"If you're dating an Igbo man and his family is extremely nice, you are marrying the blacksheep" - Nigerian woman says

Wednesday, February 26, 2025 - A Facebook user has warned that any woman who is enjoying extreme niceness from the family of an Igbo man they are about to wed is marrying the black sheep of the family. 

She said that such action shows the family is tired of their efulefu (useless) son and they are happy to hand him over to the woman. 

The Facebook user named Ijeoma Chinonyerem, wrote: If you're dating an Igbo man and his family ESPECIALLY his mother is *extremely* nice, just know you're marrying the family efulefu and they want you to do and carry the burden. You are their ovu ngwongwo (burden bearer). 

"That extreme niceness and 24 hour calls from all their family members and calling you my love and blablabla is so you won't change your mind. 

"They know you're the price. Dem don taya for their efulefu son and want him to be someone else's headache. So they go dey pamper you make you no change your mind. 

"You will argue and twist this post, sha. But it is what it is."
