Common sense is not common but i dont know how many of us are ready to die in the name of cultural, traditional, religious and conventional dogma, so if my fathers village is one of those captured enclave of boko haram or bandit, will common sense apply that we should all go and die like fowl in Dapchi or Sambisa in the name of culture?? Please lets use our head to think and be unconventional if we have to and not relegate our cerebral to our genitals. Are you going to be the one to take care of the logistics because you already said bulk of your relatives are in the city. Its high time the igbo tradition do away with a lot of cultural rights that has held the igbo nation hostage and tantamount to progressive ideals. |

Ade3000yrs: Story Igbo tradition supersede anything out there Its what makes us unique as a people In addition Igbo marriage culture That his sister is not just owned by her parents but the umunna, umuada, her mother's people etc If the lady goes against her family wish One day she will need them When problem will come out tomorrow in her marriage She will be left alone That's why today's marriages are not stable and lasting like our parents marriages Because they fall to do the right thing |

Lol at Nairalanders still living in the Stone Age. Most traditional weddings I attend nowadays happen in the family’s present location. Urbanization has made most under sixty year olds city dwellers. Why should they visit an unfamiliar territory only for a day of activity? Maybe you guys live in a rented apartment so can’t consider your location as home. A house only needs a family in it for consideration as the perfect location for the wedding. |

[quote author=kemmy196 post=97063984][/quote] Things are changing now. You don't expect intending couple to risk their lives to the village all in the name of wedding. |

bencarson007: It's necessary where it is obtainable and do able The Igbos does not play with it Just the way the Yorubas don't play with some of their traditions Odun Oshogbo is a tradition that can't be done in a city but in the groove that's how some certain core traditions are |

pocohantas:Who would have thought you are a very cultural person.. true. The yoruba's do that. I think home in this context is where you managed to own a property/house. Its rather unthinkable for someone to leave dear lagos for an ekiti, osogbo or abeokuta for any function.. at least for me. However, it is still very common here to observe burials in our respecive hometowns. 1 Like |

Omoluabi16: Funny! I could be, that’s why I am amused when some hoodlums read one comment and assume they know how I’ll react to every other situation. I know Yorubas do it, I have lived, schooled, worked and loved them long enough to know this. You are right, burial is one time I hear some say they are going or went “home”. |

LawLab247: Thank you. The world will never respect a people without their own philosophies and traditions and culture, never. See how the world is paying Asia to use some of their cultures. There is nothing edifying or classy about having Igba Nkwu in the city, or deciding that Palm wine is tacky and using Chivita instead . The class is in the naturalness. Well some people who go this route may not be proud of their roots. It is almost unheard of where I come from (I have never seen/heard of it). 1 Like |
