I am an igbo girl from Nigeria who has been in love with my first love who was partly a yoruba man and could speak ishan and igbo
language.I met him when i was in Lagos on holidays.i was in the federal colledge of education jos,Nigeria doing my teacher trainning and also working.
I didn't know that my family were not happy because he was not an igbo man in totality.
I still love my friend who is my first love and i want him to know that i still love him and that family cannot come between us this time now that we are in the united kingdom.Even it was Nigeria i will still make my mind clear.
I thank God that i am the second daughter of my parents and also a catholic..
The igbo custom of igbo parents forcing their daughters to marry igbo men because they are the first born or daughter is because they want the children to speak the same language and the igbo linage to continue.
Name -Miss Henrietta Adaku Udeozor.(LASUITE).London.

I adse you to stick to only one lady you are dating. Go and settle the marriage rite and marry your wife as soon as God can help you now before you run into trouble of mistake in life. All they were saying was in the past , not nowerdays. Iam an Eggon tribe from Nasarawa State Nigeria married my wife from mbaise Imo State Nigeria and she is Adanne ie the first daughter and her brother is a catholic Priest (Rev Fr.) yet they all accepted me and iam very close to my In-Laws. please do not listen to your friends rather listen to your lady tell your pastor or priest to pray with you then go ahead and marry , God will help you in Jesus name, amen.

![-]( "don2002") don2002 at 26-04-2011 03:09 AM (13 years ago)  (m) The Ibos in the house u all re opposing that it is a lie, but u guys can still agree wth me that Ibos re descriminating when it come to marriage, the stories is not total true, but my friend pray she is not from a descriminating family, cos it is true to some extends cos am a living victim. It happen to me life, her parent said NO cos I was not Igbo man. Ironically, My Uncle married first daughter, n she is a wonderful woman, my sis n my mother, and I am an Ishan man. So guy pray harder. | Posted: at 26-04-2011 03:09 AM (13 years ago) | Newbie | |

I have the feeling that this guy is not serious. Why do people want to make out issues that are unfounded. If you really love this in question, you need not bring this issue to the public knowledge. From your submission you have already started cheating on her whether you admit it or not. How on earth can you base your stand on friends submission that first daughters of Igbo origin do not marry outside their place. That is baltant lie, unfounded and just intended for you to dump the firl for your new found love (infatuation).
You have never made your intention known to the parets of the girl and you concluded. It only boils down to the fact that you never loved that girl. She even told you that she has the right to marry whomever she chooses but you are already contemplating cheating on her. This contemplation is only a mere figment and just justifies your action. If you are man enough make a proposal to her and see her parents and you will be shocked to the marrows the kind of reception the parents will give. It is very unfortunate that people like you are still living in the past. Better know that the Igbos are the most liberal in this country - Nigeria and mixes very irrespective of religion or tribe. I challenge you to tell me any other tribe in Nigeria that is as accommodating as the Igbos.
My people (Igbos) say that a wise man uses his tongue to count his teeth. A word is enough for the wise. Be a man and propose to this girl and get her married if you are serious and not just looking for frivolous excuses. Remain blessed.

Hello I am full bar Igbo guy,About your matter what you said are truth in some part of Igbo,But in our side the truth is that first you have to be a Catholic member its a must since most Rev Fathers has advised that that is the only thing that will brings you setback on your marriage,Again If your woman family really beleive and trust in GOD it can work But if they knows about other gods they will go there and destory your plans in sprite and here in this world you will see that nothing will work out,They can only want and destory the plan with other powers if they see that your woman has said under must , Anyone who is here saying that he or her can marry without the family approval,is a big fool,and does not have eve a respect at all,and also not a full bar Igbo. | Posted: at 26-04-2011 12:06 PM (13 years ago) | Newbie | |

![-]( "donuche") donuche at 26-04-2011 10:44 PM (13 years ago) (m) Why are you afraid? Why do you want to allow biased theory to cloud your mind? Have you propose to the lady? Have you paid a visit to her family?. Issues concerning marriage is based on different families views, your prospective inlaw may love you irrespective of your tribe. My elder sister ( she is my father 's first daughter) married an Edo man and they are living happily. There is no law in Igboland that forbids her first daughters not to marry a foreigner/or somebody from another tribe. The more likely problem may be the outcaste issue in which most Igbos still practise( not allowing freeborn/son of the soil to marry the untouchables). Do not be afraid rather be encouraged.
you have said it all my brother chimereze. igbo girls are the most independent minded girls you can ever think of in nigeria,supposing you are talking about high bride price that her parents might ask you to pay i would have been thinking in the same direction with you but for what you are talking about letting an igbo first daughter to marry from out side igbo land is baseless and lie from the pit of hell. even the high bride price of a thing is seriously declining as a result of the obstacle that it is causing some igbo girls from getting married on time, bride price is being reviewed and reduced almost in all the igbo land. | Posted: at 26-04-2011 10:44 PM (13 years ago) | Gistmaniac | |
