I would like to use this opportunity to seek guidance based on the issue I have on ground. I believe it's igbos especially elderly person who is in a better position to give me a reasonable explanation. I told my mum my girlfriend is from ohafia, abia state and she instantly told me I can't get married to her. Her reason is because people from ohafia, arochukwu, izombe, and few other places in abia state are regarded as OSU. I complained to other members of my family but they also rejected her.

I have made some research personally and found out people from other part of igboland marry from those places. Now my question is why are they strongly rejecting her cos it doesn't make sense to call everybody from different local government in abia state OSU.

I've made more research on the girls family and found out they are king makers and her father belongs to eze's cabinet.

Her father and mine are no longer alive. They both have a traditional title and belong to eze's cabinet too. Please I need your advice cos I really want marry this girl. I also know that people encounter alot of difficulties when they want to get married. So I need a clarification from someone who has extensive knowledge on igbo tradition. Thank you

The yorubas have a saying - The dog that would get lost would not hear the hunters whistle.
Your family are telling you something but you say they are wrong, it is nairalanders that know the correct thing. Continue

Whenever I see my grandma, she always hammers I should never marry from like 3 yoruba dialects.

Persephone1:
Your grandma probably bear a personal vendetta against the 3 tribes, it's personal not a general thing.

Obierika:


He did not say 3 tribes, he said 3 dialects which means he's referring to one tribe with different sub-groups

But dialect is language, tribe is the people nah? 🤷🤷

Are you saying his mom picked fight with 3 languages?

There is something they are not telling you.
Seek an elder who is truthful and beg am Wella to tell you the real reason why your family is against the girls place of origin.
