On MPN helpline today, we have another real problem from a real reader...
I'm an ardent reader of your blog, keep the good work alive.
Well I am in a fix and would love candid advice on the issue, am the only female child of my parents, hence the need to do things their way often conflict with what I want.
My parents are very tribalistic, am Yoruba and they hate the slight hint of me getting married to an Ibo man, here is the thing, I dislike Yoruba men and the ones I have dated are crappy, I have forced myself to loving one but his loudness and need to spend on friends and owembe annoys me a lot. I met this great guy, good paying job, treats Me well, he is just everything, how do I get to let him know my parents are tribalistic??
And that my parents might turn him Down, tho I made my mum aware of my detest towards Yoruba men but she always get worried that ibo's are diabolic and they are always widowed and their love for quick money mentality, I love my boyfriend but what should I do? Am ready to be rebellious but I want their blessing too!
