Horlufemi: love is just temptation and illusion. if you focus hard you can even fall in love with a lifeless chair. just like many ppl fall in love with dogs , jesus, allah etc. tribe is important. marriage ia the union of two families . tribe is culture language religion everything. 1 Like |

tossie101:You sound illogical and foolish at thesame time, is it only one family that there is in Yoruba land, some families as we both have it on both sides are lacking intelligence and reasoning when it comes to matters such as this. A family might reject the proposed partner of their wards the same way some family would gladly accept the proposed partner of their children not minding which part of the world they come from. |

I am writing from a first party point if view, meaning it happened to me. Thus advice must and will work under some conditions...... Both parties, been d guy and girl must agree never to separate from each other.... They must act as one body and soul... Gen 2:18 and Proverb 18:22 They should stop begging their families and act as if non of them exist. They should plan their lives and work to build their empire well, bcoz their own people will be watching for their down fall. They should pray and work towards their marriage by doing the Court Marriage only, with that, no body on this planet earth can come in between them................ Remember anyone who dares come in between u guys, stand a chance of imprisonment................. Believe me, once this last step is done, they will start calling and coming one after the other.......... IT HAPPENED TO ME, AND I SUFFERED FOR 3YEARS BEFORE I THOUGHT OF THESE STEPS AND IT WORKED FOR MYSELF AND MY FRIENDS...... WELCOME 5 Likes |

tossie101: Smh..Are you aware you can marry from the same tribe and still not feel welcome by the man's family,infact this days it's very common. Having that mentality you just point out and feel life is a bed of rose with the same tribe, instead of a family that respect you and fun to be with..Your in for a very big problem. 6 Likes 1 Share |

tossie101:Igbos are more tribalistic than yorubas because it is easier for an igbo man to marry a Yoruba lady than it is for a Yoruba man to marry an igbo lady.....the reason why I quoted you was because you raised yourself as if you are more intelligent and better than those beautiful igbo ladies that have found a home with a Yoruba man.....change your mentality please. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Slymonster: Yes u are right.. but there are higher chances to face that ordeal in intertribal marrial marriage. I have seen many,i have also indirecty experinced it (my brother). That was the hieght of it becoz we nearly lost him due to heartbreak..ts a long story shaa. But left for me, everybody should stick to his/het own trible. Its even somewhere in the bible.

I have a question though; does it really matter if you are from the east or north, south or west? Are we not all human? We all have thesame features except for the tongue.....even with that minute difference, does success in marriage have a thing to do with the tribe of each individual partner or is it the selfishness of our kindreds and their illogical reasoning that is the stumbling block in intertribal marriages..... |

Nazeren: Who doesn't know that you people are the dirtiest and most promiscuous girls in the country? When it has almost become a tradition in Yoruba land for your girls to give birth to bastards in their father's house. You rarely find any family in Yoruba land that doesn't have a girl who was impregnated outside wedlock. The married ones are not any better, sleeping around with other lovers like dogs on heat. Useless people. Who will even think of marrying disgusting things like you? You're free to Go and meet your fellow irresponsible Yoruba men 5 Likes 1 Share |
