I said the same thing sometime ago and people called for my hand(they can't have my head) . Nigeria women that ask for equality in marriage after her family collected thousands from her husband in the name of marriage/bride price are deceiving themselves.


Let's analyze marriage in Nigerian way.





Step 1. You asked for a girl's hand in marriage and she accepts.

Step 1. You do introduction.

Step 3. You fix date for the traditional marriage and her people bill you heavily.

Step 4. If if you bring the items in the list and they're satisfied with what you brought and the bride price or selling price, you can sugar coat it bride price to make them feel better.

Step 5. They will hand their Daughter over to you and she changes her name immediately. That's change of ownership for you.

If the above scenario doesn't appear to you as pure business arrangement and transaction then I don't know what will.



You own what you pay for. Even a kid knows that

Well thought out, well written.

i agree with dat

you got it all wrong with all you human calculation...

you cannot change what GOD...the creator has ordained....they are simply one....JESUS is LORD!

This is the only thing left to add value to the devalued end time girls in marriage pls don't take this from them.

See as women dey attack her because of her statement. Even jumoke, a cohost was vehemently opposing her. We still love you ewa-bella. Keep it up

i keep saying it,most of our youths, especially the ones on social media have lost it....the rate of understanding is close to zero.thwy allow bloggers to deceive the with false headlines.

the tvc woman was clearly protesting and criticising against our cultural practice but bloggers with their out-of-context headlines decided to twist it.....I doubt if lindaikeji moderators understood what you meant with the statement b4 jumping into conclusion


many bloggers got low IQ

Sadly, that's the way it's going to be

Until women stand up against this evil practice called bride price, men will continue to see them as their property and treat them as such

Women own which men?

In Imo State, Rochas has passed a law that prohibits bride price from exceeding 10k. I'm sure they would give you invoice and receipt sef.

You're an unenlightened noise machine.

In India, women pay dowry to men.
I'm sure dumb feminists in India are wishing for what you want to throw away foolishly.

When you buy land, you get c of o.
When you buy car, you get change of ownership.
When you buy a wife, you get marriage certificate.
If women don't like it, they should stop collecting bride price, dowry and stop presenting marriage lists to men.

Useless women that can't fight boko haram would be making noise online. They should be equal with men by going to fight boko rams.

ednut1:

She wants a stop to collection of bride price and give her an example of an alternative universe which she can consider.

Ugly Woman.... I don't like her one bit...

Her husband will soon start to show her attitude and she won't know is from her stupid and childish comments.

She has a happy home instead of protecting it she spews trash on her instagram page every second.....

Goat!!!

Once you are married your husband owns you and your respect for him will make him adore you and love you even more.

Wise Women accept it and use as a tool to keep their homes.

I have deleted the Ugly beast from my instagram page.

� Women better don't be deceived by somebody who will not practice what she preaches in her own home. Let her father the liver, effontry and temerity to try it with her husband and she'll be back in her father's house.

Africans have a far lower rate of divorce from the West cos of this singular virtue.


Mugu Woman..

Read about her once on www.dnbstories.com

stane007:
TVC Presenter Tope Mark-Odigie, has given clarity on her controversial statement that men own women.

Tope in a post she shared on her social media handle this evening, said she does not in anyway support this idea where women are objectified and handed over as some property to men as our culture dictates. She says she hopes that the comments will help bring to the fore the need for this cultural mindset to be expunged.

Read post below;

“I have seen multiple tweets, comments, prayers and curses.

Let me set the records straight.

My comments on the show depict the reality of our society, which I don’t agree with, but is our TRUTH.
It is our CULTURE, we don’t need to like it, but we must not play ostriches.

We must face it head on and address it.

As long we celebrate the buying of women (in the name of TRADITIONAL WEDDING) our men will feel entitled to do whatever pleases them with their possessions.

We must change this negative culture that has perpetually “OBJECTIFIED” women.

Culture has evolved over many generations.
We have continually expunged parts that do not serve us – like the killing of twins and albinos.

It is time to expunge seeing women as Properties .
It is time to expunge buying and selling of women.
It’s time to expunge all violence against women.”

Are you done talking? I am your father, now you're 35 years of age, the western culture that you're making us to recognize also stipulates that, if a child is 18+ yrs of age he/she shall become independent and most not continue living with parents.

In this regard, please kindly pack your loads and leave my house before I open my eyes. Stupid girl.

Gabrie300:
Fucking Feminist You all shall die

fact

I own my wife and all she owns. Period. If not, the long list that was given to me wouldn't have been given.


She moves into my house,changes her name and serves me.

You can't have two captains in a ship.


She does my bidding because I am the head of the home.


I shower her with love while she submits.

Ishilove:
This lady does say a lot of shiit

Can't believe this is coming from a fellow lady.. did you comprehend the post at all??

In economics, a commodity is defined as anything that can be purchased with money . Since men pay before marrying women in Nigeria, you can't say that men don't own you.

The moment a man pay your bride price irrespective of the price you are his property.

Re-read her post and think carefully.
In essence what she's trying to say is that until this practice is stopped men won't stop thinking they own their women or entitled to their wives bodies.

I watched the programme today and Tope was kind of realistic.
I support Nyma and Jumoke's view on the issue discussed today.
And as Tope said if you cannot go with the rules don't do traditional wedding so that I won't hear those stupid rules she listed which some Nigerians believe especially once the traditional is done they believe another human is their property.That is why I would rather have a registry marriage only no time for elaborate or big things and spending unnecessary money(in my opinion) on wedding and have my honeymoon in Madagascar or Mauritius,family's opinion is secondary I done dey tell them small small for house.

dominique:

Truer words have never been spoken.

The fact that some ladies are even insulting her shows that most Nigerian ladies are the problem.

If they don't stand up to fight this evil act, it won't stop.

But what is Tope Mark-Odigie? Or you mean Tope Odigie?

she is correct women need to stand up for their right as human not to be proud to be bought as a good product, i will buy my woman before it's stop so that i will have authority over her,she must be my property no law can deny that.

yes we own women,not only that, we guide and mould them to our taste and our choice of how she should live her entire life, to our own satisfaction. Without man a woman is worthless just like green grasses on the field,you see nature and not men made it so..

I love social media because it reveals the ignorance of people.

Well, the issue with your idea is that a lot of Nigerian pastors will say your marriage isn’t recognized by God if you don’t go through the traditional rites.
