Cost Of Traditional Rites Ruining His Relationship by mondob2k(m): 9:34pm On Sep 26, 2014 |
My girl is frm Imo State (Mbaise). We were discussing one day and she said that she has seen thier trad marriage list. In her words- "N500,000:00K will cover d items on d list". Entertainment n white wedding never dey there o. And that has really got me thinking. And a casual female friend of mine from Abia once said her trad list is up N800K... Now I dont know to do... Is it right to consider these cost before 'falling in love'? Me is from Edo n ours isnt like this. |

Elantracey: Before you start thinking of marriage make sure you're financially ready for it .Paying 500K or 800k for item on a list to me is a big fraud, that is not being financially ready. |

Silkmoth33: Yes it does. infact it differs from LGAs. in the same Imo where Mbaises are cutting people's neck you'll still find some of the cheapest trad rites e.g. Ihube close to Okigwe is pretty cheap compared to Mbaise and Owerri. |
Re: Cost Of Traditional Rites Ruining His Relationship by Nobody: 10:26pm On Sep 26, 2014 |
mondob2k:Umuahia still isn't as high as 800k, the most expensive thing in the Umuahia list is the Goat (and maybe the big big snails you have to get in baskets). 150k should settle them joor. Me, I'm from the Uturu/Isuikwato axis |

Elantracey: You are right,there are weddings that cost more,but there are wedding that cost less or equal. Love is patient,love does not keep record of wrong, love is pleasant but Love is not Fraud, Love is not sold to the highest bidder,love does not lead two 'ought to be happy couple) into poverty. 1 Like |

Handsomeemmy: you're right , there's no price tag for love but this is marriage and in this country we're in , the wedding doesn't only involve the parties involved but also the family. |

Elantracey:That's why intending couple ought to sitdown and talk to their various parents in polite way. Mum and Dad,don't push me to go beyond my limit because a Wedding was the talk of town does not mean I must follow his step, because they spent 500k for items on list for Nkechi does not mean my hubby to be ought to do same for me. Remind both parents that you have a marriage to sustain,weddings ends on the day, but marriage is a continuous process. 3 Likes |

We need to stop this dowry of a thing....We should say 'NO' to people selling their girl-child indirectly.... Parents do not care about the after- effect of this act....Husbands start disrespecting their wives simply because they already have the notion that they have been bought.... In my own home-town, (according to what my mum told me) the elders collect dowry or the money...But later return it to the man.....They let him that they are not selling their child... |
