Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by Nobody: 5:45am On Dec 02, 2009 |
Maybe Igbo men are marrying late too. I know for sure the Igbos aren't into polygamy that much. They are usually very religious and mostly Christians. |

axeman85:@axeman, More grease to ur elbow for adding context and substance to this dialogue. Ur analogy added impetus to the premise of my logic. There is no doubt that some yorubas, like Wole Soyinka and ur humble self, are striving to live beyond these parochialism. Igbos, like the yorubas and almost all other ethnic groups of the world, are not homogenous culturally. In Igboland, marriage expectations and obligations differs significantly. Think about it, many lower class igbos get married. Do they pay millions to get their wives? capital no! marriage in Igboland involves the two potential families and more importantly, the two potential couples. Through ur eloquent analogy, u have punctured the points of those trying to hide the fact tht some (yoruba) parents try to foster tribalism against their innocent children. This is not to say that all of them do that. There is what's called cultural relativity - that people's culture is unique and perculiar to them. Americans are always baffled by some of African cultural practices, including the fact that in some cultures, young ppl are expected to lay postrate, when greeting their elders. Using this prism to judge african culture is flawed and unintellectual. The same is applicable to every ethnic group. |

Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by awumen: 8:09am On Dec 02, 2009 |
i have one simple question here pls dont crucify me ooo just what i noticed,why is that it is our igbo gurls that becomes second or third wives to all these our so called big men?examples; Bode George - Wife number 2 and 3 are igbos Atiku-Wife number 3 is igbo Buba Marwa-Wife number 2 is igbo and so on and so forth,these bothers me because our so called sisters who i meet along the way will tell me they can never be a second wife to any man but alas that's not true atall,i know a few people will mention that yoruba women too also take the place of a second wife but thats not my concern because the yoruba culture might accepted that but as an igbo man who defend igbo sisters then where are we? |
Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by Mekana(m): 8:22am On Dec 02, 2009 |
awumen:U sound like u are delusional. I also doubt your claim of igboness. What is the basis of your assumption? U are able to pinpoint those ones because its not a common occurence among igbos. U therefore neglected other tribes esp. the yoruba ladies' tendency to marry old men as 2nd 3rd 4th wive(s). U need to take a shower. |
Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by otukpo(f): 8:25am On Dec 02, 2009 |
* i have said it b4 i will say it again, those that think igbo marriage is expensive are wrongly informed. No matter how poor u are, u can marry ur babe as long as the family accepts u. * The long list u usually hear of is peculiar to some towns and even at that, the list is negotiable. U can always do 5% of the list and say the payment is continues while u take ur wife without paying any other thing in future. At least am giving u pple some secrets on how to have ur way easy. * Long list oo , bride prize depends on the family and how greedy they are or how much the girl can convince them. * But some guys wld like to show off, even when they are told to bring N5, the wld give them to show they are very capable and probably think it will make them look more manly. * In some parts of igbo land, list does not exist, in most parts, the thing called bride prize is ridiculously low that if i mention the amount some pple will just laugh and say its as good as free. * Pray not to have a greedy parents in-law or a wife that wld want to milk u dry. This is general to all tribes. * But this is not to say the igbos are inviting the non-igbos to come and marry their daughters cos the average igbo parent wld prefer their daughter to marry from igbo land and if possible from the same town. * Whatever age u consider as late for marriage, i still maintain that it is better for a girl to be matured to make her decisions abt marriage than marrying the girl off at a tender age or becoming second place wife. Igbos don't marry late. Get ur informations right and stort peddling rumours. |

^^^^ So I can negotiate a payment plan to marry and Igbo girl ? good news, that means there is still hope for a poor man like me ![]() |

Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by Mekana(m): 2:54pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
awumen:Let me dissect your logic Awumen. your argument seemed to establish that its perculiar to Igbo ladies, which is far from the truth. Others, especially, muslims do it better, remember Yorubas are more or less divided btwn Xtians and Muslims, and even some of their Xtian women marry as 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th wife. Again, that u saw those pictures meant that there are few of them and that its not normanl for us. In this case, clearly the Igbos are at the minority, remember that its a personal issue, every person, boy or girl, lady or a man has the right and choice of marriage in igboland unlike in so many other ethnic groups.u seem to neglect this factor in ur hypothesis. Therefore by arguing otherwise, u ended up affirming these guys' hate argument here. A real Igbo defends his race in the midst of belligerency and institute internal criticism when necessary, thats how to be contructive not destructive.U sound like u are delusional.

Marrying early is not the main fat, the only problem there is understand and love. A lady can marry @ the age of 25 year, dat is when she have understand what family is all about likewise 2 men. ![]() |

Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by THEAMAKA3(f): 3:37pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
no one ever denied that igbos involve themselves in polygamy, but its rare that you do find polygamist couples all over the place. yes they do it, but in great numbers, no. |
Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by Nobody: 3:52pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
@poster they marry late cos they are too beautiful. |
Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by Mekana(m): 3:56pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
THE-AMAKA: Amaka, more grease to ur elbow. Awumen, ur criticism has some merit, but its also flawed in that ur point reinforced the tribalistic paradigm. The topic itself is anti-igbo as well as the variegated bashing of igbo ladies here. if u were constructive in ur assertion, u could make ur point as well as dismiss those false suggestions about us. By not doing that, u hurt rather than help the cause. |

By not doing that, u hurt rather than help the cause. mekana i also agree with amaka but my point is that our sisters do not marry late just for the sake of late marriage,they sometimes marry late because there is need for that,i have also met yorubas and hausas who marry late,so it is not peculiar to igbos alone. |
Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by THEAMAKA3(f): 4:46pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
also its hard to find a lot polygamist families in igbo land because the majority of them are christians and believe in one man and one wife. allah or the koran even said a man can marry up to 4 wives (i found that out watching the video where the man married 86 wives. lol) , so other cultures most likely see nothing wrong with it (not that its wrong in any way). so there you have it. |

Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by Nobody: 5:10pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
Mekana: the same amaka who has declared her ambition to be a CONCUBINE to some rich man whether Yoruba or whatever, is the same one you're saluting here? Una like to deceive una selves sha! what's the meaning of concubine? Do single men have concubines? ![]() |
Re: Most Igbo Girls Marry Late Why? by Biatide1: 5:18pm On Dec 02, 2009 |
@ Poster Igbo ladies dont marry late or is there any proof to back this unfounded argument? there may be matured igbo spinsters probably still searching but that is not peculiar to igbo ladies alone. the point am making is late marriage is not synonymous with igbo girls, period, pls check your fact, am a living example married early schooled , have kids, and by Gods grace strong and stable in my home |
