The Kind Of List We Give Men, Women Are Meant To Be Rolling During Wedding- Lady by AcuraZDX: 5:23pm On Aug 25, 2018
A Nigerian lady simply identified as @fetonghan on twitter, has got herself trending on the platform over her controversial post.



According to the lady, women from Imo, Cross river and Akwa Ibom state are supposed to be rolling on the floor during their traditional marriage because of the heart stopping bride price marriage list their prospective in-laws paid.

She wrote;
“Btw, if you are Imo, Kalabari, Cross river, Akwa Ibom please sit this argument out. With the list we give men, we should lie down and roll, not just kneel.”



Bride price is a sum of money or quantity of goods given to a bride’s family by that of the groom in some tribal societies.


Before now, a Nigerian woman based in Toronto has told of how she challenged cultural norms by choosing not to kneel down for her husband during her traditional marriage, and that Nigerian men are mad about it. The gorgeous Yoruba bride said she and her husband spoke …

SOMEONE SAID THAT TRADITIONAL WEDDING IS SEXISM, DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MEN, AND I AGREE.

MEN ARE MADE TO PAY HUGE SUMS JUST TO MARRY ANOTHER HUMAN (A LIABILITY THAT COMES WITH TOO MUCH RESPONSIBILITES IN MANY CASES).
WOMEN ON THE OTHER HAND, ARE BEING SOLD LIKE SALLAH RAMS IN THE MARKET.
THIS IS SLAVERY IN DISGUISE.

PATRIARCHY WILL NOT DIE UNTIL MEN STOP GETTING MILKED DRY IN THE NAME OF TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE. undecided

their tradition is quit different from ours. Maybe you are not Igbo cos you will not understand. In Igbo land its not just the parents of the girl that owns her. Hence everyone must partake in her marriage rites

YESTERDAY AN IGBO MAN NEXT TO MY TABLE BRAGGED HOW HE SHUTS DOWN HIS WIFE BY SHOWING HER "THE LIST" AND ALL HIS EXPENSES DURING THE TRAD. ACCORDING TO HIM ITEMS ON THE LIST ALONE WORTH MOST 2.5M.. NOT TO TALK OF OTHER MERRIMENTS. SO SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO ANY OPINIONS IN THE MARRIAGE BECAUSE HE HAS PAID FOR HER, AND SHE'S "PROPERTY", JUST AS YOU MENTIONED ABOVE.
PEOPLE ACTUALLY "OWN" OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR TRIBE AND YOU WANT TO CARRY ON WITH THAT SORT OF SLAVERY, JUST LIKE THE JEWS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
WHY NOT OPEN YOUR MIND AND YOUR HEAD, AND ALLOW SOMETHING NEW ENTER FOR ONCE? undecided


chiommy123:
and what good did you do to us by settling the umunnas items on the list? Am sure you are not Igbo. That list most times is for the umunna not even the girls family alone

A FEW MONTHS INTO THE MARRIAGE AND YOU'LL HAVE THOSE IGBO HUSBANDS REGRETTING AND LAMENTING, THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT MORE GOODS WITH ALL THAT WASTED MONEY INSTEAD. SO WHAT'S THE POINT? undecided

THE SAME "UMUNNA" AND VILLAGERS YOU FEED AND CLOTHE ARE STILL THE ONES THAT WILL GO AND PLANT CHARMS FOR YOU TO DIE SO THAT THEY'LL INHERIT YOUR PROPERTIES.
AGAIN, WHAT'S THE THE POINT? undecided

The good that we made your umu-nna richer just to go back home with you is enough good. And also, your father, mother and every member of your family get to enjoy the benefit of getting you married to a man who is able to pay that humongous amount as your bride price.

Women are just lucky.

Thank God for allowing me see 'the light'.

So this is how I would have suffered if I didn't break up with my Cross River flame? grin angry

But...

Why do we even have to do this in the first place? Why do we even have to have 'a list', whether small or big? This practice, in my opinion, is outdated and should be done away with.

Which name? The lady can keep her name. Things like name don't even bother me. Who name EPP?

Are the kids not going to be bearing the man's name?
