stopthecycle: The issue of tribal bigotry when it comes to marriage should never be underestimated! Let d woman born 7 children for d man, it doesn't count to them. Perhaps u may take a cue from peter (p-square) okoye's wedding to Lola and d aftermath with d okoye family. Bigots will forever be bigots irrespective of education/wealth! |

tosyne2much:some people are not just matured by brother...common sense should teach rhat there exist good and bad people in every tribe... sometimes I see our Christian practises as rubbish and gross hypocrisy...if we still judge and relate wit people on the basis of their tribe or race.... what's the meaning of being a Christian then...claiming to walk in love... love sees no tribe, no race or defect...it sees...no family background also... 1 Like |

if I were to be in their shoes I will tell my parents that I am not getting married if it's not him. when you stay for like a year they will have no other option than to agree. on the other hand, they should be 100 sure they looove each other. as for getting pregnant before marriage, they should not try it cos if they do and they finally get married, they might begin to blame each other, by saying after all you suggested I get pregnant. if I had known and bla bla bla |

tosyne2much: bro...the last lady that turned me down...did so because of my tribe... she said...herr parents don't support them marrying outside their tribe...she told me her father won't bless the marriage... despite all effort to try convince..her..how much I love her.... I don't know why our people from the south east are so tribalistic when it comes to marriage... over 4 ladies I have come across right from university days all say same thing above... I have made up mind to marry from the south-south...reason because they r less tribal.... I don't wanna marry frm a family whose only tool of accessment is the tribal affliations and not character 1 Like 1 Share |

I rarely see igbos creating threads about how they were rejected by another ethnic group though many cases like that abound in real life. It is always other people creating threads about Igbo people and how we rejected them and their sad proposal. Must all of una marry Igbo? 4 Likes 1 Share |

cstr1000: nobody crave to marry igbo mind you...love is not totally predictable.... you can love anyone from any tribe...and such proposal should be assessed by the content of a man's character and not his tribe... I have seen intertribal marriages bloom and also I have seen tribal marriages bloom as well....likewise both gone the other way.... what matters is not tribe of the person you marry...but the person himself...or herself. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The lesser the difference between two people,the easier it is to adjust. When a couple � is newly wed.The husband and wife have no time for anything except each other,they shut their doors and windows and immerse themselves in a world of love ❤. But,when those windows open,the first thing to fly out is love....if u want a happy � marriage � you can't just listen � to ur heart. #staycool# |

Humility017:Then move on when the parents don't want the union. They obviously have their reasons. I know a young Igbo guy, a theoretical physicist based in the US, he was rejected by the parent of the Yoruba damsel he already wanted to marry for being igbo. The girl cried and cried , nothing. The parent were stubborn as a rock, and my guy moved on to a beautiful Igbo lady he met at a TED X conference. It is as simple as that. This thread is unnecessary, and some crazy people have used it to paint the Igbo nation as the sole patron of tribalism when we all know it cuts across. 4 Likes 1 Share |
