Na wife person won marry, no be slave person won buy, difference dey oh...

Midehi:

As hilarious s it seems , some lists are not far from this.

The truth is that if money dey there is no biggy spending 3million naira on a list but in Naija of today i will advice these people to reduce that list to at most 200k or they will just be doing serious damage to their daughters.

At least a guy that can afford 200k can also take care of a lady to as reasonable level while he builds his life up.

i don't think a sane man will request for such, its barbaric

Na to run for my life oo

Nope its not about you requesting but in some eastern part,a list(including bride price) can cost as high as over 1million and this is no joke and even for those who claim there own is not like that it will interest you to know that the list alone can go as high as 400k and as i will always say, this is no big deal if the money is available because i can spend millions on a lady i love but at the same time, these greedy elders and family members must understand that many of their daughters are been ignored because of this madness.

This is why i wrote that if they can reduce the bride price and the list to be around 200k generally and any man who wants to go beyond that is free to do so then we will see less of unmarried beautiful and decent igbo ladies above 30yrs.

That's the culture

you right anyway, but i guess tradition won't allow reduction, or maybe its a crime for an individual to privately reduce the prize, cos i believe there would still be some men who does'nt want this killer prize.

moreover, you have a powerful smile on your dp and i just gave a like.

The last time I check to cohabit without marriage is allowed....by the tym the girl don deliver like 3 set of twins for my hux dem go beg make I come do introduction....

Thanks dearie for the compliment.

Please dont let us go to that side of tradition because what is been done right now is not what the tradition is all about.

You can read my thread on bride price in thee African tradition to understand better.

alright

Her toto na gold?, if I pay all these things she no go travel go house, her people no go visit us, I will become her Lord and personal saviour.

This list will probably be given to the man if I am not there because it means that my parents don't want me to ever get married.

It's a joke

What u are saying is a lie becus the only tin dat made the money high is just the traditional ceremony and somethings in the list but the bride price of many eastern part isn't even up to 20,000 u can ask ur mum dat's y u are a lady u need to know them like in imo state if a man is coming to marry the lady his own culture tells him to bring cloths jewels and shoes for the lady b4 taking her so what do u say about dat? The op just form those stuff those can't be a traditional marriage requirement

Lol @ I can spend millions on the lady I love. Sounds like you're remitting the money into the lady's account when you're actually spending it on fanfare and to conform to society idiosyncrasy. I understand what you meant by that though.

Everyday we complain how there are husband scarcity and how the number of spinsters keeps skyrocketing when we know clearly the reason for this occurrence. Marital rights of many ethnic groups in Nigeria is high and many struggling bachelors are finding hard to afford it. How do they expect someone who has 500k capital for instance to fund matrimonial rites that could gulp 300k. A money that might have took him years to save up goes just like that?

I even find it foolish for a guy with a 2million net worth to spend up to 500k for a wedding. Heck, it's just a day ceremony why not save up when the kids start coming up. Go to a marriage registry and wed there. It's cheap and serves same purpose of a marriage.
