It's normal for someone to marry from their own tribe/culture. Everyone is entitled to marry who he/she wants and I believe that if a man wants to marry you, he will irrespective of where you are from.


It's not only Igbos who tend to marry their own. Same can be said about other tribes and nationalities. I know a lot of Yoruba folks who will not marry anyone non-yoruba.

If I want to marry a fellow Ekiti man because he is the same tribe as me then no one should have a problem with my decision.


It's the ladies fault dating a guy for 6years with no intention to marry you. Trust me when a man wants to marry you, he will irrespective of where you come from.

I really don't see the big deal in people marrying their own if they choose too. It really is not the end of the world
Yeah.

This is the kind of thread bigfrancis21 likes. If everyone else is deceived by your deceptive cries here I'm not, you live, eat and drink tribalism.
Shutup! He's not a tribalist.

He only promotes his own tribe.
Tribalist is one that insult and make derogatory remark about other tribe and i haven't seen him doing so.

When I meet a girl I will try as much as I can to know her tribe before any emotion will set in cos I know my boundaries. So instead of arguing with my parents tomorrow I better get it right today.

Dear OP, please leave igbos alone if you are not igbo. Let them keep marrying themselves, its better for them.

I just pity peeps who date igbos!!,..especially igbos who live or have lived in the east...how do you cope with them??

Had to live amongst some east-based igbo guys and ladies during my NYSC..... Worst experience of my life....
Its worse that when they are told they are hard to understand, they all fall back to insulting in their local dialect.. You will hear things like ewu, anuofia etc...proving my point again....

well,she may, depends on how hard he tries to make the girl's parents accept him and convince them that he will take care of their daughter. my cousin married an edo man,it wasnt easy for the guy thou and being the only girl too but the guy didnt give up. Realtor otabor,if you love her ,dont give up. our parents are strict but dont stand in our way of happiness.

I am very ashamed of some pple. Igbo this igbo that. Dem use igbo pple do una. U guys av ur own problems instead of u to address it,u luk 4 tins that wil bring down the igbos.its quite unfortunate. U feel so happy when people insult the igbos. The igbo r stil the highest in inter tribal marriage. I know many yoruba family that wil prefer to marry an iliterate yoruba instead of an educated sound igbo. I am proudly Ikeduru,Imo and my girlfriend is from ijebu in ogun state. And we planning a great future 2gda,if God wills. Stop creating enemity btwn igbo n d other tribes. Its enough. Remuv d sand in your eyes before u do 4 someone else. NONSENSE.
Pls leave dem alrdy! We're used to deir devilish schemes!!! Truth is, it doesnt change a tin!!!

Who Isn't Tribalistic In Nigeria ?...

This Your Myopic Post Just Showed Your Exposed Ignorant Nyansh. Complementing Them(being caring) and Then Joining The Poisoned Crowd To Attach Tribalism Solely On Them as Though Other Ethnics Are Free Of It.

You Say Your Ex Is Ibo, Your Current Is Ibo Your Step Dad Is ,and Bla Bla Bla Is ..Confirming To Us That You Haven't Been With Other Tribes But Igbos Only and Then Knowing Others Including You aren't Guilty.

@Bigfrancis21

Trying to observe nairaland rules, else i would have rained it on you.

You don't have to justify your culture nor comment on every post you come across.

If you don't have real experience, hold your peace. Am from the ibo speaking part of delta state and also a victim of such relationship.

Even being from the igbo-speaking part of delta state did not help me, as the particular family in question told my girl that it will be over their dead body.

On hearing the news i took time to strategies how to tackle this challenge, but to my surprise the babe made a shocking revelation.
She told me that the mum has actually being informing her of one spare part dealer who is from Anambra who she wants her to marry (true story), and that she has visited the guy severally (ehn ehen?).

On hearing this people i change am for hear. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT NONSENSE? WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? YOU VISITED HIM WITHOUT MY PERMISSION? Screaming at the top of my voice. I angrily went home that day from our meeting joint.

To be fair with her, she later called and tired to calming me down asking; "what do i do"? By then i have already Googled the dude from the names she gave me (serious under cover sh#t). And my people Wetin i see nor help matters oh, the guy already has a car and am still using my most trusted two leg slabaquin.
I told her to follow her heart, which is the most stupid advice i have ever given. I tried analysing it for her as a wafi man,
- you Stick with me we try make it in life together, i graduated top in my department, a chartered accountant, currently doing my msc in accounting, though no job yet but tomorrow MAY be better.
- you go with them, married the guy within the next two years, and thing may blossom between you two.
I decided to ask her one question which i didn't get the answer till date- do you love him? She replied that he is a cool guy (ukpabiokpabio okpokicha, cool guy).

I discharge her that day thinking say my qualification go save me and thus decided to give her the silent treatment. Two weeks later she finally broke the silence with an outright personal invitation for me to their wedding (i die stand) this is a girl i have dated for the past 12 consecutive months, no break. See Wetin first silent treatment bring me, i almost poisoned my friend who gave the silent advice.

Well, that's about my experience with an Anambra babe, she is now married with one issue, leaving happily.

So bigfrancis21, i do not give what i don't have, this is my true story. That our forefathers are corrupt does not mean you should be corrupt, that everybody is going left does not mean you should go left (check ur boko alert before you move oh), that ever tribe is tribalistic dies not been you should be.
Further revelation from her on the negative pressure she received from her parents and siblings (whom i chat and play with every visit)was so shocking that i didn't even bother to go discuss with any of her family members.

I tort i was igbo until i met a lady from across the niger. just one bridge made me realised that there is difference between IGBO and IBO. Today, if you referred to me as IGBO i might slit your throat.

ADVICE: tell your friend to ask the guy directly if he is serious, thereafter discuss marriage possibility. If you must be a relationship ref, you have got to be good in what you are doing. Life is too short for wasting around.

PEACE OUT
