etochi11: Hahah! But,seriously, its affecting me ryt now

Very simple;
Ask your parent?, they are in the best position to answer your question.

Besides how many parents have you encountered that refused their kids marriage because their spouse was IMO(wondering why you used 'MOST')

I knw y i used "most" cos if U̶̲̥̅ dig well, U̶̲̥̅ will knotiz d same tin.

etochi11: I knw y i used "most" cos if U̶̲̥̅ dig well, U̶̲̥̅ will knotiz d same tin.

because they are the most educated igbo chics in nigeria.
an igbo man who struggled to raise his daughter and put her through good schools up to m.sc levels would demand huge bride price. it's not rocket science!

@etochi11
pls ask ur guy to tell u the truth why his parent dont want him to marry u,is not because of imo,
maybe he usin it as excuse to u or his not the right person to u,used ur common sense

the idea is recouping all what was spent on the bride. in recent times, they have actually stepped it up with blackberry phones, laptops, ipads, etc. it's all part of the ish!

@cooger.. I pray Ooº°˚ ˚°ºo!!! But,, if d ask me of , iPad or laptop,, i will jst forget d gal and ƓƟ M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ way..i Dun blame men DAT du beat up der wives. After reasoning all d moni spent, U̶̲̥̅ will want 2 kill ӇҾȓ wen she starts misbehaving

@Op,
Aside from the high bride price in that area, their women are so fixated with taking care of their parents/siblings/relatives at their husbands expense.
Some even go to the extent of making their husband build a house for their parents.
They're a bit promiscuous though in a coded way and very persuasive in nature. But in other aspects, they're good.

wow i don't know the same thing applies to guys who want to marry from there.
my people discourage you once you are dating them simply because they feel their guys are stingy, promisciuos(womanisers), selfcentered, and cannot take care of their wives in marriage. i am currently dating someone from imo, orlu precisely and i know he is different.
@0p.... people differ and if she's good then go ahead. i dont see the reason why ibos should discriminate other ibos....we are one....

@Cantell...nic 1! What U̶̲̥̅ said ȋ̝̊̅§ tru. D always persuade der husband to build house Fø̲̣̣я̅ der parents.@nne.. U̶̲̥̅ re Ω̶̣̣̥̇̊​oτ̣̣̥​ from IMO ryt? But U̶̲̥̅ re dating IMO guy. Du ur parents approve d relationship?

No am nt imo, am frm awka

nne3870: No am nt imo, am frm awka

babe it's the other way round in your case. Your husband people will not ask you to buy motorcycle or train one of his siblings, otherwise you will have been singing a different song.

All this trash u guys are saying about Imo is total B.S. I'm from Mbaise which to most has the highest brideprice. After goin to over 20 traditional wedding(few in mbaise), I noticed that its just a negative stereotype. All my sisters that married non of the their husband spend/paid up to 150k total.

Funny enough a friend of mine married at uga/anambra state last month, he asked the should bill him that he wanna pay in cash. They insisted he pays 600k after negotiating it from over a million. I got so angry and I told him let's go. The girl was crying begging the elders but the refused.

We spent over 3 hrs negotiating for more reduction before they said we should pay the 250k we have and balance them before the end of the year. After that day I told mysef never would I marry outside Mbaise or Obowo. Imo women are very respectful, educated and can manage better in hard times. Anambra/enugu are very materialistic so if u can't meet to her need she would leave u or start disrespectin u. That's why divorce rate is higher in Anambra/Enugu than other igbo state.

@pcmadu
bro i wonder the way people judge things,there just jealous of our gold I'M proud of IMO

O boy stop spewing crap! If you don't know what to say, just shut the Bleep up!
Why do people cook up lies just to pass their useless points across? No town in Anambra state requests for dowry worth that amount.
For your information, Uga is a neighbouring town to ours and some of my cousins hail from Uga. I know them too well and what you just said about them asking for 600k is ridiculous and senseless.
Go do your homework very well and then come back for a cultural lesson on bride price.
Until then. . .

Am tellin U̶̲̥̅ .. Dis guy ȋ̝̊̅§ bias..wooowww! 600k Fø̲̣̣я̅ a woman? Йą visa??

Listen I don't have any reason to lie, what I wrote is what happened and I am a witness to it. Regardless its only Anambra ppl that have issue marrying imo(it goes both ways too), generally we are more loved by others. Our women make way better wife than any other part of igbo land. An Anambra woman lack respect that's why d always find it difficult to remain in a man house.

List 5 popular Anambra politician that is still married to his first wife/husband.

Woooooooozaaaaaa!!!!600k for bride price kilode, ipads, blackberry haba, have they being suffering b4 ni or what. Anyways what I have being hearing about Imo people especially Mbaise is that they are too diabolic. Don't know if its true o but it can be one of the reasons sha. Places not to marry from
Imo
Aluu
Ijebu

I suspect this is what drives a lot of young men into crime, in order to appear capable enough to marry a wife. A kidnapper, drug dealer etc can easily afford it.
