Instead of bloggers to use this one, they just wanted to pool traffic. Poo country.

My own is that the husband should quit abusing our Igbo traditional isi agu attire. He is not Igbo.

Yesterday, there were reports about a visibly “unhappy” bride who wasn’t smiling on the day of her traditional wedding.

The bride identified as Duchess Alexis, has reacted to the reports , and said whatever went down at her wedding is simply tradition.

She noted that in her tradition, which is “Ijaw”, the bride is meant to “Frown” after been ushered in by her friends and sisters, and then the groom and his friends/family are expected to spray her until she laughs.

Here’s what she wrote;

Yeah fvcking right... Tradition my black arse.. The sight of the groom and your loved ones aren't enough to make you laugh but I guess taking money you never worked for bring smiles.

The actual story behind that action is simple.

1. It is expected that the Bride is still a virgin and does not understand what the marriage thing is all about . Therefore she is not expected to show in the presence of the family that she is happy to leave her family to leave with a man.

These are normal expectations with our everyday life but modernity has changed most of it.

It's common among the ijaws I've experienced a similar situation at a neighbor's wedding. .The Bride frowned so well and long that the groom had to give his friends including my elder brother money
to join him spray.

Yes, it is our tradition. The bride is supposed to act unhappy that she is leaving her family and the husband and his people will have to show her that they can take care of her just like her own family did by spray her money.

My own case I simply told my wife to "laugh or u hungry for house o", she started laughing.

Some family members are using it to make money from the husband..

A friend told me what he experienced at a wedding like that, the husband got frustrated after spraying all the money he had the bride refused to smile so he just left.

You talk as if know other people's tradition. Everything she said is exactly the way it is. I've attended one like that and it was done exactly this way. The bride is expected to frown and until she smiles.. they'll keep spraying her.
