The Reasons Why Igbo Marriage Is Expensive And Secret Way Out by buchibrand(m): 2:42pm On Dec 13, 2017 |
IGBO MARRIAGE IS FAR MORE CHEAPER THAN WHAT YOU THINK AND WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING. *Getting married to an Igbo lady is very cheap if you know the secret. NOTE: Igbo communities have different categories of list. If you want to marry an igbo lady and you don't have much to spend, please: * Go to her place with her, sit down with her parents and explain yourself to them. Tell them you would have loved to do a lavish party and make them proud, but can't afford it at the moment; then promise to make it up to them when you are fully settled. Assure them you love their daughter so much, you will love her forever, and you will take good care of her and the family at large. * "Brain wash" your bride to be into convincing her parents/ family that you are the very best for her and she can't do without you. * Please before you leave that village, make a friend, preferably a poor, popular and truth-saying old man (just buy him snuff (N200 IS ENOUGH) he will guide you into all truth and help on the day you will be facing the Umunna). * And on the day of the traditional rites, do not fail to go with an outspoken, fearless and vibrant elder from your own side (with such a fellow and the elder you have "bribed" earlier, you will not have to say a word till everything is concluded). If you follow all these steps faithfully, you will know that there are different lists for different category of people (this is why those earring hawking guys get married without much stress). Over blotted list for big boys and slim list for average people, NO long list for poor dudes they just provide the basic things and walk away with their bride. BASIC REQUIREMENTS TO GET MARRIED IN IGBO LAND. 1. The first stanza of the list (palm wine, snuff, ..., less than #10,000) 2. The bride price (less than #1000 Naira). Every other thing on that list is jara and you can do without it, but your father and mother in- law MAY not get share when other people children get married. If you are a poor dude, you will just pay the basics and walk away with your bride but your wife's parents will pray for you and beg you also to come back and wipe away the shame, when God blesses you. But that does not mean you are not fully married. WHY IS MARRIAGE SEEMINGLY EXPENSIVE IN IGBOLAND? 1. Show of wealth(show them that you have made the money). 2. I want to belong (i must do my own like Mr A) 3. What will people say ("they will now say my own daughter got married to a poor man who could'nt afford all the items on the ambiguous list". 4. Personal ego ("i want my in-law to come with a jeep, my daughter must marry a rich obodo oyibo husband". 6. Feeding of the nation (lavish traditional wedding ceremony) WAY OUT: opt out of traditional wedding ceremony, just provide them with the basic requirements and walk away with your wife after taking the accompanying blessings (the best and most easiest way of doing it now is to do everything in cash, give them the money equivalent of all the basic requirements and that's all). Some guys went into 419, made huge money and came back home to marry; so it was that when they were asked for just one item, they will double it 10x. Then the second sets of people that caused the inflation of the lists, where the obodo oyibo (over sea) guys, they came and threw money at umunna in away that no one has ever done. Now no family will want there's to be anything different, and that is the genesis of the whole problem. The article is too long so I had to shorten it, but you can read the full article and with share the secret with others http://www.successbookz.biz/2017/12/how-to-marry-igbo-lady-and-pay-less.html 1 Like 1 Share |

I wonder why you need to feed a whole community for the sake of getting married, what's the gain? |

buchibrand:. Igbo Marriage is expensive so that jobless incapable people like you won't spread their lazy seed through our daughters. Since you're ignorant, every community has 1 list for bride price and it's not negotiable. More importantly nobody will give you their daughter for nothing because you want to throw a party that's not even a part of the culture. This is how you'll use your penniless dick to go to someone's home and embarrass yourself. As a groom you're not even allowed to discuss bride price with her village elders lol. Obviously your 16 years old and pointless |
