RE: Open Happiness (Week 5): Touching lives through Selfless Giving!
Amazing topic. My parents doesnt really support inter tribe marriage because of the language barrier. So they expect that as an igbo girl, i should marry an igbo man because of our children.
Fine language barrier is difficult to deal with but not when you're in love with who truly loves you
I agree. I believe language barrier can be overcome if that is the only reason. But what if the parents disagreed
@chizikky that's true, if you meet someone that you truly love it hard to leave her.
@kinkyamiee. Thank you for your response. So lets say you have fallen in love with this guy and over time, you are really convinced that he is the right person. Let say you can overcome the language barrier too. What will you do in a such a situation?
Seriously, i always think about my family when i meet a man, so if you cant relate or accepted by my parents, its a no no!! I cant continue, do you think its right?
@kinkyamiee. Waooh. Lets push it to the wall. Lets say all the men that are coming to you are really nice people, but they coincidentally come from a different tribe and you love them. Do you think your parents can be made to shift ground?
Mehnnn...lol, my dad especially will not shift ground ooo.
@kinkyamiee. Your dad is really a tough man. But I use to think that dads are easier to understand and accept love in that respect than mums, especially when their expectations are not being reached
Lol...yea, but now mums are kinda easier now oo..
Hehehehe..
Your parents have actually achieved their own dreams o, now it is time for u to achieve yours, they don't want to accept it for you.
Think am na
Yes it may be right it your parents have good reasons @kinkyamiee.
They're wiser than us and guide us. If they discern a wrong attitude in a man, I reason with them but if their reason is not valid or is discriminating... I go on with my love partner.
There's nothing wrong with intertribal, hence you love the man and he loves you and he is godly.
After all, parents are not suppose to force their decision on their adult children.
They only guide them
I agree with you dear, but they know best.
Igbo people just like doing this... And if there wife doesn't give birth to a male child they will be forced to drive the woman away. Too bad
Not all igbos though, just from some parts. But they need a son that will take that family name on.
They need a son fyn but they always like putting all the blame on the woman!!!
Lols...
Must it be igbo niii
Too bad my brother. @kingcent
What a bad tradition Igbo have. But not all Igbo men have that mentality.
That's why I said it's not about the tribe, it's about the man you're marrying.
If he is godly, reasons fine and love me I'll go in.
After all my tribe is not the best tribe.
@chizikky187. I really liked hoe you put it when you said your tribe is not the best. Assuming everyone thinks like that, people will be more united.
I agree with you both 70% of Igbo men do that.
