If I have to wait till they "see" till I make my choice, then I'm not responsible enough to take a wife. Marriage would be strictly my choice... M well trained, so I won't stray far from what they consider ideal! 2 Likes |

Very simple. At the end I'll make my own decision cos finally, everyone has his or her own life to live! But I'll put their advice into SERIOUS consideration (cos they know way more than I do) |

First of all listing to your parents reason. Then think about it, if is not going to be easy, especially, when you guys are in love and understand each other. Parents can be wrong, but at most they are 7o% correct. But if their reason is because of class, I mean, your parents are rich and her parents is not, or her parents is rich and yours aren't and don't want you to associate with the rich girl. You maybe disagree with them. Take time to ask your parents their reasons and also tell them more about your partner. I think you will come to terms 2 Likes |

The bolded assertion below is untrue and very debatable, especially when you consider that a good number of Igbos cultivate and support baby factory business as though normal in their culture. What about the role of inheritance by Igbo women? Also, what of a woman’s treatment at the demise of the Igbo husband? This doesn’t mean there are no positive attributes that can be observed of Igbos and their tradition. It just simply means that every tribe / people have their own way of showing value and protection for their families, hence every tribe has its pros and cons, and we should all strive to imbibe the right qualities regardless of tribe. Finally, what’s your opinion about Davido and Chioma’s marriage? Can we also juxtapose that with your opinion about Peter Okoye and Lola’s marriage? I’m almost certain that your opinions about these 2 marriages would conflict. Therefore, let’s be guided when we make blanket statements about a whole tribe, because the same measure that you use would be returned to you; even worse! Lovelyn451: 3 Likes |

I listen to my parents but I make the final decisions for myself .. It’s their opinion and sometimes opinions are tainted by a biased position so I would look at all angles... It’s like marrying a cheater since you accept the cheating he will continue and even be smarter on handling it but a no nonsense approach the man go duck when he see you...no need to slap anybody or pour water or them I’m not saying make your spouse scared of you as a woman but rant Well Well ...they don’t like pressure at all and that is putting the fear of God in his heart |

CAPITAL YES... I have done everything in my power to be a good child to my parent, been there for them being the first child. Our parents are fond of discriminating when it comes to choosing a partner they can say you can`t marry her because she is of particular type, particular religion or for some reasons that are meaningless to me. I want to take responsibility of whatever the outcome of my marriage be it positive or negative. I don`t want to point finger or cursing anyone in future for a failed or sorrowful marriage. I used to tell my parent and even my family that whoever i bring home to marry they should not question me but accept her. They know what i can do which is what i will do... Aside marriage or choosing partner, i don`t disrespect my parent deprive them of what they could get from me. MadeINchenzen2: 1 Like |

It's highly pathetic seeing some comments negating the fact that parent can give advice to their children on marriage issue, is it because of civilization? Without giving a thought that their opinion might be valid or not. But just a reminder this parent are the one that brought you up ever since your childhood and will forever want best for you( in most cases) but if you notice any king of stereotypes in them then you have to let them understand but not just by saying they don't have a say. But above all, remember, if you insist that your parent cannot have a say to whom you're to marry then it becomes a seed you too cannot say anything to your children when they want to marry about their respective spouses. Many of us are hypocrite, those set of people will begin to set limits for their children in the future saying you cannot marry that girl it below my standard and all the stuff like you can't marry now not until you finish your PhD. |

9gerian: The main thing is that not everyone is open to inter tribal marriages that's why many parents are against it. Sometimes it carries so much risk and wahala. Many will claim in this modern age that culture doesn't matter, but of course culture does matter. Especially Moreover most of the thing we call love is very fleeting, it doesn't last. So one has to be careful. As for Davido/peter relationships, igbo men rarely marry that far. And families will kick against it. Unlike women may be allowed. But for guys it's very rare. Except an igbo man Who grew up outside his culture. But those ones that grew within there culture it's rare because the two cultures are way apart. |

Dreyton36: Sometimes one can't go against the parents wishes. It happened to my sister. A lawyer guy was coming for her, she was crazy in love but my dad no one use ear hear am. My sister na medical doctor. The guy tried but no way. My sister finally cut off from the guy. I thought she will go crazy. Finally she married a guy my dad fully accepted. And she is having a good marriage with this present guy. In fact the guy has been supporting and encouraging her to reach her highest dream and ambition which not all men will do. Parents do have a great say because what we modern people call love is very fickle, doesn't last. It takes more than love to make marriage work. So parents understand these things. 4 Likes |
