I guess this goes to show that there are many different 'worlds' within the same country. I didn't grow up in Igboland, but in the small University town where I spent a large chunk of my life, a large proportion of the population was Igbo, including a large proportion of the lecturers. So that was my Igbo 'world.' I think it's great that despite your youth, you have a good understanding of what you can't live with. That's such an important life skill and it'll keep you out of a lot of trouble. LOL @ 'your daddy was right.' My Daddy would agree (:rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02523070262874253128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054039536263786770.post-41747004408426884482013-01-11T19:04:07.280+03:002013-01-11T19:04:07.280+03:00True ooo...but come to think of it!

I am 100% Igbo and one thing i have found out is, Igbo's of years ago hardly ever went to school. Many made their wealth on trade. Marrying beneath yourself or family or standards is one of the worse mistakes people make. Its not like i am proud or something, i come from a family of averagely educated people and i would like to marry into a highly educated family. Think of it as my mindset, i don't care. I'm quite young, (just celebrated my birthday today, matter of fact and i'm growing older too)i also know that one cant be too young to make choices that feel right to them. I have ended my friendship with a number of very successful guys because i know that deep down, i cant live with them. My family isn't too rich but we were very content, i cant see why i would stay with a man who spends years accumulating wealth and not living it because he remembers how he 'soaked garri' as a child. <br />Life could be a sort of teaching aid, somethings work and somethings dont work. i am not justifying your words and i am not disregarding them either. I respect you alot, atleast from what ive read, you are a strong woman who knows her ground...and i really think you married beneath you, your daddy was right.Adaeze Writeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526547498295257422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054039536263786770.post-82001971310112304152012-09-16T19:42:06.196+03:002012-09-16T19:42:06.196+03:00I'm telling you.
