I am an Igbo boy, Ezinihitte Mbaise to be precise. I have an intention of marrying from among my people when time comes. But fear always gripe me whenever i think of what it takes to marry one of our ladies. And don't even think of living with one ilegally cos, God forbid she dies, u will be made to marry her corpse b4 burying her. My matanal uncle was lamenting recently that he don't know how to give his inlaws to be, the list given to him by his kinsmen. The worst is that the list is now in two; one for an educated girl while the other, for the uneducated. Please brethen, what do we do, what way 4ward?

Lool dis z insane....dis so called kinsmen dat gvs d list....dey dn't even knw aw d scapegoat (bride) came in2 dis wrld...aw she was trained...dey jez jump awt of nowhr wen marriage z announced.....dis z xo nt gd...........plz kinsmen (dats ef dre z any hr) stp chasin away our prospective husbands away biko....tho m 4rm Abia.....ourz z no way diff..........Haba!

U beta tell them if not, all our ladies though beautiful will soon become 'nna ga alu'.

LOL
Na una own be dat

And which one be all this marrying of courpse again? Necrophilia mehn
O boy I dey fia igbo people O. Una own just too much.

I would advise any igbo person who considers themselves a christian to denounce a lot of these cultural practices.
....But as I have seen, majority (not all) of Igbo are generally traditionalists who would rather follow archaic/paganistic culture than look at things from the perspective of their faith and common sense.

Marry her corpse ke?

Idowuogbo:
Marry her corpse ke?

To flip this shite around,
Imagine now say one family bring one guy corpse say dey want one girl from iboland to marry it.
The family will pay the girls bride price/list everything no matter how expensive....only that she marry the corpse.
I won't be surprised if her parents and kinsmen agree (all dem so-far-i-shop)

Na these kind fawkup tinz dey fear me with igbo people.

Please brethen, what do we do, what way 4ward?

Stay single as long as possible

Zeemor, you haven't still told me your brideprice.
Why are you delaying? OR do you want to marry yourself?

2buff, ogini?
I don't even remember you asking me about it

2buff:


Zeemor, you haven't still told me your brideprice.

I can't marry myself, ain't no Grace Gelder
If you want, I can mail you the long list and the bride price itself(let me tell you up front, it's non-negotiable)

As a hawt yoruba girl I know you won't too cost like that so no wahala
Since your parents will be handling the traditional, let's do that one first and thing of white wedding much much MUCH later.

We need to keep this as low cost as possible
This is neccessary so we can afford to go to paris for our honeymoon.

'Illegally'?? You have a choice; choose not to abide by what you don't believe in, or don't try marrying what you can't afford. Ndo.

What can be worse than dating/marrying a stingy man like 2buff?

You're the classic example of a Close-fisted Edo man
