IGBOPRINCE: we don't value your women, they bleach a lot and they don't stay in husband house. It s o.15% hard to see an igbo man married to a tribe that don't stay in husband house or that disrespects his husband . They like enjoyment(owambe) and don't value marriage.
Pls this is our reasons, if not I could ve married two incase one leave me one day. But I want a wife and that s igbo , the one that will permanently be there for me, in rich and for poor , till death do us part.
Amen. Guy, but you sabi lie o! I have seen several well-educated, high class Igbo men married to Yoruba women. I guess part of the reasons those men were so successful in their careers, were because they married Yoruba women who taught them how to build cross-cultural relationships, respect the opinions of others and conduct themselves appropriately in their daily interaction with other ethnic groups. ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) I know a lot of Yoruba women married to men from different tribes. It does not cost an arm and a leg to marry them, and if you show them love, affection, respect and integrity they will stay with you for life!

Bia kete, come and see all the distinguished Igbo sons that got married to fine Yoruba women. Chief (Dr) Emeka Anayaoku, the former Commonwealth Secretary-General and the Ichie Adazie of Obosi, married a Yoruba woman Olubunmi, a royal princess from Abeokuta and they have been together for over 45 years; ![kiss](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/kiss.gif)
Prof Vincent Chukwuemeka Ike, the Eze Ikelionwu IX of the great Aro town Ndikelionwu in Anambra State is married to a Yoruba woman too. Her name is Adebimpe Olurinsola Abimbolu, and she is also an accomplished Professor of Library Science. They have been married for over 50 years. ![smiley](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/smiley.png)
Sir (Dr) Akanu Ibiam, former Governor of Eastern Region, Nigeria from December 1960 until January 1966 also had a Yoruba wife, named Lady Olayinka, from the great Sasegbon family of Lagos state. In April 1974, Dr. Ibiam lost his dear wife. She died at the age of 68. Out of respect for her, he refused to marry any other woman. She was given a state burial. Dr Akanu Ibiam the late Ezeogo and Isiala 1 of Unwana and Osuji of Uburu, was given the title of "... Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George by Her Majesty the Queen"; ![cool](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cool.png)
Dr Vincent Ifeanyi Maduka the pioneer Director-General of the Nigerian Television Authority, (NTA) also married a Yoruba woman. His wife is Engr. Joanna Maduka (nee Olutunbi) from Ilesha in Osun State. she was an undergraduate of University of Ife (Ibadan campus) when they met. They got married in 1967 and are still together till date.
There are several other successful Igbo leaders who were (and still are) married to the Yoruba women, and they are among the most successful Nigerians in history. And I assume you were living in Mars when Atiku Abubakar' was vice-president under Obasanjo and his wife, Titi Abubakar was launching her NGO. Here is a brief autobiography of the woman. Northerners have been marrying Yoruba women from time immemorial. Hajiya (Dr.) Titilayo Amina Atiku Abubakar, the first wife of Nigeria’s former vice president and Turakin Adamawa, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar comes across as a humble, motherly figure with strength of character. The 61 year old grandmother has for a long time been speaking with a loud voice against the travails of women and children through her pet project, Women Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication Foundation (WOTCLEF) as the platform.
The University of Calabar, in recognition of, and obviously impressed with her efforts at restoring back the human dignity into the society, conferred on her the honorary Doctor of Science (Social Work). Hajiya Abubakar is a very hardworking person. Before joining her husband in the Presidency, she was a lecturer at the popular Kaduna Polytechnic where she worked for ten years. She effectively combined her teaching job with household chores and responsibilities. “I love taking care of my family”, she said.
Being born into a Christian home in Lagos to the Albert family from Ilesa, in Osun State, she did her primary and secondary education at Catholic schools, after which she was swept off her feet by the love of Atiku Abubakar, and had to get married. “It was in my husband’s house that I attended Kaduna Polytechnic”, she said.
There was nobody in Lagos that did not know that I wanted to marry this handsome Fulani man because my mother was going from house to house appealing to people, telling them to come and talk to me that I should not marry him, that if I married this man, I was going to lose my identity because he is an Hausa and not from Kano that they used to hear about. He (Atiku) is not from Kaduna but Gongola (old Gongola). She said she understood that Gongola was not even on the map of Nigeria and that I was going to get lost. http://peoplesdailyng.com/weekend/index.php/lifestyle/womanhood/1739-hajiya-titi-abubakar-working-to-restore-human-dignity |

Tycoflu: I am understanding where the OP is coming from after seeing some of his replies. He sees a village as a rural area that is out of touch with civilization. But what he failed to understand is that most villages in the south east especially in Anambra, Imo and Abia are in the same league with some of the so called towns in South West in terms of infrastructure and modernisation. As for your impression of clothing made of leaves. Its funny I must say but how will you understand when most of you guys hardly leave south west to other places. Life and civilization does not stop and end in Lagos, Akure , Ibadan or oshogbo. Where have you been to? Why will I go to Igbo land? Am I hunting for wild animals? |

I personally see it as the lowest level of maturity to generalize a tribe due to the misdeeds of a few..be it Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa or any other tribe.

OnTheMoveWA: Why do Igbos usually say "I dey go village"? I've never heard an Igbo say " hometown". A friend said it's because 90% of Igbos come from rural "autonomous" communities. On another day I struggled to explain to an Igbo friend that I'm not from a village, neither are my parents nor my grandparents. They all came from towns/cities that are centuries old.
Now to the topic,
1. Those born in the "villa".
2. Those born in "no man's land"
3. Those born in the zoo.
There was almost going to be a 4th category - those born in the Lagoon but that was prevented. Another Yoruba idiot and bastard has spoken 1 Like |
