That's why most Igbo women are still unmarried, they are all tied down with tradition. We dont have to empty our bank account because of marriage. We would still need money to live a happy life after marriage. No wonder Igbo men are trooping to other regions in the country to get a wife at a discount rate.

Igbos are expensive folks, The brides are worth it.
But please If you're an Mbaise lady reading this, Don't bask in the euphoria of your "expensiveness",Thereby rejecting all the "not-so-rich" hard working suitors that comes your way, you may get to 40 years and still not married.

Before we start shouting Igbo this and Igbo that, has anyone ever seen these exhaustive lists? If it is that exorbitant, how do the poor igbo men get married?

I think people should appreciate other people's culture instead of crriticizing it. Some people get flogged over a hundred strokes of the cane, just to prove that the groom is man enough.

If you love your woman, you will go to any length to get her. Nothing is handed out freely in life. We pay with our blood to go to school and to be successful, but we want to pick our life partners on the street. Women have worth. They are very worthy of anything we pay or do, to get them.

I know some people are greedy. That's life. But to say that your wife doesn't cost you much, you really need to check what you are getting.

My friend got married to a Yoruba girl last xmas. He wanted a simple and quiet ceremony but his in-laws insisted that it must be loud, as this is their first daughter. The good news is that the in-laws are loaded. So 75% of the cost was borne by them. Great.

Human beings like good things. Good things cost money. They don't come cheap. If you want a free wife, go for it. Wives get levels. Mine cost me cash and I didn't even blink. Honestly, I bought twice whatever they asked for. That's how much I love my wife and appreciate the great job her parents did.

The Nkpa People of Abia State
The Nkpa people of Abia state are found in Bende local government of Abia state. Marrying an Nkpa lady is truly expensive especially if you are not from Nkpa. The list for the traditional marriage rite is designed in such a way that it is cheaper for and Nkpa man that is getting married to an Nkpa lady; but if a man who is not from Nkpa is seeking for the hands of an Nkpa lady, he must be ready to organize a marriage ceremony that accommodates the entire community, and also must buy gifts not only for the parents of the bride, but also for all the kinsmen (Umu nna) and their daughters (Umu Ada). The truth is that by the time the groom is done fulfilling the list, he would have spent well over seven hundred thousand naira.
