This shows that a woman in that community is far cheaper than a tokunbo Toyota Camry Orobo.
Omo, your wife to be is too cheap. Go and marry and stop complaining.
That woman is yours for life.
You won't post it here if they give you the price of a used Range Rover sports at Berger. You'll proudly buy it if you've the money.
If a man cannot spend money to marry a woman he loves, I bet he can't take good care of that woman.
In my area in Abia state, it is a thing of pride to fulfill all demands in marrying a woman

BECAUSE WOMEN ARE JEWELS.

attention seeking TROLL
God doesn't recognize the fact that you exist so your idea/mindset doesn't count.
see who is talking about poverty alleviation, I bet you are one of those poor church rats jumping from.one thread to another looking for who will notice them.
Don't worry, you've been noticed.

azaino:

that is why Igbo guy men marry very late, cos u have to consider your pocket viability before dreaming about marriage.

Sad truth ..

MrRitchie:
You better retrieve your sister from him.. Bro Taiwo has joined bad gang, he's now a yoruba demon

MrRitchie:
I was preparing for work this morning when my elder bro sent this (paper) to me via email.

I once heard if you want to marry a girl from the east you'll have to pay extra $€£¥

Ok, back to the matter, my bro is preparing for his traditional wedding anytime soon.

Below is the list of things they ask him to buy, after I was done with the calculations and all, I got a total of close to #500,000 just to buy things listed in the list.

Mind you the list doesn't include food, drinks, canopies, chairs just to name a few that will be used in the event.

I just said in my mind, Eku tracession wedding.

amicable09:

Lol. I'll do just that!

azaino:

what you said are all true, my father has told me the same thing when I commended *AKOKWA* my home town for the cheaper cost of marriage, my cut in and said Arondizugo is more cheaper. and I learnt how nice and respectful their girls can be. definitely I will be patronizing arondizugo when I see anyone that will captivate me. and as for the juju that one no concern me at allll

priscaoge:


Some people think it was a lie tho. I have attended a marriage ceremony in Akokwa and their tradition is similar to ours, just a little difference.....

lonelydora:
I wonder why people complain about marriage lists. If you really love the girl you want to marry, nothing is too expensive in paying for the list, otherwise leave her alone and look elsewhere. It's called 'TRADITION' and you can't change tradition.


And to see my crush, priscaoge, just commented below me.

And do y'all knw mbaise woman are the most hard working Women in the world? My mum is a perfect example if i go into details you'lld be wowed , have'nt u been to a market in lagos and then, u hear people chant nwa yi mbaise,check out shes the most hard working in the market. Marrying a woman from mbaise is an investment y'all, watch ur family will never be broke neither separated. I am tempted to tell you how strong and ambitious how my mum and five sisters are but that oughta be on a Dm or a thread . Iyaff tired for too much talk from people hu lonn knw jack abt wat they saying even an aboki sef wee be telling mbaise do dis wan mbaise do dah wan. if i slap ur papa ehn

All this things na guide. No be say the quantity must equal what is on the list. E.g if 100 tubers of yam is on the list, you can buy 40 or 50, same with the other things.
E be like say none of una don dey where dem dey pay woman bride price. E be like inside market.

ebonflexy:


Okay but why all this?
What are they pricing? Is that not de-humanizing?
Later if they say they are selling their daughter, they will say another thing.

Igbo people never want to face the truth of their culture, as long as that culture means more money in their pocket.
I'm tired of infusing logic into igbo people about this subject.

Phi001:

Are you sure?
My father bought 200 tubers for my mum and my grandfather's elder brothers were complaining that the tubers weren't fat enough...
When my grandfather wanted to talk, they were like "Jonas shut up, you're still a small boy."
They counted two as one and told him to goan bring another 100 tubers.

Piercedclit:


My friend long time.
Are you getting married to an igbo lady

Fabulousb36:
Let me advice u on d best way to Go abt this.
First, d elders (umunna) and the women (umunwanyi) are ur worst enemies. They don't even like d fact dat u are getting married to dat girl Cox those they'd rather u come nd marry their own daughters. So don't even think of compromising their list esp if ur father in-law is Not one of them/ based in d village.
In order to avoid dem properly don't buy What they have written down just ask them d cash equivalent of their list dis gives u a negotiation edge. If u make d mistake of buying d things on d list and u forget a pin dey will Go as far as ruining ur wedding
Second, pay d dowry and do all negotiations a day b4 d wedding. this will help u save ur self d shame of being embarrassed b4 ur guest.
Third, the things of list for ur mother nd father in-law must Not b bought completely just buy d important one's.
finally, The umunna will treat u based on How u present urself. if u Go and start acting like a rich man dey will deal with u.
I am talking from experience

Lilimax:
Abeg, this list na die
This means that most of the girls from this town will turn to NNa-ga-anu if drastic steps are not taken to overturn this list!

It is written there doesn't make it non negotiable, if you get ur own children make it free and leave the mbaise people alone.....we are not complaining, marriage to our daughters is not for poverty stricken being so be wise

Now THIS is why I will never on my own volition go as far as marriage with an igbo lady.
Especially now...
Too many hungry igbo men trying to rebuild their funds and market stock on top your head post-recession.
Those girls are on their own!

To avoid wasting anyone's time, I don't even date them. When I ask a girl her name and she tells me Ngozi, Chichi, blah blah...to me it's an instant turn-off for anything relationship. Unless na only fawk I wan fawk.

For relationship leading to marriage, You can find beautiful girls everywhere else.
