Case II
Gudmornng, RAO, am a 26 years old undergraduate of the university of ife. Am in a relationship with this vibrant, industrious and futurizstic young man. He is very deligent and passionate about his dreams. We ve been courting for three years now and the relationship has been what I have never experienced-blossoming. Before I met him, I’d dated several nice guys, but noneseems to be like this oone. He loves me to pieces, atleast, that I ve observed. He treats me like a queen.he seemsto be ann angel- believe me, am not exaggerating. For three years now, the relationship has grown frombeautiful to sparkling. He sees unlimited potentials in me and encourages me towards actualizing them. Even before his family, he treats me with so much respect, so that the family holds me in high esteem.
However, am scared because of the ethnic difference;he is from the south eastern part of Nigeria, delta igbo to be precise. Ive heard a lot about their tradition and culture , and believe me, its quite scary. Am a strict Christian who detest every act of fetish believes and practices and cant compromise my faith for such. Though the mother is a dedicated Christian but the father is a catholic and believes strongly in tradition. Now am cofused because he’s been urging me on for marriage. Is it not better to keep off than to fight this battle allmy life in the name of marriage. Your opinions are urgently welcomed.pls opinions are especially welcomed from does who know about the igbo culture.
