Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Day by day, as China is opening up and coming up in economy, affinity grows between the Chinese and the Igbos of Nigeria. The Igbos being doggedly industrious in their yearnings for more economic prosperity have seen the need to cooperate with the Chinese more frequently, same way has the Chinese people seen need to cooperate more with the Igbos who are the main drivers of Nigerian economy. This, resultantly, raises the need for both sides to have a good hold of each other’s culture. This paper, therefore, has focused on Igbo marriage culture and Chinese marriage culture. The paper, based on the literature survey methods and analysis of primary data, attempts to show the similarities and differences in marriage culture between the Chinese and the Igbos using their “marriage custom” and “marriage sense”. The research went further to analyze the reasons behind the foregoing through contrasting their differences. The research reveals that traditional culture plays a leading role in each of the cultures in the areas of marriage values, history, religion, politics and geography.
