Did you read the post at all?

Hamachi:
The fact that people seem to think that when you marry someone, you're marrying his/her family is a very wrong mentality please...

deewhydoski:
They are not the only inconsiderate set of hypocrites, it happen to other tribes too be it Yoruba or hausa. I'm a yoruba guy, if I bring in an igbo lady, my mum will not be in support of her at first but if I try to convince her she may change her mind. So it doesn't happen to only igbos alone, also to other tribes.

StubbornGENIUS:
Anywhere will suffice for now.How can parents dictate the life of a grown man who is obviously old enough to marry?

kiddoiLL:
Op na my friend story you don come write here as yours??

I've been in a very serious relationship with an Igbo guy. He's nice, handsome and we've been dating for 2 years. He talked about me meeting his family and I was very excited little did I know that it would turn out to be my worse nightmare.

I met his mum and she seemed really nice, but her attitude changed when she realized I'm a Yoruba girl. She immediately told me to my face that I can't marry her son. Her reasons weren't clearly stated but she said she doesn't like the Yoruba people. My heart melted, hot tears rolled down from my eyes; I'm Yoruba and I'm in love with an Igbo "mummy's boy".

I spoke with him about it and he keeps assuring me that it would be fine. It's been almost 2 years now and the family are still not in support of our union. Every time I try to move on he comes begging that everything would be fine and that we will get married. I really love this guy, why I love him I don't know because clearly he hasn't done anything to deserve my heart but... He doesn't have a good paying job yet, so I carter for most of his financial needs and even send some food to his village during festivity.

Just recently his mother called my parents to tell them that I can't get married to her son and asked that I should be warned to stay off her son.

He has travelled to his village for a week now and honestly I don't know where I stand... I really love him but what do I do?

my younger brother's girlfriend is Yoruba, and a Muslim.

Being Igbo, I know the uphill task his have facing me, but I've already told my parents long ago, they're not messing with my younger brothers's love life, he said, "he have zero qualms cutting anyone off if they try to interfere".

You never jam, you are still naive. Marriage is bond between families thicker than all these your 'nollywood initial gragra romance'.

When the dust settles, your eye go clear. Any relationship that is not supported by the elders in that family is as good as 'lagos marriage', na kpangolo marriage be that.

Pojomojo:
Lol! If you marry a man without his mother's approval, be ready for the war

But if his mother tells me we can't marry because they're Igbo,my dad is Igbo, if they're Yoruba,my mum's Yoruba, if they're Hausa,my grandma's Hausa.
Let's see how far she can shift goal post.

My elder brother married a Yoruba woman from Ondo,my mother wanted to play the tribe card but when she saw that my brother doesn’t even care and we the siblings supported his decision. She backed out. Mother’s have power but this is dependent on your boyfriend

dashpee:
quit and get someone that loves everything about you, because marriage is life, better a broken relationship...be warned

@obelz, probably its bcus of d way u presented ursef to her,maybe as a love peddler or goldigger and dropped d bomb dat ur yoruba(its common dt yoruba women are promiscuous)no responsible mother would allow her son marry such, tlk more of an igbo woman.if u gt my point

femmoy:
don't u know the igbos hate Yoruba for no reason? my sincere advise to u as a sister is to move ahead,look for another guy (preferably a Yoruba guy). stop wasting ur time dating the flat headed pigs cos they are good for nothing.

OBelz:
Thank you Sir.

ericoleon:
babe, STOP GIVING HIM MONEY but do break up with him. this will let u know if he truly loves u or if he is just for the money (e get why). Make sure the mum never gets a dime from u.

yazga:
I am convinced that the Igbos are the most inconsiderate set of hypocrites. How can your mother be the one to decide your fate or choose who to marry? Not even at the start of the relationship? Over two years and your Mom is influencing your decision?. op please leave !!
