Igbo men are the most unromantic set of men in the world — Actress Peggy Ovire

Nollywood actress, Peggy Ovire has taken a swipe at Igbo men whom she described as the most unromantic set of men in the world.

"Igbo men are the most unromantic set of men in the world. I'm in my house, come and beat me", she shared.

This might probably be in reaction to a post by a lady on Twitter who stated that her mother-in-law killed her relationship with her Igbo fiance because she's from the Yoruba tribe.

Lamenting on Twitter, the lady identified as Adeola stated that she loves her fiance but his family is against them getting married.

They also warned her family to tell her to stay away from their son.

She wrote: "My name is Adeolar and I've been in a very serious relationship with an Igbo guy. He's nice, handsome and we've been dating for 2 years. He talked about me meeting his family and I was very excited little did I know that it would turn out to be my worse nightmare.

"I met his mum and she seemed really nice, but her attitude changed when she realized I'm a Yoruba girl. She immediately told me to my face that I can't marry her son. Her reasons weren't clearly stated but she said she doesn't like the Yoruba people. My heart melted, hot tears rolled down from my eyes; I'm Yoruba and I'm in love with an Igbo "mummy's boy".

"I spoke with him about it and he keeps assuring me that it would be fine. It's been almost 2 years now and the family are still not in support of our union. Every time I try to move on he comes begging that everything would be fine and that we will get married. I really love this guy, why I love him I don't know because clearly he hasn't done anything to deserve my heart but... He doesn't have a good-paying job yet, so I carter for most of his financial needs and even send some food to his village during festivity.

"Just recently his mother called my parents to tell them that I can't get married to her son and asked that I should be warned to stay off her son.

"He has travelled to his village for a week now and honestly I don't know where I stand... I really love him but what do I do?"
