Ileke-IdI: I think they are from Kogi state and are related to the Jukun. Middle Belt people from the Eastern part. 1 Like |

@ OP This should have been posted in culture. The topic is clean and there's nothing tribalistic in your thread. You only wanted to know more about them. The only negative thing i heard about them is that they believe so much in animism and Juju(not all of them, though). They are quite similar to Yorubas and assimilate easily into any Yoruba society. But i still prefer their neighbouring Igala women to them. 1 Like |

Actually wat i would like ur response on is about their bad, good side also their shortcomings of the igbira women |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by excanny: 10:19pm On Nov 06, 2010 |
sunch: Like i told you before, they are very similar to Yoruba women. In fact, if you meet some, you instantly take them for Yoruba women, except they tell you. So in case you are into one right now, the plus and minus of Yoruba women applies to them. But i think they are slightly more fetish. |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by sunch(m): 11:30pm On Nov 06, 2010 |
Yes brov, am rolling wit one right now wich am careful in laying my whole heart in it. Peops around seems to be like condemning her coming from da tribe. Though i knw tribe is just a mini-barrier we can shake off. But d question is as any one has a past encounter, married or heard about this folks.Actually i grew up in lag, wich i doubt d fact dat they more like d yorubas. |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by excanny: 12:18am On Nov 07, 2010 |
^^ I also grew up in Lagos. I went to primary and secondary with many of them. They usually have some hoods they call 'abule igbira'. I've never dated one myself, but my friend did. The girl wanted to marry early, so she had another guy who she later married. They are usually muslims, except few that may be christians. Like i told you, they are very fetish. But it depends where your girl grew up, she might be different and nice. You need to go out with her for at least 6 months to know her well, then you can decide to keep or discontinue. Dont allow people to confuse you, she might be good.(i'm sure she's Yoruba-speaking, many of them are). |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by sunch(m): 8:00am On Nov 07, 2010 |
I knw all dat about d abule igbiras, while i have few friends dat are male and nt coming across there female thrue out my stay in lag. We met in abuja but she grew up in their home-town, with strong muslim background, she convertd to xtain dat was b4 i met her. It baffles me how i hear people talk indifferently bout them, just like jonas saying igbira women na wa ooo, wich makes me to be curious to knw what about them which am yet to get. |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by sunch(m): 8:03am On Nov 07, 2010 |
jonas shld pls come up here to explain his IGBIRA NA WA OO |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by excanny: 9:10am On Nov 07, 2010 |
What you can do is search for 'igbira' topics here to see what people have written about them in the past. Like i told you earlier, you should have posted this in culture. |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by azeeza(f): 2:54pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
ebiras are part of kogi state,and 1 of the major groups in kogi state.their ladies are cool headed unless u trample on their feet.am an ebira chick born in lokoja but lived almost my whole life in abj.may be i might be of help to you sunch |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by sunch(m): 3:06pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
@azeeza, thanks alot, i wld be much appreciative if u do share informatns dat wld be helpful in this matter |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by azeeza(f): 3:09pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
how may i help u |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by sunch(m): 3:24pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
U must have read other threads dat discuss 'bout d ebiras in a ill-manner, eg jonas saying na wa ooo, and i've expecting him to come expatiate on dat. Moreova azeeza let me and excanny know how ur peops differs to the yorubas. Also wat is d likes and dislikes ur ladys dat u might have observed overtime. |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by azeeza(f): 4:06pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
every ethic group has it own bad side so why are you guy saying we are ill-manner,an ebira man will make you see hell when you try to cheat on him or her.there is this particular part of ebiraland(ihima)they share boundary with kabba(yoruba speaking part of kogi state)from the west.i know they speak and bear yoruba name .treat an ebira chick with love,care and affection and she will reciprocate open heartedly. 1 Like 1 Share |

azeeza: Abi o! @ Poster But honestly, the more I visit Nairaland, the more I loose respect for Nigerians as a people. Why are Nigerians so discriminatory? Its really sickening! How can you judge an individual's character based mainly on tribe? Are you people that shallow? Since you obviously do not trust women from other cultures, why don't you do yourself a favor and stick to women from your own tribe? It can't be that difficult now can it? 1 Like |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by sunch(m): 5:00pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
@nwaka, dnt take it too far. U knw d point is dat it's actually wat we came 2meet. Even if both partys are from same village there wld still be a thourogh findings to knw about nt just d girl but its family as a whole including her lineage. Applicable to woman side to dman. To me it's meaningless, but it's sure part of d norm. Moreova, seems like u're ibo, ibos are more concern 'bout making findings as they wldnt want to associate wit an osu etc |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by azeeza(f): 5:03pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
you are right nwaka77. |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by excanny: 8:24pm On Nov 09, 2010 |
@Nwaka77 You seem to be getting this guy wrong. Read his post very well. He has no problem with where his girlfriend is from. It's just that the way people around him talk negatively about the girl is what got him worried. I heard such rumours too myself. Just didn't bother because i've never been interested in one. You cant just ignore such things. You need to investigate before you put yourself into something you dont understand. |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by oludashmi(f): 10:40am On Nov 10, 2010 |
@nwaka77 good comment @excanny YOUR MUM IS CALLING YOU  Leave sunch and azeeza and other igbiras alone to sort themselves out, this would be better than giving pple a closed-minded opinion. every tribe has its ups and downs. @sunch 1. Instead of asking about a tribe/group of pple on the net, of which pple will confuse you, why dont you find time to travel to the person's place (maybe 2 wks) and see things for yourself 2. Study the lady as an individual not as a tribe 3. Stay away to cliff to your angelic tribe that you are sure of. This is computer age, one million and one things we knew about each other are no longer practiced and can be an opposite of their present lifestyle. |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by excanny: 12:53pm On Nov 10, 2010 |
oludashmi: ^^^  What did i do now? But i told sunch that Igbira women are good. At least, they can make cook and make babies. lol. Any other thing you want to tell us? |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by oludashmi(f): 3:15pm On Nov 10, 2010 |
excanny:Still asking question. . . how many times will your mum call you before you respond, naughty boy, dont worry, when you become independent, we will teach you to answer adults at first call. |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by excanny: 5:29pm On Nov 10, 2010 |
^^^ You just reminded me of my mum(oh! sweet mummy) i need to call her now. You know Igbo men dont joke with their mothers. THANKS FUNMI. |

They are quite similar to Yorubas and assimilate easily into any Yoruba society. Yes, they are, very stubborn people////In Kogi state, heheh. when it comes to conflicts, well every tribe has its own sha i am not condemning them ok, Ask actress Mercy Johnson she is an ebira lady |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by Pentiums1(m): 6:27pm On Nov 18, 2010 |
Nwaka, you have a very good point. What baffles me is how our Nigerian guyz and gals are claiming to be of other country's origin. Nwaka with good sense, isn't that awful? |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by IYANGBALI: 12:50am On Nov 19, 2010 |
they are nice but VERY MATERIALISTIC VERY TRIBALISTIC VERY STUBBORN VERY GENEROUS WITH THEIR BORE HOLES{no be water own i dey talk o,na the one wey dey in between their legs} THEY WOULD ONLY SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE WITH YOUR CHILDREN,IF YOU ARE FROM ANOTHER TRIBE AND WEN YOU GET MARRIED TO THEM BE REST ASSURED THAT THEY WOULD DRIVE AWAY ALL MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY FROM YOUR HOUSE AND BRING IN THEIR OWN 2 Likes |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by sunch(m): 12:32pm On Nov 19, 2010 |
@iya ngbali, i thank u a great deal for ur reasonable and precise response. Really have been noticing dat wit her on the lang. tang even wit her sista das married. But on the generosity wit d hole dat i wldnt likely support, cos it's wit all tribes. It wld depend on the up bringing of the girl child wich is to do wit pressure from the society she lives in, her peers, even d kind of informatn she was exposed to, nt to mention our home videos etc 1 Like |

@IYA NGBALI you are saying rubbish.tell me where are you 4rm.I AM PROUD OF MY LINEAGE NO MATTER WHAT  |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by pinkylady1(f): 12:19pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
@ poster im 4rm kogi state, Ihima Precisely. its not really your fault that u really want to know more where your girl come 4rm but like some one said up there it really has to do with one's upbringing not tribe. people tend not to blv me when i tell them i'm igbira cos of all these negative stuffs they think its associated with us. to me i think its all about someone's upbringing. so try to know more about her real self and not about her tribe  IYA NGBALI: all that was not necessary as it applies to some women 4rm other tribe  |
| Re: Igbira Women, What About Them? by excanny: 3:18pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
^^^Madam Pink, you mean they have no negatives perculiar to them? I'm off to get a girlfriend from that place. |
