**osisi: These processes can be by-passed. All a man needs to do is to impregnate the so-called Oraifite and the rest is HISTORY. The umuanas and the umadas would be the ones begging me to take their daughter. |
Re: Do you want a wife from Oraifite ? by AloyEmeka9: 7:14pm On Apr 02, 2009 |
You are too clever!. impregnate an igbo man's daughter and watch him melt like butter on his knees begging you to marry her. Your wish shall be his command and no more gra gra for you, I tell you. |

presido1: Says who?? The shame will force her parents hands and they will remove 75% of that long list. Who wants to keep a pregnant daughter at home for others to gawk about?? Igbo parents will go along with it as long as the groom is not Hausa.

the matter doesnt concern outsiders like you. But I am an insider. My very Yoruba female goat was impregnated by my neighbour's Igbo goat so I have become bonafide! |
Re: Do you want a wife from Oraifite ? by Sauron1: 10:16pm On Apr 03, 2009 |

Yes Oraifite is a village in Anambra state |
Re: Do you want a wife from Oraifite ? by grafikdon: 4:48am On Aug 05, 2009 |
Oraifite is a town. That list seems long but it is pretty slim when you look at the monetary value. It is not like some places (Names withheld) where the groom is required to provide a flying elephant, one eyed tortoise and a pregnant chicken. . . |
Re: Do you want a wife from Oraifite ? by youngies(m): 1:28pm On Aug 05, 2009 |
In summary, from the 1st visit to the last itme on this list may not cost more than N200,000 (conservatively) 12 gallons Palm wine 30 gallons Raffia palm wine 7 Cartons of beer 12 crates of soft drink 16 pieces of kola nut 4 bottles of gin/hot drink N95.00 cash 3 native goats (Ewu Igbo) 2 hens for a 2 children 10 big yams 10 big coco yams 1 bunch of plaintains 1 bunch of bananas Food for about 100 people (taken care mostly by the brides family) |
