Romance › Re: How Important Is Tribe In Nigerian Relationships? by tpia5: 10:57pm On Nov 01, 2011
For ijaw girls ( remember this is my personal opinion and not set in stone).

I think it depends on which area they're from, and the host tribe. But in general, and based on port harcourt area, i'd say:

white men (regardless of nationality): first choice

ijaw or yoruba men- second choice

igbo or yoruba men- third choice

Igbo men could also tie with ijaw men for second choice- i'm not too sure.

Ijaw men could also be second choice.

Some ijaw ladies can also marry from any of the deltan tribes.

Its rather confusing but depends on location, like i said.

Anyone with better information should correct this.

Also, hausa men are either second, third or fourth choices together with the non-oyibo nigerians.
Romance › Re: Hottest Nigerian Accents by tpia5: 10:50pm On Nov 01, 2011
I think most people find the nigerian british accent hot.

Personally, and on a regional level, i find the oyo accent fascinating (not hot though) and i used to have a conc oyo friend who regaled us with the language. My oyo cousins dont speak it as far as i know, but they have relatives who do.
Christianity Etc › Re: Can We Change Our Destiny? by tpia5: 10:42pm On Nov 01, 2011
The answer is yes and no.

Some parts of destiny can be changed eg if you were headed for hell before, you can change your destination. Spiritual aspect, in other words.

However, some aspects of our earthly life might be fixed but what those are, only God knows imo and the best we can do is trust him and believe in his word.

Also, not worry about these things.

@ topic

every bad girl was once a good girl, so sometimes its a question of one being more experienced and/or wily than the other, that's all.

Who actually watches the show? huh

So far i only caught one episode where somebody was looking for her earring, and searching for that earring took about 15-20 mins while she wandered around crying and moaning.

I was left wondering if i really shouldnt take up a worthwhile hobby besides television. Something that would actually help me burn calories.

Dont know what the future of entertainment is, really.
Romance › Re: How Important Is Tribe In Nigerian Relationships? by tpia5: 6:51pm On Nov 01, 2011
For most hausa women i think it would read something like:

hausa men- first choice

hausa men- second choice

hausa men- third choice

middle beltan (could also be used interchangeably with hausa on occasion)- fourth choice

non-nigerian (muslim?)- fifth choice

southerner if the lady is a rebel

Register your kids in english school or better still you can try to start one yourself, with your kids. Like evening classes or something.

Just an idea but nigeria is an english speaking country and things will be more difficult should your kids visit home and they cant speak either the local language or english.

Big quandary which is best avoided.

Wbb but i have to agree with lindabon in the meantime.

Whoever is responsible for widening the punny should also be the one taking the punny to the altar.

For yoruba women that is.

I may check up the figures for women from other ethnicities and nationalities later.
Romance › Re: How Important Is Tribe In Nigerian Relationships? by tpia5: 6:18pm On Nov 01, 2011
So essentially the trend seems to be:

yoruba men- first choice

hausa men- second choice

edo men (bini)- third choice

calabar or ijaw men- fourth choice.

That kind of girl is every man's desire.
not really every man, since some men prefer quiet, submissive wives who dont challenge them.

the yoruba proverb (is it) about two rams drinking from the same gourd.
Romance › Re: How Important Is Tribe In Nigerian Relationships? by tpia5: 4:18pm On Nov 01, 2011
^^true.

hausa men are free daters, just like yoruba men.

they dont discriminate when dating, for the most part.

the harem aspect is also correct.
Islam › Re: 9 Stupid Questions You Hear When You Wear Hijab by tpia5: 4:03pm On Nov 01, 2011
Imagine that a muslim man said this, u would b all over d place claiming they keep they dont want freedom for their women. Is it possible for a muslim woman to visit certain sections and not the others?? yes. In fact, I usually get 2 d romance secion only after the posts get to d front page. Abi u want to say romance is unIslamic?? feel free to ask questions.
of course you're free to visit any section you like.

what I pointed out was doesnt wearing a hijab contradict your being present even on nl.

wearing hijab is supposed to be a protection from contamination by worldliness, right? huh

isnt looking up male profiles a contradiction here, since you're picking up habits that the hijab is supposed to protect you from.

so what then is the essence of having a hijab if you're freely moving about on nl anyway? huh



My main purpose wasnt to check his pics. i wanted to c wat he's been up to
we're still saying the same thing.

in the days before nl got sanitized (somewhat), if you check someone's picture, you could find your eyeballs staring at an x rated photo.

just saying.

I mean, there's no way of telling what you'll find?



anyway!! no need for long story.

My point is, being on nl or the web itself, exposes you to a broader worldview than what you want to admit to yourself.

so, just try to widen your horizons somewhat and no, I'm not saying you should be the opposite of what you are.

am i making sense.
Romance › Re: How Important Is Tribe In Nigerian Relationships? by tpia5: 3:52pm On Nov 01, 2011
It is true though some of the qualities that are in yoruba men that Yoruba women love are found in Hausa men to a extent.
yes, i noticed that.

similar dating habits, no doubt.

Romance › Re: How Important Is Tribe In Nigerian Relationships? by tpia5: 3:40pm On Nov 01, 2011
i wouldnt say it's a preference- just looking at the estimates for the tiny number of yoruba women who marry outside their tribe.

the most likely tribes you'll find them are hausa, edo (benin specifically), calabar, ijaw- maybe in that order, or maybe not. Cant really tell.

and the attributes found in hausa males which would have made them attractive marriage partners but for the religious and taboo aspect, are also very common in yoruba males, which i think makes them (yoruba men) an easy alternative to hausa, as far as most southern non-yoruba tribes are concerned.

just my opinion of course- i could be wrong.

for the most part Yoruba women don't marry outside their tribe but if they do the only two tribes in Nigeria I have seen them consider is Hausa men or Edo men
calabar men also, but actually there are few or no tribes that they wouldnt consider if we're talking about the tiny amount of yoruba women who marry outside their ethnicity.

meaning you can probably find yoruba women married to any tribe in nigeria, just that the number is very small.

sometimes they marry ijaw men also. Strained history there however.

i think hausa men generally would be attractive to most women from any tribe, were it not for the religion factor and also the strained relations between north and south.

they tend to be easy going and laid back [for the most part] though this isnt always a good thing.

yoruba men are also like that when dating, hence one of the reasons why they're hotcakes to other tribes- they're like christianized or southernized hausa and not forbidden like hausa.
