Adaowerri111:Tah gbafuo there. This is not true any where. Not only female antelope and female grass cutter, you'll provide female hippopotamus too. This is made up. Tell us the name of the village that demands all these things. |

gracevile: Not true. Igbo men are less likely to marry outside their group. When they do, they are more likely to marry women from cultures with equally high marriage costs e.g Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw. 2 Likes |

Adaowerri111: It's real, my village list was 3 pages and each page was longer than that list you posted. Somethings can be negotiated or substituted with its monetary value. The list is usually divided into what the man will do for the girl's father, her mother, the umu Ada( elder women) and the elders, also things he will buy for the bride. It's just inevitable Igbo tradition and this is not even the bride price, he will still do the list and pay the bride price. Pride price can range from N5 to thousands of naira depending on brides village and family demands 1 Like |

Adaowerri111: This is fair enough! let the guy propose, sharp-sharp I did not see things like *(x2 Units) of latest model of Rayleigh Bicycle! *Train two Boys from her family and set them up in Lagos! *Open Shop for Wife's Mother and stock with provisions *Italian Shoe for Daddy! *Two pairs of Wahl Shaving Clipper (Original WAHL.... not China!) * e.t.c Back then, my friends own has such things and the guy just broke into "sweat" when he was given. Lastpage! BTW: I think the "Gender Bill" should have things like this (Dowry and items) expressly proscribed and criminalised, what say you women? |

oguego: Well, I'm an Urhobo and ours is way way way more less than that. I have attended a few weddings in Igbo land. I actually never thought the men paid this high before the marriage is agreed. |

That list could be from Mbano. #500k and this whole thing is off the way. Then you get set for entertainment. But with a good father in law you could just hand them #300k and go your way. On the Awka list, man that's not too bad o. You didn't get to dress her parents which would be costing around #150k for both. Gender equality bill got nothing to do with this, we're Africans with a set of tradition before the white men came. You'd wrestle your fellow man for a beautiful maiden those days na, cultivate their land, pound fufu, do some real hunting to prove you can really take care. No doubt the economy is.. ....and youths of marriageable age lay siege on the doors of classy weddings. It's common psychology that they'd want to see if you're prepared or not. Talk to your fiance or be and let him take a step even with the little he has. Carry-over is allowed. 1 Like |
