You can't, enlightenment can't be forced upon unresponsive people. You either dare them and go ahead with the marriage or you cower to their threats and break off the relationship. |

They shouldn't run away . It never solves anything . Try to get your parents to agree. Their blessings matter a lot . Besides , if they run away to get married, won't they ever come back ? If they do come back , they should know that their parents (especially the husbands parents ) will likely never forgive them. 1 Like |

The main tribalists in Nigeria are igbos and hausas. I suspect the yoruba refused because igbo is involved, no one likes them at home and abroad! Another tribe and they might consider. There will be another civil war in nigeria against igbos, marry one at your own risk! 7 Likes 1 Share |

tosyne2much: Superstition is at work here, it is widely believed that marriages without parental and family approval won't last coupled with the threat of ostracization. Very few men have the liver to stand by their decision. That is why I respect Peter of Psquare who weathered all storm to stand by his wife despite the constant harassment. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

You can't. Nothing you do will erase that. They've lived for decades with that mindset. They've seen reinforcements of this stereotype for more than 3 decades at least. You can't change them. Don't waste your time. See their respective spiritual leaders, pastors, priests, counsellors or imams, someone that has the greatest impact on their outlook on life. I can't run away because my parents don't want me to marry a particular person. How long are you going to be hiding? Isn't hiding itself silly? An adult hiding to marry the best of the opposite sex in the entire world? Will you have any peace? Will you solve any problem eloping? 3 Likes |

they should know the reason behind their objections and if found to be of greater help or importance to their future then, they should desist from the attempts and if the reasons are insufficient to their conviction, then they should be responsible for their future and build on a solid marriage anchored with positive mind. 2 Likes |

Is it about tribe or personality.... marrying a who're from your tribe or a vitreous woman from another. Marrying a woman beater from your tribe or a gentle man from another. Ur happiness comes first, you parents have lived their lives, they should let you live urs 3 Likes |

The truth is that those who intend to marry MUST seek for and obtain the CONSENT, SUPPORT AND BLESSINGS of both parents. The consequences of doing otherwise could be unimaginable. Many modern day opinionists may be disagree but the truth remains the truth. 5 Likes |

Apina: How do you come up with this demonic suggestion? I am full fledged Yoruba and my wife is from the Royal blood in Anambra, yet, we didn't have this problems. And forget all these Yoruba and Igbo pooh on NL; if you touch my wife, you'll live to regret it! Good enough, my in-laws do not reason as some IPOB do. When I met the King, I was more than impressed and knew that no matter our degree of tribalism, many people are still filled with their humanity. 15 Likes 4 Shares |

Please tell you friend to work with his fiance and warm up relations to his mother, sister or brother. The truth is that there is a lot of prejudice and mindset that needs to be dismantled smartly. It helps in this battle to have staunch allies in the unconquered territory. Tell your friend to become best friends with the guys sister, mum or brother. This strategy worked for me. Gradually, all the other family members will warm up to her once they get to know her 1-on-1 and drop their preconceived prejudices. My spouse is now the darling of the whole family. But it cost me a lot of years of patience and strategy. 1 Like |
