CHM11:

Are you based in the east?

Nah. But had my tertiary education there primarily to understand my culture and language very well. Thank God I followed my dad's wise advice if not ehh.. To even speak Igbo for be war not to talk of understanding my folks.

Like something is wrong with you upstairs...my domestic animals are better than you... At least they show signs of trying to communicate...Many like you have no good manners because you have known. You can't bring anything sensible to this thread for us to discuss... If we meet in real life and you behave in this manner... by now I will be begging those beating you not to kill you... Lucky you

. Hahaha. See pot calling kettle black. U are the most mannerless and tribalistic person, I hv ever seeb. Keep living in the dark ages and spreading ur tribal bias. I advise u to cleanse urself of this stain dat u have b4 it is too late. Ewu. Oloriburuku.

Notyourb1tch:
My racist tendencies? All because I said that we are all black and not African. Going by your same premise of Caucasian Nigerians, there are also Caucasian Africans so what was I supposed to call us non-Caucasians Einstein?

When a person uses color to describe another human... Its racist tendencies

Whatever u guys do, better keep my light skin igbo babe for me oh! Or else

Anambra guys are d most caring guys. Ask Lola of p-square

olajide8:

Sis- because they are difficult people* and they can manage each other well- secondly because they feel they are the true igbos' and they don't want to pollute - their blood

just to correct your spelling of ibos

Very true sir. My mum needs to hear this gospel. I love her allthe same.

Plz preach d gospel to her... I hv been doing so to my mom

Anambras are like dat.it happened to.me.very sad bt i insisted on my wife even though she is from enugu

Please ooooo igbos don't marry only from their tribes alone.....am from Imo state and ready for marriage....I need a Yoruba or House lady....am very serious...but you need to know how to cook very very very well cos I am a very good cook, know how to take care of the house, be very very very caring cos I need it so much....then other qualities of a good wife. Not for jokes, am serious

redsquare:


Mumu, you started avoiding Igbos after your NYSC? As if an average Igbo person gives a rat ass what you think about him/her. Nonentity like you seeking online attention. Ogogoro drinking iiidiot.

Kia how would nairaland checkmate underage. This comment is purely stupid and uncalled for.

Like an underage u are, i expect u get back at me even when u have read this part of my msg.

bigfrancis21:


You've kept on mentioning this particular thing again and again and I've asked you, what exactly is weird about them? What exactly don't you understand about them? And what was your experience?

pls I beg u to stop replying dis idiot calling himself chm111. He was dumped by an Igbo and is now venting his anger.A fool at his age is definitely a fool forever.

Radoillo:
*sigh*

How many threads now on the issue of Igbos being too clannish when it comes to marriage?

Maybe I should also start a thread and talk about the two Yoruba girls I dated ( the first during my NYSC days in PH, the second while doing my Masters' in Birmingham) who both told me their fathers would kick me, an Omo Ibo,out of their houses if I dared to show up at their homes talking about marriage.

Igbos are mostly deceivers.... Yorubas find it hard accepting Igbos as in laws but if you are from other tribes they bend there rules

Notyourb1tch:
This thread has a lot of generalisations.

My dad is from Anambra and he went on to marry a woman who is not even from the same tribe and even country as him. He married a Ghanaian

People generally marry who they understand and are comfortable with. It's not just limited to Igbos or Nigerians but Chinese, Indian etc. It's normal. However as can be seen by myself, Anambra men can marry outside their tribe if they really love you and you have all the qualities they want in a spouse.

My dad is the best man I know. I am proud to be from Anambra. Beautiful rich culture and people.

Nice to have you here, Ada.

The point is - there's no norm in igboland as regards ethnic preferences in choosing a spouse unlike it obtains in other places.
Various Igbos in the thread have given examples of their relatives who married from other tribes and nationalities, that gives credibility to my assertion that we're the least likely to marry someone of the same tribe when compared to the other two major tribes.

If you check the rates and statistics of Nigerians in inter-racial marriages, you'll find out that majority of them are Igbos.

More and more Igbos will continue to marry people of other tribes.
Majority of Igbos don't stay in the east, they only come rarely during festive seasons. This means many igbo children will continue to be born and bred outside the south east, which means the possibility of them (these children) getting married to a fellow Igbo is very slim. Also remember that Igbos are not too protective of their culture and traditions like the yoruba's and hausas.
You rarely see an igbo person born and bred outside igboland speaking Igbo or even wanting to identify with their being Igbo. I've seen many Igbo people say they can't or won't marry an Igbo person (mostly females) for reasons best known to them but you'll rarely see a yoruba/hausa person say he/she can't marry a yoruba/hausa.

Due to these trends peculiar to the igbos, (migration, cultural independence and education) many igbos won't end up marrying a fellow igbo in the nearest future. Igbo to Igbo marriages will reduce drastically.

Anybody who doesn't acknowledge this is lying to himself

Thank you sir for this comment. I think the OP is heartless.

They want to kill the igbo tribe off. Inter ethnic/racial-marriage is too high amongst the igbos compared to the other two major tribes. At this present rate igbos will be endangered species.

may amadioha disect your head for using the word igbo coup.

If it was not an "Igbo coup", then what was it?

The only Yoruba man in the team, Adewale Ademoyega, was "blackmailingly" coerced into joining. The other 5 members were core Igbos; Besides, no Igbo was killed in the coup, while the Hausas and Yorubas had their share of victims.

And you think it was not an Igbo coup. No let me swear for you o!

Peppyluv, e don tey o! Longest time...

This character calling himself chm11 must have a damaged brain. U shld be in a psych ward. Ur hatred 4 Igbos will lead u to doom. Why not go somewhere and sensitize urelf because u hv a very big problem.

Stupid generalizations like this lead to tribalism.

Moses married an Ethiopian woman in the Bible, yet he still spoke to God one on one, and received the 10 commandments from His hand.

nzeobi:
We prefer people who understand us better. Nobody will marry from a tribe that will using his hard earned money for owambe and stuffs like that.
Ka chineke mezie okwu

what about my case where I own the money yet her parents are still against it cos I'm from kogi(Igala).

Come to think of it, I don't know why girls from other tribes always want to marry us (Igbos).

Back to your question. We always want to marry our girls because they are the best women in the world.

My elder brother(Anambra) got married to a woman from Crossriver.

I don't even know where mine will come from. Maybe Imo or Edo or Kaduna...


What the op stated can be found in every tribe. "To whom brain is given, common sense is expected".

Na the cash wey she miss dey pain her. Shey they said Igbo people too like money?
