I asked you because you used 'millions' to qualify when one is ready to marry.

Do you even know what marriage is by-the-way or you think it's something one just jump into because he made some money?

You are still digressing. Most Igbo men will use their financial status as an excuse not to settle down in time with a lady. That is why I made reference to their millions.

If they were not ready, how come they were having kids with these women? Why did they not marry them while their mum was alive? They did not because the old woman objected to those relationships, in no uncertain terms.

Now that she is gone, they have gone to pitch their tent with these same set of women...

I've come to a conclusion that all these attacks are to forbid Igbos from marrying from within.

Why would others want to marry Igbos?

An Igbo man would very likely going to be a middle class income earner and they are reputed to adore and lavish affection on their wives? Which girl wouldn't want that?

An Igbo woman is reputed to be beautiful, loving, very hardworking and supportive of her husband financially. Most importantly, an Igbo woman is less likely to cheat and less likely to divorce than most others. Which man wouldn't want that?

Now they all want us to abandon our own so they would profit from our good traits.

Lie Lie!

Some Igbos are good no doubt... To find the good one is the problem... They behave alike. I kept on telling them that since independent Igbos have been singing the separatist song...they seem never to be at peace with everyone.. Now they are still at it... Na only them... It shows something must be fundamentally wrong with them to fancy genocide and treason as a way of life.

They consistently draw hates to themselves by arrogantly extolling falsehood. People will never trust them because they don't care about what they think concerning their bad behavior...

QED.

To me, this is no big deal. My parents had no right to decide for me a life partner. I was dating an ijaw girl for 3 years and everybody in my family loved her so much. On the fourth year we were making plans for my marriage and in that same year she got pregnant for my friend. As usual she said it is the devil. I had no choice than to leave her with the devil. Now my parents are now bringing in the logic y we don't leave our teritory when we wanna get ourselves a wife. But the choice is still mine to make not theirs okay?

Now it is money and having kids out of wedlock, why not ask Flavor N'abania why he is still unmarried to better understand ones reasons?
Or is it Flavor's mum that is preventing him from marrying too?

I frightened you son.... Lol Hahaha. Olodo...you can't even make complete sentence without making mistakes. I wonder the school that trained you. Don't quote me again if you don't have any meaningful thing to discuss...so empty

U re really calling for a duet, guess u get it to the fullest the day u dnt expect.

U need to indulge ur self in something meaningful and stop feeling like a boss online.
Life is worth more than all this ur rant, if u ve lost direction, I'd advise u go for a sould search to get whole for once.

No hard feelings, am just feeling bad that we've lost another brother and it a shame

Oh, they had millions, had dropped hit singles, played to sold out concerts at home & abroad and could afford to live in luxury before their mum passed away. So why didn't they marry these girls, when she was still alive?

There were issues with both ladies, now.. How come the guys were now suddenly 'ready', after they lost their mum who had opposed their relationships in the first place??!

Stop writing rubbish and blaming their mother as if u were there.

Engee married an igbo girl after their mother died, He senior the twins, was it d mother that blocked his marriage too?

Stop listening to too much gossip from linda ikeji blog

Nobody is making funny insinuations. Some of us actually know these girls and what they went through, before they eventually got married to P-Square.

Anita gave birth to Paul's son more than a year before she married him. Lola Omotayo gave birth to 2 kids long before she tied the knot with Peter. If you do not have the inside gist of what went on behind the scenes, consult those that know and stop drawing up funny similarities with other people, where none exist.

Can you give your daughter or younger sister this same advice?

Just asking.

My would be daughters will never have friend's that will be more Catholic than the pope.

They will be sensible daughters capable of handling their relationship issue's when any arises and not the issues that only exists in the figment of the imaginations of a so called friend.

My name is Tracy.I was raised up in a divided home where my dad have to take care of myself and my younger sister alone after my mother left us for another man.My dad did all he could for us to see us through life.He sacrificed everything for us.He chose not to get married again because of us.Without being told u should know wat it means for a man to raise two females alone.That was a difficult and time-consuming task if u ask me.Throughout these years my mother never surfaced. To cut d long story short,I'm now old enough to get married now,but my dad insisted I marry from his religion which we were also brought up wit.Now d problem is,my dad wants me to marry from his religion at all cost due to his position and d love he is getting from d members!I on my part tried dating a man from his religion when d pressure from him was much.He threatened to disown me and never attend my wedding if I go outside his religion. Hmmm!this is my lovely dad that I can't trade d love I have for him for anyone!This man he wants me to marry is poor,he has no education of any kind not even secondary school but I am a graduate!The man in question is 39 while im 27.The man loved me very well and I've even gone to see his family but my heart is very FAR from him I swear.Now I want ur honest opinion,will I not be an ingrate if I go against my fathers wish?I will only be happy if I'm allowed to marry d man of heart but at d same time I want my dads happiness,wat do I do?

marry the man of your heart,ur dad will get over it and live with it cause he loves you unreservedly. Be forced to marry that man he is pushing towards you and you will unhappy and miserable the rest of your life to the point of resenting your father for it. be wise,your daddy is old now,handle him with wisdom and love as you would your baby. u dont give him every thing he wishes because you love him......

Igbo women are faithful even until death. They don't cheat anyhow because they value marriage and relationship....

. Faithful indeed the family section here on nairaland is filled with so many tales of unfaithful Igbo women and I have witnessed so many ones in real life, you people just love deceiving yourselves, deluded lots

Don't understand honestly how this sort of thing happens still in the 21st century, and it saddens me when you still see people uttering bigoted comment " Igbo people are these and that" Yoruba people are that and this. If it were the opposite scenario , people would say the same thing with the roles reversed, because people seem to be unable to realize in general that besides mating, the outward appearance of a human is basically meaningless and means nothing in regards to peoples actions. I have lived in many different location and I've realized that I could care less about what you are and more about who you are. I've had friends from different ethnic groups, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Efik, Ijaw and many others. Some of them look different, some of them talk different, but the only thing that mattered in the end was that they were nice and intelligent people. The mind is the only thing that matters in the end, it has nothing to do with the color or the accent. Yes, some groups may have gained a reputation as a result of the actions of a few, but it really comes down to "A person with these values and mentality would do this" and "A person with these values and mentality wouldn't do this". There are selfish and morally wrong people in every single ethnicity and in every level of every race, that is the way of the world. If you base your opinion of a person on their appearance, that you are basically looking at the cover of a book and deciding its not worth reading.

As much as you are entitled to your opinion, I don't really see how your comment has anything to do with what I wrote.

Can't you read son? I said don't quote me until you have something meaningful to discuss... You were trying with your write up until the senile brain syndrome crept in and took total control... Read your article proper if they make sense to you... I repeat... Don't quote me if you are not making sense.

God bless you OP! Am Edo, dating this bundle of beauty Anambra lady. Her greatest fear is her parent won't agree to us cos am not her tribe. I personally think it's so wrong for such sentiment. Shouldn't our happiness be priority?!

No hard feelings.. You drift differs from mine, which is an expression of my own personal views as I see them.. I did not quote you because I was discussing you own opinion... I quoted you because I was adding to it...still on the matter.. Learn how to understand other people's point of view before jumping to a conclusion.

laudate:


My point has been made, but you have refused to see it because of the strange mindset that you have.

It is NOT a norm within Alaigbo, that Igbo people marry outside their tribe. It is the exception. Chikena! So deal with it.

A lot of other tribes also marry within their tribe. To each man, his own.

Half of the Igbo population don't live in the south east. So don't bring any alaigbo talk here that you don't know crap about.

Na by force? Just live our girls for us...

You very much know I don't condone the repudiating tribalism that oozes from you and your severe punishment in the past seems to be working. I'm sure you know still remember how it feels to be punished for tribalism.

Who is blaming the mother? All I said was that their mum disagreed with their choices. So how does that translate into "blaming the mother?"

Some of us know these girls, their friends and relatives and also know exactly what happened behind the scenes, oh.

Datz 1 Question av bin asking all dis while oooo

J12:

And you should also stop living in denial and stop pretending like you don't know what goes on whenever Igbo people decide to embark on inter-tribal marriages. You are the one out of touch with the norms of your people. So educate yourself.

Ishilove put it beautifully in her piece. Go and read it and stop playing the ostrich.

Why do other tribes complain that igbo dont marry outside . I keep asking why cry ...they should marry their tribe people or they find igbo superior



Go and marry from your tribe and leave us alone . It's our lives
