JideAmuGiaka:Thanks my man. We are married already. They gave me one long ass list but elders from my place , my wife and her bro really helped. It's all about negotiating well and most importantly having allies on the wife's side. 4 Likes 1 Share |

greypencils:Do not delay bro, our marriage is the cheapest in Imo state. I am from Umuaka Orlu and I can testify to have given my two sisters out in marriage as the first son of my father. Let me point out here that while majority of families are still in the cheap bracket, others tend to take some few chunk of money out of your pocket. The amount for bride price is 100 naira, but in my own case my inlaw brought a bunch of 20000 naira, I took out 100 naira and gave the rest to him to use it to take care of my sister, virtually every family in my place does this. But I will advise you budget from 200-300 thousand naira to fufill both the marriage list and traditional marriage feast. 1 Like |

achi4u: cant the price of the cow and the number of goats be reduced. i am planning to get married from Ezza, my future mother inlaw who went to the village for one of their relatives marriage said that her husband kinsmen collected 150k but later agreed at 120k from the groom for the cow and 5 goats at 30k each. my question now is that can the cow be negotiated from 150k to 50 or 70k and can the goats be negotiated from that 5 to 3 or even 2. i will appreciate more explanation on this bro |

Emoregan:I think I've answered you from my post you quoted. It varies from family to family. If you really love to marry her (ur wife to be) go ahead no matter how little cash u go with. The afia efi this days might be between 70 to 100k and the goat must reach 3 and above. God bless your hustle Bro. |

babzlim:Don't exaggerate pls, those petty demands are what a groom can just put a token in the bowl for. My 5 elder sisters are all married, so I know what I'm saying. cheers. |

Olumyyde: I also have friends who get married come and see how those pocket hungry alaga womn emptied our pocket. This marriage thing depends on the family in question. My cousin gave her sister out in marriage and everything the husband spent wasn't even up too 100k. |
Re: Igbo Marriage And Bride Price: Put The Records Straight (Represent Your Culture) by Olumyyde(m): 2:35pm On Jan 17, 2019 |
babzlim:U're correct, it depends on the family. |

In fact am surprised even my sister and mom have refused to believe me that what am saying is a lie that Igbo trad list can't b 250k that is very expensive that what am reading online is a lie. My fiancee is from abba njikoka LGA. Planning on making moves mid next yr. Am glad is not that high abeg I still dey hustle. Although a friend that from the east said it depends on her family and that she has to let them know that am not that rich and all so as not to bill me much. Am glad for this info |

I'm from a community in Isiala Mbano, Imo State. In my Umunna, when you settle the Umuada by buying what's on the list or paying 25,000. The next is to settle the Umunna which is not bigger than 50k. The next important things are the items to be bought for the parents of the girl, which you can easily settle with the girls parents. The father takes her pride price, depending on how much he wants. There's no fixed price, however,it is usually not more than 10k. After , this your wife is yours. I'm well aware of the marital rites if my kindred. |
