Please when should I come and pay dowry for your sister.

My sister is married.

zenmaster:
Preach love.
I am looking for a Yoruba girl to marry sef.

Why? All the Chinasa, Obiageli, Nkemdilim, Nkiru, Onyi, Uche, Amara etc., don finish for your area?

zenmaster:
Nairaland depends on Igbophobia for growth

And Igbo people depend on Yorubaphobia for prosperity.

venai:
Hmmm... No prob. So let us just conclude that I am gonna marry my beautiful, sexy and inteligient yoruba girl soon. So any nairalander that is not happy with my choice can go and kiss fire.

Your headache, your problem. Na you sabi.

EruditorII:
If Kachikwu was implementing the NTB based on BPPs advice you cannot differentiate it from him acting as the minister of the ministry at the point in time. That is what you are still not getting. In his capacity it is clear that the minister (whether for state or otherwise) was represented in the board as well as the GMD.

You are the one trying ever so hard to make a clear act of mischief look like the law. So if PMB as Petroleum minister wanted to chair the NTB will Baru refer him to BPPs advice? If he would not do that to PMB why Kachikwu? The law makes ZERO provisions for the Petroleum Minister to approve of contracts as engendered by the NTB so why was Baru still seeking PMBs approval when he did not need to?

And forget that talk about the NNPC act. If PMB needed a figure head in the sector then Kachikwu would not have taken the apointment as he was courted away from Exxon not that he vied for this job. PMB vested his powers as the full minister on Kachikwu and was in fact the figure head of the ministry while Kachikwu ran the show. It was a deliberate act of mischief on Baru's part to circumvent Dr. Kachikwu and still be going to the figure head for approvals.

On closer inspection we know that PMB has been in and out of health all the while so who really was Baru seeking approvals from? No single person.

Please tuck in your bigotry.

You have always ignored the fact that the NNPC Act does not recognise any Minister of State! This has nothing to do with bigotry. Buhari was the substantive Petroleum Minister, and still remains so. Kachikwu just wants to exercise powers that are not backed by any known law. Buhari delegated all his functions to Osinbajo, when he was ill, so Osinbajo would have been regarded as acting Petroleum Minister, and not Kachikwu.

EruditorII:
He was also the acting minister then so the "state minister" was aware apart from the President. He did not constitute any NTB on his own but implemented the recommendation of the BPP.

For him to have been both Minister of State and GMD NNPC was even wrong. It ignored the principle of checks and balances.

EruditorII:
He was also the acting minister then so the "state minister" was aware apart from the President. He did not constitute any NTB on his own but implemented the recommendation of the BPP.

Oh now you agree that Kachikwu implemented the BPP recommendation. But when Baru used the same NTB recommend by BPP, it became a crime even though the BPP recommended it.

gbosaa:
Alright then. Hold onto that opinion very tight. Never let go.

Yes o, wisdom is profitable to direct. And it prevents unwanted headache down the line.

MyNewJackeT:
The truth is that any woman that is lucky enough to marry an igbo man or any tribe from the East usually kneel and thank God for giving him such a man because it's not easy.

Another propaganda. Don't you people ever get tired of spreading lies?

tooth4tooth:
Although, both tribes have history of inter-marriage while some were faced with bitter experience.

My uncle served in Imo state in the early eighties, fell in love with one Igbo girl who got pregnant in the process.

After his youth service, he decided to do the needful,took his family to Imo to ask for the girl's hand in marriage. They were chased with all sort of dangerous weapons by the girl's family from the village. My uncle had no choice than to move on with his life.

Nineteen years later one beautiful ebony black girl came looking for her biological father after securing university admission which gave her the opportunity to explore the world around her. You dont need a soothsayer to tell you my uncle is her father as the girl is like female clone of him. Imagine, she even bears her maternal grandfather's surname.

The second story
My ecomomics teacher in ss1 was an Igbo woman. Her elder sister got pregnant for a yoruba man. The father kicked against it claiming ,over his dead body will his daughter marry a yoruba man. He went ahead to abort the baby. Unfortunately, the lady died in the process.

Lo and behold,when my economics teacher was to to marry, she took another yoruba man home. Her father has no choice this time than to consent to the marriage He cannot afford to lose another of his daughter

To me, the Igbos seem to be more tribalistic in marriage than the yorubas.

Thank you jare. Many of such real life experiences abound, yet some politically correct kids will come online and be pretending all is well when they know the truth.

venai:
You wrote about generalisation, and you are still generalizing. Like I posted earlier, I have never dated any igbo girl before, and i am from Anambra. I also have a friend from Osun state who never dated any yoruba girl. He married igbo woman. Another of my friends, who is also from Anambra state, would rather die than bed a yoruba girl. So it is wrong for anyone to say that yoruba girls hate dating or marrying igbo guys.

Oga preach this your gospel to your people. I have a relative who was not allowed to marry her Igbo boyfriend last year. Why? Simply because his family said she was Yoruba and not Igbo. They dated for 5 good years. I have another neighbor who is 3 months pregnant for an Igbo guy, who has dumped her after telling her that he is the first son, so he must marry an Igbo girl from Nnewi, since he is from there. I know several others who have suffered the same fate. My teacher who is from Rivers state, was not allowed to marry her fiance from Anambra for the same reason. The man's family said she was not from their place. Stop using your own yardstick to judge the experience of others. These things are real.

EruditorII:
This interpretation is flawed. There is nothing in the rejoinder that said the GMD has powers to get approval directly from the Petroleum Minister. In fact, according to Baru, he only needed to sit with his GEDs and approve contracts. If the contract valuation was above a certain limit, he deferred it to FEC for approval.

The question we now asked him in return was WHO TOOK THE APPROVAL TO THE FEC?

He cannot say the President because he only chairs that FEC as the President and not the Minister. If he says Ibe Kachikwu he has lied because Dr. Kachikwu has denied him.

And while he is at it maybe he should tell us if NTB is responsible for appointments within NNPC without the consent of the NNPC board which Kachikwu chairs?

Go and read the NNPC act. It is there in black and white that the GMD relates with the Petroleum Minister. As for who took the papers to FEC, they were taken by the same Kachikwu who is now denying knowledge of the contracts. Baru said it clearly that Kachikwu as a member of FEC knew about the contracts, and the various approvals received to cover those contracts. Kachikwu has not come out to deny Baru's words.

Daplux4:
the answer is simply, Yoruba girls find it difficult to stick to marriage.

Lies from the pit of hell.

Madam Kemi thinks differently

Kemi Olunloyo that mad woman is now your standard for what goes on in the mind of Yorubas abi? You don miss road. It is like saying Okorocha speaks the mind of all Igbo people.

gbosaa:
And you think I haven't lived or interacted with Yoruba people. I grew up with them, went to school with them, worked with them and one of my closest friends is Yoruba.

Lucky for you. So in the same way I know Igbo people to be tribalistic when it comes to marriage, I am sure you have your own opinions too about Yorubas.

zenmaster:
Before you finish reading this sentence, 1,500 anti-Igbo threads will appear on Nairaland

And by the time you finish reading this 2,950 anti-Yoruba threads will be opened on Nairaland.

zenmaster:
How is it propaganda again
Why do you want to block the progress of TRUE LOVE

What dirty true love? When your brother on another thread was calling Igbo women leftovers for marrying outside their ethnic group, you never said anything. You're now coming here to preach rubbish gospel of one dirty true love. The hate your people have for Yoruba people is real but we are not bothered by it.

gbosaa:
Too much nairaland and online bantering isn't good for your mental wellbeing.

Get out there and see how people roll. You are wrong about Igbos. I'm sure most of the things you know, learnt or feel about them were induced by your online interaction with faceless trolls. Same goes to how some Igbos feel about Yoruba people.

No I have lived with Igbo people. So I know how they roll and I can speak from experience. You are the one that refuses to face reality.

Etty
FIVE reasons why Yoruba men marry Igbo ladies:

1. Igbo women are home builders
It would be nice for us not to be sentimental when considering this issue. Igbo women are extremely dedicated in marriage. Now there would always be a few stray ones like we have in other tribes too; but when it comes to the effort they put into marriages, those ladies are quite commendable. Marriage means a great deal to them and divorce is a word they do not really entertain. Yoruba men go for them because they see the prospects in them. READ ALSO: 10 popular street foods Nigerians cannot do without eating

2. They are excellent cooks
There are a number of leaves and vegetables that are being made into soups by the Igbo ladies. Most of them know how to cook and would feed a man until he cannot eat any longer. Yoruba men know that they would taste different types of vegetables when they are married to Igbo ladies. we all know the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

3. Love knows no tribe

Some Yoruba men end up marrying Igbo ladies not because they had it planned out but because love happened. Love knows no tribe. At this point, they have no control over the person their hearts choose. Not giving in to love may subject them to a lifetime of unhappiness at the long run. Moreover, they do not marry these ladies by force, there is usually a strong mutual consent by the parties involved as it is essential for them to work as a unit in order to gain the support of their family members.

4. They are accommodating
Igbo people love having a full house; it is not strange finding uncles, aunties, nephews, cousins and distant relations spending holiday with them. Although they chat a lot, they enjoy good company. There are bad eggs among them too who have little or no tolerance for people. Yoruba men know that marrying Igbo ladies who are well cultured and behaved will help them keep their family members together. Over time, the family members may start to see the good in them and love them too. READ ALSO: 7 irritating lies Nigerian girls would always tell

5. They belong to one Nigeria

Sometimes, men do not pay attention to tribal issues and condescending statements that may bring a tribe down. As far as they are concerned, the Igbo ladies are Nigerians like them too. For this reason, a Yoruba man could decide to choose his life partner from that tribe and live with her for the rest of his life. After all, marrying outside one's tribe is not an offence that is punishable under law. As a matter of fact, it promotes cultural integration and helps the people of the country to bond better.

Your propaganda and deceit will never sell. You people are good at saying one thing and doing another. Rubbish. You do not speak for Yoruba men and they can see through your lies and attempts to find husbands for your Osu sisters.

MyNewJackeT:
Thank God you know the speech that I'm talking about. The Igbo had never had a war with their neighbors till date. An igbo man loves his wife more than any Yoruba man can ever love. Kiss the truth. The truth is that the Igbo don't even care what you think about them.

Oga keep quiet and stop acting like a victim. Zik who made a speech about dominating other tribes nko,? The hate that is expressed by your Igbo people is real and we have taken note of it. Wasn't it Kanu that urged his Biafran people to kill any awusa or Yorroba they find?

Most Igbo men do not marry Yoruba women so what do you mean by they love their wives?

zenmaster:
Calm down and marry an Igbo girl.
Your life will improve generally

Stop behaving like a hypocrite. Igbo girls only settle for Yoruba men in order not to get left on the shelf. Igbo men only use Yoruba women for their selfish motives. So what improvement are you talking about?

Daplux4:
the answer is simply, Yoruba girls find it difficult to stick to marriage.

No, the answer is that your people just use them for amusement and run back to their region to marry their Igbo women, because their families would not let them bring home a Yoruba woman. You people are tribalistic when it comes to marriage.

MyNewJackeT:
a prominent yorubas man once said that the only thing uniting the yorubas is their hatred of igbo, you can check the yorubas political history to find out if there was peace in your land or you can go as far back as the benin empire to find if there was peace then. But in the hatred of igbo the yorubas were all united as one. Akintola yorubas Iran speech.

Iranu. As if the Igbo are not united in their hatred for Yoruba people. We have seen it played out in many places. So stop acting like a victim. That is what you people are good at doing.

zenmaster:
You are correct
No sensible Yoruba will marry Ebowl

But many wise Yoruba men marry Igbo women (Ooni of Ife to follow soon . . .)

Will you stop talking jargons? You know the truth inside your heart but you have chosen to play to the gallery. The day the Eze of Nnewi or Obi of Onitsha marries a Yoruba wife, let us know. The Ooni can never have anything to do with your women lailai.

zenmaster:

Igbo phobia rules on Nairaland

It is mutual. You Igbo people also hate us. We are not deceived by your antics. Many of you suffer from Yorubaphobia.

venai:
You and the op are wrong. Yoruba and people inter-marry alot. Three of my cousins married yoruba women. Me too, I am gonna marry one soon.
For your information, I have never dated any igbo girl before. I am from Anambra state.
Yes! I am pro-biafran activist, but when it comes to marriage we go for whom we love. Love is neither tribal nor racial.

I take God beg una, stop generalising. The fact that your own family marries from anywhere, does not mean the larger Igbo population do so. Anambra people that always object when their people want to marry from Imo? ? Many of them cannot even marry from Ebonyi, so what would they be looking for with a Yoruba girl?

zenmaster:
We are talking about Ooni of Ife and you are deflecting.
Just watch the movie unfold

Stop this sacrilege. Ooni of Ife is not your mate. He can never marry an Igbo woman. When your Obi of Onitsha has not married a Yoruba woman, is it now the Ooni that would commit that abomination?

ProjectNaija:
Speak for yourself, I know several igbo men that are married to yorubas and even hausa/fulani. It's a matter of exposure.

Na you sabi. I know several Igbo men that are NOT married to Yoruba or even Hausa Fulani. So who cares?
