Anaedo,it varies from town to town...lol. By the way I am getting married in November and my woman is frm Umuoji but the total expences ranging from "Iku aka",Ibu ego" and "Igba nkwu" isn't even up to 200,000 naira. Sometimes,the family that you are marrying from will determine how much you spend. 2 Likes |

Very Interesting. I am an Oyinbo who hopes to soon marry an Etsako girl from Fugar. She has an elder brother and uncle plus an older and younger sister. Her parents are (sadly) late. I would be really grateful for advice on Bride Price and Marriage Lists and all of that. Please help me out someone. Thanks in Advance. |

Yea but recently I met a woman with such list,given to her by her inlaws to give her daughter's suitor. The woman is from Enugu married to an Abia man and according to her,her inlaws are doing that to maltreat her because her husband is late. Imagine adding a dead man to the list and building of house for the bride's mum Imo own no get boundary,that is why their girls marry anyhow(any man who can provide all in that suicidal list even thou na fulani cattle rearer and they will tell you we are not tribalistic maka na ala wu otu.. one nigeria...if I hear) manny4life: |
