The focus was on family history, character, health issues, mental illness, criminal behavior, and general reputation. The person doing this work is often referred to as Alárinà, meaning someone who gathers information by asking around. If the report was bad, the marriage could stop.

The Igbo have a similar process known as ịjụ ase or ịma afa, depending on the community. Families asked elders and neighbors about the background of the other family. They checked lineage, social status, repeated marriage failures, and serious taboos such as osu lineage. Spiritual consultation was also common. Negative findings were taken seriously, even if the couple already liked each other.

Among the Hausa and Fulani, investigations were done through family networks, community leaders, and religious authorities. Reputation mattered greatly. Families relied on long-standing knowledge within the community. Religious character, discipline, and family conduct were important factors. Because communities were close-knit, information was easy to verify.

In Edo culture, marriage involved family-level investigation. Families looked into ancestral history, moral behavior, and spiritual obligations. If a family had unresolved issues or negative patterns, elders advised against the union.

Efik, Ibibio, and Annang communities also used family and community inquiry. Elders spoke with neighbors and relatives to understand the family’s behavior over time. Issues like abuse, instability, or repeated divorce were red flags.

Across Nigerian cultures, the idea was the same. Marriage was not just between two people. It involved families, reputation, and long-term stability. These investigations were practical, not mystical. They were meant to prevent future problems, not to shame anyone.

What we now call background checks already existed. They were done through people, memory, and community accountability.

Are the idoma really up to 8 million?

Hmmm, you must be an ancient homosapien. Hope no case of divorce.

She looks more like a full blooded undiluted Yoruba woman

my Samantha125 can't do that; she believes in me and no other. We want to build together.

QuinQQ:
What connections do you have to get info? You think it is easy

Do you have someone you want to investigate

She married him bcs she was already a single mother, a left over of one niggar in america.
If she was still in her shakara age, this can never happen. That is not love but opportunism or circumstancesm.

One bottle of Hennessy for her Husband.
Brotherhood are really proud of him

I actually do. I want to know if they're a CIA agent
