It is the father that caused this poo. He married a woman that doesn't love his culture and transferred that hatred to her children. I pity the man, he will be buried in the city when he dies. Lesson no. 1, always bring your kids home to get acquainted with your culture. Stop telling your kids lies about your village. Your root is your root,protect it. 3 Likes |

In the first place why did you guys despise your place/culture and heritage? Very soon Gov. Fashola If your family isn't cast-out please give me one good reason why you won't go back to your home town to celebrate with your ancestors. Even though my beloved Abia and Imo igbo speaking state does it. Anambra can't, it's wrong.

seedsower: In the first place why did you guys despise your place/culture and heritage?My friend, this is a general problem that's affecting every igbo state now and not peculiar to any igbo state. I have seen Anambra peeps that does it. Manager Finance in my workplace from Obosi , anambra state that will retire from service next year can not speak igbo. What do you expect from his kids? These are the people that can subscribe to have their trad weddn in the city. |

It should be done in the vilage that is why its called traditional wedding,except the family cannot afford to take it down to the village.I pity that your cousin because the reason she wants to do it in the city is because she claims to hate her village,thats the same way her children will hate her husband's home. 1 Like |

Princess zoe: There is nothing wrong in hosting a traditional wedding in ones father's house in the city. The depising thing is what baffles me even. How can someone from igbo come up to say that she hates igbos? The mother is from yoruba, married to igbo but hate igbos. I guess the woman cojeled her children into this hatred which is bad and their father may have insisted on going to village for the ceremony as a result of their hatred towards their tribe of which has been a big blow to him. If they are refusing to go to the village due to security purposes, let their father adapt but if is just for nonsensical reasons, they should be the one to adapt.this is the REASON i will never marry any tribe if not mine. I pity the likes of p-square e.t.c cuz Their children will never have mouth in Igboland. Dont be deceived by love abeg. Nothing sweet like two couple Speaking Their LANGUAGE be him Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo 2 Likes |

Excellentspirit: Most of the people that do their traditional marriage especially in the cities to me don't know their roots or they re amongst d “OSU” or they are slaves. African Culture generally is dwindling. *smh Meringe: This posts above I believe contain the crux of the matter i.e. erosion of African cultural practices by agents of globalization The op might have said her cousins 'hate' their father's village but I believe what she meant to say was they cannot relate nor connect with their 'roots' I wonder what will happen to our so called 'culture' when the present generation of our parents aged 50 and above die off Many young ones go to their various villages across Nigeria because their parents/guardians compel them Many have been told by this same ones and Nollywood that our villages and extended families are peopled by witches and wizards Apart from during ceremonies like weddings, yam festivals or the yuletide and similar seasons;many a young people can't relate with the village nor function properly there seeing most of what constitutes life to them along with their natural inclinations are formed in cities and towns far from removed from the village To now expect such globalized people to function in our villages because of culture and tradition is outright dishonest to say the least Finally,we (Nigeria's various tribes) have to reinvent ourselves as a people seeing we are holding on to many customs and traditions that the boat of humanity has long evolved from Culture is supposed to be dynamic but many of us are still marooned in practices which our cultures and traditions ought to have evolved and finetuned to reflect current realities and trends. 2 Likes |

I think it is ideal for your friend to do hers in the village because she has to know her roots na. Her father knows what he is talking about. The same thing happened to my elder sister. She wanted to do her traditional marriage in Lagos because we were born and bred here, but my mother and family members refused because that would have been the only time of her going to the village. Her introduction was done in Lagos, traditional wedding was done in the village and white wedding will be done in Lagos this Saturday. So, if money is not an issue, I will advise your friend to do it in the village. |
