The main tribalists in Nigeria are igbos and hausas.
I suspect the yoruba refused because igbo is involved, no one likes them at home and abroad! Another tribe and they might consider.

There will be another civil war in nigeria against igbos, marry one at your own risk!
Dumb post!

Love knows no tribe nor stereotype.

Bunch of racists and tribalists. People like them have no space in my family.

Bros those same family members are the ones u will disturb when things ain't going right. Who takes care of ur kids after u death or incapable?
Thank u. Thats what they dont understand.
I know a gal who made same mistake.
She flouted her parents orders not to marry the guy..
But later in the marriage the guy turned a violent woman beater and a serial cheater.

The gal had no option than to return home.
Buy the father r3jected her. And pusshed her out till today.

What if both parents are late do dey still need blessings.

I still don't understand why A GROWN UP MAN will give his family members the chance to sit down to decide or discredit whom he should marry or what tribe he should marry, on the ground of stereotypes and tribalism . It's nauseating I must say
very nauseating... Let me see any of my parents that will tell me that rubbish.. No support for them again

Re: How To Convince Parents That Tribe Doesn't Matter In Marriage? by Adebowale89(m):
Nigerian parent with their mentality but if we bring oyinbo wife/husband they we welcome it warmly even if they are old


my dad always state this fact, if u like marry Hausa, igede, Igbo, efik or nupe but at least she must possessed a degree in a tertiary institution

I know it will definitely be the mother that will oppose it, men hardly have problem when it comes to marriage. my Mom once oppose to getting married to Igbo but when she meet my girl and having close relation, she agreed and fall in love with her


for the fact that some Yoruba has done sth wrong to u, doesn't mean they're all bad and samething as Igbo. different people with different character&different
background


op, am sure the both awaiting bride and groom didn't have any close relations with the parent before proposing a marriage. in a inter tribal marriage, longtime close relation is important to the parents of both parties

it is not just tribe that matters in marriage both faith counts, hardly for a catholic to marry none catholic or for Jehovah witness to marry none member. but for tribe, i think it depends on family concern. some families dont just bother. but all the same Love wins at the end

Love is never enough. If the family you are marrying into give you hell eeeh,you go renounce love by force. Family support is needed in marriage especially for the lady because men too dey Bleep up. And if you add the difference in language,custom;prostrate, call a boy/girl you fit born uncle/auntie, Omo Ibo nickname etc. It doesn't worth the stress. Convince your parents or find another person. Or you can wait,after like 3-5 years they may agree as they see their daughter aging without getting married.

Dearlord:
they should know the reason behind their objections and if found to be of greater help or importance to their future then, they should desist from the attempts and if the reasons are insufficient to their conviction, then they should be responsible for their future and build on a solid marriage anchored with positive mind.
Best response. God bless you. The reason must be genuine, otherwise go ahead and marry her. With parental consent marriages still crash, without parental consent marriages last long. It depends on the two people involved.
As a country (black people), we are too stereotyped. In western worlds, two adult usually makes the decision without parental influence. Parental blessing and family support is overrated.

Ondo state yorubas are more liberal than those of osun, oyo and oguns......they even encourage such inter-tribal marriages between themselves and other tribes especially igbos, edos, but not with Hausa and fulanis, if you try ahm, na your own wahala be that.

Re: How To Convince Parents That Tribe Doesn't Matter In Marriage? by Icon79(m): 3:59pm On Oct 17, 2017
As the Spanish people would say, 'the couple owns the marriage, the family owns the wedding'. So just tell them, "It's your wedding, our marriage". Their job in the whole thing was to plan the wedding .... everything about whom to marry and when to marry should be left for the couple to decide.

Let them tell their folks in actions and in words that they(the couple) are not seeking anyone's permission to get married, they are only informing family members because courtesy demands they do so.
