Bros, u have hit the nail on the head with that statement
You must now add my email addy to your YIM because we gats to yarn from now onwards. I don't accept anyhow so mention your name and i will add u.

Bros Mba 5ive gat to slow down for the levy, person wan marry u go see truck wey d pass like dangote wan go supply rice.
I go holla u anyway.

So what will you now say, of the Tarouk people in Plateau State? the guy has to build a house for the brides father. I know of a lady who got married in 2003 (Tarouk by tribe) her father tried to relive the burden from the young man and just her brideprice was a N100,000.00 Meanwhile all other things were yet to be done!!!!

BridePrice is tradition and should be done. But on the other hand, Parents should not use that as an avenue to expliot their future inlaws, they should be considerate, including our Umunna,UmuAda, village heads, Igwe, extended family etc!!!!

CHEERS. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS  

Uhmmm! A house ? just because you want to marry their daughter? Na wa, o!

withdraw wat?u igbos r thieves,bite me

iceblue:

pot calling the kettle black about brains!!  for someone who claims to have brains you're awfully small minded! The outrageous bride price is a TRADITION, one that wasn't rooted in thievery. In those days, a man was proud to pay it, because it showed his worthiness to marry their daughter. It has been abused, like unscrupulous elements in any other tribe would do had the tradition been theirs. Most of all, with enlightenment and changes in priorities, people are kicking against it.

That's a very insultive statement. If you have any decency you should take it back and apologise 

kill urself if u want to,but believe me apology is d last thingy on my mind now

accept the fact dat igbos r thieves or leave it

igwe 1:

You better recant that statement b/4 i take it up on you!!!!!!!
Is anything wrong with your brain.Were you forced and how could you say that?

take wat out on me? u r dreaming,infact wake up from that slumber

y'all(igbo in general and their cultures) are big thieves

we only take 23Naira bride price in my family. nothing more nothing less

@ whatever 90
we have a saying that one does not stand in the market and hold debate with a confirmed mad man. i have nothing further to say to you. it is obvious you're incapable of logical or objective discourse.

there are equally nasty things to be said about every tribe in this country, big or small. an educated mind knows better than to spout that kind of rubbish.

Dude, stop disgracing yourself, coming up in here and crying the igbos are thieves simply cos u cant afford a brideprice. That sweet soup was prepared by good money, you cannot expect everything to fall at your feet even if the world was a bed of roses, its as simple as that.

You know what they say about yoruba girls and dirtiness? Thats why we wont be thinking in that line

Leave our girls for us, we like them how they are, cheap or expensive, we know they're neat sha

u igbos tend to jump out of ur selves wen d truth is been said

take it or leave it,igbos are criminals interms of bride price and even other things sef

abuse is always inevitable if we dont know the use/importance of anything. nigerians generally dont like paying for anything.

the question is what is a good woman worth? can you really pay a family for their daughter? most family are only asking for acknowledgement for a job well done and that the lady you met where ever is someones child. is that too much to ask for?

Noted!!!

All these men feeling strong-armed because of Brideprice. . . I say from now on, parents just start holding auctions and give the girl to the higest bidder.

SOLD to the man who've never seen before in our life for $100000000000000000000

It keeps things fair, that's what I think.

More! More!. . . Please, don't let this topic die

Danke

I think you drank sometin strong, If Igbos are thieves as you wrote, is you dad and mum, u and ur husband, your kids, sisters and brothers among the thieves. If all mentioned are Igbos.
Pls let us know.

Funny.
Bride in Igbo land is not same all over or fixed abeg.
There are so many factors that determine the bride price;lets not just start yarning dust.Some of those factors are the educational qualification of the bride,the brides family background and the grooms background amongst others.
the summary of it all is that it depends largely on the girl/bride and the groom.If you decide that your hubby wont spend more than what is necessary,He won't,no kinsman can make him do but quite unfortunately,most gurls would want to show off,try to outdo someone else and make her wedding the talk of the town which unfortunately almost everything is coming from the grooms pockets.Then again,If a young guy is loaded,i mean loaded,you dont expect him not to show off in his trad wedding do you?Most of these loaded guys go out of their way to get things that are not even asked for and maybe some dickhead by the corner wud assume he was forced to do so.
In my town now,the bride price for every graduate is just N56 but the list is endless and frightening.what every reasonable girl does is to collect the list from her parents,sit down with the hubby and sort it out,trash out the unnecessary items and get the basic ones which are more often then not,affordable.
does it mean "okada riders","chemist men" and even "roadside tailors" in igbo land don't marry?
you hang your bag within your reach.simple

Abeg jare let us hear word. When will igboland get in line with the other lands. On the other thread you were talking naively about not understanding why the dead are buried in cemeteries. Now methinks you're just clueless and ethnocentric.
