Please let's ignore this comment. I can bet the poster is not from the SE.

[s]You said they mostly occur in the upper class, which is actually a false narrative, because the reverse is actually the case here. It is more common among the screps of society, for nothing else but the mere fact that in Nigeria they constitute the main mass of society.. How many younger people in street level relationships and with kids even do proper weddings anymore these days?
[/s]
You even said Yoruba men were the only ones marrying Igbo women and from the other direction no Igo men were marry Yoruba women. Another of your opinions, and while I agree that more Yoruba men marry Igbo women than Igbo men marrying Yoruba women, it is more like a 65-35 situation, and not a lack of both in substantial numbers.

[s]I can't refute your points because you had no point to begin with, just opinions based on what you think, which you would realize to be evidentially wrong if facts in form of raw data were to be presented[/s]. In Lagos, I have seen more children with mixed Yoruba-Igbo names than Yoruba-Others by a whole lot of wide margin.

Yes, Yorubas are more open to intertribal relationships because Yorubaland has historically always been a melting pot of sorts, various people have come and gone through what is now Yorubaland and this part of the world has always been open and well connected to all surrounding areas. But at the end of the day the Yoruba people always remain the only outlasting legacy.

While I am not really for or against intertribal marriages especially being the person from a dominant culture such as mine having nothing to fear, I would caution you to re-think your assertions that Yoruba-Igbo intermarriage is limited to just the Upper class in Lagos alone.
Have you visited the Lagos state marriage/wedding registry to study the stats or what? Secondly, why does it end in just Lagos? You think Lagos is the only place in the SW where Igbos can be found?

Those intertribal marriages making the headlines are only getting such publicity because the people involved are society people, but there are literally hundreds that take place going unnoticed each day.

Truth is the most common intertribal marriages are those between adjacent tribes, but those are mostly rural in nature, but in the cities (urban landscapes) in places such as Lagos or Abuja, one can't really make such bold assertions. [s]Yoruba-Igbo marriages might actually outnumber all other urban inter-ethnic relations in Nigeria.

You do not understand branding then.

That signboard is targeted at non christians or non committed christians.

The first sign of any religious word will turn them off automatically. But immediately you walk into house on the rock, it is all about Jesus. But the idea is to draw you in with dazzle.

Go and study Marketing 101 and stop running your mouth because you gained relevance by critisizing church tithe.

martineverest:
make a research...there are bini pole that bear IBO names, especially those from ighanke tribes....I could remember when she won the show and met with late oba of Benin, who blessed her as a 'daught
er of the soil"

SMH at you, the two groups of people that won't know the great Hannibal are little kids and those that don't/can't read! This man was arguably the most gallant soldier on the Biafran side during the war. The greatest single massacre inflicted on the Nigerian soldiers was led by the Hannibal himself, and that was the Abagana ambush when with much lesser men and ammunition, he ambushed a full battalion of Nigerian soldiers armed to the teeth!! What was left of the thousands of Nigerian soldiers were their charred remains and long columns of completely burnt out tanks, armoured cars, vans etc! Google Abagana massacre and be informed, you can thank me later. If you read the comments above, then you will realize that you belong to the minority that don't know Col. Joe Achuzie. Reading his exploits when I was small used to fill me with awe.

thesicilian:
You people make me laugh. Unfortunately for you people, he's not as popular as you'd have liked him to be. That's just a hard pill you'll have to swallow. Even Lawrence Anini was ten times more popular than him.

AbrahamIsrael:
It's only in Igbo land that you see all these nonsense. Other tribes have embraced discipline and good orientation but our Igbo youths are still indulging in cultism, kidnapping and all forms of criminality hence the reason the tribe is not progressing, spits!!!

pazienza:
And I'm telling you that those fringe communities are at best bilingual and consider themselves Igbos of Ngwa extraction who had been influenced by their Ibibio neighbors.

No non Igbo speaking town in Abia state.
People are quick to mention Item mba uzo people are non Igbos, but the people deny such claims and hold tight to their Igbo identity.

AdaFonju:
You're not as smart as thought initially, you acknowledged Igalas in Anambra and still claim s.e is COMPLETELY igboid,
You see how you are stylishly trying to reduce the Igala people in Anambra, so you dont know of the indigenous Idoma ppl in Enugu state or the significant Ibibio speaking people in Abia,

Opinionated:
i dont know when catholics will stop arguing with a non

cos it just like u re playing a loud speaker for a deaf...he is not hearin

Geestunnar:
The passage you quoted is talking about ur appearance when u fast. That you should not look as thou are fasting. The passage didn't make any reference to ashes..Please correct that.

Emmyjah50:
Just a Catholic doctrine with no Christian foundation.

Nothing ash in any Wednesday.
Jesus never practice it nor His Apostles.

Show me one scriptural references on Ash Wednesday then I will turn a Roman Catholic.
