henryobinna: what will the government or NGO really fight?
there's nothing ot be fought here.
the government or NGO won't force his parents and entire community to attend his wedding neither will they force his parents to bless them, not even force the family to accept the girl.
The guy can go on and do court wedding and church wedding if his church is cool with his parents not partaking in it. But traditionally, he and his family (plus kids) are not recognized... The father can refuse to let him into his house or anything concerning him, so what will the government and NGO do in such case?
Some of you who are none Igbos or do not have knowledge of the thing will just be giving advice uppn advice on a subject you lack information of. The truth is nobody can stop him from marrying the girl if he so wishes... At the same time nobody can force others to accept/recognise he and his marriage(family as well)... I don't know how marriages are done in other parts of Nigeria but in Igbo land, it goes beyond the few hours of ceremonies...
By the way, the Osu thing has spiritual repercussions, strangely enough nobody made mention of it here.
I will only advise the OP to go ahead if he's a devoted Christian(because of the spiritual repercussions) and if he's ready to damn the social consequences(family, community etc etc)
Other wise, just do what you know is right. By the way, marrying her sef right now based on her good conduct and love does not determine what she'll turn into tomorrow... people change... love changes.
Good luck with whatever decision you decide to go with
freemanbubble: Hmmmmmmm My love for snakes But wait o. I thought we have seen this thread before
Anyway. I live snakes die These are friendly python and different from boa I know these white people will not kill this snake unlike our Africans that will kill and eat it
The rate at which we kill them in Africa these days, their population will soon be threatened. Lets learn to live peacefully with these beautiful snakes. They don't bite to attack and to defend. They only swallow small animals If you keep your cool, a human - python cohabitation is very possible.
Even the cobra self they only bite to defend Because i dey reason am why he be say if snake come meet us for house them nor dey harm us. Sometimes self you fit live with snake for two years inside house them nor go do you anything
There is no way you can be bitten by a snake in a residential building Which means they respect us So lets learn how to respect them Please lets learn to live and stay with this beautiful creature called snake
My dear... It's better you visit the nearest hospital. Staphylococcus is a really serious matter, self medics might just make the symptoms go temporarily but unlikely to completely cure it and Nairaland might not provide that solution you need now.
