False.. If you like marry from even your family, when there is no love, no sense, no maturity and no money... Marital travails will continue abated

This issue of loss grandson won't be there if he didn't go all the way to Benin to marry

Thank God it's not the Emeka Ike I know.
Rest In Peace to the Dead

We know Prof. Chukwuemeka Ike who authored amazing and ageless literary works like "Bottled Leopard" and "The Potter's Wheel"!!!... Who the Fvck is Emeka Ike??!

What kind nonsense be this,throne giving by white men,does igbo have kingship no,anybody can have the throne ,this is why if you are in this kind level of throne thing,marry from your town not going in faraway Benin for search of marriage.

See your level of reasoning, do you think that both families are hungry?

alfasexy:

Yes, but your children will be more retarded.

how?

Sirheny007:
Oh God!
The brilliant class of 1930's children has come to a close!
Some of his works I shall never forget:
The Bottled Leopard
Toads for Supper
Sunset at dawn
Expo '77

I was particularly intrigued with The Bottled Leopard about the light it shed on reincarnation.
He never had to confirm if ever it was real or not leaving the reader to find out for himself. A style that has never been replicated in contemporary literature. Rest in Peace Chukwuemeka Ike.

Even if you do not have an heir to the throne, your name shall never be lost because in the annals of African Literature, your name will be writ large.

I fear for the future generations with regards to African and Nigerian literature...

I pray many follow in the fine steps of Adichie.

alfasexy:

Yes, but your children will be more retarded.

how?

Ojiofor:


It's a lie. If he had married from his village he won't be looking for his offspring before he died.

Is there a statistics for this?
What's the probability?
This case is an outlier.
What if the child had died at birth?

The problem is from the prof who's got just a child...

Na today them start inter tribal marriage?

That's really sad! With the way things have turned out, will it not be wise to choose a king from another family... the boy must have been brainwashed by the mum's family and may not be interested or rooted in the culture of the father land. If only the son was alive, by now he would have married again and forgotten the Benin woman.....

babyfaceafrica:


How is he right?... Look people find love in a lot of places, what if I can't find love in my village or tribe, I shouldn't shouldn't shouldn't marry?... Let us pray to marry the right person

I think many people didn't note that Professor Ike married a Yoruba lady and only death has separated them.

They were a couple I admired.

You have ancestors' wisdom.

Ojiofor:

That's so true!
It's the father that taught him inter- tribal marriage, and the king did not even think of marrying another woman since his wife only bore one child for him.

Prof's case will not deter me from marrying my Edo (Esan) babe!


RIP to the dead

Na marriage within same village/community issues no dey abi? Did the late king himself marry from his village? Is his wife not yoruba and she stayed with him till death. Nobody knows it all

NDIOGAH:
marrying from your village/community is advisable, but this coconut generation dont listen.

The literary book we read when I was in ND 1 federal polytechnic Ede, 'conspiracy of silence' will surely remain evergreen In my memory. May His soul rest in perfect peace.

You just said the word! I wish you both well jor

'1930's kids '...I like that line..a lot of those guys that went to school were brilliant

A 21 year old is not a child.

He can go to his grandparents if he wants to.

Hahha bottled Amotekun, great work by his late Highness. RIP
Amotekun = Leopard

Oh RIP our literature hero. A man who blessed my generation with some great literature books. Bottled leopard comes to mind that book was full of great humour by the author.
Rest on sir....i think his works are underrated or maybe his generation of authors were just above in the realm of literature.

Hope all the girls in your village that are married are still in their husband's house?

Osagyefo98:
The Great Iroko has fallen!

HRH Prof Chukwuemeka Ike is dead.

Words can't describe this man... His death is a big loss to the literary world, to his community Ndikelionwu, the entire Anambra State.
THE BOTTLED LEOPARD was amongst his popular works..
He died at 88!

May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

take it from me.if the grandson is truly thier grandson ,he will trace his root back home as long as he is alive.

if the late guy is a prof and a king and coulod not get his grandaon back for 10years.no one should bother again.

friends when you marry a wife,now make it clear to her and her family in writing that she comes to ur house with no kids and when she is leaving she leaves with no kids and always prepare for whan the spouse will walk away.and please they do have the right to take a walk.

the boy should come out and take his throne

Sounds like a Nollywood scrip only that the native doctor that will look inside a big bowl to see where the boy is( usually carrying firewood with his poor mother) is missing here.
Last watch Nollywood during living in bondage era.

#FACT!!


Inter-tribal and interracial marriages come with too many bagages that many humans cannot handle at the long run.


Single ladies and guys reading, avoid yourself all these marital troubles, reduce the risk of marital failure and misdemeanor, marry from your tribe, if possible from your community or closest community that share similar culture, tradition, values and of course religious belief with you.

Stop trying to invent love or rediscover what has been discovered, marry from your tribe and religion and save yourself a lot of stress

Prof thought he is too learned and have overcome tribe, belief, etc...and he went about marrying anyhow and also allowed his son to marry anyhow, now look at where it landed him and his entire family


Don't be more western than the West.....use your brains, being educated, exposed and rich does not exempt you from the laws of tradition and humanity.

A legend is gone.

The bottled leopard is my favorite.
The writing style, it connects with you as if you're sitting before the ancients.

RIP Prof Chukwuemeka Ike

I can't stop kicking against inter tribal marriage.

Marry your own tribe and enjoy same culture and believe.
