Ok, i hardly comment on threads here but this really has my attention. I'm a full blown NWA ANAMBRA(both parents), over time i've heard lots of comments like this even among anambra parents. OP i'm going to answer your question from practical experiences,although i'm not ready for marriage i remember my mum telling my eldest bro long time ago that "who he decides to spend his life with is his choice, that marriage is like plucking pear from the tree, allow someone to pluck by his/herself so that if its ripe he enjoys if its not ripe he either makes it ripe or suffers whatever consequences it brings" So, you shouldn't generalize on the matter. On another note, i know some anambrarians do not fancy distant inlaws BECAUSE they are protective(and you don't blam any parent for being protective), parents believe if their children marry from within then it makes its easy to deal with any marital issue that becomes public traditionally e.g disagreements or a spouse dies. Personally, I DO NOT SEE MYSELF MARRYING AN ANAMBRA CHIC Ooo. And before i forget, believe it or not 'most' Anambra guys know how to take care of wifeys ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

megacity:you are very correct,in london here am going for a seminar in university of london is about igbo womanhood. Apparently in the olden days igbo women was running most of the business activities in igboland they basically controls the economy. Igbo women can marry another woman is still practice till today no other tribe does that in nigeria but in the bible you can find such practices and culture, before the white man came and this is how they change the system and gave more financial power to igbo men, though during the Victorian time english people believes that women should stay at home and look after kids ![]() 1 Like

My cousin dated this anambra Guy for 6 yrs,she dated d guy wen he had nothing,yet she was still with him only for this guy to get money he told my cousin dat "my mother said I shud marry from my tribe".meanwhile he claimed he loved her.y didn't he define d relationship from d onset instead of wasting her time. Come to think of it y will a Man not be able to make his own choice nd decisions for a life partner,I believe he knows nd understands her better than his mother does to know if she'll make a good life partner.it's high time grown up men not boys or babies speak for themselves.Any man who does this kind of thing will face God's punishment for life. I am an IBO an IBO man. from anambra in dunukofia LGA. I am married to a wonderful woman from ilesa in osun state. we have 2 beautiful daughters. I can tell you my wife's parents and even her brother who happens to be my friend objected to this marriage all because I am IBO. later my family joined in. but you know what my girlfriend stood her ground and I also was firm on my choice of wife. it wasn't easy but today its something we laff about. we dated 7 years before I popped the question. if anybody says IBO don't marry another tribe, I always ask what kind of relationship is the guy and gal having. if an ibo guy refuse a gal marriage it has nothing to do with his gal rather him or the gal has some unresolvable issue. IBOs are free spirit you can't make them do what they never want to do. my Granny always say "Nke owuna inuta ginaya ebiri" pls note, other tribes are guilty of this. |

chillingbabe:Go easy on the generalization. I have seen countless Anambra men (and women) marry outside the state. My elder brother is married to an Akwa-Ibom woman My uncle's wife is from Imo state My cousin is married to an Idoma woman from Benue Even my aunty is married to a Ghanaian. And they didn't meet any form of resistance from the family. You really need to look around. The number of inter-tribal marriages especially between Igbos/Yorubas and Igbos/SS (Akwa-Cross region, Edo, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa) is now higher than ever. Even GEJ's son-in-law is from Anambra.

DonDiego: It's ok. However the scenario I dont fancy rarely happens. You will agree with me that most Yoruba/Igbo intertribal marriages are between a Yoruba man and an Igbo woman. Any Yoruba lady who marries an Igbo must have done so out of frustration/desperation after having waited in vain for a Yoruba suitor. Egba(Abeokuta) ladies find no qualms in marrying non Yorubas especially ibos. I dont know why. Ondo/Ekiti men marry ibo ladies a lot. 1 Like |

Actually, from my own observation, frustration has nothing at all to do with the cases of Yoruba ladies married to Igbo men that I know of. In fact I know of a particular case in which a friend of mine was practically trying to freed himself from a Yoruba girl he was dating when the parents of the girl started making trouble for him because they said he was trying to deceive the girl into dumping a young Yoruba naval officer that the parents of the girl had bethroted her to. But the girl said she didnt love the officer; that it was my friend she loved. Things came to head. My friend said he was no longer going ahead with the relationship. The girl said she would remain single if she couldnt marry my friend. In the end reason prevailed after the intervention of the girl's grandmother whose words were highly respected. Today my friend and his wife have celebrated their 16th anniversary. I could have married a Yoruba girl myself except that at the time the girl was ready I wasnt. She had a lot of suitors who were Yoruba but she said it was me she loved. I told her I wasnt ready at all at the time and she said she could wait. I was not comfortable with making her wait especially since I was just finishing my NYSC and wasnt certain when I would get a decent job before talking of settling down. In all, people marry others for one reason or the other but I want to believe that frustration isnt exactly one of them. VirginFinder: 1 Like |

For the most part, I think most Ibos that replied this question are brainless (Now, they won't read all my notes, they will come after me as usual -mob mentality). The person that asked this question was referring to an Anambra man who happens to be a clan in Igboland, the person only needed to know why Anambra guys or ladies will "rarely" marry outside their clan. He/ She was not asking why Igbo is not marrying Yoruba or vice-versa. As usual, many of the Ibos will never read what was posted, all they will be looking for is a way to pull the Yoruba (Their perceived arch enemy) down even when it was apparent that some of the contributors clearly stated their tribes, Ibo will still rope them with the Yorubas and call them names, anyone could ask this question for Christs' sake. I have heard friends asking why Ekiti or Ondo will not marry an Ijebu, does that implies they are talking about the Yoruba not marrying outside their tribe? Please, stop promoting all these unnecessary hatred. We are all one in the eyes of God. Nobody is bashing the Ibos here, this should be a platform to correct the misinformation people might have about a tribe or people. Thank you.[color=#006600][/color] 4 Likes |
