some Igbo parents don't even consent to their children marrying another Igbo from a different state. Very true. This is the sole reason not to pay attention when the so called parents come up with their tribalistic rants. |

Aloy.Emeka: while i dont like the idea of the women giving their meager wages to alcoholic husbands, there's nothing wrong with honest work. Would you prefer them to be prostitutes instead? there's dignity in labor and such people may be in polygamous marriages and doing the work in order to cater for their children. As long as they dont do it forever its not a crime. People do the same type of job when they travel overseas. |

I think because there's a population of muslims in Yoruba that's why there's this idea of a high polygamous rate 1 Like |
Re: Why Do Igbo In Yoruba Land Hate To Give Their Daughter To Yorubas by Nobody: 2:17pm On Sep 29, 2009 |
stillwater: its also a traditional thing though i do know some hard core Yoruba traditionalists who arent polygamous. 1 Like |
Re: Why Do Igbo In Yoruba Land Hate To Give Their Daughter To Yorubas by Nobody: 2:23pm On Sep 29, 2009 |
tpia.: But traditionally, Igbos too were polygamous. My great grand father even had many wives. |
Re: Why Do Igbo In Yoruba Land Hate To Give Their Daughter To Yorubas by Nobody: 2:24pm On Sep 29, 2009 |
stillwater: they changed because of their deep Catholic leanings. Catholicism is very strict on monogamy, and the religion is deeply rooted in Igbo life and culture. Yorubas tend to mix traditionalism with their relatively more liberal orthodox Christianity. Besides, many of the orthodox Yoruba Christians are into secret societies and the like. These all figure in the general attitudes. |

tpia.: They don't have to be prostitutes. They can make a living from selling articles of some sort. You need to see these frail women first hand carrying these loads to understand what i am saying. I am sure their husbands don't know what they go through to make the money but the igbo traders that hire them are to be blamed here[plus the government that has no social welfare]. If they must offload something, let it not be heavy equipments like motor parts. Whether we like it or not, women are not built for moving heavy objects. That is an abuse. |

Aloy.Emeka: well, i dont know the long and short of the matter, or why women are doing it instead of the numerous area boys. But nothing wrong with honest work. They may be trying to raise money to start their own small tomato selling business. Or feed their kids. If it affects their health to the extent they're unable to continue in such a job, then they'll quit I presume. |

stillwater: are you minding the morons? Screaming about polygamy. Isnt it common sense that this is because there are some Yorubas that are Muslims which allows multiple wives hence the polygamy. If stupid women want to marry a man who belives in such, then the outcome is their fault and business. Using that as a justification for the thread is just pathetic |
Re: Why Do Igbo In Yoruba Land Hate To Give Their Daughter To Yorubas by AloyEmeka9: 3:29pm On Sep 29, 2009 |
Because area boys are not interested in making a living the hard way. Some of them are married to these women but will never lift a hoe in their lives. They arrest these women mentally and turn them into a beast of burden. I believe that illiteracy is one inch away from retardation but their husbands are largely illiterates too but were able to maneuver their wive's psyche into absolute subservience. Both their employers and their owners are to be blamed here and Nigeria will never progress if we continue taking advantage of women. This warning also goes to other sectors that hold women down just to protect their territories. |
Re: Why Do Igbo In Yoruba Land Hate To Give Their Daughter To Yorubas by asha80(m): 3:53pm On Sep 29, 2009 |
Aloy.Emeka: I totally disagree with you.The women that do that are they doing so at gun point? |
Re: Why Do Igbo In Yoruba Land Hate To Give Their Daughter To Yorubas by AloyEmeka9: 4:11pm On Sep 29, 2009 |
asha 80: They are not doing it at gun point but its still slavery. We complain and campaign against diamonds in oyiboland because people are killed in Africa for these diamonds. Did oyibos kill those African people or did Africans themselves shoot each other because they are fighting for the control of the diamond mines?. If you cannot blame the men for enslaving those women, why blame oyibos for blood diamonds in Africa?. If you see these women, you will notice that they are mentally enslaved. How can you toil all day and turn around and submit the whole money to baba?. Pimps may scare hell out of harlots but these babas do not threaten them; they just give it up. Something is wrong somewhere and some of them come to market the next day looking for money for breakfast. If you ask them what happened to the money they made yesterday, they will tell you baba has it all. If gunpoint is a measurement for abuse then, so many ills in our society will pass for normal. If these igbo traders stop hiring them and pay labourers a proper wage, may be the men will be attracted to the job and the abuse will definitely stop. Will you let your sister carry hefty loads for people in the first place and what will be your reaction if you discover that another man is reaping the dividends? |

Aloy.Emeka: can you make up your mind if the women are married to area boys or polygamous babas. |
Re: Why Do Igbo In Yoruba Land Hate To Give Their Daughter To Yorubas by AloyEmeka9: 9:33pm On Sep 29, 2009 |
It doesn't matter who they married as long as it's not their fellow women. Most of them are married to baba and not area boys. |

@alloy emeka, thank you so much for saying the truth. i so much agree with you |
Re: Why Do Igbo In Yoruba Land Hate To Give Their Daughter To Yorubas by bashydemy(m): 11:02pm On Sep 29, 2009 |
its because Ibo's dem like money and marrying ibo girl is like buying the girl from her parent and they know yoruba too wise and will not wanna pay whatever they ask for |

Some Yoruba mothers are so nice and not tribalistic. During my NYSC days in Ogun state, a mother game me her fullest support to marry her second daughter. Her first daughter whom I was befriending then was bethrothed to another man. I did not know it and the girl did not tell me either. When her mother found out, she disapproved it and rather suggested I come and marry her second daughter. Even though I did not marry her second daughter, but it was very commendable of a mother to do so. |

bashy_demy: You don't like money? |

besides, area boys are sharp. They'll discover your secrets if you hire them. |

Re: Why Do Igbo In Yoruba Land Hate To Give Their Daughter To Yorubas by AloyEmeka9: 8:05pm On Sep 30, 2009 |
tpia.: First of all, area boys are not interested in working for anybody. They don't have your time. 2nd: Will you trust an area boy to carry your goods from point A to B?. Some are bound to bail with it and if it's an expensive equipment, you will lose heavily. 3rd: There is no secret to discover. They just offload the truck and that's it. It's not as if they are your book keepers. |

Aloy.Emeka: that's your impression of them (area boys) and you're entitled to it. what you give is what you get. Your second point doesnt make sense since you were lamenting the fact that women are carrying heavy equipment. Double talk or you're just plain confused, imo. |
