U guys are really trying, I can read what you typed but I have never written or read in etsako before now. U text etsako, that is something I would never accomplish. Was born in Lagos, so even my cousins laugh at the way we speak, talk more of write. My husband is worse, he lost his parents at a very young age, when he speaks, its like murdering the language. Agenebode is after fugar, the water side/ river niger people.

We write better than we speak. It comes out all wrong whenever i try to speak. Your dialect is quite different from ours.
I wasn't born close to home and my parents chose to use english language as their preferred means of communication.

Biologically speaking, don't you think too much of intra-tribal marriage can over a period of time lead to something close to inbreeding as after a while, people linage and ancestry can be traced to have crossed severally across different families.

No. especially not if the tribe is expanding slightly. and as long as you dont marry blood relatives which is the norm.

It goes on a rotational basis. maybe genes even mutate by slight degrees after a while. we dont know. because that is probably how humans evolved from their ancestor species.


We have been doing intra-tribal marriages for 1000s and 1000s of years, since the beginning of mankind. It is how it is.


Again, maybe an occasional marriage from a related, close-affiliated ethnic group (e.g., south-east/South-west groups) is not a big problem, as long as the overall genopool is kept strong. This is different from say, a Nigerian marrying Somali. We humans know our limits. Its our 6th sense.

Reading tru this thread, i discovered that a lot of contributors replaces their ethnicity with their states. states are mere administrative cleavages which is not to be confused with your ethnicity/heritage. Meanwhile, my father is of YORUBA Ethnic group/Ijesha Tribe while my mother is of the UROHBO Ethnic group/Uvwie Tribe.

yea really strange but I have heard there are igbo/hausa couples but they keep it quiet

Never bumped into a mixed like you

There are a whole lot of IBO/HAUSA couples,especially the Ibo women that were forced into marriage by HAUSA solgdiers during the civil war.

favouryemmy: Dad=Yoruba
Mum= Igbo
Good combination!
Wonderful family on both sides.
Was considering marrying Hausa/Fulani but it didn't work.



Not sure that combo works.


I think its mostly yorubas who are comfortable with igbo/yoruba combos for marriage. At least to a somewhat greater extent than other tribes, not that some folks would still not kick against it, but such people would kick against everything regardless.



Yorubas marry from anywhere anyway.
