WHY DO IGBO IN YORUBA LAND HATE TO GIVE THEIR DAUGHTER TO YORUBAS

YOUR COMMENT WILL B HIGHLY APPRECIATED

HOUZ I THINK THIS IS A KIND OF DILEMMA AS I DONT KNOW IF THERE IS ANY REASON WHY IGBO PARENTS IN YORUBA LAND HATE THEIR DAUGHTER TO MARRY YORUBA BOIZ EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW THAT BOTH OF THEM R REALY IN LOVE.
I AM CONVINCED THAT I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS GAL AND THAT SHE LOVES ME TOO BUT HER PARENTS ESPECIALLY THE MOTHER WONT LET HER B PROBABLY BECAUSE SHE WANT HER TO MARRY ANOTHER IGBO BOY.
PLS HOUZ I WANT U TO ADVISE ME ON WHAT I SHOULD DO.

How then did the Yoruba parents see it?
If only the duo really luv each other, they wuld alwaz mak it if they persist. Its quite bad but it is connected 2 the difference in culture and tradition. May be religion or personal reason or experience. I've also seen successful marriage lik that but the man is the Ibo.

Sure,cultural differences is at play here.The Igbo,of course are not alone in this,as other ethnic groups also display such extreme cultural preference.The lady can love yoy from now to thy-kingdom-come,and nothing will happen except he parents consent to the union.
The are occasions where one of the parents will disown their daughter for marrying an 'outsider'.

This situation is what the NYSC was supposed to correct ab initio b4 it became the white elephant project it is currently.
My advice to you is to be a good boy.And don't give the chase,especiallysince she is your heart throb!Remember to invite me during your wedding,so i can eat free food! ;D

wats goin on ere is this a job sarch site o a cultural dance hall.??????????????????

@Donaldinho: all work & no play makes jack a full boy. U need 2 cool off some times. Its not always abt job search.
Afterall, u saw the subject b4 u puffed in. Serious guy

@ guru can u please let the house know the ' a lot of harm' the Yoruba has done to the Igbo?

Its not good to generalise on issues like this.I'm from EnuguState,i have 3sisters,one is married to a dashn young man from Ikare in Ondo state(a yoruba) another is married to a lagos guy from Ikotun.I'm engaged to be married to a sweet boi from outside Enugustate.
My friend Yuddie just told me that as an Igbo,she has a sister married to a yoruba and another to an Aboki from Kaduna state.
Its not about Ibos because even amongst yorubas,there are certain ppl who wont give out their dotas to other Ijebu men,and so it is right round Nigeria!

Situations lik this calls for marriage between different ethnic groups especially the Ibos, yoruba, hausa & others. So that Nigeria could truely be seen as one. May be i should be thinkin towards that direction

helloooo, this one topic which i really like to add to, am currently residing in Enugu as a yourba man, it is my wish to marry from another tribe not mine, but surprisingly am in love with an igbo girl which i wanted to marry but as a matter of fact she told me that we can not marry just because SHE is ADA(frist daughter) which i was was unable to believe, Why, so i asked her if we are both in overseas will she not marry me? no answer to that... so let stop this madness, anybody has the right to choose, since then we just enjoy ourselves nothing special and she does not like her igbo guys because of their proudness
Yourba family will give their daughters to one that likes her with little or zero bride fee either ADA or no ADA
Thanks

....I'll let You Know In Due Course! ;D ;D ;D

SOME YOURBA PEOPLE ARE NICE,BUT UNFORTUNATELY I'VE ONLY MET THOSE DAT ARENT TRUST WORTHY AND MY CHILDERN WOULD NEVER MARRY A YORUBA PERSON,THEY CAN MARRY FROM THE NORTH(HAUSA) BUT FOR YORUBA...LIE-LIE.

@ Arisdobel: u dey vex oh! I pray u'll have reason 4 a change of heart.

we all have our reasons, God created each and everyone of us in His own image and likeness so whether igbo, hausa, yoruba or whatever, we should put culture aside and let love reign.thanks

We can debate on this topic forever, we must understand that Nigeria is made up of different nations so don't expect all things to go so well when it comes to intertribal marriege. Im from the east, born in the north and grew up in lagos, with this coupled with my travelling experiences, I know that there is no love lust among the dirfferent ethnics that makes up Nigeria, so we should not expect it to be different when it comes to marriage issues. From my experience, I believe that an Igbo man would be willing to give his daughter's hands in marrieage to other tribes than the other tribes would be willing to do , infact the Yorubas discriminate the most, the Hausas considers their religion first.

honestly, i concur with u floxxy007. i have a friend, when their sister was about to be married, they are yoruba and the guy marrying the sister is igbo.do u know that despite the fact that the guy grew up in ibadan and speaks yoruba like no man business, it was hell for him. the dad was mad but eventually God prevailed and they are happily married now. i think yorubas will easily allow their children marry anoda tribe if the person in question understands their language and culture. meanwhile, i still say whether culture or not, let love prevail.lets live a life of love.
