skydeep:
What were they doing to their wives?

skydeep:
Irony

nekaa: cause the money is too small to be used for anything actually....















Before you start barking and biting; I am a yoruba gal

smurfy:

Ehn! Don't tell me you don't know o!

The more expensive the wife, the more the bragging, beating, etc.

Not true for all Igbo marriages sha.

shegzi: since you know better pls do share your perspective

SeaGold: Should that be attributed to the high level of promiscuity among yoruba women since they're no 'security' bond? na joke

skydeep:
You are confused

smurfy:

No, I'm not. Don't go abusive on me just because you're Igbo and my point bit you hard.

skydeep:
I can't abuse you and I have not done that. I just stated the obvious

felzylix: Cos they know for sure their child is not worth the price been paid
*just trying to b honest

lacreamilips: As 4 me a igbo gal, my dad told my guy he doesn't want d money which is 60naria, dat he is selling me but dis made my uncles very angry aft all d money my dad spent on me , my dad told dem off cos none of dem contribute one naria in my education. Its also depend on d gal's famliy wateva her father says is final not tradition.

hayoakins: cos we dont sell our daughters.

However, the cash isn't giving to the groom but the bride instead. It is up to her to decide how to spend it.

Our daughters/sisters/niece and cousins aren't for sale

Chaleeee: If I hear say Igbo man return the money!!!!!! Yorubas do not sell their children unlike the igbos. From Yoruba weddings I have witnessed, the average bride price is around N10,000 coupled with yam, fruits and other little things.

My Igbo neighbor has 5 girls and he's always saying he's sending them to sch so that he can use their bride price to buy land and build a new house. The price range can be ridiculous at times.... so families even ask for cars and landed properties in choice areas. Marriage shd be a thing of joy, not a money making avenue

Omooba77: It is only the bride price other oh. Other money like owo babagbo; iyagbo; omode ile,arugbo ile..........And fruits,yam, rice, coke and things like that will be collected and shared by nuclear and extended families...............

Orikinla: I hope Igbos can learn from the Yorubas.

Omooba77: Biblically Bride price is compulsory; though most Yoruba family collect and return it immediately to groom's family.

odua boy: Unlike ibos..Yorubas dont sell their daughters with the pretense of bride price.

Omooba77:

Very interesting....Hearing this for the first time, it is always to the groom's family.

odua boy: Unlike ibos..Yorubas dont sell their daughters with the pretense of bride price.
