Bros park well,the N25 bride price doesn't tell the full story.When you consider items written down in the list such as Jorge,25 cartons of beer or more,cartons of malt,rolls of ciggarete,utaba,cartons of Soap,gift items to umuada,youths,iyom Aro,memebers of the brides clan etc etc... There goes your N25 theory lol

Czar-Chris:

Dude seriously, grow up. If you are in doubt, go and ask what it cost to marry a woman from Kalabari and stop displaying your high level of speleotogic ignoramus here. Thank you.

Lilimax:
You will not die but live

myOGAonTOP: somewhere in Imo State (no kidding):
400 iron buckets
600 yam tubers
2.3 million
21 pieces of wax wrapper
14 pieces of hollandis
20 cartons of green soap, cream and face powder
4 cartons of hot drinks
?? Cartons of beer, malt and mineral (cant remember the exact number. It was in the second list)
1 Calabash of kolanut
3 jars of alligator pepper
28 yards of lace
shoes, bags , jewelleries, scarves for mama
lion head shirt, cap, staff and shoes for papa
etc. This was for the first list.

We (and the girl's siblings) protested but the groom told us to chill. He was like he was going to use his savings and settle up for everything . He paid for EVERYTHING on those two lists and took his bride home. He warned the in-laws never to call him or step into his house. That was it. The guy never told anyone bout his job at agip until we came for his house warming party.
I dont know what most communities think a bride price is. Is it a sale of a commodity or an alliance with another family?

Cornel88: Your friends elder sister must be around her late 30's or early 40's. That is why she is very cheap. And probably that igbo girl must have finished her nysc, then the difference is clear.

ChEkWaS IyKe :

hardbody:

If you are any where near smart you will know we are talking about bride price here not the the total cost of a traditional wedding. Did you study that part of English Language called comprehension? It means reading, understanding and retaining.

Policewoman: MBAISE IN IMO STATE IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE. They grade their brides in 4 categories:
1. ILLITERATE
2. SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
3. GRADUATE
4. MASTERS AND ABOVE

Each has their different price tags. For example the graduate can cost you as much as 600k to 1m.

igbsam: And you call that ridiculous ? My friend got married to an owerri girl last year. He paid a bride price of N2.5million, after which, he bought the wedding materials for all the relatives, from the mother, to the father down to the uncles and aunties, the sisters and cousins including nephews. He was also give 2 family members to train in school and business. After 8months of the wedding.....the bride's father demanded for a car and the father specifically asked for a 2005 c-class Mercedes Benz Car which he borrow money to buy for him. The mother asked for some money to fill her shop with stocks which my friend is still finding it difficult to give her. Isn't this ridiculous ?

EMMA BC:
You know it that u just told lies just to discredit a tribe u hate. Can u tell me the place in Igboland where bp is 500k and also d place in yorubaland where bp is #2. In Igbo land, bride price in most places are not fixed, rather d suitor is asked to pay whatever he wishes. In some other parts, it's fixed but very very minimal. It cud be 2k, 5k or 10k.

vivalableue: I feel sorry for you guys lol, because my people pay dowry and therefore the man gets money and goods transferred to him. It's supposed to be my value at the time of marriage. And depending on my education, job, and social class it gets to be very high. And my parents pay for the wedding too! It's supposed to show that the bride is coming from a very wealthy family and has very high class, and only high class people marry each other. So in theory, my dowry should only represent say 15-30% of the husband's worth. Including myself there are 6 boys and 4 girls in the family, so my parents need to be very wealthy indeed to pay that much dowry especially since we are all educated and fair skinned

Buc: 'fair skinned'. Me wil giv a kidney 4 an ebony beauty.

991:

you see all those qualities in women and you still complain of being mgbeke??
the fact remains that Enugu women are the best and their families don't bankrupt inlaws in the name of pride price.

Because they date for love and not for money and they act like ladies and treat their husbandwith respect unlike other Eastern states they are now called Mgbeke abi... In nutshell, it is those peeps from Anambra, Imo and Abia that notoriously gives the East bad names. Go figure..

Tell them!
