I love inter-tribal marriages and it has thus far worked perfectly in my family. It's super cool to have Yoruba, Hausa,Ewe, Fante/ashanti, Itskekiri, Ijaw,Igala etc aunties, uncles and cousins and in-laws. Family reunions are always a blast.

same here...i am idoma married to ashanti, my siblings are married to igbos and igalas, my late elder brother had a liberian wife...
my cousins are married to deltans and from kogi...
the variety is really exciting. Family reunion is always a blast

Nwanne forget that thing, ur time pass. Na management u dey.

Ur sister that i married and stare into her eyes every night, gives me that impression that without her brother, lover and best friend, she will not be satisfied spiritually.

Our love making is spiritual, complete bonding on a brotherly level, as lovers and then as peers.


U mumus sold out for material things. U are the biblical Esau that sold his birthright to jacob for a dish of pottage.


Running around with kids answering Kunle whilst u answer ifunanya.


Ur igbo but your children are yorubas. Total disconnect.


i guess it is really a material world.


It is so much fun in our marriage having a break from English atimes and speak igbo to each other.

Now ur here fighting us, like we send una message.

Did we ask u lot to be gold digging whores? Make una just take una time, we feel ur painment.

Read from Page 0-7, and all was just being emotional about the tribal and inter-tribal thing...
U fail to ask and answer one question, What makes people marry out of their tribe or insist on getting married to their tribe ?... I think the answer to that question supersedes all your comment here.

Am opportune to be from an extended family with most of them living in different cities and country.. What I can deduct from most marriages is that people tends to marry from the environment the grew up or marry to people who share same career or business.

We have yoroubas, Hausas,efiks,Canadians,indians, and off course Igbos and the only marriage which seems to have broken up with irreconcilable difference is the one of same village.

So it boils down to where did u grow up and what type of people did u meet why growing up....That's the answer of who one might marry tomorrow notwithstanding their parents approval or not.

Most of my family members married people from where they grew up and their marriages went well.

So tribe or No tribe plays little role in happiness in marriage but understanding of the two families involved and off course the couple involved is the ultimate thing .

My sister was born and had all her secondary education In Anambra and Imo state though she is from Anambra.. A time came when she came for visit in Lagos... An influencial and highly moral yorouba man saw her and did all he can to marry her but she refused... Even when her siblings and parents gave a go ahead to marry but she refused cause she believes stereotypes about yorouba might be true... Anyway the guy in question is now a professor in London and also a pastor there but my sis ended up marrying a guy based here in the village his house is a stone throw...
And guess whats her argument is, She knows little or Nothing about yoroubas and not ready to learn in marriage, so its better she marries to where she understands better.
And till today she never regrets her decision even though husband is broke and struggling.

So tonye it all boil down to where ur kids grow up and the kind of association they met while growing..

One of my relatives swore she won't marry an Igbo man, lol.. And she waited till around 29 before getting married to a yorouba against her parent approval... Guess what.... She never lived in Igbo land and always talk about igbo men being ritualist and always care about money. Same goes to many people who married inter-tribaly..

So pls let's learn to appreciate those that are into inter-tribal marriage cos we don't know what they went through before making such decision.

As for me I don't support inter tribal marriage cos I can't be speaking igbo to an igbo man especial male and his reply will be in english or he says he don't understand what am saying just because his parents are inter-tribal ... To me is an Efulefu(Lost One) cos that Generation is Lost in Language and culture completely.

freshvine:
I see a disconnect Here!

All the igbo ladies commenting here are married to Yoruba men and they're proud of their marriage but not a single igbo man here relating to marrying a yoruba lady.

What's the problem?

Because Igbo see marrying out as a thing not to be proud of
