That's true, Yoruba's migrate sparsely to Igbo land. About the marriage, it's yoruba men who always marry igbo women. Yoruba believes Igbo people are not cultured & lacks respect. There shouldn't be ethnicity discrimination in marriage abeg

Well... Cultural stereotype can be found in every tribe.
Igbos believe Yorubas are Lazy (in the sense without school or government work they barely do anything else)
They also believe Yorubas are loud and can't be trusted 100%

Gajagojo:
So a man will wake and think in his head I want to court Ibos to form a united southern front and go and marry a woman for that reason?

Is that how your brain works?

The guy you replied to is an igborilla. He won't understand what your last question means.

Lolz at the last sentence. Stop fooling yourself. The only Yoruba men that marry igbo women are men that are gay to some extent. No man in his right senses will marry a hairy chested, yam-legged "woman" that has enough testosterone to make a stallion look like a damned wimp.

Igbo women are not for poor Yoruba men

It's everywhere

People will rather marry fresh faced and lovely-complexioned and feminine Igbo ladies than to be associated with chimpazee-like, ashy black smeared, scratched-face, husky voiced dry-looking, smelly and dirty woman.

And btw, you will agree with me that Davido is not gay. I also don't believe FFK is gay. So why are they married to Igbo women, and yet are not gay?

100%.
I live in Anambra and thats why i might marry an Igbo lady but aside that, I'm smart enough to know that 'woman' is just a gender and outside this, each of them have diff experiences,background and knowledge to act and live as a unique person and that defines them far more than their race or tribal identity

I dont even care about the race, shey na ordinary tribal diff i go com care about

Even though i don't agree with the term 'race' since there's only one race, I'd say yeah! You're right

Igbos and Yoruba love marrying themselves? This is news since it's a rare thing to see a Yoruba woman in Igbo land

Rarely have I seen an Igbo man marrying an Yoruba woman, and the Yorubas who marry Igbo women are those they met in Yoruba land, and have been 'accultured' to Yorubas

In reality, most Igbos don't know much about Yoruba culture, and most Yorubas don't know much about Igbo culture

However, it is important to note that Yorubas and Igbos have been age-long political enemies, and that's why both tribes have no business being in one country together

who told you igbos dont marry Yoruba peter of psquare married a Yoruba woman

Love is blind. But in politics, love is not blind.
If the western region was a country, they will manage themselves and the eastern region will respect their sovereignty.
In a situation that nobody cares about the country in addition to fake patriotism, there will always be disagreement amongst those two tribes.

[quote author=DevilsEqual post=130758943]


I didnt read beyond your first line. How can there be more igbo wives in Yoruba homes than Yoruba wives

My comparison is between Igbo women and women from other tribes, not Hausa and Yoruba inclusive


Yorubas marry Yorubas more. the population of Yoruba men marrying Igbo women is far less than the population of Yoruba men married to their fellow Yoruba women. Now, we dont really marry the Hausas for obvious reasons

Again, using factual cases like the issue of Presidents and Govs from SW, Its obvious that its really about Yoruba men marrying more from other tribes than any other men

Igbo women are more than calabar,Benin and co, so you dont expect to see more inter-tribal marriage between Yoruba and Efik than you would see between Yoruba and Igbo


I'm surprised u couldnt deduce this from my comment

Na wa o

So you think you're actually having an interaction with an intelligent individual? You go explain tire then!

Look, women are no longer bound by the preference of the men's culture to marry within.

Yoruba men were put in their place long time ago and their women marry outside their ethnic group well before other African women. Igbo men are still struggling with keeping their women under their culture. Hausa women hardly marry outside but they do now.

As for beauty, fair skin and colors of the eyes are not attributes of beauty in Africa. Only wannabes appreciate them and even bleach their skins.

Fulani are the fairest ladies in Nigeria and they do not beat the drums on it.

kettykin:
He is saying, Yoruba men marry igbo women but igbo men rarery (like 1 in 1,000,000)marry yoruba women.

Igbo men marry Germans, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, English, French, even Arab, ibibio, efik, fulani, igala, edo, idoma, igede, ijaw, isoko,urhobo but rarely marry yoruba women

On the contrary, it is the Yoruba women that rarely agree to marry igbos men.

A Yoruba lady will agree to date an igbo guy, but the moment he proposes marriage to her that is the end of the relationship. You will begin to hear stuff like ' laye laye, mi o le fe omo ibo'. That is , I can never ever marry an igbo.

I have seen this happen several times between an igbo guy and a Yoruba lady.

An igbo lady on the other hand will be the one to ask you about the direction of the relationship if you fail to propose to her on time (except if she doesn't love you)
Most igbos ladies don't discriminate when they are in love. There Yoruba counterpart discriminates alot.

Try and speak for yourself.My two cousins and a nephew are married to Yoruba women.
What do you expect when millions of Igbos are living and working in Yoruba land?Marriage must happen between the two tribes because both mingle in every day life.

Here we go again with the ignorant talk. It not about Igbo women being “accultured to Yorubas”.

It is about Igbo women born in the SW, or relocated there in early age, witnessing a superior, respectful , fairer and more sophisticated culture they prefer to marry into.

I know this beautiful Igbo lady aged 29, born and raised in Lagos and her dating history has been almost entirely Yoruba guys.

She is very intelligent and makes cogent argument against marrying Igbo men even an IPOB supremacist and rabble rouser like you would not be able to pick holes in.

She will itemize the chauvinism against women inherent in Igbo families and the casual relegation of women to second class, in the marital home, automatically and always in the wrong in dispute with their husband.

You’d probably beat her up savagely by the time she starts analyzing why Yoruba men and their families are much better, more supportive. and more fair to women who enter their family by marriage.

I know you will deny it but women are clever at not telling the truth to spare men’s feeling, especially chauvinistic men like Igbos, but one day a brave Igbo girl, sophisticated and exposed to other culture, will tell you how unappealing you guys are even as you fancy yourselves the Dog’s bollocks.

Igbo women who marry Yoruba men do so for love, peace of mind, supportive and respectful treatment from their spouse plus wahala-free and sane in-laws

For every one of those 2 people, there more than 2 million ignos who married Germans, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, English, French, even Arab, ibibio, efikl, fulani, igala, edo, idoma, igede, ijaw, isoko,urhobo

We still have more yorubas marrying these foreigners than the igbos . Take the current European tournament for example, there are about 7 players from Nigeria root representing their maternal country.

5 of them were yorubas and only 1 bears igbo name. There are many other instances to show that the yoruba men are only liberal in their choice of marriage and no because the igbos ladies possess anything special.

I will also add that Yoruba ladies hardly accept marriage proposals from igbos men. Take it or leave it, most yorubas, especially the ladies still believe that most igbos men are criminals. This mentality plays huge role in their decision making and you can't blame them for that.

That’s because most smart Yoruba women will never marry Igbo men because they don’t want to deal with the worst, most chauvinistic, most intolerant and most tribalistic in-laws on earth.

Igbo families are toxic. Women marrying into Igbo families as, as non-Igbo “outsider”, do so at their own risk. Akeredolu’s wife they told to stay away from Imo and remain with her “new people”. Bianca they told to stay away from contesting office in Anambra.

Only a foolish Yoruba girl and ‘original sufferhead’ will go and marry into toxicity especially if she then has to live in Igbo land.

Did not think of that and that may indeed be a factor but what I know and have heard from most Yoruba ladies is that they fear marrying into Igbo families because of the reality of how Igbos are hostile and unfair to “outsiders”.

Not denying there are nice Igbo guys out there Yoruba women will fall in love with but they just won’t go as far as marriage because they are petrified of Igbo family drama and wahala. They’d rather compromise and marry a Yoruba or Edo guy they love less than their Igbo boyfriend.

Even Igbos themselves cannot deny that Igbo mother-in-laws are the most aggressive and worst portrayed in Nigerian film and public/social media space and this is because there is no smoke without fire.

Every smart man or woman know you are marring the family of your spouse also and not your partner alone.

It is much worse for Yoruba women because you will have to follow your Igbo husband to his side whereas Igbo women married to Yoruba men follow their husband to better civility, good in-laws, more peaceful married life and far less drama and toxicity.

If the following cultures and tribes ( Germans, Chinese, Japanese, Indians, English, French, even Arab, ibibio, efik, fulani, igala, edo, idoma, igede, ijaw, isoko,urhobo )dont have problems marrying igbo men and igbo men are not marrying yoruba women then I don't need rocket science to know what the issue is

I personally dated more igbo ladies than any other tribe before I got married (it is not a thing of pride sha, there is no glory in dating lots of women).
Truth is, an igbo lady don't beat about the bush.
If you come to her and she loves you, she will oblige you without wasting much of your time.

An average yoruba lady most times behaves like she doesn't know what she wants. Even if she loves you, she will still be forming hard-to-get. Igbos ladies mostly don't have time for that.

Yeah not uninvited but they attend pass..

They are molded by the lifestyle and norms of “Lagos” which is predominantly a Yoruba lifestyle…

Nothing wrong with that….but that encourages them by upbringing and environment to like Yoruba guys…who in turn mostly would say Igbo gehs are very good looking.

So its the sheep that left the farm to enter the Savannah, and sees lions masquerading as goats and you know what happens afterwards…
