Thank u kachisbarbie. Dis is brideprice o. Ah ah now ladies. Let's stop emmasculating our men. If u must support him, support his goals. Not his very life. Except there are no goals to support. Then we got a problem.

elantraceey:
I think he should use what he has to pay the bride price and then she can cover the rest expenses.

Now of all the things that would make a man less a man, this is going to be the number one of all of them..

BokoHaramm:
That will be Supernatural love from the woman and the man will be Supernatural MUMU. For christ sake we are still Africans

This is africa n africans we r...she will definitely sing ΐτ̅ like a song later in life one way or d oda...Blieve me....

How about as a woman, you talk to your parents n tell them not to sell you? If the bride price is outrageous, the man might just see you as an item he purchased.

If your parents want all the money they spent on school fees, tell em you'll get it 4 em. Lol.

This bride price thingy should be scrapped btw.

Ask FG to subsidise the wedding #Cheers

Thinkr:
all those men wey dey beat them wife for house who pay bride price? Be talking trash ehn

...

Thers nothing morally wrong bout it, but it sud strictly be btw d wife nd hoggy to be.

D husband sud den be man/senseble enof to settly his bills during nd afte d honeymoon both in kind nd financial terms

If what he has can cover the list, let him do it . By that you can support in other areas or they prune down some other areas.

mutter:
A good idea however the problem is it could lead to insult.

Woman - you are not even a man I am the one that married you.

Man- you were so desperate you even paid me to marry you.

If this happens after den both we'r nt ment fr each oda in d 1st instance

ferdimako:

But they want to marry

the woman go suffer.nor be now person dey do mumu

angelTI:
NO!

Brideprice of all things?

Habaaaaaaaaa. NO

Loosen up, don't be too african

Only if she is desperate

Some Parents should stop showing their poor financial status and greed fueled by cultural practices and mentality all in the name of marriage rites. Besides, they are not selling out their beloved daughter who will in turn be a source of blessing to them. Personally, I would not marry a girl from a family that prayed and fasted to God for a son-in-law who will bail them out financially. I've seen some parent who buy their daughter a car/house as a marriage gift. They are out to encourage the union by every means possible within their capacity and not to weigh the young man down. GIRLS SHOULD HELP SENSITIZE THEIR PARENT for it's not easy to get a partner who is compatible.

No she should not. She can help with other thing but, the bride price is soley the man's duty.

i think this bride price of a thing should be scrapped. it's archaic.

@op r u a staff of tvc?

I think it is not legally right but morally somehow. But as far as am concern, i will not creat a room for my future wife to help during the marital rites to avoid insults afterwards!

Weti we no go see for naija. Una still carry na locality come enter Internet. Who dey talk of marriage nowadays. See give her Belle, everything go reduce. Women plenty for this word jorr. Why you go pay so much money for one woman were you go soon tire for her when she don drop 2-3 pinkin. Abeg make una no too dey value women like dollars abeg

I don't buy that idea, rather, think she could help talk to her family to be moderate, considering the finacial capability of the man, I'm sure they would understand and make some adjustments; most families do. Good-luck!

jomile:
Only if she is desperate

can u be desperate for a guy?

unibenstudent1:
can u be desperate for a guy?

u again

How nobody is asking why the Bleep the guy has to pay so exorbitantly? If I buy a car then I buy a car, I am not a in the business of buying women.

jomile:

No don't do it,is wrong culturally and psychologically

I'm not sure where to post this. Mods help me out please

I am about to married. The marriage requirements or 'lists' have been given to my husband to-be. Of course, he must have prepared for this. But the list is somewhat exorbitant and paying all these things will mean a less posh wedding........

My question: Should I who's financially stable assist him to-be with money for payment of the bride price or completion of the rites??

Is it advisable??

This is same question that was asked as "hot topic"on a programme at tvc....as for me I think the lady can help the man,a mature woman and woman will not talk about it when they get married because they know that the essence of marriage is more important than the bride price...

Sis. that is the first important responsibility for a Man. why get married when you are not yet able to pay the Bride price or probably the bride doing that for you? There will be this confidence of "Yeah, she is my wife now" when he does that, even if it involves having to to odd jobs just to get the money. Trust me, he will be proud of it later in the future if he could try and raise it on his own.
