I can't and I won't pay 500K for those girls with male legs, ugly faces and strong a$$. I don't buy human beings. That is what slavery is all about yet will criticize white people for trading on blacks for farming in the Americas in the past here we are doing the same thing in modern times in Igbo land. F**k all Igbo people involved in this barbaric act! Ptui! angry angry angry cry

Most of the viewers of this thread think a girl has to be a virgin before you marry her, yes its good if she is but the rate of poverty in Nigeria makes the availability of virgins the most scarce commodity. On the other hand, people like Kanye West who fell in love with a girl that got her fame performing a doggy style on camera would look at some of the comments and think wat da hell is wrong with Africa. There are some really hot girls in Nigeria that will make you borrow money from your family just to marry them and you will have no choice because your competitor is ready to pay the price.

The guy in question needs to evaluate his pros and cons.

Firstly, can he afford the 500K if yes, will he still be able to sustain life with the girl after spending the 500K.

Secondly, does the girl have disposable income if yes, how much of it can she contribute towards the wedding.

In most instances Nigerian girls believe the man is the only person that needs to bear the cross while she keep her own income safe, if that is this guys case i suggest he look for alternatives as he is in for big trouble.

The 500K is not bad, the guy needs to evaluate what items that can be compromised and seek contribution from the girl (this has to stay between both of them).

In some states this 500K is just phase 1, people can scream all they care but spending this 500K doesn't mean you are buying the girl. The items listed are all commodities that will be consumed by the girl's extended families on the wedding day, most of the items are commodities or services, its not even a cash donation.
Nonsense!

But Kanye West has succour in the fact that his wife has money too. If the girl in question is gainfully employed and probably drives her own car and just average okay then am sure the guy won't even blink before the 500k is produced. Imagine a girl who has f. uck ed around all in the name of am in a relationship, taking care of most of her expenses in school by sleeping with Emeka, chukwudi and Co, her parents can't even get her a degree instead she's in a poly and you have the gut to draft a list of 500k. Am I mad?

asuustrike2009:

are you supposing the groom to pay such amount? If yes bear it in mind that the family is selling their daughter not marriage
No, I am not. Nsukka people don't demand or fix price for the bride. You pay what comes from your mind, and as a reasonable person, you should pay something more than 10k(#10 000). Even if you pay some outrageous amount willingly, the family will accept it and show it to people(kins men) just for 'PRIDE' (it gives value to the girl and her family) and after they will collect some and give you back your money. Telling you that they are not selling their child and if you mishandled her, they will come and collect their child back.

I married a yoruba woman. I paid a $500 bride price as demanded. On our wedding day the father handed me an envelope and when i opened it, i was surprised to see the money i paid as bride price. I thought i had offended someone or something. When i asked him he said, "we don't sell our children". Apparently, they ask for it as per tradition, and give it back on your wedding day. We've been married 15 years and counting.

Madness. And some complain that there are too many unmarried ladies out there waiting to get married when the cost of getting oneself a bride is on the high side. How many young able Nigerian men have 500k as savings and something they can just lavish on a ceremony without experiencing some financial setback.

I see this as not only irresponsible on the part of Igbo culture but more so one of long throat by our gluttonic elders who takes advantage of any ceremony, be it marriage, burial, child dedication, as an avenue to feast and satisfy their appetite for free food.

These scavengers mean no good for their daughter 'after marriage life' as they care less about her well-being and survival in her to-be hubby's house. All they're concern about is for him to empty his entire savings in performing marital rites and don't bother if they eat sand there after or if indeed he can be able to provide for their 'daughter'. Modafuckers.

This is very considerate. They have costed the party and the traditional things you need to present. If you were to marry from some other places like the south west, the party which no one will cost for you will take far more than this.

Oga.... If you look at the list you see that there other things like the money for the cook, decorations and so on ....

As far as my personal opinion is concern...marry her if you have the money


Besides in Igbo land its not a must that you provide all that once .... You can do the important ones and complete them over the years as you live with the girl though this depends on the relationship between you and your in-laws.


My brother god forbid you are saying is that you have not yet want to marry or you don't have money to marry ..... Do you think is easy to find the right woman when the time comes ......

As for me .... I can pay that money 1000x to have wife over and over again cos she worth it

Yes, it does! That is one of the reasons there is domestic violation in most homes in Nigeria because the man feels he has paid for the woman's life. Owning her as part of his properties. I can now understand why they treat women with scorn and demean them in Nigeria due to this one ugly practice of selling girls. Ptui! Shame on all of you who support this primitive act.
