I can't just fathom how stupid those people can be.

Their tea their drink anyway.

Nne you are pretty.

azimo:
You expecting our girls to be cheap before? Go to Igbo land we are training our daughters in school. If you dont have money for Igbo girls biko hide ur face or look elsewhere

y3mi:
Outrageous but I'm in support.

Marriage isn't for dudes as the op has said, marriages are for men. Capable men.

I've no issue providing those items and even more provided the money is available and the love is there.

The big issue is after everything she doesn't turn out to be of another character/personality completely different from the courtship period.

However parents should ensure their daughters are raised well and very much up to standard (culturally and behaviour-ally)

Nb.
This may be far from the prenups agreement some wealthy westerner do but in a way quite similar as it ensures a lot of things that's destroying the marriage institutions.

If every tribes in Nigeria are doing this, there would be respect for married women folk as if will greatly put an halt to all those out of wedlock marriages were the lady is abused and or periodically subjected to maltreatment as the hubby believes afterall her bride price isn't paid for.

Notice how many married igbo women in are taken care of, I'm not saying all of them, I believe most. Even if the husband get indulge in extra-marital affairs, he never downgrades or subject his wife to unfairness. By the way I'm a big hater of extramarital activities.

AkpaMgbor:

The only observant and logical comment so far...an Igbo man who has come of age or is married will know this particular list the Op posted is as false as Buhari's waec results...since when woman begin collect bride price??

I actually have a problem with these marital situation that is imposed on most guys because they found love somewhere in the eastern part of the country.

There are some frivolous items that can be seen in these lists that is so totally unnecessary. why put a guy through so much pain and spending because he chooses to get married to a lady that befits his style?

Most dudes finds it hard to gain financial balance after footing marital bills. Certain traditions and cultures have to be reviewed, They are scaring guys away! Men are been pressured to hustle hard so they can grow some guts to fund these outrageous demands, which is alarming.

That could be a crucial reason many of our young men stay single and then grow old and still cant gather enough money to marry the love of their lives.

Ferdinandu:

Which kind nonsense test. The money used to buy all those rubbish, if you invest it wisely in 10 to 15yrs time the family from that marriage will never be poor for life. So tell me how will the man take care of their daughter if they rob him of all his life savings in the name of marriage list.
This useless Igbo long marriage list has outlived it's usefulness and should be done away with completely. That list is just used to send their so called beloved daughter and the husband back to square one in poverty

modestbrowser:
Igbo race only accept rich people for marriage.

Poor men like you have no business with Igbo ladies.

Settle with you Hausa, Fulani and peperrish South West Muslims

KingWarri:


Quite there! E get one place where poor man no dey?

Naim make una girls turn baby Mamas.....smh

2buffagain:

Amongst themselves they can be poor. But if someone from a different tribe tries it, he must pay.

2buffagain:


Guy you jus dey type beans.
WTF is an out-of-wedlock marriage?
What does this ensure "like a prenup"?

Paying all this on a wife means she is now property and that will cause MORE maltreatment, not less.
Whoever still wants to beat and cheat on their wife will do so, whether or not they paid all these things.
Whoever still wants to poison and cheat on their husband will do so, whether or not they were bought like cow.

And then what happens when that family moves to the west, a place where given the laws, it is the women that are supposed to even be paying for marriage list?

Call a spade a spade and say it for what it is.
This part of igbo culture (among other parts) is bullshit and does not line up with the times.
It is a scam by hungry wretched creatures.

Nickymezor:
