@theshield, stop arguing, nothing good can come out of fighting with pigs in the mud, ehhh?? Come and take an honoured sit beside me and drink chilled Orijin.

Meanwhile, are you single? I showed your responses to some Ogbomudein families (the best of the best y'know ) and they said to tell you pretty, well-educated girls (whose fathers and uncles are in CBN) await a good man like yourself (who knows where he comes from).

Not those ones that came to Lagos and started naming their children "Nkechi" or "Amaka" because they didn't come from strong families and wanted to bury their past, now they are attempting to force igbo on everyone

And to my others, I salute you "Degwo" oooo

tonychristopher:


It has been abolished but wait bro ...do they have that in isele ukwu

theshield:


God punish ur mouth. R u going to force igbo on us?........... The fight to defeat Biafra was staged in these strategic region. OUR ANCESTORS REJECTED IGBO WHY ON EARTH SHALL WE ACCEPT THEM?
They should carry their cross and fight for Biafra alone.

After all, Calarba have language similarity with Ghana. eg with the names like essien, etim, inyang etc.

theshield:

iidiot. for now nothing like obi of Agbor; is "Dein of Agbor".........AND THE WORD "DEIN" IS NEVER IGBO.

babygirlfl:
First of all if your going to be marrying one of us, you have to know how to address us. We are not delta Igbo, ( I have no problem whatsoever with Igbo people. Just love to be called with what we really are) we are Deltans or Anioma or if you want to be specific you say Ukwani, Aniocha or Ika.

To your question, generally it's not expensive unless of course the family is a greedy one. In my place the bride price is returned and the traditional marriage is hosted by the brides family with or without the support of the grooms family while the groom's family sponsors the church/court or whatever marriage they choose to do.

Onegai:
From places like Agbor and Owa and that side, you get a list and at most N15, 000 for bride price. They don't ask you to buy a house or bicycle or stuff. But have Palm wine, alligator pepper, local kolanut and Abada (george) and a complete outfit for the woman's box. Also small money (no more than N1000 or N2000) for things like schooling, Labour pains, her age group etc.

And yes you can do the traditional in Lagos. No-one is forcing you to travel to village.

nwaezeubom:



Yes, it subtly exist, however, there are ignorant fools around that would mouth that nonsense. The ignoble and inhuman treatment meted on, some one because he/she is different, educated, rich and all worth not should be abandoned and total destroyed and done away with in every culture. That rhetoric should not come out of anybody's mandible any longer. We need to stop it collectively. In terms of bride price, My father in-law took 400 naira from me, that amount has repaid itself since my wife contribute in many ways than one to me and my children. She is not a slave, she is just my equal. Now I have two daughters of my own, USA citizens that I would Prefer to come home one day to find suitors; no amount of money can pay for them. so therefore, come to them if they like u, bring your mom, dad and your family to meet my family let us chat. I at least want my first daughter to find someone from issele-ukwu, but if not Nigeria.

.....yes oh....u funny oh, u can do ur traditional marriage anywhere...I talk out of experience.....

obiak4:

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT FROM?
HAVE YOU STARTED SMOKING THAT WEED AGAIN PRINCESS

nwaezeubom:


Obviously, you and I are not on the same horizon, we are igbos, go ahead go back to bini. You should vacate that land that u inhabited because now you are a stranger in igboland. I am not going to condescend or be conceited to your diatribes toward me as to do the same, It is clear that I made my intellectual points of which many in our area agreed to. Stop the diatribe go and trace your DNA, and perhaps we chat bini man. I am a proud igboman and I am glad that u are a biniman. U could not muster an argument to support your claim but to use the god of Israel instead of using the gods of bini people, seriously, you have got to have low self esteem little boy. Force Igbo on u like u are somebody.

What title did the previous kings of Agbor go with in the past before it was changed to dein by the current king of Agbor and what was the reaction of the elders of the Agbor kingdom on the change of the title?

DelticStephEn:

Bini man,pls who is "We"?

theshield:


u igbos r already claiming Lagos so im not suprise. Im telling you the history of Agbor, u r here claiming nonsense right. Agbor kingdom originated from old Benin kingdom.
I REPEAT, ALL CHIEFTAIN TITLE IN AGBOR KINGDOM IS AS SAME AS BENIN. I CAN MENTION AT LEAST 20 TITLES OF AGBOR KINGDOM THAT HAVE SAME NAME AND MEANING WITH BENIN KINGDOM.

ANY NEW DEIN OF AGBOR MUST VISIT BENIN KINGDOM FOR RECOGNITION BEFORE AND AFTER CORONATION.
IN THE OLDEN DAYS, ANYBODY THAT KILL LION (EWORO) MUST GO TO DELIVER THE LION TO THE OBA OF BENIN AND TAKE HIS TRADITIONAL TITLE.
FINALLY, AGBOR CHIEFS AND KING DONT DRESS LIKE IGBOS BUT DRESS AS BENIN..... DRESSING IS NO.1 INDICATOR OF CULTURE.

tonychristopher:


Don't be incorrigible biko igbuzor is the correct term just like asaba but the right is ahaba...enugu wrong enugwu right

Igbuzor short form of igbobinuzor

theshield:


IS CALLED DEIN RIGHT FROM TIME. PEOPLE LIKE U CALL IT ANYTHING THEY WISH COS OF IGNORANCE.
AGBOR CHIEFS AND KING DONT DRESS LIKE IGBOS BUT DRESS AS BENIN..... DRESSING IS NO.1 INDICATOR OF CULTURE.
AGBOR CHIEFS CUT THEIR HAIR STYLE(HALF SHAVED) AS BENIN DO.

theshield:


no agbor call himself igbo...im sure u r from owa...go and trace ur identity.

LagosDecides15:


With everyone denying y1bo, I can say it sucks to be y1bo.

DelticStephEn:

no agbor call himself igbo??
& here I am repeating it over. & over again that am Igbo.
like I said,U must be a bini man from Ozarra...
pls always draw the line & always differentiate Ika people from Ozarra people,Because we are DEFINITLY NOT THE SAME.
STOP generalizing Ozarra as ika.
thanks.
