How Much Is A Woman Worth? by 4Him(m): 4:07am On Feb 19, 2008 |
The Mek tribe of paupau New Guinea think its a small pig, an arrow and a cloth bag. What would you be willing to pay as bride price for your wife if she ends up being Nigerian? |

My dad paid N20 some decades ago . . . today what with the pervasive poverty in Nigeria women have become assets to poor fathers. You're worse off if the chic turns out to be beautiful. Even the rich ones are not left out, according to them its a way of "testing" the guys ability to take care of their daughter. An uncle of mine paid 1 whole cow, yards of expensive material and a lorry full of yams! Should women be a commodity for sale to the highest bidder? |

david, listen to "A WOMAN'S WORTH" by Alicia Keys. my opinion? Let's just say she's unaffordable. . . so all those little bride prices are worthless compare to what a woman is really worth. but let me just observe and see what NLer male think. . . |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Nobody: 6:10am On Feb 19, 2008 |
My dad paid N20 some decades ago . . . Just add five zeroes to that amount now |

stillwater: i might as well put up a worthwhile investment with that money. I can always milk the cow without buying it. On a more serious note, a wife is always worth her weight in gold. Perhaps women are worth it afterall. |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Uche2nna(m): 6:22am On Feb 19, 2008 |
It kind of depends on the type of Cow and the quality of the milk |

i cannot put a prize on my head or my daughters head. if i did . no one will afford it. then nothing under a house in spain comes in question |

Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Gamine(f): 6:41pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
The topic is misleading if it was about Bride Price, one matter if it was about A Womans Worth, another matter They are not equal |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by 4Him(m): 6:44pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
Gamine: maybe, maybe not. But isnt bride price a reflection of what the girl's family thinks she's worth? |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Gamine(f): 7:02pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
The girls family just wants to collect stuff from the guy its not equal to her worth Besides the girl also pays the guys family in my village, its two cowlegs we give the guys family is that really equal to the guys worth? |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by 4Him(m): 7:04pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
only 2 cow legs? A guy is worth at least 2 cows. lol i know that these days the idea of bride price is merely symbolic. I got intrigued when watching a tribal programme on the travel channel and a father was insisting on calling off a wedding because the prospective son in law was offering only one pig instead of 10 for his daughter. |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Nobody: 7:22pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
in my village, its two cowlegs we give the guys family lol 4Him: If you don't have money, why you wan marry Anyway I don't think I'll answer my daddy if he's imposing an outrageous amount. We will just have to come to an agreement. Even if he's insistant, I'll threaten to elope |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Gamine(f): 7:29pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
lol Of course now How wont the father be angry! How many people can one pig feed How long will one pig last?? He could have asked for more than 10, but he even felt it is a fair number and the husband-to-be wan play wayo! No, not acceptable. if my family says give us two houses in Parkview, with two range rovers and one yacht The guy has no choice! |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by 4Him(m): 7:32pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
stillwater: hmm good question but then . . . how much does a guy need to get married? I think about it sometimes and i wonder what my reaction would be if i were asked to bring so much to marry a woman. to get to the point of proposing to a woman i wont mind the cost of marrying her but she shld be prepared to drink garri for a few months while i get back to my feet. Gamine: see the reason igbo boys wait till they are 50 to get married. |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Gamine(f): 7:41pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
Better to wait than to live in waste! |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Chacal: 7:44pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
Gamine: At this rate, Only Taiye Taiwo would be interested in you. 2 houses in Parkview? What about 5 mansions in Malibu? |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Nobody: 7:48pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
to get to the point of proposing to a woman i wont mind the cost of marrying her but she shld be prepared to drink garri for a few months while i get back to my feet. This cracked me up . E ya poor boy . Add groundnuts to spicen it up a bit. You can afford it. You better marry a wife that works too, so that she can still be buying her make up while suffering and smiling with you . And also forget about having babies during that period of recession But Igbo people sef |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by 4Him(m): 8:03pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
stillwater: having kids the first 1-2yrs after marriage is out of the question. I need time to plan for those hungry mouths. Of course no excuse like being a stay at home mother will be tolerated. Wetin igbo boys do? Better to be safe than sorry. Women of nowadays. |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Gamine(f): 9:09pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
@Chacal Yeah whatever it takes! You said 30 pieces of silver, silver what? spoons? |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Chacal: 9:19pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
@ Gamine, Spoons? Nah I mean 30 pieces of Silver coins. The exact amount Judas copped when he betrayed Jesus Christ. Meanwhile. . . . . whats the bride price in ur village? 5 pregnant pigs or 4 billy-goats ? LV suitcases or BVLGARI Chronograph? |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Gamine(f): 9:30pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
Indeed I Know! The bride price? We dont need any frickin guys money |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Chacal: 9:54pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
@ Gamine, Are u sure? Thats TRADITION. The Groom has to pay the brideprice. . . . . |
Re: How Much Is A Woman Worth? by Gamine(f): 10:05pm On Feb 19, 2008 |
yeah pay what you wanna we will gladly donate to the poor! |
