obum88:It is tradition, a part of a culture and it is not a good one. I think the reason it is still alive in Igbo land is because of the profit the girls' family is making from it. It is the same thing that makes the South not to give up the slave trade until the North takes it to the battlefield with it . We need to take this to the law and stop this primitive act. Jeez! It is very annoying to say the least. 1 Like |

all4naija: Thank you. Funny part is, when you raise an eyebrow over these ridiculous amounts, people will immediately tag you poor as if your financial situation should necessarily determine how you view outdated cultural practises. We abuse whites for slavery all day when we are inadvertently doing the same thing in the guise of "tradition". 1 Like |

all4naija: Bros relax I like people having fact before making any assertion like i said in my earlier post most persons come hear to post trash just to make fun of a particular tribe or tradition try to be a witness to these things and see how it been done before saying anything and believing everything you read on naira land see my dads younger sister got married last year when it was time to pay the bride price my dad told his potential in laws to bring anything they brought a 1000# my dad took 50# and returned 950# to them am talking about Ohafia in Abia state but when people came here to generalize it igbo this or that is what I find annoying so brother stop the abusive words you can make ur point without using abusive words. My point is.................... Igbos don't sell their daughters at least my dad did not sell his younger sister's daughters. Peace!!! |

safarigirl: I advice you speak for yourself. And for me i dont mind spending 1m on the list alone provided the girl is a virgin....the origin of bride price is hinged on chastity of the bride but these days,the greedy elders in the eastern part foolishly use this as a means of extorting men who still see their daughters worthy even when these same girls have been terribly scrwed by Emeka,paul,dare,their boss,their... iranu abacha Dont het me wrong,a guy can spend millions to marry any lady he loves even if she was a LovePeddler but no man must be compeled to pay crazy money to marry. |

obum88: Bros, if you know anything about culture then you'll know culture is dynamic and not static. This, in essence, means that culture allows for some practices to be dropped if it is deemed retrogressive or outdated. Remember that at a time in this country, the killing of twins was cultural, same for making someone an outcast because they are 'osu'. |

Make sure you ask for a signed receipt. If there is a defect in the "product", store policy is that you are only entitled to a refund if you can present your receipt. |

BCISLTD: Hall? Do the reception in a primary school field...less expensive. Drinks? 700k? Who I wan impress? The whole village abi state? Most of these things can be cut down and done with less than that amount. It won't mean one is poor, or a miser, or not appreciative.... A decent wedding ceremony should cost less than 2 mil |

Demigods:Marriage is about responsibility and it is inclusive of both genders. This idiotic claim of telling somebody to stay away of marriage because he is not ready to spend huge money in buying his wife from the girl family blackmailers is very annoying and primitive to me. You aren't civilized though. |

Could this be one of the reasons Igbo young men are running around the world peddling drugs to make money to buy wives? |
