Comment on this

I was at a wedding recently and trust your ‘career amebo’
whose nose is always tuned and ready to sniff out anything
out of the ordinary; I was curious about the communication
between the couple, don’t get me wrong the couple were
obviously in love but there was something missing. The
groom was so macho and seemed so emotionally detached
that I started reminiscing on my previously attended
weddings (by the way, the groom was YORUBA). I am no
tribalist but it appears that our Ibo-brothers are packing on
the romantic accolades and awards. They seem to be more
sympathetic and understanding of their new-wives
whereas our wonderful Yoruba brothers (I am Yoruba by
the way) seem to be all macho and manly about the whole
thing. I remember reading a story of one fine Ibo brother
who proposed to his wife by taking her to dinner on a boat.
He had arranged with the Boat Company to have their song
playing when they arrived and proposed to her there and
then. Whereas on the flip side I remember how my friend
told me how crappy her proposal was and that if marrying
her husband depended on his proposal, he would most
definitely not be her husband today.
So people what’s your take on this? Who is more romantic?
Our Yoruba brothers or Ibo brothers? I would love to hear
from you.
