Les: Where are the ancestors? Yeah, they're dead. What did they know about Quantum Computing? What did they know about Astro Physics? What do they know about the curiosity mars rover? Yes, I am wiser than them. If you refuse to move forward with the world, stay in 13th century, but don't drag everyone down with you. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Ms Adichie, you don't have to be against some thing that places value on you Bride price is just to appreciate the parents for nurturing your wife to be, to womanhood No intending suitors can ever pay the exact amount used or spent in grooming a girl child Your father collect 10kobo as your bride price That's his choice and it still fall into the bride price no matter how small the amount is. 4 Likes |

Mrs Adichie, I think one might as well get rid of the whole marriage institution altogether according to you, what is the whole point ? because lower animals don't have to publicly declare their affection towards each other before they pro create. Chimamanda, I can even go further, do you really need to love a woman to pro create ? No. In the western world highly ambitious women sometimes only look for a sperm donor to have babies. So where do we draw the line ? Bride price is part of our culture and it is here to stay. The payment of bride price is not a claim to ownership of the other person, it is symbolic in nature. A man that is asked to pay a heavy bride price does so voluntarily. The union between a man and a woman in holy matrimony is voluntary. If a woman or a man feels the marriage is not working out he or she is free to leave. MARRIAGE IS NOT A FORCED UNION SO ALSO IS BRIDE PRICE PAYMENT IS NOT FORCED ON THE MAN. 2 Likes |

Les: Who the pyramid epp? What has it contributed to our growth as humans? In fact, what is it contributing towards the fields of technology and medicine today? In fact sef, did the ancestors that saw it fit to start some primitive traditions even know anything about the pyramids? If you like, don't forego that village mentality. 1 Like |
