The three legs to dating an Igbo man in touch with his Igboness.

Understand that;

1. He was raised in a culture that places the burden of responsibility on menfolk. Taking responsibility is in his DNA.

He is prepared to tell you “Baby’m, relass and be taken kiarof by me.”
2./ 2. The corollary of this is that he is the captain of his ship. So he will do his best for you within his ability. Bhet. . . The ship has one captain. If you cannor handle this one, jus waka pass. The Igboman is not really for you.

3. Igbo men are accustomed to
3./ strong female figures. Mothers and sisters have ruled the roost most of their lives. So that no.2 above, much of it is optics and for purposes of “Inya isi” amongst their peers. In real terms, the woman can be and often is in charge. If she desires to be.

BUT.
4./ This is not done frontally.

Successful Igbo women for generations have known this.
