henryskywalker2003:

@OP, am Igbo and from Anambra state. The general consensus among Igbo guys in general is never marry an Imo girl unless you have too much money to waste on bride price. Heck, even Imo dudes hardly marry babes from their states because of this issue. They usually ask for huge sums of money in the name of bride price as if they want to recoup all the money they have spent bringing up the lady from birth and they usually try to justify it by saying that their daughters are worth more than what you are asked to pay. My cousin is having her traditional wedding next month to an Imo dude and everything he was asked to bring wasn't even up to 500K. My advice to you is this, put your foot down and ask them to bring it down to less than a million and if they refuse to do (which is the most likely outcome) forget her and move on. True, you might think you don't have time and you probably can't let her go. Trust me, if she really wants to be with you, she will stand by your side when you present your case to her folks.

P.S. Another rule of thumb is that Imo girls tend to spend many years in their father's house because they tend to chase potential hubbys away with the bride price thing. I hope she knows that else let her better find and hook a big fish fast to avoid that fate.
You're a big liar. Everything u wrote is based on assumptions. I can categorically state that nowhere in Imo collects up to 1million as bride price. These days,suitors are only asked to bring the listed items which cost btw 400-500k at most. Bride price is at d discretn of d parents,and many forego it, unless they don't like d suitor and want to chase him away. I've seen it happen even in Anambra.

Anazp: Hello. I have been dating my girl for about five years now. I proposed to her and she agreed to marry me. However after fixing the date from the traditional Wedding, her parents are asking for five million naira as Bride Price. I told my girlfriend to appeal to them to at least reduce it to two million but her parents refuse. They say its an extended family decision like her Uncles and other relatives. I don't understand. I love my girl and she loves me. She's from Orlu, Imo State. I need your advice. Thanks

You are a liar man!! You made this up just to make FP!!
And u actually want to spread a bad image of imo-state indigenes here!!!
This is a lie and I urge my fellow guys to dis-regard this post and am so disapointed that the mods took dis to d FP! God will judge you alone for this lie you fabricated for the whole world to see!! Its well

THERE IS NO WHERE IN NIGERIAN CUSTOM AND TRADITION THAT BRIDE PRICE IS EVEN UP TO N1 MILLION.
EITHER THE POSTER IS A JOKER OR HIS IN-LAWS ARE IGBO SLAVE TRADERS DEMANDING THE PRICE FOR THEIR DAUGHTER WHO IS ABOUT TO BE SOLD IN THE CAMOUFLAGE OF MARRIAGE.
Re: I'm In Love With My Girlfriend, But The Bride Price Is Just Too Much by Orikinla(m): 2:26pm On Apr 16, 2013
Poster, since they want to sell their daughter to you, pay the N5 million as an investment and then commercialize her by using her for escort service at N10, 000 per day x 365 days x as long as you wish. You will make more than N5 million from her within 15 months. grin

jmoore: This story is false

@op, grow up and stop posting fiction here.smh
Shut up Biafran...Mine was 2.3 million estimate and the girl told me it was cheap. The best thing that happen to me in 2012 was how the girl got frustrated and stop calling me.

Any Calaba or Akwa Ibom girl in NL? pls. show me green light; i will be in Naija soon. I will prefer a teacher or a nurse.

The marriage has just been ended when it has not begun, o boy, dont venture into such relationship because it will eventually ruin you within the 1st 3 years of the the marriage, even if you have the money to pay, does not mean you should fall this kind of maga if you actually work for your money. if you love this girl, tell her she should quietly to talk to her family or even ask her what she feels about it, then you will know whether she loves u or not.

I think is time for our brothers and sisters from IGBO to do something about this non-sense. Pls. talk to ur parents, this is out of hand.
75% of un married ladies above 30 yrs. are IGBOS. What is wrong with this tribe and money?

To be honest, Igbo ladies are beautiful but men r scared to get involve with them cos of marriage business.

Amaaskia: This story sounds like a joke or an absolute lie, however if you can't afford it- you simply move on. I'm rather reluctant to say much.. Fishy!
If not fishy my sister. Maybe ur family is honest. This is true story; i dont know the poster but im 101% sure.

This is super story part one. Bros, please tell us part two. The woman you intend to marry and have fixed date is the one you still call your girlfriend. If what you are telling us is true, you will call her your fiancee instead of girlfriend.

Re: I'm In Love With My Girlfriend, But The Bride Price Is Just Too Much by infodollarman(m): 3:31pm On Apr 16, 2013
Akshow: Some in laws are senseless. Is bride price now a wind fall? What sort of rubbish is that? Them want make e feed the wife wit air after e marry her finish? That is why i love my yoruba folks. In most cases the parents return the bride price to the husband tellin him to jus take care of her cos their daughter is not for sale. Aside the traditional yams, boxes of cloth and drinks nothin more.
the fact is that the bride price itself in most cases are very small between #1.00 to may be #10,000.00 the problem is always the list of things like yam and the rest to buy.

you have to discuss with your father inlaw. the bride price is not the issue but the list of things to buy. your father inlaw has a big role to play in that regard. good luck
