50% of marital problem is solved when you marry from your village

Wrong!
The dead king and his wife seem to have a marriage lasting the lifetime of the king.

Wrong spouses are everywhere! Open your eyes

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

I quite agree with him , not all problems will seize but it will be easier to resolve

The two families concerned are not in anyway poor.

LadySarah:
So what will happen if another becomes king.?
Im sorry about his situation but some traditions has to be changed.

If you want to laugh your heads off, read his recent work,the potters wheel.

Rip Sir

I think in mosts parts of the world where monarchy is practiced, there always solutions to situations like this.

But you saying some traditions has to change makes no sense at all, you have no right to ask for or even say that.

Who made you the decider of what traditions to stay and one to change?

People of today, due to their supposed wokeness that's turning the world upside down, keep giving suggestions where their opinions are useless, they want to fight for everything both what they know and what they don't.

AyakaDunukofia:
A sad loss indeed!! God is so Good the young generation of Igbo writers are quickly filling the void created by the out-gone writers with great finesse.

Please, for the sake of the continuity of Ndikelionwu kingdom and the Ike lineage, let all parties resolve their differences and quickly allow Emeka Ike II to assume his rightful place in the royal courtyard of Ndike.

what if the boy is not interested in being confined to a local throne in one village - a 5th class throne?

Abeg . I have my own issues to think about than a vacant throne abi dem go give me

I concur!

it is like the late king's wife is yoruba.

babyfaceafrica:


In as much as I agree that love alone is never enough, I also to not subscribe to that idea that one must marry from his tribe/village alone. The world has become global now and migration is at its peak.. If I can't find my village gal to marry where I go hustle, won't I marry another person I connect with?

Yea the world is a global village but the wickedness that people exudes now is just much,just imagine this one now.if you know the background of your would-be spouse it solves 1001 issues concerning marriage. Some of the problems people face generally are oftentimes root related but we keep on shouting love asikwa love asighi. My daddy will often tell I and my sister that if we like we should decide to marry from the end of the world that he must go and ask first about the immediate family of our would-be spouse.that iju ase in igboland for instance shows that background is important in marriage.Love matters but it is very quick to disappear in an unconducive environment. Marry from your village,state or tribe even religion sef it helps solves mall small matters first.i have my values as an Igbo lady and a Yoruba lady or Hausa lady has their own values too and so are the men too.I will align easily with my Igbo in-laws easier than a Yoruba in-laws, there are exceptions anyway shaa.anyway we all have preferences and choices but I just said my mind.

OdefaGirl:


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.

Do you know if they both decided to have one child or he is the one at fault hence the wife could not conceive again
He loved his wife so why should he marry someone else? If na you you go like am if your husband marry someone else because you can't give him another child
What is wrong with inter tribal marriages aunty?

Jman06:
Prof's case will not deter me from marrying my Edo (Esan) babe!



RIP to the dead

Abi marry from anywhere jare so far love dey

lastempero:
Do they practice monarchy system of kingship in Ndikelionwu kingdom.

We don't! I wonder why they wrote that his son is the rightful heir to the throne of Ndikelionwu. The King makers will decide on another king from Ike or Mbonu families, that how it has always been.

seniormallam:
She brought Benin tradition to Igbo land....... Oba don't see eye to eye with the heir to the throne until the Oba is late.

is that so? His son can't see him anymore?

Don't worry the heir will appear.
Trust women she is monitoring everything happening and will tell her son the story.

I am suspecting I am the heir though as my mother's story are inconsistent

Hisduchess:


Everything is love for this our generation, they believe that once you love someone everything automatically balances but I laugh in Swahili shaa

Marrying someone from your village or tribe does not guarantee a happy marriage. True love, compatibility and understanding is what makes a happy marriage. You may not believe in true love, but it exist and it never dies.

Caseless:

Yes she is

I totally agree with you and your dads views especially the iju ase tradition. It saves a lot of troubles.
This modern generation will be shouting Love but many can't maintain marriages.

The ancient pathways laid out by the elders, are still the safest paths to follow.

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

very true, when u marry from ur village, ur in-laws r always nearby so the man or woman will think twice before misbehaving and family members are always near enough for quick intervention if need be. for example in my village in idoma land, it is believed that if a woman commits adultery, she will die of a mysterious illness, her husband too will die and the male children too, i use to have this promiscuous babe, she fvcked all my village friends and some cousins, to my surprise she was adamant the last time we met, infact she refused to meet in a private place, I later learnt someone had paid some money on her head for marriage, I gave this instance to my neighbour but she laugh it off as superstition, her hubby is southern Kaduna while she is plateau, she fvcks around whenever he goes on special duty.

What is wrong with inter tribal marriages aunty?

See, there's a big difference between an ordinary Igbo man and a King in Igbo land.....the first wife accepts wholeheartedly if the king wishes to have as many wives as possible. He is a king and would need an heir some day.
As for what's wrong with inter-tribal marriage??... nothing, until something like this happens.

God bless you for that last line.we feel that their ways are archaic and unsafe not knowing that ours is the unsafe one

Osagyefo98:




Pure Fact.

Such scenerio won't have occurred if they have married from their community.

You nailed it with that your statement.

Even if they married from same community, the heir/boy could still be in America never to set foot on the soils of his village again.
When the boy is ready, he will come back home to trace his father's people. Though that doesn't mean he will want to take up the throne of his forefathers.

Not every body live in the village.

And fyi where i am from is not a village... Its a city.

Faithemike:
Is the late man's wife from his village? Is she not yoruba too abi you no read the story finish?

LOL... From your few replies I can deduce that your from edo..
Just calm down you hear.. My own is let the edo woman let sleeping dogs lie and release her son to take his throne.. ..After all they are all family.

shadeyinka:

Wrong!

Wrong spouses are everywhere! Open your eyes

Exactly. His queen doesn't seem to be from his village, and they've been together for donkey years.

When did igboland start having kingship aunty I thought the igbo system was more acephalous and republican than any.When did igbos start having kings?

What if the fertility issue is the kings fault should the Queen cheat on him since according to you there is a difference and the man should not love his wife but marry another did they not have an heir they had a child and were not childless now so what has happened after that.

Even if he married an igbo woman from his village a bad wife will always be a bad wife and will still do worse if she wants to.

Stop playing tribal sentiments because I have seen couples from the same place with many issues worse than this.Nothing is wrong with inter tribal marriages you don't tell people whom to love is the late man's wife not Yoruba why did she not abandon him and take their son away?Since inter tribal marriages things like this are bound to hapoen
So life happens anywhere

Rest in peace, sir.

He was one of my favorite novelists.

the king should have gotten another wife to avoid this situation. Maybe he had health that prevented him from doing so.

Other RHs spend ample time to make
numerous number of children
during their reign.

You?

You read so tey you no remember
say you no get successor.

Who tha fvck does that?

Abeg,pass the stool to someone
who has plan and conscious of
continuity.

I disagreed bro it depend on family beside some tribe infact my own tribe from the East are the major problem in Nigeria intermarriage due to unecessary tribal hatred.

I know some bollocks descedant of hitler will go any lenght to make sure that boy never return. The beautiful free hearted Monarch married a Yoruba woman(Adebimpe) and their only son married Edo woman pls lets stop pretending they won't want that boy back because tribal hate brew in our gene. Truth is bitter.

Only God knows the immense presure the king must have gone through and only God knows what the hell the Edo woman faced before she ran for her life forever. Truth is bitter we know ourselves with our strange tribal hatred.

I know I have offended them and bruisec their ugly heads but i give no damn i will say the truth till i breath no more that boy wont be allow to mount the throne quote me in the next feew weeks that i said so. Ordinary marriage between unknown people that involved Igbo and other tribe its a war talkless of a king I'm a living witness and I know what I'm saying.

Over to the angry and bruised ones.

Caseless:

But the king had a son now.

What if it is the kings fault the health issue you mentioned
Or what if they decided to have one the king had no problem with it or loved his wife dearly not to think of marrying another

So many questions
