Revealpanda: This is true. Igbo girls born and raised in Lagos tend to be sophisticated and they respect themselves. It is those una village Amaka who are always annoying and ghetto. Like one Nairalander Igbo girl called Loveth . Very bigoted, hateful and agbero thing. Wonder where she ran off to. 1 Like |

Godfullsam: They don't even know that many Yoruba Muslims marry many northerners too. Igbo and grandiose delusion Ajimobi son married Ganduje daughter Afe babalola son just married Tafawa balewa grand daughter. We Yorubas are very liberal with many thing and I don't like it! 1 Like |

Fortruth: All this just to make it seem like Igbo girls like Yoruba guys. Like I said... They only consider Yoruba guys if they're rich and affluent with a lot of power and respect. I'm yet to see an igbo girl marrying an average Yoruba man... It's not possible. Yoruba men have very bad record with it comes to dating and relationships... It's not about their looks but their promiscuous lifestyle.... 1 Like |

Igbos and Yorubas have now turned into the Hutus and Tutsis of Rwanda so just expect such marriages to gradually come to an end. The hatred between both sides is now so great. The Yorubas are working with the Northerners to keep the Igbos out of the federal government while the Igbos are also battling to take over Lagos state as a compensation for losing the federal government. Gone are the days of my youth in 1990s Lagos when we Igbos were working together with the Yorubas against the military Northerners. I had many Yoruba girlfriends then. But the Northerners later enticed the Yorubas with money and power thereby leading the Yorubas to forget Igbos. Anyway let’s grab some popcorn and watch how things go. |

WizardOfNG: Sophisticated culture? You think that is what makes a happy marriage? Sophisticated culture is not what will.pay the rent, take of kids, put food on the table or be their for one during the ups and downs of marriage At the end of the day, marrying someone good is most paramount. However, the point to note is that Igbos and Yorubas are two tribes that happened to find themselves in one country due to the colonial machinations of the British The two tribes are eternal political enemies, which is what causes them to fight online everywhere Yorubas and Igbos have no business being in one country together, both tribes are better off in seperate countries of their own, then there will be no politics to fight about any more 1 Like |

Godfullsam: Bro,this your last paragraph is true I've always dated Igbos all my life, in fact, at point, I was beginning to think there's something that chases Yoruba ladies all the time. Not until i realized it's all down to how I approach women. I like to give off this vibe of 'a very adventurous guy ready to explore weird kinks', trust me, igbo ladies would risk any type of lifestyle with u but Yoruba girls are so conservative that they'd rule u out as soon as they feel you're not that modest |

gidgiddy: You are so pathetic! Emeka Anyaoku’s wife is likely a Cameroonian woman! I don’t even want to mention young Igbo men like Peter Okoye that at a time, it seemed they were competing among themselves. Go to your own village now and ask the tribe of any non Igbo woman. She is likely to be Yoruba, Igala, Idoma, Erik , Ibibio or Edo. A few are Hausa or from other countries but not as numerous as these tribes mentioned. Blind Hate is a mental sickness. You can’t just hate a woman that loves you merely because she is Yoruba or Igbo. |

Revealpanda: There are a lot of Igbos and Hausas in Yoruba land There are a lot of Igbos and Yorubas in Hausa land There are extremely few Yorubas and fewer Hausas in Igboland The reason is that IIGB0S (unlike Hausas and Yorubas) are not accommodating.

Realtruth2023: 1) South East does not have a cosmopolitan city and you know it. The reason for this is simple, IIGB0S are too hostile and completely not accommodating 2) You seem unintelligent and hardly even know what cosmopolitan means. Enugu is the only city in the south east with Igbos from different backgrounds but that does not mean it is cosmopolitan. Please check the meaning of cosmopolitan so that you stop disgracing yourself on social media 3) South East is the only region in Nigeria without a single cosmopolitan city and that is a statement of fact. How you hope to argue it without sounding very ST00PEED would be comical enough. 1 Like |

DevilsEqual:First off, your analyses about Yoruba men marrying "more" of Ibo women than women of other ethnicities is NOT accurate. I also have to debunk the asinine assumptions of a few unintelligent posters of South-Eastern Nigeria Ibo origin on page 1 that Yoruba men are rushing to get married to Ibo women. This is a deluded and highly MISLEADING conclusion as Yoruba men PREFER their own women over others outside their CULTURAL space based on my readings and observations of the social space for many decades now. It's the same thing all over the world where people from specific "races" and ethnicities PREFER to get married to those who are ethnically and culturally similar to them. A lot of White men and women in the U.S. and Canada usually prefer to get married to their own kind based on actual surveys that have been conducted in the past. Second, based on the Change of Names (by mainly young women and men) published in the classified adverts sections of Nigerian newspapers that I first observed out of curiosity back in the 1990s, ONLY about 9 in 10 Yoruba men [slightly over 90 percent of Yoruba men] marry women from Yorubaland and the remaining 1 in 10 [10 percentage marry MAJORLY from Edo and Delta States [namely Bini, Esan, Etsako, Urhobo, Itsekiri, the liberal Ika/Agbor; Ndokwa/Ukwuani; Aniocha and Oshimili areas all in Delta North (Anioma)]. Yoruba men living in the urban areas such as Lagos, Ibadan, Calabar, Port Harcourt in the South of South states also have a large pool of women of Ibibio, Efik, Annang, Ejagbams, Rivers indigenes, and Ijaws to get date and get married to. Indeed just like YOU posted, It's very obvious that Yoruba men are married to MORE women outside their ethnic group than Nigerian men from other ethnic groups. For Yoruba men who are Muslims, they are able to penetrate the majority Muslim areas of the North-Central, North-West and North-East of Nigeria and get married to their women be they Ibira, Igala, Nupes, Hausa, Kanuri, etc. Just late last year, I read about the Nigerian Senator Ali Ndume representing Borno South who said TWO of his daughters are married to TWO Yoruba men who are indigenes of Lagos State! The Oluwo of Iwo Kingdom (Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi) is married to a Fulani woman from Kano (but her mother is said to be from Ilorin) who is the Olori or Queen. The Oba of Ikateland (Ikate Kingdom) in Lagos State, Oba Saheed Elegushi also got married to Olori Hadiza Tanko-Yakasai as his second wife who is an indigene Kano State. Although the Tanko Yakasai family are originally of Jukun paternal descent from Taraba area back in the day, but they have become naturalized Kano indigenes. This practice of naturalization by other ethnic groups besides the indigenous Hausas of Kano is very common in Kano State. =>https://www.nairaland.com/5168612/oba-saheed-elegushi-marries-hadiza/2 Another major percentage out of the remaining 10 percent of Yoruba men who get married to non-Yoruba women are the millions of Yoruba men in the Diaspora who are also getting married to Americans, British, Germans, French, Ivorians, Turkish, Ghanain, Carribean, etc, women wherever they are based. A lot of Yoruba Diasporans also get married to Yoruba women who live in the Diaspora as well. Hope this helps. 1 Like |

Revealpanda: South East is the only region in Nigeria without a cosmopolitan city Yes, there are a sprinkling of Hausas in South East but can you compare to the millions of Igbos in the north SS and SW? Igbos are allowed to settle down and do their business in other regions without molestation. But same people will be persecuting other Nigerians in their midst Indigenous people of SW, SS and North sell lands to Igbos without problems, but the reverse is the case with Igbos. They are fond of frustrating and persecuting strangers in their midst and it is a community thing. Even Peter Obi was deporting northerners out of Anambra while he was governor IIGB0S are the most hostile people in Nigeria and you know it. Your attempts to argue this fact is very disgusting to say the least. You should rather advice your people to change their hostile ways 1 Like |
