What if it's part of their own culture? Who are you to determine what's right about another man's culture or tradition? How is it any of your business? Of what concern is it you especially as it doesn't even involve you?

Your post just showed how childish you are! Gush! Did u attend school? So, it is now a crime for me to express myself abi? Get sense!!! You talked about such practice being their culture...what do you mean? Why do some pay bride price if it is their culture? Think before you post, not posting before thinking.

I just wonder why most people from the southern parts of Nigeria, especially, among the Urhobos, Isokos and Ijaws engage in paper-bag marriage. For those wondering what paper-bag marriage means...it means co-habitation between a man and a woman; not legally married.

It is so annoying to see a man and a woman living together, with up to 4 kids! In the end, you will find out that the woman's dowry has not been paid! I once attended a marriage ceremony where I discovered that the couple's first issue was already graduating from the university!

Am not trying to paint any tribe bad, but it is very common among the above-mentioned ethnic groups. What am asking: is this part of the African culture? Why have these people so degraded themselves to this extent? The elders are there...they see how their culture is derailed, yet they do nothing about it. I still remember my former landlady, telling on a fateful day, that what am I waiting for? That I should just impregnate my girl and start a family! From that day, I started losing my respect for her!

In the eastern part of Nigeria, trash like this doesn't happen. Only a wayward Igbo girl would get pregnant for a man and start a family with him. In the Igbo culture, such is forbidden!!! Alu!!! Abomination.

Pls, what's your take on this?


So I guess "most of southern Nigeria" = some of Delta state

Rapmoney as all have said your investigation is totally wrong and full of bias . First of all you cant judge people by your own standards, different things are majorly important to different tribes. Ceremonies like burial , naming ceremonies , wedding are held in different level depending on the tribe. Even ceremonies as minor ( my opinion) as age grade things is considered important. Now let me enlighten you a little , in some parts of Delta to discourage the woman from infidelity and register there intention with the family, a bottle of drink is taken to the womans family deviod of ceremony until it can be afforded.
