Modern slavery in the name of marriage
how is it slavery?

You don't just throw words around because you feel like.

I'm neither in support of high traditional marriage cost nor against it.

The girl is educated and probably a graduate that's why the price is high. Go for the local Village girls if you are not ready to spend.

This is nonsense, always say what you sure irrespective of her Academic background it's all about culture and tradition, So nothing like educated or not.

The list was highly inflated.

Nowadays people pay dowry, traditional and wedding on the same day.

Have you attended bayelsa or marriage in rivers state?
One drum of kaikai will buy all those things and you have to provide like 3 drums if you are a not from their place
3 drums of kai kai? grin

Alagba,if you sister bring Igbo's guy that she really love you means you will separate them or discourage your sister not to marry him

Yorubas generally don't have issues with ethnicity. One of my sisters is married to a non-Yoruba but the impression I am trying to correct here is that any Igbo man who is avoiding a hefty bride price can use a Yoruba woman as a rebound... It doesn't work that way.

The Yoruba women I know have taste, forget about illiterates and poverty stricken people (who are in every tribe anyways)...

What about FFK's last wife?

Babangida's wife was Igbo too

The wife of the current Ondo state Governor is Igbo


That they marry themselves doesn't mean that they don't marry outside, infact Igbos marry mostly from Ekiti.

And they are comfortable with it..it doesn't matter.. Do you know in congo DR .. Their bride price is in USD$... Some part will ask for 4000$ while some will asked more than that..after handing the 4k to her parents you will go on and buy things like suit,shoe,belt and television from 32inchs up ward... The television must be original if not they will reject it..u will also but clothes for d mother and still prepare food and drinks for the occasion just to get a wife...

Yep, we bought 3 drums. Don't know what they did with it. I suspected they sold them. Excluding other things. Extremely expensive and we didn't know if they cheated us or it was just their tradition. The babe didn't help matters.

An Igbo Nigerian wedding expenses list, was posted online on Twitter. It was trailed with different comments from different people. While some saw it as an appropriate list, others saw it as unnecessarily expensive.

What are your opinions Nairalanders?

i think someone (most likely you) sat at home, typed this list, went to business centre to print it, came here to upload it claiming it was on twitter all in an attempt to get some attention

My wife is from Anambra. This was the list her village people gave to me. I felt insulted by the scanty list. To shock you, my father-in-law insisted I do much less.

I dey feel the Insult on your behalf sir . grin
It's truly scanty thou I'm from Okija in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State our list no scanty as this sha but it's below 500k infact 150k to 350k you are good to go.

P.s
Mostly Anambra State don't take too much, just try Imo State and get back to us here in Nairaland.

Yes you are right, Yoruba and Igbos do inter marry alot but not because of Bride price of a thing.
I mean if an Igbo person meets a Yoruba lady while they were in school and they hit it off, before you know it, they will become family of 5 tongue

This is extortion oh, but las las na their culture. But this is discouraging. I would not want to pay such amount as a condition to marry. People say she must be educated bla bla, but I'm sure her parents trained her out of love and responsibility not to recoup such monies later.

Seun, I would really like to know the mod who pushed this to the front page and for what reason.

A very close look at the image shows the contents are clearly intended to malign the Igbo, give people reason to cast aspersions on our culture and traditions!!!

Otherwise, how or where on earth would you have a "marriage list" from an Igbo family without KOLA-NUT (ọji Igbo)
They fabricator even went as far as including "pigs", just legodu ��

In this era where people create all sorts of things to to generate social media frenzy and drive blog traffic, I feel your mods should be better educated or try to have clear insights so that they don't end up playing into people's hands.

This topic needs to be removed in its entirety, thank you.

It means you can afford to take care of the children efficiently when she starts to drop. You don't want to be in the situation where be relying on the children to beg or hawk to feed the family. Marriage is for convenient choice, it's not a compulsory.
