PAGAN9JA:Brother, I respect you more than 99% of this forum so I'm gonna respectfully ask that we agree to disagree on this one. African essence comes primarily from genetics, which is why a white man can learn Yoruba language, dance Bata dance, wear traditional clothes and memorise all 30,000 Odu Ifa but he can never be a Yoruba African man. Whereas even the 'lost' African Americans still have a deep African soul even if they don't know it. Check out the Geeche people of South Carolina, a group descended from African slaves who have maintained a very vivid African culture for centuries. They even have their own language. You cant reduce Africanism to Tribe. It's much, much more than that. 8 Likes |

tpia1: That aint the point. and honestly you as a woman should be against this part of our custom. I believe men and women should have equal representation in cases such as their own personal culture,etc. Why is your native language called mother tongue ? Because the mother is the one who usually leaves her home to her in-laws. and when she goes there, she passes on her language, customs, etc., to her kids. Also different tribes have overall general traits. we must preserve that. And some tribes belong to completely different ethnic groups. To me an igbo marrying a Hausa is no different from Igbo marrying Chinese. 4 Likes |

PAGAN9JA: it doesnt take centuries plz. within one or two generations (less than 60- 100 years), culturally speaking. and in these days of globalization and change, its hard to predict where anyone will be at any point in time. your "purebreed" may find themselves not even in nigeria and perhaps the only face among a sea of foreign faces, should they remain unmarried then? 1 Like |

You cant reduce Africanism to Tribe. It's much, much more than that. No i have to disagree here. a whiteman imitating Yoruba suffers from deep inferiority complex and needs to go see a pschyatric, unless he is just doing it for fun. There is no such thing as 1 African people. Africans are composed of different stocks that have graduallly split and evolved to their current forms. Let me give you an example. Igbos & Yorubas might infact be of same ancestry that split and evolved to their current forms. same with say, Marghi and Hausa. yet both groups are unrelated. However they have evolved too much that they have formed their own separate distinct identities. The same can be applied to humans. Humans and Chimps shared common ancestry but split to their current forms. However in this case, the split and evolution is to such an extent that breeding between the two is now impossible. I believe evolution is a natural process, and the tribes are a natural part of this process. The process is extremely slow though. We must not tamper with this process and let it carry on its course. The Ethnic groups exist for a purpose. 2 Likes |

tpia1: I will just do my duty and leave the rest to the Gods. My culture and tribe has given me everything. An identity, a brotherhood, a family, pride, culture, etc. I will marry among my own people, though not blood relatives. This is the least I can do to give back something and ensure its survival for the next generation. 2 Likes |

Marrying withing your ethnicity is good for many reasons: -You will understand your partner well. Too well infact. -You will relate well with your partners family. Marriage between 2 people of the same ethnicity is not just a union of 2 people. IT is a Union of 2 families. - You will pass on your ethnic/tribal culture for future generations. -Your offspring will feel more included in your community. -Having a Tribe has side-benefits as well. Especially in the job sector. -We dont know what the future holds. Countries and Nations rise and fall. If such a case happens, then who else will you run to? Your Tribe ofcourse. -Tribes were created for a reason. It is the system of humanity. ,etc. 2 Likes |
