shocked shocked LoL" grin at this thread though. I think its enough na lol

No one is crying because no matter how one floats in his/her tears, people will still practice inter-tribal marriage.

The say a mugu is born everyday,so as the miss-informed. No need to eFight each other, the petty rants and condescending comparison only further buttresses the point of the incompatibility of inter-tribal marriage especially from these two giant rivalry ethnic groups. grin

Its ridiculous. Y'all need to stop

You'd be wrong in that belief.
Ok, maybe, its just that I have never heard someone, just one person bear that name ever smiley except this very said girl I'm talking about and its her surname.

Are you conversant with the name being an Ngwa lady ?

Chinkata - it is Chi that will decide. Unisex.
Yes I agree, however I believe no one will bear that as a first name or middle,more like a surname .

Ok, I have to admit, I did a google search and its her surname.

I think we from the southern igboland have names that are quite similar to neighbouring ethnic groups around the bight of bonny because I'm aware only abians and perhaps some villages in the Ekoi,Efik and maybe Ibibio ethnic groups that could bear such names grin

I'm quite familiar that people from imo bear similar names like the rest of igboland both Northern and Southern axis.

Never heard of such strange names from imo though.

- The bolded is a very harsh but also very true.
- The indented like you said (and I believe) is the major reason why girls marry anyone. Also don't forget our society made it seem like a woman without a husband is useless. Another reason why females settle with people of other tribes.
True.

As much as I'd like to pretend like the many lot and swing the Oneness of us all in this country ,I cannot negate the many vile escapades, bad ordeals and the realistically harsh truth that even the ones that claim to be the most educated elites in our country are caught up in this web of tribal segregation as evident in our mainstream economic and political body.

Why should marriage be any different ?

I mean, it can be viewed individually and hence people can live as one together with their nuclear family and get all sweet and what not, but that would be a superficial and selfish reason in itself bearing the huge hole of difference in us because the values in the mind's eye of surrounded ,extended family of yours and that around would always differ. Why should anyone go through that curse of living in the name of being one.

We can live together in peace knowing and identifying the differences in us separately. Not tied to each other and still be our on enemy. Look around you, we can't entirely say we are one, be frank with your self.

As far as I'm concerned Racism carries a larger problem than Tribalism and I am no Racist as I can and even prefer to marry a foreigner more than some non igbo Nigerians, I'm sorry,its just my individual preference, I don't care whether she's white,green or even beige so long as she's christian, with recognised values/culture and tradition,I'm ok.

Its just skin color difference to me, but with tribe ? A whole lot of diversity in way of life and traditions with strange beliefs that scare me.

No offence to anyone/tribe or people of 9ja smiley

babyosisi:
Say what?
They are very polygamous and it is very acceptable in their culture
Christians and Muslims
Having babies outside of wedlock is not a big deal in the Yoruba culture
It is uncommon to see a Yoruba person that doesn't have step brothers and sisters ,Christians and Muslims
Their wives and parents will even sew asho ebi and follow for the naming ceremony of the mistress' baby
Infact a mistress who conceives and bears a child automatically becomes equivalent to a wife and can claim inheritance ask any Yoruba person if that is a lie
There is a huge cultural difference between Igbos and Yorubas with regards to marriage and family and any Igbo girl marrying Yoruba should be fully informed of these differences .
Not saying every Yoruba man must end up polygamous but it is not a big deal for them
It is normal for a Yoruba man to keep mistresses and conceive babies by the mistresses and his family and wives are fully aware
Igbo girls marrying into the Yoruba culture ought to sit and have these candid discussions with the man
Observe his family and see if his father and uncles didn't do the things I just described then you know he is likely not to
You just spoke my mind, I'm not one to throw tribal remarks and air my individual sentiments and thoughts that could be perceived as bigoted.(I like to keep it civil even though with differential opinions as everyone else)

Nonetheless, I think these very meagre igbos that marry non-igbos to me are un enlightened and not quite educated or should we say, not information-equipped.

I know yoruba guys marrying igbo girls is akin to touching heaven's gate gringrin However, the few igbo girls that do these are often times married to the wealthiest of them non-igbos, because I know its certainly not a thing of desired choice.

Well, they get married and get gone. Their loss and they know this.
RomanceRe: He Is Yoruba But Wants To Marry An Igbo Lady: Please Advise Him by PreciousBro: 11:45pm On May 20, 2015
Well, as much as I don't like inter-marriage,we have to accept that things are/and have changed. Its no longer a thing of pride to stay loyal to your kins men, Nigerian women are all looking for husbands and they'd take anyone that comes now.

I'd always advise that people should marry from their tribe or at most,their region and neighbouring ethnicity for better cultural and traditional understanding.

Quality is a thing that cannot stay hidden and for some reason Igbo girls seem to be at the mention of most wanted marital-wise.

To me, Igbo guys have taste ,its no wonder they hardly look outside their region and hence tribe,because they see that the quality lies within,why look else where, Yoruba guys seem to be at the rising of every ethnicity because they accept anything and anyone grin

I hate to say this but, I don't like igbo girls marrying non-igbo. {{{Quality Depletion}}}

Tribal Disloyalty ,un patriotism and carelessness to marital justice are what this Igbos marrying non -igbos are to me.

F•ck you if you think I'm sentimental and bigoted. We all are in this f^cked up corpse of a country we all drive fictitious preach for unity and oneness . We are not one, we are not the same. Deal with it and stick to your moderf•cking tribe.

Ihuomadinihu:
We are not talking about which naming pattern is better than the other. However,i prefer the unisex pattern cos names are tied to situations surronding conception and birth and not necessarily sex or gender.
Nevertheless,inspite of the dominace of unisex names,certain conventions/names about feminine quaility and male strenght is still observed in the south.
Hmm True.

But It Still Doesn't Take Away The Gender Conventions and Rhythm . How Else Do We Explain Names That are Strictly Male Dominated Or Female.

Or The Unisex Ones That are Borne By Both Genders, carrying Same Meaning ,Doesn't Necessarily Have To Be The same Circumstances Of Birth.

I don't think its childish to get your stuffs back after finding out her own childishness in cheating.

Something about humans and the law of retribution or revenge, call it whatever you wanna call it ,but humans just like to be even on things, its fairer that way.

I for one, I'd want her to feel the pain she brought upon me with the knowledge of her infidelity, it could be anything to get back at her, fucck her sister,friends if you have to grin

Anybody saying its not the girl's fault and that after all ,its the guy that gave her the gift and she was trying to teach the guy that money can't buy love bla bla bla is nothing short of a phucking gold digger and a tool in the hands of "money miss road" individual.

What happened to her own self respect and dignity that should come first ? And that she can't be bought hence rejecting it to give herself some sense of pride huh ?

All you girls looking for excuses to to perpetrate your gold-digging talents in the hands of innocent money spending blokes should get a life and grow some brain cells.

You advance and justify irregularity in the stance of "teaching someone a lesson". What stupid lesson ?

The lesson I've seen by that situation is that the girl is a petty thief, a shameless LovePeddler and a proud money hungry leech in pretence of a good girl. Give it up!
RomanceRe: See How Nigerian Girl Rejected Guy's Proposal After Collecting His IPHONE 6 by PreciousBro: 8:57am On May 12, 2015
I don't think anyone should blame the guy here, it might be change to him after all, and besides, people give gifts for various reasons, yes even to woo you ,soften your heart, put a smile on your face, generally make you happy and possibly facilitate your positive gesture and response to his innocent, true intentions for your love and his noble reflection in his proposal.

The girl on the other hand, like every other gold digger in Nigeria and beyond should be ashamed of her immaturity, stup!dity and insensitivity toiling with her future. This could ,may have been her potential husband lol she just shut the door on and even foolishly broadcasted it for every other sane man to hate on her.

What a shame!
