Fellow Nairalanders, I heard one very funny story yesterday that got me thinking.

The story goes like this, two peeps want to get married, the chic is a graduating medical doctor from d akwa ibom, 22, while d guy is an ibo trader 36-ish, says he is a graduate but shoots english like crazy.They met earlier on in d year. Now introduction has been done, and wedding preparations are booming. D mother of the girl has her doubts abt the guy as he didnt come with his father for the introductions, says mother is late, he claimed the father was indisposed. She shared her thots wid her friend and d friend suggested to her to really look into d family of d guy b4 giving her daughter out. One amusing thing is dat she went there with d girl, that is her daughter(who says its her first time of visiting d guys part of the family), and the guy, imagine that. Anyway, they get there, somewhere in d east, and on entering the fathers compound, there is a dangling broom at the front door, and d man recieved them wid 20 naira in a plate and kolanut on top of it, i dont know if it is enuf reason to say d man is a dibia sha o, but the woman was very worried abt what she saw. She came back, told her hubby, n d man is turning deaf ears abt it n is continueing wid d wedding preparations of his daughter, she has tried to talk to her child not to rush into d marriage cos she has only known d guy for some months, but she is too in love to listen.

It got me thinking, love is in d air no doubt as d chic is bent on marrying this guy, but seriously, with dis kind of revelations, if u were in her shoes what wuld you do. this is not just for women, please d guys out there, if u find out ur girls parents are juju people, what wuld you do?

Presenting someone a kolanut and 10N does NOT mean one is a ND,it simply shows the visitor is welcome and accepted.
Poster,there is a  huge difference btw a traditional herbalist and native doctor . . . .which one bothers you.
I wont leave a correct guy cos his father is either a herbalist or native doctor

what has your father in law's religion got to do with your happiness with your spouse?

Poster,

Have they been able to find out why the father inlaw could not make it to the introduction?
Good and God fearing inlaws are a good support for a marriage.
