Pls anyone from calabar that has an idea of the things 2 present during trad marriage for a calaba lady. Her parents dnt knw wasup cos they been abroad for 2 long. She nids d list urgently so her groom wud knw wat 2 present. Pls if u from dat area and av an idea, kindly post. Tanx.

You guys don't know anything.
How can you generalised all ladies from that axis as calabar girls or ladies.
Do you if what is being reqired from Cross River State (Calabar) is the same as that of Akwa Ibom State (uyo) as in the issue of traditional marriage?

what you decide for your daughters' head from Ondo state can never never be the same as that of Akwa Ibom OR Cross River(Calabar) as you've rightly put it.
Be specific, for you are getting it all wrong.

Am not from Calabar/Cross River axis so, cant really help you but, some responses and reactions to certain dilemmas can be overly ignorant sometimes sha! Silence, is sometimes better than basketmouthing, and those time when its so, it can be GOLDEN

Mine is 5 years. l can be of help if you will make me a consultant, abi. l am from oun State and people often asked me why that far? my answer to them is why not that far? The essence is happiness. l am also blessed with a wonderful and thoughtful mother-in-law. Like l said earlier, peace of mind happiness is the lmportant factor here and l have them with my mother-in-law. Less l forget l will be your consultant, Let me search my house for the list l was given before my wedding. or better still l can show you a video documentary we did on Efik tarditional marriage.

come to my room for a perfect list, lol

Where in Calabar is your spouse from?

Am a calabar girl, but the requirements for my place might differ from where the lady in question is from. So what part is she from?

The parents should call their relatives in the village or don't they have relatives anymore?

My dear you dont know what you are asking and you can not get such info in public area of this nature.Tell the parent to come home or send emmissaries to their village and consult with their ELDERS, SHIKENA

Anu Nkita (404) will do

#1m in an envelope, a letter bomb and AIDS vaccine. so simple

Pls i am in luv wit a calaba girl 4rm abia state.i want know more about their culture and their moral condut, onos

Hahahah this is very funny , what is the meaning of aboard , people that are even citizen even no how to speak their dilate and u talking abut list here , ahahha quiet funny cus am a calabar girl. Frm root and my anty makes the traditional hair for traditional marriage but so sorry cause I will not tell you , also go to your village

^^^ Idara is not an Efik name. It's AkwaIbom. So, what you may have to offer is an ibibio list.
As for the poster, I realize this is an old post, I do hope your bro is happily married now. The list actually must be given by the family, so it is necessary for one to go back to one's roots when it comes to traditional matters such as this. The whole extended family is usually involved and not just the girl's nuclear family.

Can any one tell me somethings I need to know about Abi, in cross river state, I am getting married soon and I want to know if the people Of Abi gets married to outsiders. Thank you

Interesting info
