What are the differences between the two ethnic groups?  The Yorubas have their own language while the Edo's have their own language.  Do you speak both languages?  What are the cultural and traditional differences?  Have you both studied them?  Are you aware that in some Edo culture that after the wedding night, there is a particular color cloth you are supposed to wear in the morning to visit the relatives?

Do your parents speak your in-laws language?  What is your future mother in-law feelings?  What is your future father in-law feelings towards this marriage?  Does your fiance have other siblings?  Is he coming from a polygamous home?  You honestly have a lot of work to do spiritually.

My gut instinct is to ask you not to marry this boy.  I do not have a good feeling about this wedding.  Be patient, you will meet a nice man soon.

I have a male cousin that is now married.  His wife is from Nigeria and my cousin is from Nigeria.  They still live in Nigeria.  The husband is the one that does all the cooking because he cooks better than his wife.  It works very well for them.  They opened a restaurant and the husband is the cook also in their business.

Life is changing.  It has nothing to do with foreign countries and foreign behaviour.  Whatever that works best for a couple is what they should implement for themselves regardless of what other people are saying or advising them. 

Men that cook better than women should be proud of themselves and there is nothing about men knowing how to cook that makes them less of a man.

My husband was from Nigeria and he knew how to cook better than myself and he taught me.

I have countless male relatives that cook for their wives or have taught their wives how to cook.  Both partners should endeavour to learn how to cook.

We take a vow that states in sickness and in health during marriage.  The man should know how to cook should his wife get sick and the wife should learn how to cook should the husband get sick also.

Share the cooking with one another, wash dishes together, clean house together, pray together, etc.  Doing things together are all part of spending time together.  The bedroom is not the only sharing place.  If you love me, help me around the house.  You make the mess also.

Dguy, I am not sure if your man is "over-educated" or not. I think there may be some truth whether Igbos are from ancient Israel.  There are certain stories in the bible that still remains today as if the story in the bible are the igbo people story.

Examples:
Akeludeme? - field of blood - this is exactly the same meaning in the igbo language and has not changed.
NRI - the inscription written on the cross when our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified is a place where Igbos crown their kings to date.
Tel Takume - meaning Tata teta na ula kuoume - Little child (girl) wake up from your sleep.
Eloi, eloi, lema sabaka tianni - meaning exactly what it means in the igbo language because the land broke in half including the temple curtain.
Maranata- igbo to remind Him to Come Lord Come.
There are too many examples in the bible.  It is actually very obvious to me that Apostle Paul is an Igbo man indicating that the chances of some Igbos coming from the Benjamin tribe is likely.  Being the youngest of the tribe, writing down their history had never been their strongest suit.  The igbos do not keep old things so finding their history would also be difficult.  They have a habit of burying things too so archaelogist will have a field day in discovering Igbo ancestries.

Genealogy always causes immense friction so it is always better to leave well alone.  I am comfortable in accepting and believing that Igbos are from ancient Israel. 

It is also important to remember Revelation 2:9; and Revelation 3:9. 

It is indicated in the Catholic Bible (Macabees) that the real jews were forbidding from acknowledging that they are jews.  May explain part of why Igbos being called Jews were ceased (this is a guess on my part)

It has been a while, but in the earlier times, the Igbos money had the star of David on their coins.  There was a time that the Nigerian flag bared the star of David also.  If people search for these coins they will find it.

For they have gathered together and said "let Israel not exist".  The Igbos may have lost their identity because there was a concerted effort to deny them their heritage, but I think if Igbos knew the rights and place in history, that all the powers used in resurrecting the death will return back to them.

Some people have complained about some Igbos being ritualistic, greedy, betrayal tendencies.  These are all tendencies done by those that live in the flesh and not in the spirit, and this is not only fleshly sins given to some igbos.  It covers all races and cultures also, but not everybody in that race or culture is like that.

Igbos had an original language before that is in UK museum.  I think it is translated in English to mean the "Living Word".  I heard that there are very few Igbos that speak that language to date.

I have also seen movies made in North America where they show that the ancient ones are igbos.  They are not explicit because after they show you the people that have the knowledge and the beginning of the world, they will end it with an Igbo man speaking the Igbo language saying "O ga di mma"  I think a lot of Europeans and North American whites are aware of this truth, but it is some how important to keep this knowledge a secret.

What I think that if Igbos are aware of their heritage, they will be able to perform all the spiritual gifts and powers that were given to their forefathers in the ancient times.

Remain blessed.
