EXPOSED: Why Igbo Men Don’t Like to Marry Nigerian Female Celebrities

Igbo tribe is no doubt one of the most popular tribes in Africa, and also the most ambitious set of people in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Often times, it had been said that the Igbo tribe have ancestral connection with the Jewish Israelis, and there are atom of truth in the claim.

You may be wondering why most Igbo men hardly or don’t marry Nigerian female celebrities, anyway, here are some of the reasons.

1.       Igbo men believe in acquiring their own wealth, then getting a humble woman to take care of their home, while enjoying their wealth. Igbo men are the most caring men in Nigeria- they can pamper and shower their wives with gifts and material things, so they don’t like it when the woman is the breadwinner, controlling, over exposed to the societal immoralities and media, hence they hardly consider female celebrities during marriage

2.       Igbo tribe have one of the strongest family culture in Nigeria- generally, Igbo men of the 21^st century don’t like polygamy, even though they might be keeping several lovers and concubines, unlike their fellow Yoruba and Hausa tribes that have a culture and that supports polygamy. This practice can also be attributed to the fact that Igbo tribe is the only tribe in Nigeria with a 99.9% homogenous religion- Christianity, which condemns polygamy. In order words, Igbo culture discourages Igbo men from marrying women who are so much exposed to the media because they often assume that such women are hardly loyal, humble, submissive, reserved and faithful in marriage.

3.       Igbo parents would rather prefer their sons marry a girl from a known family, whose parents are of good reputation, politically connected, etc than marry a girl who struggled to rise to fame because they believe that such girl or girls must have indulged in several affairs with men of authority to get to their famous or celebrity status, and Igbo men hate being associated with a woman whom majority of men claim to have assessed in the past.

4.       Most Nigerian female celebrities and rich single ladies discourage men from wishing to marry them. Imagine how most of them keep on posting their half nude pictures on the internet just to appear trendy and sexy to their own future detriment. Again, the rich igbo men who are more in number when compared with other Nigerian tribes, must have had an affair or fling with most of the celebrities, during the course of their climbing to fame, so you don’t expect a man to lick his own vomit. So to say, they know how most female celebrities climbed to fame, and they know what most did to get to fame, and hence, they wouldn’t want to keep such a woman as wife.

5.       Igbo men like their family affairs to be private- marrying a female celebrity entails so much media exposure and gossip, and this is one thing most well to do Igbo men hate, hence, their running away from marrying female celebrities.
