An outsider cannot become Igbo or any other tribe ethnically(no disrespect). The primary way of tracing a person’s origin is through their ancestry and this cannot be erased or modified to suit you. Nwanyi Ocha, who by the way I love how she promotes our culture and many other people who were not born Igbo are Igbo by marriage but can never become Igbo ethnically irrespective of how much they embrace Igbo culture. You cannot erase the identity/lineage of a woman simply because she got married to someone from your tribe. The only constant in the life of the women we marry from other tribes, states and countries is their ethnicity and this doesn’t automatically change by virtue of being married to you. The only people who are Igbo in the real sense are those born Igbo, by extension–the children of the wives we marry from other tribes and countries are Igbo since we can trace their ancestry to Igbo land but same cannot be said for their mothers. Being/identifying as Igbo by marriage, naturalization and association is a thing but that doesn’t make you a full fledged Igbo person. Deeje ni❤️.

Can an Hausa or Yoruba man be coronated king in the South-East or in any Igbo land? Let's not be hypocrites please. SA are overdoing things, but let's avoid trouble by every means.

‘Igbo king’ coronation didn’t violate S’African law. ~ President-General of the Nigerian Union South Africa, Mr Smart Nwobi, says

from your wife is not a member of your family to a white woman is fully igbo because she is married to an igbo man. best in flip flopping

Another Igbo culture to annoy you "emergency Igbo culture custodians." Come closer. Every heard of the concept of "Ama echina"? “Ama echina” is the principle that allows a woman who can't bear children to marry a woman in her husband’s name to bear children for her husband. The new woman is considered HER WIFE first, and then HIS WIFE too. Now if a man marries a woman and dies before she conceives and she doesn;t want to leave, she can stay and BEAR children IN HER HUSBAND'S NAME, and any child she bears is considered her late husband's child/children. If she cannot bear children, sh can marry another wife in the name of her dead husband and any children that women bears is considered her husband's children. Wanna cry about this fact too? Go ahead!
