Are you sensible at all? Is bride price approval? You no even know culture and you day defend culture way you no sabi? sense comes from knowledge and she get am but you dont. I no see where she kicked against marriage or approval of the parents. If parents no approve how bride price take come about? Say her husband pay her bride price no mean say she no get sense and she can open her doctorate mouth anytime she can cos' she earned it. How much you get, you way won pay bride price? u don fit buy slipper for your underage girlfriend before you begin open your stench mouth to insult person? You fit pay if dem give you list? many guys day house just day fork day preggo babes anyhow. no be say dem no wan marry na tradition hold dem. you no fit help the jiggas dem and you day hold on to your yeye culture. na only beggars go day give their fellow man list of consumables way dem go chop and sheet within 30 days. una day hungry? bride price money na wetin? una go day claim say una be christians and una hold tradition pass atheists. where your Jesus say make you collect bride price? show us for Bible. Bride price na nonsense. all you need is the blessing or consent of your parents. I been no want jsust talk since but your chupidness carry weight. jy2kbeyond: 2 Likes |

majekdom2:It's an individual thing. There are people who didn't pay any bride price but married under common law that maltreat their wife. If Adichie had any point,why did she allow her husband to pay her bride price? Even in court marriage,you're still expected to pay a token 1 Like |

this is not entertainment, neither is it role play. it's a right of passage and part of a given culture. being a fan or not doesn't count or matter. |

The issue of bride price is a cultural thing. There are societies and cultures that allows/ practice it (African Society) and there are cultures and societies that doesn't allow or permit it (Western Worlds). Coming down to those that allows it, there are cultures and societies that mandates only men to pay bride price (African Society) whereas there are cultures and societies that mandates only women to pay bride price (Indian Society). So you see, paying of bride price is a cultural thing. If your culture permits you as a man or woman to pay bride price, my friend do it, but if your culture doesn't permit you to pay it, good for you. The opinion of one person can't change the cultural practice of a society. Because you aren't a fan of it, doesn't mean, they aren't people who aren't fans of it. If she isn't a fan of bride price, (well that's her opinion), she should deal with it because Cultures and traditions won't change because of her. I that isn't a fan of homosexualism and that always kicks against it, has that made it to be abolished? Of course not, likewise she not being a fan of bride price payment doesn't mean bride price should be abolished, It is a practice of the African culture and society. Let her deal with it. I'm a fan of Chimamanda Adichie but sometimes she dey fvck up sha. #Xavier. 2 Likes 1 Share |

amaniro: The opinion of one person doesn't warrant the change of cultures and customs of a society okay. If you are so interested in aborting customs, why don't you start from homosexuality to pedophilism to pornography to abortion to nudity and immorality to human sacrifice to jungle justice to corruption and oppression etc The customs that we should abolish, we aren't abolishing it, rather it is the ones that doesn't need to be abolished, that's the one that needs to be abolished. Misplaced priorities everywhere. #Xavier. 1 Like 1 Share

I'm against it too Chimamanda. We should stop selling women. It's one reason why many African men think they own their wives and can treat them any how they like. After all it's their money. |

DanXplore: THIS NONSENSE HAS BEEN TRENDING FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW.. CHRISTIANS CLAIMING THAT CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION IN ORDER TO SOUND BETTER FASHIONED THAN ISLAM, JUDAISM, AND OTHER RELIGIONS. HOPEFULLANDLORD, THE MORE WE TRY TO POINT OUT TO THESE PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE BEING FOOLED, THE MORE THEY WILLINGLY WANT TO DIVE DEEPER INTO THE POOL OF FOOLISHNESS.

I’m not a fan either It’s men’s way of exerting ownership over women. They are the ones keeping the tradition alive even though they pretend they don’t like it in order to blame women and make women feel guilty 2 Likes 1 Share |
