MARRYING FROM THE YORUBA TRIBE OF NIGERIA

Marrying from the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria

  Marriage is a union of two or more people that creates a family tie and carries legal and social rights and responsibilities. In Nigeria, we have over 300 tribes and ethnic groups. Yoruba being one of them. Marrying from the yoruba tribe is not so difficult, since their culture and language is easy to understand, and mostly, the yoruba children are always well brought up. But this article is mainly based on marrying a woman from the yoruba tribe.

   In Nigeria, there are different views about women from various tribes. However, it should be noted that although some special behaviours have been attached to women from various tribes, it DOES NOT WORK TOTALLY FOR all the women in the tribe.

The assumptions are just based on the common things you will see most women from the area do. Marrying a woman from the yorubaland has so many advantages since a lot of Yoruba ladies grew up with the teachings of self-reliance. This is because at a tender age, they get taught about how to do major household chores and how to exceptionally take care of the house, the man of the house and the children. Every man wants attention….

Most Yoruba Ladies Are Family-Oriented, the same way every young child is taught how to be respectful no matter the situation is the same way a Yoruba ladies are taught how to always put their immediate families first no matter what. Yoruba Ladies Are Very Respectful.

   The moment a child is born in Yorubaland, the onus of training is on everybody around the baby, not just the parents. This has made it very easy to inculcate habits like being respectful in the young child. Yoruba ladies are brought up to totally give obeisance to whoever it is due.

The Yoruba culture opines that when a youngster meets an elder, she must kneel down to greet as a sign of respect. All these and more are why Yoruba ladies top the list of respectful tribes in Nigeria.

A typical Yoruba lady would prefer to go to school, get certified before thinking of marriage, This helps them strategise their lives well enough; get prepared for the future before jumping into it.

In conclusion, when it's time for the Wedding, one typical trait among the Yorubas is that this is a collective effort among family members with each member contributing something to make the Wedding day a success while reducing the burden on the young couple.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN GOING TO IKOYI REGISTRY FOR YOUR COURT WEDDING

Hello Lovely people. I’m finally getting round to sharing an article I have so long wished for. First of all, Court wedding establishes that you are legally bound as so it deserves as much attention as the white and traditional weddings- if not more.  There are two Federal Marriage Registries in Nigeria at the moment. The Federal Marriage Registry Abuja and the Federal Marriage Registry Lagos both under the Ministry of Interior. (I read a recent WhatsApp broadcast about how  Local Government registry marriages were not real. So shocking! How have we let this go on for so long if these marriages were fake? Nigeria: Another day, another discovery). Requirement, process and cost implications of getting married at ikoyi registry are not so difficult to comprehend. You will be required to know that; Regular registration at least 2 weeks interval 35000naira If you want your wedding to be done in 2 days after registration 55000naira the requirements are not special. They don'
