I'm not Nigerian i'm a black american

This is my story.  I'm out with 2 of my guys, in a club around State and North, downtown Chicago.  I walk in the club which was caucazoid, basically it a white club right...you understand.  I spot this cold sister standin on the glass.  I don't know she's Nigerian.  I stepped to her and it was on.  I was feeling her.  She was feeling me.  We danced all night long to whatever rock and roll, techno bullsh*t the DJ played.  These dudes on the other side of the club...  They were dancing too but at the same time they were eying me.  I saw them with my Hatar Radar.  I asked her who she came with.  Those same cats plus some more nigerian ladies.  I played it cool Me and the sister sat down and had a drink.  I really started to dig this girl.  After the drink I was walking her outside when one of the haters snatched her arm and pulls her to the bar.  She's trying to get away but he has his arms around her trapping her inbetween his body and the bar.  He talking to her basically like, "oh no you don't".  I stayed cool, I don't know who she is to him and i'm not about to fight all these cats.  I mean there potentially could have been a big misunderstanding(Furniture moving up in that motha).  I'm peace loving and me and the boys wasn't out for that.  He let her go after a minute or five.  I asked her "what was the problem".  She said "he's Nigerian and Nigerian men don't like to see there women going outside there tribe".  I'm like "Hello you'll at the damn caucazoid club".    Whatever it was all love.  After that I called her and she said It wouldn't be a good idea.  Really now, To bad, her loss.  I was offended, so I didn't bother following up.  We all black right?       Thats what I thought.

This thing we are talking about can actually be a problem most especially when your in-laws dont really like the idea, what about when you dont understand each others language? Then you both speak your languages with members of your family when they come visiting or what? Another tower of Babel.
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by wildcat(f): 6:14pm On Feb 02, 2006
There's nothing wrong with you guys teaching eachother your language
My family for instance is Nigeria rolled in one, we have people form delta,calabar,edo,yoruba,hausa. My sister is married to an Igbo guy, she's calabar, they're learning eachother's language. I'M ALL FOR IT.
I should say I'm the product of an Inter-tribal marriage and I love it

Wait, is Inter-tribal the right word?
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by comely(f): 2:54pm On Feb 13, 2006
It is a matter of love and understanding between you and you partner,it really work
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by sbucareer(f): 3:11pm On Feb 13, 2006

It is hard but it can work. It has worked for Africans and European girls and vice versa. You have to be open-minded person and willing and ready to change and adapt.

Love conquers everything. But love can be dangerous too.

@ gocity we are all black, but its a sad thing that we still have to overcome the differences that exist within the black family - tribal differences and cultural differences are problem blacks have to over come (1) Tribal differences and bigotry is a problem for africans(2) the blacks in diaspora( americans, carribeans and south americans) have thier problems too - afro americans sometimes dicriminate against africans,carribeans and afro americans have cultural frictions and animosities - the typical jamaican girl may find her family prefers her marrying a fellow carribean rather than an afro american.

though we are all black, we are a very diverse globally spread race.we just have to work towards overcoming the kind of stiupid behavoir u saw in that club.Africans and thier tribal differences are the sadest example of disunity within a unity.

Bigtee I feel u!Am a product of inter-tribal marriage(yoruba and Ishan) and presently d girl I love dearly is an Igbo girl n d feelings r mutual so I guess we might be heading 4 d altar, dont get me wrong inter-tribal marriage comes with unique problems o but me if u guys both love each other and share essential virtues then d pros will be greater dan d cons.

I see nothing wrong in inter-tribal relationships. It helps one understand other tribes and cultures of other people in the country. Infact my present babe is an Igala girl and i'm a yoruba guy.
Re: Inter-tribal Marriages: What's Your Take? by ThoniaSlim(f): 9:53am On Nov 26, 2007

Bigtee, honestly if you are blessed, as a Yoruba person, the best lady to marry is an Igbo girl
They quickly understand and play along with you the way life is but it is necessary to have their total mind before rushing to marriage.

Hence, their marriage culture (Traditional) is very difficult if you are not well being
Also they too much sentiment traditionally
Apart from the above they are good to marry as a Yoruba person.

The truth is that our generation don't give a damn about where our spouses come from. My childhood friend married a white guy from Kansas in 2005 and my elder sister in Pennsylvania married one cute ibo brother. I like ibo guys so much but I must confess that they are not as open minded as yoruba guys when it comes to inter ethnic marriage, they always like to stick to their own. Generally, most of our parents were against inter tribal or ethnic or state marriage but thank God that this generation knows better. Gone are the days my dad will tell me never to bring home an ijebu man because he'll be lucky if i marry a yoruba man sef. My prayers is to marry a Naija man tho, precisely yoruba or ibo.
