Inter-tribal Marriage
Hi, friends,
Like I told you that most topics I will share on this blog
will be related to issues I discuss on Radio, as an on-air personality. You
will learn a lot from these topics. I am
also passionate about issues concerning women, hence the topic of the blog,
rachelforwomen. Today’s topic is on INTER-TRIBAL
MARRIAGE
ENJOY
READING.
People lately tend to embrace unity than division, and the
best and easiest way to achieve that is having a free inter-tribal marriage
where religious belief seems not to be a barrier.
Good morning and welcome to today’s edition of city echoes
which mirrors, ‘Inter-tribal marriage’ on Radio Nigeria, Treasure 98.5 Fm, Port
Harcourt. My name is Rachel Onah. Don’t touch the dial!
Talking about inter-tribal marriage; inter-tribal marriage is
a marriage between people from different tribes. Such marriages can take place
between people from different religions, race or ethnic group. Many people
would argue that, marriage is just an institution which validates reproduction
but to a good number of couples, finding the right partner and staying
committed to him or her is what matters most, and has helped them in taking
their careers to unimaginable heights. It has also helped them on their journey
of self discovery, hence people travel extra miles to get this mr or mrs Right
regardless of the religious and cultural backgrounds. Let us join Temitope
Akinyemi to the streets of Port Harcourt to find out some of the reasons people
engage in intertribal marriage:
Fear of the unknown is always an order of the day whenever a
new venture comes up, intertribal marriage inclusive. People say that inter-tribal
marriage has a lot of advantages, yet some are not scared of engaging in it,
why?
Statistics show that one of the commonest causes of failed marriages
is lack of understanding. This however, is a sure bet in inter-tribal marriage
owing to the differences in cultural and ethnic backgrounds. But then, how can
such conflicts be resolved?
Insert:
If marriage is actually all about getting the right person to
fill the gap created by a missing rib, what advice do you have for young people who have found
their missing ribs in a different tribe?
Intertribal marriage is not as scary as some people think,
after all. Join me to the office of a marriage counselor, Mrs Remi Togun as she
tells us all we need to know about intertribal marriage.
And that brings us to the end of today’s edition of city
echoes which came your way from Radio Nigeria, Treasure 98.5 fm, Port Harcourt.
Join us same time and same station next week for another exciting edition. On
behalf of my production crew made Gabriela Onyejiri, my studio manager,
