Odenigbo Aroli: I wasn't saying Europeans introduced it, I was saying it may be one of those things that spread accompanying the other practices that become widespread like wearing okpu agu, or eating rice everyday. The first parts of marriage are general enough to be widespread in Igboland, the issue I have is believing the I gba nkwu wine ceremony was widespread or the same throughout Igboland. I could be wrong, but I believe different Igbo groups had their own variations of the marriage ceremony, just like the difference in their coming-of-age institutions and rituals. It's just my opinion through observing how different many of the practices among the Igbo were (or are, which is kind of fading), the igba nkwu ceremony is too specific to be followed by everyone. In fact, I've never seen anything mentioning igba nkwu in literature in the early 20th century. |

ezeagu:it was fully in vogue then but was not known as igba nkwu. It was ime ego nwanyi or ikwu ugwo isi nwanyi. I believe the name evolved to igba nkwu because of the reservations we now have regarding paying "dowry" et all. Ime ego or ikwu ugwo isi dika a na-ere nwanyi hence the name change. |

@Ezeagu, in addition to what Ify has said above, the histories of our people before this century were just political histories. Historians were only interested in writing about kings and leaders and neglected the social and cultural aspects of our beautiful ways of life. |

Thanks for the info. I was thinking more about the passing around the wine and main wedding, instead of the bride price and negotiations because there are other Igbo groups who do not pass wine around as a wedding. Some don't have weddings at all, just marriage. Andre Uweh: @Ezeagu, in addition to what Ify has said above, the histories of our people before this century were just political histories. Historians were only interested in writing about kings and leaders and neglected the social and cultural aspects of our beautiful ways of life. Earlier histories were focused on kings because there was hardly any penetration of hinterland. In the late 19 century and early 20th century there are authors such as G.T. Basden and even G.I. Jones who hardly ever talk about 'kings' at all. 1 Like 1 Share |

I'm sure that most Igbo sub groups have their own special traditions regarding the marriage ceremony. For example, in Arochukwu, we have our own marriage ceremony which we call "ipa nmai". |

odumchi: I'm sure that most Igbo sub groups have their own special traditions regarding the marriage ceremony. For example, in Arochukwu, we have our own marriage ceremony which we call "ipa nmai". Ipa nmai and Igba nkwu also mean the same thing it just dialectical differences. My point is that the term "Igba nkwu" wasnt coined during post colonial time. |

[quote author=ChinenyeN] But Ezeagu's point (which I believe you misunderstood) was that Igba Nkwu being widespread seems post colonial (and I agree)[/quote I get your point,mr; Igbankwu was an Anambra thing,initialy but their influences has made most Igbos to adopt the term due to its popularity but these ppl still perform their rites according to their traditions...Nothing spoil,unless if you are having sleepless night over it ! |
