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.guy i quote u wrong coz am an igbo girl and know our traditions is true dat we dont return d bride price but d groom is left 2 decide hw much 2 pay as the dowry. |

fumisko: Please like how much do Igbo people collect as bride price? Because my igbo friend was saying that because her dad is a christain, her own would be like 750000 naira. Is it usually more? That's suicidal. Where wil he get such money....poor groom. For Yorubas in my place, the money is given to the couple or better still back to the husband(groom) and he is told to take care of their daughter with the money. Yoruba bride price in my place is about 5000-10000 naira This is a stupid question to ask It's like me asking how much do Yorubas borrow for owanbe? The Igbo culture varies from community to community and marriage rites can vary from family to family sef In my case after the token bride price was paid,my father took one Naira and gave the rest back We all make jests about high bride price in Igboland and I join in But common sense should tell you that all igbos are not millionaires In Igboland are poor people too and they are getting married daily,how are they paying for it? I can assure you the average Yoruba wedding costs a whole lot more than an average Igbo wedding Igbos are certainly not as flamboyant and generally would not go into debt to throw an Owambe and repeat it 9 months later in a naming ceremony Even the culture of asho ebi crept into Igboland not too long ago We didn't do asho ebi till the other day Not our culture Neither do we block streets in merriment and show of wealth But you folks keep hammering on this same sorry line about bride price Mschtwwwwwww!!! Why are people from your area trooping to Igboland for wives despite these supposedly cut throat bride prices that will impoverish them ? Why are my brothers not rushing the "cheaper versions" where the little they pay is even returned Why are Igbo men sticking to Igbo women Have you asked yourself that question when you know the average Igbo man wants a profit Why is he not crossing the River niger for bargain wives while your brothers are rushing Igbo girls to be fleeced Food for thought Happy new year 1 Like |

It makes sense really. Back when I was younger, I didn't care and thought woman is woman, whether ibo or yoruba, etc. But the older I got and the more I began to take stock of my pocket, I have deduced that marrying an ibo wife would really hit my wallet. So I respect myself and don't engage Ibo women in that light...unless if she is truly exceptional. And let's not kid ourselves, even though every person thinks they are "exceptional" the reality is that they are not. 1 Like |

2buff: It makes sense really. In 99% of Igbo villages and towns, One can marry a wife and make a total expense of less than 100k. Its not expensive to marry an Igbo Gal, Except shes from some parts of imo state, They have the highest bride price in our Land. Every other thing u hear is absolutely not compulsory to bring in Igbo land, It depends on agreement and on the Family. It will be quite stupid for someone that is not Igbo and has not travelled out of their region to try n talk nonsense. |
