No! We're not reducing any bride price. You must be a man, a real man, to marry our precious daughters. Go and work or go and die a wretched lonely man! Arrant nonsense!!!

You have succeeded in speaking like a GOAT.

How expensive is marrying an Igbo Lady?

Eco2580:
How expensive is marrying an Igbo Lady?

go and find out your self

My Igbo neighbour 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.

they are many in Port Harcourt doing ashewo business, am serious, honestly.. why should i marry them when i can pay 1k and hmmm?
Ashewo no be work ooooooo....

B69U:
That is just a rubbish talk, any man wanting to get married should be financially stable. The yorubas will not erode igbo culture and values under the pretence of one Nigeria.


I bet if we carry out some investigation u will find that no such comments were made.


Why must a yoruba owned news paper be the one to report the heavily tribalist story line? Note Yoruba men getting happy over nothing on the front page. Why are igbo men not complaining or commenting on the front page about their marriage rite?


Soon they will ask the Bride parents to foot the bill of the marriage as it is yoruba culture. Desperados igbo bride price have been around since forever and is not going anywhere. It is here to stay.

Pchidexy:


Bros, abeg say what you know. Do you know the marriage custom of every Imo community? Smh. Say what you know nd not what you are told.

Dear, I don't know marriage ish for the whole IMO state, but I'm not lost.

We currently have 2 IMO women in my family right now n I also have a friend who married an IMO girl in 2013. I'm speaking with the experience I got from these ones.

After boys don chop them tire for free or for small change all in d name of dating? Dey there dey deceive urself..

I read this thread from the 1st to the last page and my observation is that majority of the posters are yorrobars. My question is why? Why are yorrobars so obsessed with Igbo ladies. Yet they claim that Igbo ladies are all prostitutes

Do yorrobar men have penchants for marrying prostitutes? And why are Igbo guys not obsessed with yorrobar ladies as much as yorrobar guys are for Igbo ladies?

Bride price in IGBO LAND is not expensive naaa
I used to think it is very EXPENSIVE, until I partook in my BROTHER'S traditional wedding....

We married the LADY from ANAMBRA.. and we didn't spend more than #500 as her DOWRY.

we initially gave the family #70,000 and the FATHER blessed it and took only #500. HE equally gave us a BILLYGOAT to go with it..

I think it depends highly on where you are marrying from.

Realgana:
No loitering
No parking
No hawking

keep moving...

No wonder most of em marries at late 30+, some become baby mama eventually and some die single to some extent become desperate for rich dude guyz taken advantage of that...

Dats a gud news.

This thread is invalid becos only yoruba men are commenting on them.

The igbo men seem fine with the Bride Price arrangement.

For igbos marriage is a very serious affair and not childs play.

Yorubas want to use marriage as pretence to date igbo girls and then later move on. That is the only way for them.

The Bride Price means they cannot divorce their wife and go after another igbo family becos the thing will get expensive.


Igbo guys are not complaining becos they don't have this agenda and intend to marry only one, so no expenses as every body spend on their wedding.

My advice to the yoruba tribe is to stop planning evil for the igbos tribe, u have ur women to marry and divorce as u like be happy and content with that and leave evil.


U are trying to degrade igbos and avoid a cost, that wont happen as it will be costly to u.

Igbo girls only became ashawo wen a select few started accepting marriage proposal from very rich yoruba familyl, before that they were not ashawo.


I can tell u that the real ashawo of Nigeria are yoruba women, they have the highest rate of baby mama and divorce rate in the country.

I know too many yoruba baby mama.

Nuturing a female in Igbo land is like an investment because it will surely yield fruits.

Of course, fruit of the womb.

Sorry e pain you well well. Tell your girls to stop eating too much akpu. How can u marry a woman and both of you will be shaving beards. In fact ur wife will be shaving chest beard and chin. How the yonder go con be.

I say no to beard chest, yam leg Igbo girls with big akpu filled stomachs that won't mke you know if they pregnant or not. You no go fit differentiate belle from waist.

Chai Igbo girls don suffer

From what I have seen , I fink yourba girls are bigger or fatter than Igbo girls.

Did I hear you say Igbo? Nada! Say Igbo.

If our bride price is high and our girls are ashawos, we love them like that. Big ups!

They must not marry outsiders

Simple-The higher the price the lower the quantity that will be demanded -Ceteris paribus

B69U:
Go and marry your yoruba women and let your wife parents foot the bill as it is your yoruba culture.


Afterall, una mama parents paid bride price to your father parents.


Anyhow, they are our women and we love them as they are, go and face your own women and stop disgracing yourself, i don dey feel shame for una.

Wrong conception about the Yoruba culture on marriage...Bride's parent do not foot the bills as most people on this forum are saying.

The concept is that in the traditional marriage rites, the family of the bride prepares the drinks/drinks/entertainment etc because the assumption is that the husband & his family members are their guests for that particular day. On the other side, the guys family would bring all the required items contained on the wedding list as stipulated by the woman's family (From personal experience, the some of the items on such list are not cheap though the woman's family can reduce the list as they see fit).

However, the capable guy can decide to foot the bills of hosting the traditional festivities though some parents do gladly deny such requests because its not done in the Yoruba culture for the guests to foot the entertainment bills when they are clearly the visitors.

From what i have seen on this forum, we all need to understand each others culture and appreciate the pros and the cons just like somebody suggested...
