In Nigeria and Yoruba tribe to be specific during the generations of the great-elders of the land, man gets a wife through the intervention of his friend and friend of his wife. This means has been practiced for years by great elders and fore fathers in Yoruba tribe. It is also known that the idea of a woman to express her feelings towards a man is very rare or not even practiced then.

My question is if a woman has a strong feelings for a man and this man seems not to have noticed her body language or her feelings towards him, should such woman ignored tradition and express her feelings towards the man?

All advise are strongly welcome...

This has killed many real Love in most family, all in the name of tradition, some say we can''t change tradition, if two of them agree to be come one family why not aloud them to be.. Not all the old life style or tradition is working in our generation today while because things has change... And the wast part of it is that, the right person from them will come and destroy the Home, there have studied them self fro a long time, which there will be hope for peace in that family, and traditional matter will come and destroy the peace in the family.... i urge the traditional controller to aloud this if there is no other reasons for it...
Thanks.

Times change  and we follow Lots have changed since last 50 years or so .. . well . So if you have feelings for someone and its not the wrong person to have feelings for (not married or strongly committed) better let him or her know through your feelings you can only try . Chances are things might click if they are meant to and if they do , If you water the vegetable bed stuff will grow ..
