kcee14 , I don't think there is anything wrong with mbaise people but there is a proverb that says, if you see a snake and mbaise man in your house you should first kill the mbaise man before killing the snake because the mbaise man is more dangerous .

so for the above reason, I don't know if I should blame your parent or praise them.

Sister I would advice u to heed to ur parents advice


You are definitely entering a one chance marriage


Mbaise men are wayward...u dated him for three years..u still don't know much about him


u will regret ever marrying a guy from there...my word of advice

Don't mind this one. Every tribe has the good, the bad and the ugly.
Don't run on stereotypes

Sit them down and ask why?

People these days can't talk and sort out things physically, instead they run to social media to ask from people.


Ask them please.

You dont know some parents will not give you any tangible answer, they will just be shouting and cursing

Let her ask somebody, no knowledge is a waste

They are nice people though, had same misconception about them until I met someone from there who changed and cleared every bit of doubts I had.

Ask your parents their reasons for rejecting your suitor

I am a girl of 26 years from Delta state. I have a guy I have been dating for close to 3years now and he is from mbaise. My guy told me that he is coming for introduction and I told my parents about it and they said over their dead body will they allow me marry from mbaise. Please,is anything wrong with Mbaise? Are there ladies here that are married to mbaise men and living happily. Please, I am really sad now. I need advice and answers

There's nothing with with Mbaise people. Only thing I don't like about them is their high bride price.

The dislike for Mbaise people developed when someone made a song decades ago dissing them, saying first kill a Mbaise man before you kill a snake.

I have friends and Christian brothers and sisters who are Mbaise and they are lovely people. I used think terribly about Tiv people based on whatthe Idomas said about them. However when I actually interacted with them, I discovered they were some of the nicest people around.

Your parents are being very petty. They'll give in if he is persistent. He should be diplomatic about it and feel the atmosphere with laughter when meeting your folks and perhaps a things for them. Persistence is the key. Discrimination against them is simply a misconception and not based on hard evidence.

I hope he is a good guy. Wish you the best

In Yoruba land, if you bring an Ijebu man home to be introduced to your parents, especially in parts of Ondo and Ekiti, I can assure you won't get your parents blessings.

I will just tell you a simple story that connotes the story....
A man from my kindred married an Mbaise is woman at early 80's and this woman made the husband not to look after her biological mum and siblings nor come home.. she successfully made the husband to avoid home,village meeting with our people in town nor associate with his kinsmen... This man built Manson for the wife's family and train up the wife's siblings.. he will cross my town and went to the wife's side to spend some popular festive season..
Lol and behold,he got sick (stroke) and this foolish woman abandoned him and move with the two girls she has with the man.. then wealthy man was brought home in shame and was burried in a compound without good building cause the family is doing in Poverty.....
Till today that Mbaise woman has not crossef my village neither the family which the man race and made what they are....


Another one is when I was in 200L,I dated one girl from same Mbaise,she always threaten me with death and always deadly with evil violent whenever I had issue with her not untill o unleash my anger and made her go her separate way by force.....

So your parents might have their own reason ...
But that doesn't mean that all are bad...

At 26, is no longer a playful thing o. may be wen u turn 28/30 they will now ask u to bring anyone, but in other hand i think ur parent are relying on historical background of Mbaise people, I believe if its #Davido or #phyno that intended to come for introduction, such parent will not look were he came from.

Don't listen to your parents in this situation because they are old and out of touch with life, they are still holding on to some past traditional beliefs and myths that Mbaise people are cunning, that ancient Mbaise people do eat human being, that Mbaise people killed a white missionary and hung his bicycle on a tree to avoid the bicycle from running back to whiteman's land to inform the whitemen....


And there is a popular phrase that says: if you see an Mbaise man and a snake, that you should kill Mbaise man first before the snake, and that phrase was culled from a hate or let me say revenge song sang by an aggrieved member Dansach of Owerri based highlife music band: Oriental Brothers when the main singer and founder of the highlife band, Dr. Sir Warrior cheated him by sidelining him in money sharing which is common among musicians and their managers all over the world.

You know songs travel farther than any other thing, so that song traveled so far and made people became so conscious of Mbaise people and whatever they do...such that any little crime or bad behavior an Mbaise person commits, people tend to overblow and magnify it because they are already on censor.

Just like Ijebu, Ibadan, Ilesa, Ngwa, Fulani, etc people....these are all stereotypes based on past myths and believes of the past.


Judge people individually based on their actions, their attitudes towards you, and how they treat you, not based on what people say or what you hear.

Have your own experience....there are bad people in all communities, tribes and races.....don't let fallacies of hasty generalization based on mythological beliefs and unfounded scares to scare you away from people.


That your parents had a bad encounter with an Mbaise person is not enough reason for them to refuse you marrying an Mbaise man that loves and treats you right, open your eyes, this is 21st century.....I am sure you are not financially independent, you still depend a lot on your parents to allow their unfounded reasons to deter you from being with someone who treats you right.


Besides majority of people all over the world now no longer carry the traits of their tribe or community because most people now spend most of their lives in other cities and communities, hence, they will exhibit more of the traits of people around where they reside or live......so tell your parents you aren't marrying the man to go and live in the village with him to be farming and be dragging issues with the community people.

Or are you telling me that an Mbaise man who has lived in Canada for 20 years and gave birth in Canada, that his children born and raised in Canada will be exhibiting the over-generalized Mbaise people character

Please enlighten your parents and make them understand why they should stop reasoning like people of 1935 undecided undecided

Poor people and their irrational decisions and assumptions. Rich people and families don't have tribe or community when it comes to marriage, business or social issues, it can only exist during politics and its for their political gains. Rich families marry to grow their wealth & political dynasty without considering tribe, community, etc while the poor marry to please their ancestors & communities, and to remain in their clan & to retain their tribal heritage, which is why your parents are so fixated on past beliefs and false stereotypes about Mbaise people angry


If your parents were rich, I am sure what they will be asking u is who are his parents, what does the guy do for a living and not this; 'don't marry from Ibadan, don't marry from Ijebu'. Its only poor, unexposed families that live on these stupid assumptions/stereotypes that keep them poor and stagnant instead of thinking economically forward and capitalist, they will be focusing on stupid stereotypes that only keep them economically stagnant.

So because one old woman from Mbaise leveled an accusation against you, therefore all Mbaise people are bad....is the woman the only person that have wronged you since you were born Try and emancipate your reasoning....I just had to quote you because your comment showed your level of reasoning, exposure and status, what a shameful comment, pls purge your secluded mind so u can grow bigger shocked shocked
