Don't forget that these lists and rites are still negotiable. Family of the girl can also waive a lot of things depending on the man's financial status. People should not be discouraged to go where ever their heart takes them.

Mine is far more than this. It's six pages with about 1.5m in cash as bride price and others.

Pchidexy:


And the other two?

Depends on the communities, and in some cases families. Generally, bride price is considered high in many parts of Imo and Abia states.

Pchidexy:


It is obvious you are illiterate. Why should you generalize? Have you married from every community in Imo state. Onye apali!!

Silly mumu from IMO state who cannot travel to his village from year to year or make proud of his towm ,tell me part of IMO state community list that u can spend less than #300,000 on traditional marriage, mumu without knowledge.

As an Igbo man..you don't need all the elderly men to he there because you can't please all..even Jesus couldn't please 12

If a handful of them are there ..the show must go on

My sister married and been the first son and dad late..they brought list ....I just cancelled so many things and I called then bluffs. I asked them how many of them contributed money for her education and others .

They couldn't say anything. The igba nkwu continued seamlessly

It all depends in the father and uncles of the bride . once the male family members are okay . call others bluff.

I am an Anambra man . that's how e roll

Kwusi imebo anyi ebe a...inugo

Anambra and Abia are two different states. You have said What you know but don't say what you don't know

Chrisjane:

So abia has a different culture from other igbos ?

This is ridiculous. For just one wife?

donbenedict:
i'm so not marrying from my state

Nna why na?

Abeg buy your state to make your state better!

Abi no be so?

Logician:
Get the lady pregnant and th family would beg you to pay 50k

there are some families you can't mess up with and go scot free...

sayitright:


hmm Ikeduru dey expensive? last time I checked we don't charge much in Umudim.

Myb una side diffrent. Umesokwa/aboh own na him worst pass.

donfemo:
This is just what you pay apart form the expenses of the wedding day itself. Well after everything the lady does not expect you to be equal in that marriage. You will be her Lord and personal saviour.

You're maaaad!

tuk2ato:
At list 22, the groom retroactively paid for the schooling of the bride. All these demands will make one think that the family of the bride wants to open a bar of some sort, by the way who is the person that wants to smoke the 2 packets of Benson and Hedges. Didnt know Star beer is that popular in the East. Ibos dont joke with 'Ahcohal'

Most of those are not for the girl's family, but for "village groups"...the omoniles of traditional marriages.

those of you shouting imo state should go and get their facts right please cause its not like that in orlu

SpotlezDonald25:
Abia girls are useless

Your mum too.

Chrisjane:

Anambra and Abia are two different states. You have said What you know but don't say what you don't know

my dear he is right. it depends on the family. be it abia or imo or anambra.

FlirtyKaren:

Anybody here planning to get married to a lady from Abia state soon? Here is the reviewed marriage list of Itaja Umuelile, Olokoro,

, Abia State.

http://www.lailasblog.com/2016/04/guys-see-2016-bride-price-in-abia-state.html

what is the purpose of this list if I may ask. I know you will answer "tradition".
Is it convenient?, is it affordable?
Your answer "tradition".
With this mentality and attitude, the country is not going to move forward. We encourage extortion and laziness. It's very convenient to brandish the sword of "tradition" when we want to extort from others. Don't you think this practice encourages corruption?
A lot of folks get done with weddings to go drink garri because of "culture or Tradition" what exactly is culture or tradition in the context of what we practice in Nigeria ?. what purpose does it serve?.
Has it made our country better? We need to start to think, revise and update our knwledge. Smh

sapiosexual1:
Daylight robbery. Na them send me go school?
The igbos are inadvertently selling off their daughters, and then when the man struggles to pay through his shi.t hole, tomorrow people would be talking of gender equality when he beats his wife silly for acting childish.
He has acquired the right over her head.
Gender based violence is wrong buh the igbo elders who should know better are encouraging it, for the pleasure of a few cartons of hot drinks.
Talk of the value they place on Igbo ladies. Pathetic.

No pain No Gain. Cheap Things Go No Respect.
If you truely Love Her I commend you to past all they're requesting fas. And dontry lay hands on her cos of silly money or ....

Mrokaykay:
There is absolutely nothing wrong in providing all these especially when the money is there....the mother of my unborn kids and beautiful wife deserves more than these....moreover the guy is not getting a slave or house help.... he is marring a WIFE.

vanvickie:

It's been like this for a long time in ibo land that their bride price is outrageously expensive.

I find all this very funny. I highly doubt that I'll pay shishi as bridprice.

Outstandingly bold icons.

This is too outrageous for a man to pay for his bride's parent to be. How can they demand this big from me? Let's go our separate ways, please else I will get you pregnant
