Hmm

The fact that you are a graduate, make things more complicated.

Don't you think that as a graduate u'r been unfair to her yet u claim to love her

How will u react, if another man dose this to ur sister, and that your sister seems to be ur elder sis?

Note:- not my business duo
Or are you trying to claim your family house as the first son "in this modern days"

3ace:
That's good-it makes the job easier. Tell her she can also confirm this from her own parents or you can discuss with her parents about the issue. I'm sure they will share the same view with your mother and advise your fiancee accordingly. This to me is a simple issue.

Cutehector:
and how old is ur fiancee?

abdrazak:

She is clocking 24.

Abdulrazak, I come from a culture similar to yours and as far as I am concerned, It makes no sense BUT she has to do as your mum says. I call ALL my siblings-in-law bro... or sis... Ironically, I am older than ALL of them. It doesn't remove one strand of hair from my body but breeds peace, IMO

Speak with your girl. I'm sure she's of your language too, she should understand.

babygirlfl:
op, how do you come up with these hilarious posts?

In less than one month you have asked us if you should invite her to your sisters introduction. Then you asked about how you can protect her from her boss before telling us that she broke up with you and asked if you can accept her back. Now the problem is calling your brother "brother".

bukatyne:


This is called 'a fun-filled relationship'

As you rightly said "some women". Hypocrisy is not limited to one culture. I'm not a fan of the practice but its what I was born into. So if you have a MIL that is still faithful to the old culture, then the DIL needs to do same. If she doesn't, His mother might end up not liking her or faulting her every action. Especially if the MIL is a sucker for respect. She sees the suffix as a form of respect.

It is hypocrisy but can you tell the woman that??

SAMBARRY:
I've seen some women calling their husbands siblings who they're obviously older than aunty kemi brother Isaac and at their back gossip about them and say all manners of things they can't say in their presence or in the presence of their mother inlaw e.g omo oshi yen to pe ara e ni issaac omo yen stupid gan mo kan ponle ni kan ma somilenu




if thats not hypocrisy.tell me what it is

funlord:

Even if your brothers name is "busta rhymes ebele toyota beyonce"

abdrazak:

Really got your point. I will take a bold step.
Nope. I'm not claiming my father's house. I am planning on settling down where I am working
NB: Not of the same city oooooo.

You obviously support your family's decision. Good luck to your fiancee

cococandy:
wetin I do?

freecocoa:
Nothing. You are cute.

freecocoa:
Sholly, does this happen everywhere with the Yoruba tribe? I need to know.

cococandy:
thanks.

cococandy:

I don't think it does.
I've read some posters say their families don't care about such things.
I guess it depends on how traditional each family is.

If I wasn't married and I met a man who's family require that I call even junior ones (younger than me) aunty or uncle, I'd probably give all of them the middle finger and tell him to find someone else.

Shollypopzz:


I'm not the right person to ask but I am sure the mindset or lack thereof has a qqlot to do with age, educational background, exposure and social status.

freecocoa:
Oh! My bad, being yoruba I just assumed...

The fact that many people on here (even the ones in diaspora) seem to agree with the culture, makes me wonder.
