Please pardon my grammatical errors.
There's this lady I met during her service year in 2017. We got talking (mostly online) and late 2018 I requested her to be my girlfriend which she agreed. From that period till now, we have been in love with each other.
This lady have normally supports me when am down financially and have also shown great respect for me. I discussed marriage with her and she happily told me that she would love to be with me.
But the problem is this. I introduced her to my family and to my greatest surprise my mum showed interest on her, even telling me that she likes her. But my dad frown on my decision to marry her. When I asked why, he told me that ladies from imo state don't stay in marriage. To be Honest with you guys, I have been hearing stuffs like this. Why is it so? There was a day I brought up the issue with her but she just laughed and told me that it depends on indivisual. Please those that are familiar with ladies from imo state should clarify me on this. I really love her and I have interest to marry her. Thanks.
Note: it's not as if anyone can stop me from getting Married to her. Am just scared about all these "imo ladies don't stay in marriage"

That pretty, hardworking, intelligent, smart and caring girl don't deserve to marry in your family.
Una fit contaminate that girl with these una naive reasoning.

I heard Imo have the highest number of hotels and oloshos in Nigeria

Then you are weak. You never really loved her. You just wasted her time. Why not rewrite your own love story with her rather than using old manuscripts to damage a new love.

Better don't waste her time if you aren't ready

My mum is from Imo.

She has been married to my dad for 30 years.

I hope that's reason enough not to be stereotypical.

Op is a lair e don chop her tire so he's looking for an excuse to dumb her

Stereotyping is evil.

I'm very sure your father would cuss at a foreigner who'd describe him as a scamming fraudulent Nigerian.

I'd advise you to follow your heart and do the needful with this "good girl" you've described.

Just imagine that you hearken unto your father's ignorance and she moves on to the next lucky guy immediately and then say, a month later, your dad who has lived a better part of his life transitions to the great beyond, wetin you go do?

You better live your life by your terms.

Not at all. I truly love her OK

I very much appreciate your replies to me, am not weak neither am I deceiving her, I truly love her. But we all know that relationship is not marriage. Just like as I said, i want to marry her. Am not deceiving her. God bless you all as I await more comments. Thanks

My opinion: more often this belief of this people behaves this way is thrash , it is dependent on the individual..
Used to have that mindset until it was a fellow from a tribe I formally despised due to lack of knowledge and being unethical was one who helped me like a brother.
I have this associate from mbaise in imo state, people normally take them as one of the worst in Igbo race, but dude is more honest and transparent than I am, anybody I refer him to is always happy with him and gives out good remarks about him ... point am trying is to make it doesn’t matter tribe, ethnicity, race ... if you love her ... love always covers a lot of things
