4 Important Things that Must be Considered Before You Marry an Igbo Girl
For those of you that have actually fallen in love with an Igbo girl, this is good news. Maybe you intend taking it to the next level, good and fine. But then, there some things you need to know about an average Igbo girl.
This write up intends to point out some salient factors, or you can call it, the necessary ingredients for a happy and tasteful Igbo marriage.
The opinions here are not cast in stone, just like every other thing in life, there are always exceptions to the rule, especially when it comes to human beings. Human beings by nature are unpredictable.
1 She values the presence of her family
Enyi m nwoke listen and listen attentively, as you venture into that south-eastern part of the country, you need to understand that an average Igbo woman values her family, not just valuing the family but their presence. Yes, you will be seeing most of her family members from time to time in your house. Nwanne you did not just marry a wife, you married a family. She will send things home, she will go to any length to see that her immediate family are all comfortable, financially and otherwise. Brother, don’t stress it, it is part of the package. Buy one get 5 free!! Na who get wife dey get in-law, who no get wife no dey get in-law o!
2. They will kill you with love
Nwanne Madu, you have made it in life!! I say u don blow!! Marrying an Igbo woman is a ticket to success, that is if you marry the right one (that a bag of rice is full doesn’t mean you won’t have chaff inside o). As I have said earlier, there are always exceptions to the rule. But generally speaking, the love and care you will get from an Igbo lady is unprecedented. They know how to keep a man, trust me. You will be sure of nice dishes, both kitchen prepared and the other room! You will fatten up. Yes, size matter to an average Igbo woman. Little wonder when a thin looking young man marries an Igbo lady, in the space of months, the young man is looking like Yokozuna already, I don’t know if it’s fertilizer they feed their men with o. But I can assure you, that thing will grow you overnight.

3. You must be ready for constructive arguments
Nwokem, see an average Igbo girl is not tailored to accept everything you say hook line and sinker. She must input her opinion in the run of things, it is in their nature, the Igbo culture is an acephalous one where everybody both old and young, female or male, are all entitled to a say in the decision making process, so looking for an Igbo girl that won’t argue your ideas with you is like looking for a virgin in a maternity ward! Brother dem no dey!! if you doubt me just google the Aba Women Riot and read up how it started and what caused it. See, this people don’t take nonsense. So, you need to up your game. Marriage to an Igbo lady is more of a democracy than an autocracy. So, don’t come and be shouting man of the house man of the house, show us that you are truly the man of the house. To form craze no hard, na the trekking be the wahala!
4. Dede, go and save up o!
There is this saying in Igbo language that a man with an empty pocket doesn’t go about pricing land! Na only person wey wear cloth fit put hand for pocket o! Naked man no dey put hand for pocket. If you really want to marry an Igbo girl, then you need to be financial stable to an extent. You are buying quality and you know that what makes a good soup is the money used in preparing it, not just who is preparing it. (Although some people will still cook potty/poison with all the money, but that is story for another day). The Igbo society value their girl child, especially when that girl child is educated up till tertiary education level. Did I just say tertiary education level hmmm nwanne your bill don increase o! Well, it’s part of the process especially when you are going to somewhere around Imo state, those people have 80 leaves (higher education) note that they use as list. So, don’t go there expecting a sheet of paper list, when they bring out exercise book just collect it and go and start buying the one you can buy. At all at all na e kill Yaradua oo.
