Chizzy20: There was no insult na...u father has said all na...ok so if i say go and do it anywhere will u take my advice...no nne, as ur dad rightly said, its customary for every lady to be given out traditionally from her father's compoound, so that it would be said that she has people, u know if not for greener pastures that made up scattered everywhere, we should have been in our various villages so this kind of issues will not come up in the first place...and mind u, that place u are based u are a stranger there, even if its another part of ur state 3 Likes |

I strongly advise it is not compulsory on but the traditional myths of the Igbo, but mind you all the Idol worshippers and herbal people will be on ground, any thing evil can be practise then. Are you prayerful, from my experience becareful and be warned..... Cheers........... 1 Like |

Babygal4eva:According to your mom? So it is obvious that you don't even visit there, I see............ Is your mom an Igbo woman? Is she cool with her husbands people? Because no village is fetish. They have their beliefs and gods but it is not compulsory that you join them. Babygal4eva:Your cousins violated the laws of our land and I am forwarding their case to amadioha rightaway. 4 Likes |

IT ISNT COMPULSORY IN MY OPINION.My mum had her traditional wedding in d village cause her mum lived there but when my grandma's niece did hers,it was in lagos 'cause my grandma had moved. Anyway,everyone's entitled to their opinion.I'm not a fan of my village people either,after all the things they've done ![]() Finally,those of you trading insults lack proper training.Calling someone else's mom a LovePeddler,witch etc cause you dont agree with her shows the kind of ''perfect'' and ''cultured'' upbringing you've had Typical of some backward Africans ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

Their is a reason why it is called traditional wedding. You can decide to do your church wedding anywhere but once it is traditional and you are an igbo it should be done in ur village, your husband/inlaws should know ur root. |

This is why our society is getting worse by the day, we are throwing away our cultural values, in my place your father is not the one giving out your hand in marriage, rather it's your uncles. Though if the couples are far away, the father of the girl will have to present the case and it will be officially approved before it can go on. Anything from that is error. If your parents are running away from your village and are telling you fables about your witch uncles, do your investigation well, they have something to hide other what they are telling you. Let's love and uphold our culture |

They say d only constant thing is change. Our culture and tradition is also subject 2 change. Let us look at this scenario. It is called a trad wedding cos everytin is expected 2 be done traditionally I.e d way of the pple and place we come from. So I ideally u re expected u r expected 2 take it 2 ur village, just like when someone dies, dey take d corpse home. But times are changing, so our tradition ought 2 change as well. Going bk 2 d topic,pple find it comfortable 2 do d trad in d city, cos if u take so many factors in2 consideration like d cost of transportation, infact d cost of everytin, plus d stress, den d oda factor most women dread, which I think is just an aside issue, cos anybody dat wants 2 harm you can do it from anywhere, is d issue of "my pple are bad" and dey don't want ur good. So most pple would reason abeg 2 avoid all dis wahala make I do am 4 where I dey. But d point am trying 2 raise here is dat really culture should be dynamic, we shldnt in d name of culture put ourselves in harms way or some form of discomfort. Left 2 me d trad wedding can be done anywhere, just like we do d white mostly where we re comfortable. D best we can do wld be 2 invite some elders from ur area and dey still administer d wedding traditionally. But I know where d problem lies. Most of our parents were raised in d village, so for them, we must go bk for ur wedding.u can't negotiate it, my dad is a good example. Dere is notin u can tell him. My sister did hers in d villa. With time I believe our generation will not see it as a big deal 2 do d trad wedding in d city,I.e when our children want 2 get married, cos we grew up here. For the poster, if ur dad insists, just go by what he says and just commit everytin 2 God's hands. Thanks 1 Like |

OP, there is no smoke without fire. I think the unholy culture of tagging some people 'outcaste' (OSU) in some part of Igbo land gave rise to this unpopular trend of conducting trad. Marriage in foriegn lands. Do you blame such people when they are discrimited against in their villages. If they take any ceremony to their villages, people avoid them like plague. It beats my imagination how people who claim to be Christians still cling to the archaic and paganistic 'OSU' nonsense. I come from a part of Enugu where nothing like Osu exist, so all families in my town do their trad. In the village. |

sCun: First of all thank you for calling my Mum a whoree, I refuse to exchange insultive words with people like you. 2ndly a reasonable person will ask why she said it is a fetish place, do you know who I am? or where I come from? or what my family has been through? what do you know of my life and my experiences that you say my mum is a LovePeddler and I think that Lagos is my land. My dad's family is in a land battle so is my mum's family and seeing as I lost my dad and 2 uncles in the same week yes I will say It here that I won't ever do my trad wedding in either village, pls think before you talk, you think that insulting someones Mother makes you a big guy and because people are liking your comment that you have achieved something yeah? well again I say Thank you and may nobody ever say the same about your Mother 3 Likes |
