They actually check the worth of the suitor to bill him. And note that most girl don't get married in this zone because of the economic situation of Nigeria, You see some big aunties that were already in Secondary School when we were small, today guy man don marry, they are yet to, moving from one prayer house to the other. Some of the girls, help to save money to assist the would be husband in settling some bills.

preselect:


the bad side of this is that many igbo girls remain unmarried well into their late 30s. . . . . . you know the rest

Fallacy!!!

I dont know the tribe you are from but if I may ask, is marriage guaranteed for all the women in your tribe?
There is hardly a marriage that fails to materialise today because the Husband cannot perform Traditional Wedding.
it is nt compulsory to perform traditional wedding ceremony. You may choose to pay the dowry and go on with your white wedding.

You also fail to realise that Ibo culture varies from tribe to tribe. Some pays dowry below #1000. Some have restrictions on the number of guests (from both parties). Some limits the food to be cooked and the drinks to be consumed _ allin a bid to cut cost.
There are over 5000 igbo communities with different cultures, so you may need to be specific when you say "Igbos" cos the culture varies

D more reason u see 80year old men still nursing children in primary and secondary school! Only in igbo land! Yorubas are too wise! Dem go even return ur bride price

And you think that the reason why the 80 years old man married late is because of bride price? Your reasoning is really poor!
There are many reason for that brother. i will tell you if you ask. Moreover, Yorubas dont marry. They co-habit.

I have lived in Asipa (Osun) and Ibadan, I am sure you know what I am talking about. Only few Lagos Yorubas marry. Others mainly impragnate a girl and take her in- without any marriage whatsoever. Worst still, the men hardly cater for the wife (particularly in Ibadan)

For an Ibo man, it is their duty to take care of their wife (The degree of the woman doesnt matter). So when an ibo man tarries to marry, it is not becouse of bride price but because he is not ready for marriage responsibilities which only few "wise yorubas" takes up after marriage.

No wonder whenever they are caught at the airport for drug trafficking, their biggest reason is "because I am due to my wedding very soon and I need funds" .hmm mm mm....

Did you ask them what they mean by wedding? whether Traditional or White?
If you want to invite Saide Osupa, Flavour, Davido etc to your wedding and does anything illegal to get the money, do you blame the Culture or yourself?

Be more reasonable brother.

Marrying a wife from igbo land is generally expensive. As for the ngwa people, they used to eat ppl before(cannibalism), so since they were forced to stop eating ppl they started eating money, hence the demand for a huge sum of money for marriage.

that cant be true. Lets compare your tribe to mine and see.

Anambra State, Nnewi for sure bride price is no big deal.
My father told the story at my introduction on how back in the day you just had to buy a motorcycle for the bride so she can visit her family.
Nnewi men(Umudim especially) like my father, will even sponsor the wedding and give you money to start life.
If you come up and marry Nnewi woman you dey hammer! Life will always change for the better. cool

the more reason young and agile men are rendered fatherless, no 1 to continuously pay their tuition and they end up spare parts sellers and fill the whole of Lagos doing all sorts of menial and criminal jobs. Guy face d fact, na high bride price or gross irresponsibility de make una men no de quick de marry! Yorubas are obviously wiser, that is d reason u'll see some1 as young as I am getting happilly married at such a young age and taking responsibility! Dis is abnormal across d niger!

Most tribes in nigeria dont marry, all they do is cohabiting.... out of their gross ignorant, they come out and say marriage is expensive in other tribes.
they are many tribes in nigeria that their marriage right is hardly ever exusted, most of them just co habit, to them marriage is cheap in their place.
yet igbos contract and have stable and responsible marriages more than most other tribes in nigeria.

As in you get am.......

I hope they have consideration for some people who haven't arrive sha (money never plenty)

All these tins depend on ur wife, am from Anambra and I know my sis had to tell dad that his husband no to get money, d guy no spend reach 50k for everything self.
So if u form say money dey, na to spend am naw,
If ur wife no fit defend u, den she follow cause am.
Most times wen one gets to a poor family, dats d shit dey encounter. In my place, d only part d man spends is wen he wishes ti celebrate with a million ppl which is his business, d babe family cooks and serves her visitors, d male do same. So d male family supports if dey see d female's is not financially strong. As for my family, na we celebrate am not d guy, in as much as that's whom she loves, we let go after investigations.

female children are like investments to them.
No wonder my mbaise neighbour frowns each time his wife delivers a male child.

If you want to marry from mbaise and you are a poor man, just impregnate her first. Her bride price will fall by 60%


Well, I don't blame them. Their girls are very beautiful and intelligent.
