do you share traditions with them? If you want to be like them, tell your government to approve gay marriage too.

If you are too broke to pay bride price, then stay single. To marry no be by force, why all this moaning from kids? Na today dem begin dey pay bride price? People have been doing this for eons, they are still doing it.

Yet, we have some broke,.stingy people yarning dust about traditions from the OLD testament as if they keep to half the things there.

Abeg make una no marry, marriage is not for everyone. If you can't afford bride price, then you can't afford to feed a family and should remain unmarried till you can before you kill someone's child with poverty and frustration

innervoice:


First of all, have a daughter, raise her and then see how many suitors she will have. I have seen families begging men to take their daughters for free. Sad enough! Secondly, why do you think you have to gain anything materialistic from having children?

Adamsdelrio:
Whaooooo! Thank God my prospective inlaws are Christians. I'm gonna present these facts to them so that I can marry their daughter for free...

shadowgwalker:
OP u dey waste yya time norni! All these talk nah fr another man tradition, the Jews to be prescise. Its not even for Christians cos I no see any new testament quotes.

No girl is free, pay for head before u take her home. Either u marry from PH(their roten girls) with high bride price or u marry from Kano(the home-trained and disciplined girls) which have cheaper bride price ,for a bettr future

Seventeen:
my friend we're just trying to be funny/silly ... U cant possibly believe dat we actually think he wrote dat cos he has no money to pay bride price... We are not stupiid plz.
Meanwhile........
Intelligent writer my foot.... dats a lot of jargon he wrote there.

9jatatafo:


Why vent your anger on me? I just asked a question and the essence of asking a question is to get answer. I am baffled by your thought. What has gay marriage got to do with the question I raised? In my question, I never said we should stop bride price. Over syllabus dey do you ooo!!! People like you, will write a script full in an exam writing out of point.

See your sister,

Small time her parents will request crazy b price and give long list.smh

safarigirl:
it is people who train their kids to believe that marriage is the be all Ndd end all of every woman that go about beghing people to marry their daughters. For what? Can you gain eternal life with marriage? Immortality is gotten by your works on earth, not by the husband or kids you left behind.

Better to be single and happy than married and depressed. If you force marriage, you will end up unhappy or dead so I will never understand why anyone rates marriage as an achievement.

If I do have a daughter, best believe I won't be training her to be suitor-searching, i'll raise her to seek knowledge and happiness. If a suitor comes along, fine.....and when I said I stand more to gain from a single daughter, it's you who assumed I meant that in a materialistic way, so your mindset is programmed that way.

Anyone who is anti-bride price should either stay single or go to Ghana where the women marry the men

sonofananimal1:

U r lucky I dislike like typing or we would go into along argument
Pls don't get married remain single .
And u know wat I mean by maturity and from d way u sound u r not matured enough

BEFORE I USE TO HAVE THIS MINDSET (MARRIAGE IS FOR MATURE MIND)
IF MARRIAGE IS FOR MATURE MIND (SO YOU isSAID) WHY IS THE SAME MATURE MIND HAVING A DIVORCE EVERYWHERE? WHY IS THE SAME MATURE MIND MALTREATING THE MATURE MINDED WIFE? WHY IS THE SAME MATURE MIND GOING OUTSIDE CHEATING ON THE MATURE MINDED WIFE/HUSBAND?

PLS DO MEDITATE ON THIS QUESTION AND ASK YOURSELF WHO THE THE MATURED MIND?

SO THAT'S MEAN THAT JESUS IS NOT A MATURE MINDED PERSON.



PAUL WHO SAID IT IS BETTER TO STAY SINGLE THAN TO MARRY, IS NOT A MATURED MINDED PERSON.



WE HUMAN LOVE TO DECEIVE OUR SELF.

YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THAT MINDSET OF YOURS. ( IT WILL AFFECT YOU IN SOME CERTAIN STAGE OF LIFE)

Captainswag225:
lol safarigal can u tell the tribe and region in ghana where women marry men? This is so funny.

RoyalPearl:
lol Don't mind her. That's how she is. The name Ghana gives her an orgasm. If you had to go through her posts you will understand what I mean. Osha She Owo

Captainswag225:
hahahahaha wob3 ku me oo, i know her, its even better nowadays. At first wherever ghana was mentioned she was there.

Toks2008:


I honestly dont get your standview.

You are either a christian,muslim or pagan hence the need to adhere to the doctrines of your religion.

oh so its now that you agree that its tradition but probably would have concluded before now that its biblical.

Anyway my point is clear,i was not trying to say we should marry a lady for free and a paragraph in the write up made this clear.

My aim is to point out the fact as you also agreed that its man made tradition.

RoyalPearl:
Why do you always have to bring Ghana into every little thing. FYI there is no such thing as women marrying men. The only place that happens is in India. Get your facts right before you start spreading sh1t

Toks2008:


We are on the same page and that is exctly what the write up is all about.

I never wrote that traditions should not be followed but just as you wrote,people should stop using the bible as an excuse for their greedy bride price collection.

By all standard we should obey God not man but as i wrote....lets just flow with traditions.

wrongnumber:


Walahi i tire for all the wailers here taking an intelligent write up out of context.

Even the Op never wrote that we should stop paying bride price but just laid some facts straight.

Toks2008:


No woman should be married for free but the groom should bring what he and his family dim fit for the lady so don't get it twisted.

Dubem13:
mumu,you like free things

sonofananimal1:
DID YOU JUST COMMENT WITHOUT READING


LEARN TO THINK IN BETWEEN THE LINE

halfrica:


i love looking for trouble nah Na just to pull ur k legs ni o happy sunday sha

Adamsdelrio:
Whaooooo! Thank God my prospective inlaws are Christians. I'm gonna present these facts to them so that I can marry their daughter for free...

sonofananimal1:


YOU NEVER SEE WHEN TROUBLE JAM TROUBLE,
SAME TO YOU PLUS HAPPY NEW MONTH

Seventeen:
haba... No body is wailing naa... Its not possible for everyone to percieve d same thing in the same way. Imagine how boring this thread would have been if every one dat commented simply wrote... "op u are very right' haba dat would have been super borin naa, even op would be disappointed trust me. And guess what, me nd U wouldn't have quoted each other .... A Nairaland without 'the agrees' and 'the agrees not' will be disaster. Nairaland will begin to loose members... Abeg we dont want that ooo, so let d arguments continue.
