This hasn't got anything to do with being igbo or whatever. African men are tend to be that way. Not limited to Igbo men. |

A yoruba man no matter how much he loves his mother will one day draw the line especially when it comes to relationships This is such a lie. |

Before getting all up in arms over this issue, ask her how many Igbo men she polled, how men Igbo mothers she questioned, how many Yoruba, Hausa, Calabar, TiV people she used to compare and contrast. Ask her these questions before giving her an audience. We don't want "The Voices in my head told me this this this. . . therefore it must be true" |

But Stats show that this could actually be true No matter how rampant it may be among Africans, One tribe or some tribes will top the charts |

I know its a black man thing. I have a Yoruba friend that can hardly construct a sentence without "my mum" But dont you think the Igbos Monogamous background has a part to play in this? |
Re: Igbo Men And Their Mama by chika98: 8:36pm On Nov 04, 2008 |
Gamine: How old is this friend of yours? It really bothers me when "boys" let their mothers control them. |
Re: Igbo Men And Their Mama by Gamine(f): 8:42pm On Nov 04, 2008 |
He's 25 i think. i guess bein the last child and the fact that he's father died when he was young, enhances the attachment. Even though they live apart now, she still manages to enter almost every conversation i have with him. |
Re: Igbo Men And Their Mama by PepERSprAY: 9:03pm On Nov 04, 2008 |
Gamine: You are wasting your time on them because they know igbos have a stronger bond with their mum no matter how they try to argue it. i think their monogamous nature may be a factor or there is some way igbo mothers bond with their children. I never said anywhere that Yoruba men do not have such bonds but it's the strenght of the bond that is in question here. For those that are asking me about opinion polls, ask them how many people they polled when they question Nollywood and how they disgrace Nigerians especially when we look at their record sales. They can also ask me how many people I polled if i claim that : Yoruba men are more romantic than any other race and tribe in Africa Hausa men are more mumuish and adamant than any other tribe in Africa Igbo men are more likely to stay with their wives till the end of time no matter the condition than any other tribe or race in Africa. |

PepERSprAY: And it is because they were sexually abused by their mothers, right? |

Re: Igbo Men And Their Mama by BabyJinx: 10:41pm On Nov 04, 2008 |
You feel sorry for yourself . You start off saying Igbo men are unusually close to their mothers What factor in igbo culture is responsible for the strong affinity between an igbo man and his mother?. An igbo man's mother in most cases has the final say over their lives no matter how much they love their girlfriends or wives. You add that you heard it is because their mother’s sexually abuse them. That love is too much oh. Other tribes love their mothers but an igbo mans love surpasses the one akata men have for their mother. That i think is not natural and something must be behind it. Juju or some form of mental hypnotism. Then you come and say their attachment to their mothers is why they have longer lasting marriage. i think their monogamous nature may be a factor or there is some way igbo mothers bond with their children. Tell me what exactly are you implying here, oh ye queen of daftness? Like I said, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this whole ignorance shctick is nothing but a façade and you just get off on the negative attention it awards you coz if it is real, you what,. . . can’t even bring myself to go there. |

Re: Igbo Men And Their Mama by PepERSprAY: 10:58pm On Nov 04, 2008 |
are you saying the length of a pregnancy differs by tribe? Or childbirth pains differ by tribe?How did you come about this? Is it like the way you assumed I disrespect my elders? People are telling you that women everywhere: especially black women in general and Nigerian women in particular, have close bonds with their sons, and you're still arguing that its an Igbo thing. And in your weird mind, this closeness of a son to his mother is because the mother sleeps with him? Were you raised in a foster home? HuhWho are the people and where is everywhere? Go date an AA guy and test his bond with his mother to see if its less than the Nigerian one. Start abusing his mother and wait for his reaction. If he abuses her along with you, then if you like stay there and don't pick race.Did you read the initial question and reference to AA? Duh As per staying with wives: interview the mormon polygamists and find out the percentage of those who havebeen in their polygamous uninos for thirty or more years.How many Mormons are in Africa? I said Igbo men are the most monogamous in Africa and not the world. Not to worry, you may not know the difference. Monogamy is different from polygamy you know You're every bit as mumuish and stubborn as you claim the hausas are- maybe you have Hausa blood, going by your theory here.God forbid and thank you for your concern. |

At least am now vindicated that these are bunch of wild female cats on heat running around looking for any opportunity to quarrel. They cannot read and comprehend before they open their mouth because they are more interested in making wide remarks. I have tried my possible best to stay off this Tpia for sometime now because there is something in her acumen that doesn't sound right to me but I cannot press it because am obliged to be civil at all cost, thanks to Seun. I may just recoil to my cyst and continue living my life irrespective of their retorts. There is life outside the cyberspace after all. |
