waternogetemeny: Stop being so melodramatic. In this day and age, a lot of people from other tribes are Christians who have given their lives to Christ, and have been washed by His blood through faith in His name. ![]() Does the fact that they are not Igbos mean they are still 'idol worshipers?' ![]() Didn't Joseph the son of Isaac, marry an Egyptian? So please stop using Samson as an excuse. Even in the lineage of our Lord Jesus, Ruth his great grandmother was a Moabitess, and not an Israelite. Rahab the former harlot who helped the Israelites gain entry into the city of Jericho ended up being one of the ancestors of Jesus. She came from which tribe? ![]() God did not endorse marriage with 'idol worshipers', but He was not against other tribes. Was He not the one who created those other tribes or were they created by the devil? Free your mind, please! ![]() |

This one Nigeria shit is getting into our brain from the back door. It's all a ruse. My culture can not vanish, my traditions must live till eternity. I can't be speaking English in my home and to my in-laws. If am gone, my kids must know dia root, they must not vanish in thin air. @op, u and ur friends no see urobo people go date? Am in warri, when u say a hi to an urhobo chick, she hears ur accent, next question she ask is, re u igbo? The zoom she goes to dat a barber or a valgnizier. And the end of the day she's not married after all. If igbo guy date dem for 3 months, dey cry foul. Wen dia people will keep dem in his hut for 10 year as gf without even knowing dia parents, dem go hide dia sins and bring igbo people own all out. God is watching in a 108" 3D tv 5 Likes |

J12: You said "there's no norm in igboland as regards ethnic preferences in choosing a spouse unlike it obtains in other places. " I beg to disagree. ![]() Just as you have a few Igbo people citing examples of inter-ethnic marriages within their family, you also have several Igbo folks that have stated they would not marry outside their tribe. And they have given reasons to substantiate this, even within this thread. e.g. from certain expectations given their position as the first son, to so-called 'biblical' reasons etc. In many cases, you would find the latter set of people who prefer not to marry from other ethnic groups, are more than the former. Unless you have not resided in the South-east for a long time, then you would be familiar with folks especially from towns like Nnewi etc., who make it clear that they prefer to marry within their enclave as a norm. |

anambra people are very industrious and supportive but they segreggate a lot, they have this false beleif that they are superior to all igbo races and beyond, they caused most problems in igbo culture today, by inculcating the habit of no money no life, their women are very hard hearted, wicked and materialistic, their husbands usualy die before them and they see it as the normal, just try and keep properties for them, then you can go, anambra women invented the bad attitiude of no money no love that is giving men so much headaches today, their men live all their life accumulating wealth for their women, they never enjoy their life and relax, cos their culture says that a man without money is half a man, go to anambra they are one the most undeveloped state in the east,upon all their known rich names, it is a land of wise people, even the baby in the womb is wiser than the grown up man, they are just too uncivilized and too fetish, they are suffering from a disease called superiority complex... 3 Likes |

laudate: Judges 14:3 ► New International Version His father and mother replied, "Isn't there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me. She's the right one for me." Numbers 36:3 ► New Living Translation But if they marry men from another tribe, their grants of land will go with them to the tribe into which they marry. In this way, the total area of our tribal land will be reduced. Genesis 24:38 "My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live; 38but you shall go to my father's house and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.' Genesis 28:2 1So Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and charged him, and said to him, "You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan. 2"Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father; and from there take to yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban your mother's brother. 3"May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples.… The bible says marry from your tribe for maximum peace.I am not against inter-tribal marriage but against those making it compulsory. That is suspicious. 2 Likes |

Yes we are superior breeds can you go and kill yourself now. For your information Anambra is the most developed state east of the niger. You can take that to the CBN. Have you seen somebody that is not from Royal family that ruled England? We are a special breeds we do not mingle with inferior breeds like you people. It is not by force that you must marry our girls because you are not even human enough to do that In that we do not give out our daughters to inferior people. Anambra has the best and brightest minds in Nigeria right the time of the great Zik, Ikemba, Achebe etc.. Ife eji abu onye Anambra erika..

Take this from an Igbo girl - If a man wants truly wants to marry a woman, her ethnic group would not stop him. No/ or few Igbo parents would disown their children because of their partner's ethnicity. The very worst that could happen is animosity for some time or boundaries would be established. Ethnicity only presents a good excuse for a person to not marry someone they never intended to marry or were not completely sure about marrying. Having said that, I see nothing wrong with wanting to marry someone of your ethnic group or from neighbouring groups. Igbos from Imo have married people from Rivers groups mainly, Abia Igbos have married from Ibibio groups, Ebonyi Igbos from Efik groups, Delta Igbos from Edoid groups, Enugu Igbos with people from Benue groups, since the beginning. If Anambra Igbos choose to keep to themselves, let them be. 5 Likes |

waternogetemeny: The first comment you quoted came from Samson's parents, and not from the Lord God. There are other instances of Israelites who married women from other tribes and yet their hearts were not turned away from God. e.g. Joseph who married an Egyptian, Moses who married a Midianite, Boaz who married Ruth a Moabitess etc. Solomon's case was a rather strange one, as his folly lay in marrying multiple wives rather because he could not be content with one. I asked you a question earlier which you have coveniently ignored: " In this day and age, a lot of people from other tribes are Christians who have given their lives to Christ, and have been washed by His blood through faith in His name. undecided Does the fact that they are not Igbos mean they are still 'idol worshipers?' ![]() Didn't Joseph the son of Isaac, marry an Egyptian?

@ bigfrancis21 Thumb up Bros , you see this has been the lots of other tribes against Ndigbo since the advent of GEJ administration, Bashing Ndigbo for meaningless issues that u can find common among other tribes in this country doing that goes to show how deep seated the envy , anxiety , inferior other tribes feel about Ndigbo in this country .( One thing is clear One with God is Majority )This is the case of Igbo People in Nigeria , Heat them or love them were ever they are they represent Progress Period. Last time I checked The state of Israel is still waxing strong in the face of Arab orchestrated evil campaign still they can't stop what God has Chosen.

laudate: If 60 percent of Igbos marry from their tribe and the remaining 40 percent marry from other tribes, I wouldn't call that a norm. I don't know if you've read the comments of Igbos of this thread but majority of them have refuted the OP's claim by stating that they have various relations married to non-igbos. Nnewi is just a negligible excuse for your claims, the population of Nnewi people are not more than 1 percent of the total Igbo population. There are bigger Igbo sub-groups that are very open to inter-tribal marriages like the Mbaise and Ngwa people. Hence, the idea of using Nnewi as a reference point makes no sense. 1 Like |

We are special people. We do not marry inferior people like you. Probably an Anambra girl has dumped u in the past now is time for you to cry and whine. We are not ordinary..so next time u want marry go and look for ordinary people like you. In Anambra we marry ourselves because we understand what marriage is about and not your useless girls that sleep around without home training. Our girl are of high quality and not quantity.

J12: U dnt say? Nice study sha. Lemme tell u something, no igbo kid born outside his region of both igbo parent dnt understand igbo. No matter how much English is been spoke to him or her, tell him any thing with the deepest igbo, u'd be surprised ur study would be edited. Secondly, for that reason which make every man no matter how wealthy sends downs his ward down east for studies, dia they learn everything necessary and would never go back to wia ever the same. I had a lot of dem wen we got into university, dey never wished to go back to lagos. I was born in the north, I schooled in awka and do u know how much I have forgotten hausa and how sharp am in my culture now? Both in speech and otherwise. People from igbo nmarry from other tribes I know, even Ebonyi but for Anambra and Enugu? We dnt play with our culture. As for the ladies who dnt wish to get married from home, reason is cos our men re so choosy and dem girls are in the wrong end of it cos of age. Everyone needs a right partner. 1 Like |
