They do so because they believe marrying people from their tribe is a sign of Goodluck... They believe such husband execute unimaginable care and love...

Jamb question.

sleekangel85:
A friend of mine has being dating a guy for some years now. She's not an Anambrarian. She's a very lovely lady,beautiful, kind, down to earth and she loves the guy so much.

I'm worried because the guy hasn't proposed and he is from Anambra state . I don't know if he'll eventually marry her because I've heard and I've seen a lot of people from Anambra state marrying from their tribe.

I need to know why they do that even when most times it's against their wish. What's your advice for her? Don't you think that the guy may eventually leave her for an Anambra Lady?

Thanks

U hate IGBOS...YET u want to marry them..
Please...please.... Please... LEAVE IGBOS ALONE.
LEAVE US , ALONE.....
IF U SEE IGBOs don't DATE.....

IGBO weddings are expensive..

ITS NOT BY COMPULSION, DAT u marry them.

Hausas marry from their TRIBE ,yet nobody TALKS.
yorubas marry from their TRIBE, yet people are mute.
BUT when it is IGBO, people start GRUMBLING..

My advice to her is mind ur business. Focus on getting ur own guy to marry u, if u have one.

comment reserved!!

Parents. (usually the fathers object to marrying outside Anambra) it does not apply to every anambra person. I personally hate it when I tell a lady I'm from anambra and she goes bananas


But this thread will further discourage our non-anambra sisters na, Nne you no try o.

Funny I was just about starting a thread on this.

Igbos are generally stiff but the Anambrans take the cake. Those ones will not even marry outside Anambra sef (if possible their LGA) not to talk of crossing Igbo. Abomination! Only very few exposed Anambrans have been able to marry out of Anambra after fighting through heavy resistance from their nuclear and extended families.

My favourite SE states are Imo and Enugu. Very liberal people.

CHM11:
Dear OP, please leave igbos alone if you are not igbo. Let them keep marrying themselves, its better for them.

I just pity peeps who date igbos!!,..especially igbos who live or have lived in the east...how do you cope with them??

Had to live amongst some east-based igbo guys and ladies during my NYSC..... Worst experience of my life...

How does your answer relate to the subject at hand

Really it is biblical to marry your tribe so that all your blessings will remain on the land/tribe which God has blessed you with. But these days, because of canal, we are modernizing/ trivializing instructions of God to our biblical fathers.

bigfrancis21:


Igbo bashing has become quite a common thing in Nigeria such that it has become normal to bash Igbo on every single thing, even on things that are meaningless.

You created this thread to ask why Igbo prefer to marry from their tribe. Are you really serious? This is a question you opened this thread for looking for 'answers'? Would you have opened this very thread in the first place had a Yoruba or Hausa guy been the one who preferred to marry from their tribe? Yes or No? Why would a Yoruba parent reject a non-yoruba suitor, and that will not be an issue. In fact, such action is justified. A Hausa parent will do the same and no dust will be raised about it. But when an Igbo parent does the same, then its a big deal. It is a serious issue that calls for serious attention and criticism, then you begin to get tags like ''Igbos are 'tribalistic'', 'they are 'selfish'', it is an 'Igbo problem' e.t.c. Minor issues that aren't issues when done by other tribes become a serious issue when Igbo is involved.

I look around me, majority Ibibios marry within the Ibibio tribe, majority Hausas marry within Hausa, Yoruba within Yoruba, why should the Igbo marrying within themselves even be a question in the first place? Despite the level of inter marriage between whites and blacks here in the US, majority whites marry within whites, chinese within chinese, blacks within blacks, and you're going to sit there and tell me that it is a problem when Igbos prefer to marry Igbos?? Like seriously??

I get your point about love being the most important factor between 2 people from different tribes and there are marriages between Igbo men and non-Igbo women however majority Igbos don't need to look outside for love when they can find it within themselves. The same love you mentioned as important, Igbo men get it from within the tribe. Why look outside? What about culture preservation and values? Why should Igbo preferring to marry from within even be an issue in the first place when other tribes are doing the same? Is the creation of this thread even justified in the first place?

Tomorrow you're going to open another thread asking 'Why do Igbo people speak Igbo?' Like seriously??

Stop sounding pathetic like you are courting sympathy.....dont read too much meaning to things

Your friend or you?

My elder brother(Anambra) got married to a woman from Crossriver.

I don't even know where mine will come from. Maybe Imo or Edo or Kaduna...


What the op stated can be found in every tribe. "To whom brain is given, common sense is expected".

Wetyn consign you for their matter amebo

The truth is that Igbos are highly tribalistic. No tribe does it better. They are the best in their own eyes. Others are bad, hausas are illiterates, Yorubas are dirty. All sort of things you hear from them. That feature of them is a clear a position of their tribalism life. The day an Igbo rule Nigeria, we are finish.

One Company on Allen Avenue in Ikeja here, does not only teach his Igbo brothers that other tribes are bad, especially Yorubas, it also ensure that other tribes are like Isrealites in Goshen. Too bad for who create this mentality in them.

Quote me and.........

Ehen! I really need an answer to this o. That is how my bobo left me high and dry and port all because he's from Anambra and in from another part of Igbo land.
I just don't understand.

And how e take concern u??
