SAMBARRY: you like fight pass your name. Ahannnn





I rebook rebuke you in the name of. ........
Receive your deliverance

Woged2005:

But prejudice is often based on ignorance, and ignorance is a bad disease. I understand "honor your father and mother" contained in the Bible. So how the two lovers feel doesn't matter in this case? How will you feel if you tried to board a half-empty plane in say Italy, and a hostess walks up and take you to the seat next to the toilet because you are African? You probably would raise hell. We ladies are usually on the receiving end of all this drama especially when your family doesn't want you to be with whom you want to be with, then you marry whom they want and suffer the rest of your life. Can't we use this our over-righteous to solve the myriads of problems plaguing out continent?

ferdimako:
I have not seen a rich guy being rejected by any lady for marriage. You know money covers the young women's senses and her mother has learnt.

They all wanna marry the rich and comfortably-off dudes not minding habits and how d cash rolls in...when d chips are down they run back to mama crying...I didn't know... he said he loved me. Prevention is now!

I love your last sentence though.

litetias: Fact is, if I was not Nigerian I probably wouldn't want my daughter marrying one. I'd probably think, just like the rest of the world does, that they're all criminals

Ooh.. Jehovah!!! So if we also know we are like that, why are we always proud of such a negative quality and boast about it?

coogar:

how unlucky the poor orphans must be then..
everyone of them is doomed in their marriage since there are no parents to bless the union.


you make too much sentiments - if my parents or her parents don't agree with our union, there are plenty of people who can stand in as parents on the day.

hell, i am sure i would be able to find parents for hire here on nairaland with as little as N50,000. is it not to pray & wish us well? what else is there?

Woged2005:



True talk though. That's just it. We all like money no matter how much we pretend. The only bad thing is when you allow that love for money blind you and you are no longer rational. I have said it before that there should be a difference between whom you can date, and whom you can marry. If a boyfriend wants to lavish me with money and gifts, let it rain...but I'll be very cautious marrying such a man if I find out that's just his habit because he will surely waste our family savings on mistresses. Smart girls may date a dude for money but will never marry for money. Remember I said 'Smart girls'

Eyop:
Not me ooooh but assuming things didn't go well as a result of disobedience it will be a combination of pepper+tatashe then running from church to church will be a regular routine

ferhyntorlah: At the bolded, it won't happen cos Americans don't believe such. Atleast the guy doesn't have to worry about his wife's family a la spiritual things.

I understand your point but you are seeing it from the American angle but remember that the guy's parents aren't Americans and my previous post can still happen regardless of the person's location but it's a 50:50 thing. Sincerely parent blessing is very important in any Union except they aren't alive to witness the union. However this ur DP almost blinded my eye

ferdimako:
once in UR life U got that word correctly.

MrTeymee: EverybOdy dey warn me say make ah no marry ESAN girl and ah love one..are Esan people that bad??

sihom:



Guys do not underestimate or take for granted the blessing of a parent over an intended union. Sometimes when they rant & rave there's some gut feeling at work about that potential spouse we as children have presented and want to marry. Gut feelings are hard to explain but its a strong feeling telling you something is not right even when you can't place your finger on what it is.

Parents often see things which we are unable to, because of that emotion called loved. I've seen some relatives & acquaintances run into some serious gbese because they ignored the blessing of a parent. Remember these people took care of you from infancy to adulthood, no man or woman can ever love you like they do.

The least we can do is honour them and try to win them over where potential spouses are concerned.

sihom: Coogar,
Orphans are not doomed because there are no parents to bless their union who even said that? You, not me. Can you honestly say to one of your parents to hell with you I'm going to marry this girl with or without your blessings? I can't but if you can that's fine. No quarrel from me on that.
