Make dm no reduce o, make d mumu girls dey theor papa house dey carry belle

Lool best comment so far. I won't blame the trolls yapping bout igbo girls not being cheap, why a brother must empty his bank acct just to get married to dem girls and all that blablabla, cos afterall this is a faceless forum where any ant can claim to be King of the Jungle. My prob is with the ladies. You see them tanda dey keep mumb on such a serious issue like this; years down the ladder, they'll be the same ones to cry blue murder here on NL, heaping all the blame of their ''unmarriageable'' palaver on their poor papas and mamas.

Wetin this man due talk?

I always say this to people who care to know it is only in IMO state that marriage stuff is a bit expensive.

I come from Ngwo in Enugu state and we take just one note from whatever amount a "To-be" in laws bring n give the rest back...I.e if u bring one bundle of 100 naira note (10k), we will take 1 note and return 9,900 to him there n then...

Marriage in Igbo land differs from one community to another...

Many other places are even cheaper than my town.

In fact I will open a comprehensive thread to discuss this

No No No! Igbo parents should not reduce bride price. Instead they should increase the bride price 500%. Igbo girls are the queens of Nigerian girls so their bride price should be extremely high!

Sincerely, igbo bride price is not cost compared to Rivers State.
My dear, by God's grace my to be as I was told by a friend from her place to keep #700,000 at least if they want to have mercy on me and another friend from the ethnic group confirm it.
They are the Ikwerre and they marry so much Igbo girls that they are cheap and with morales.
Ikwerre, Ogoni, the worst is Kalabari and it is a death sentence via bride price.

Isn't it the reason why some people would go out of their way to make money. It's a welcome development. The disadvantages of high bride price out ways any advantage. Infact the only advantage is for the lady's family. The lady will bear the disadvantages alone. No human being should be bought. High bride price is likened to selling your voice. Everything should be done in moderation.

But nawa in this man o! Wetin him dey talk sef?

Igbo bride price is generally not much except for a few towns here and there. Does this man live on jupiter or what, cos what he is saying totally negates what I'm seeing on ground.

Even if the bride price high, no wahala. Our girls are worth it.

That was the first thing the community government inaugurated by Rochas delibrated upon: high dowry. Igbos will say tradition, but how come modern items that were not existing in pre-colonial times becomes a prerequisite for marrying an igbo girl? You have a high percentage of igbo girls close to menopause still single everywhere.

Proud to be Igbo man(Imo State) the asertion about our pride price is 2rU but we still have cheap ladies. It depends on the class you want.

You said Igbo man and money? You are right but the truth remains.

Igbo ladies are the best in the world.
