This is another Igbo traditional marriage list I just saw and the person that shared it said it was the typical list in all of Igboland. Although there might be little amendment due to Family and other related culture in Igboland. Above all, it seems is expensive than the yoruba type shared with us last week http://www.native9ja.com/common-yoruba-traditional-wedding-engagement-list/. The bride price which is the most taking point is absolutely optional and negotiable. Check it out below… MARRIAGE LIST FOR THE FAMILY Ego maternity -N- 1,000 Body cream: lux soap; big towel, 1 each Ego ogo cherem – 50,000 Yams 20 tubers Snails 20 Okporoko (stockfish) 1 big tray For the ngwa efere Yams 40 pieces Okporoko – 2 Ukwa anu ewu – 2 Morning rose powder – 24 Pomade – 20 Sugar – 10 packets Ovaltine (tea) – 2 big size Bar soap – 1 carton Tablet soap – 1 carton Tin milk – 1 carton Bread – 24 loaves Salt – 2 bags Rice – 1 bag Tomatoes tin – 1 carton Red (palm)oil – 1 tin Groundnut oil – 1 rubber Kerosene – 1 tin Maltina drink – 2 cartons Soft drink – 6 crates Onions – 40 bulbs Ego ala abo – -N- 10,000 Ego nfotu ite – -N- 1000 Big basin – 2 Big umbrella – 2 George material – 2 pieces Hollandis material – 2 pieces Blouse material – 2 pieces Head ties – 2 Wrist watch – 1 shoes – 2 pairs Big box – 1 Lamp – 1 Hand bag – 1 Nigerian wax – 1 piece Gold necklace and ear ring – 1 piece dance MARRIAGE LIST FOR UMUADA Section A 8 Kola nuts or cost price 8 Gallons of palm wine or cash equivalent 8 heads of tobacco with potash 1 Goat for umunna 2 Crates of minerals 1 Carton of maltina 2 Cartons of star beer 1 Carton of Guinness small stout 8 Packets of Benson and Hedges 2 Bottles of Ground snuff Lump sum (ogwe ego) – -N- 2,000 2 Bottles of seaman’s schnapps drink Section B Kola nuts or cash equivalent 20 Gallons of palm wine or cash equivalent 2 Crates of minerals 2 cartons of maltina 2 cartons of Guinness small stout 10 cartons of star beer One roll of Benson and Hedges 12 Heads of tobacco with potash 4 bottles of seaman’s schnapps 4 bottles of ground snuff Ego ala ezi – -N-1,500 Officers money – -N-1,000 SECTION C 32 kola nuts or cost price 30 gallons of palmwine or cost price 2 crates of minerals 2 cartons of maltina 2 cartons of Guinness small stout 10 crates of Star beer Two rolls of Benson and Hedges 32 Heads of tobacco with potash 4 bottles of seaman’s schnapps Umunna Ahuna Ego Toasting of wine 1 bottle of seaman’s schnapps with 500 naira for Onye Eze (Village chief) Ego Umuama -N- 1000 Ego mpatu Anya (Jealousy money) -N- 1,200 Ikpo Onu Aku Nwanyi (Bride price) – Negotiable You are free to amend.
