Lets not kid around with every thing.

How much do you want to spend for marriage 2k naira?

People are really unbelievable.....

Assuming you want to marry...so you don't have to eat that day or drink.... Food and drink will obviously cost at least 200k considering the cost of things in Nigeria now

So people will sit on the floor not seat?

People will be under the sun ... No canopies ?

You will not buy your wife to be a good cloth and good shoes to wear that day?

Because you want it cheap ...you should also tell your own family to come by legs ... No transportation?

Or maybe that day on the traditional wedding you will not serve kola ?

Or maybe you will not provide the traditional right cos you want cheap article bah?

But you will spend such in your oyibo adopted white wedding?

Lets be realistic here.... There is no way a traditional wedding will not cost 500k at least.

If you think its too much for you then go find another girl from a cheap tribe but after everything you will still spend at least 300 to 400k

Because you think its costly will not change people tradition ok.

Am more concern about white wedding that oyibo brought for us.... .

Most people shouting its costly and all that are young boys who are not off age to marry or who are greedy that wants cheap things or people with no job.

When you are ready to marry... You should know

your opinion is highly noted sir....

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.

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amounts, people will immediately tag you poor as if your financial situation should necessarily determine how you view outdated cultural practises.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".

The stand on barbaric practice of selling fellow human being for money all in the name of f**king tradition. That is total bullsh*t! It is time to stop all the traditions in that hell hole! It is getting on my nerves! This is really pissing me off! Ptui! Smelling humans!







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!!!

This is disgusting and shameful in the 21st century. The disturbing thing is that people are proud to support it. What the hell is wrong with many Nigerians? Huh!

Feminists would be very useful in fighting this f**king tradition!

I didn't men they don't cheat, I already replied the other confused fellow that what I meant is that cheating is not rampant in Igbo land compared to others

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...

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.

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.

I expect people who have gone through the process of marriage to come and talk if they ever regret spending the money

Bro..a decent hall alone can 700-1.5mill (budget 500k)
Drinks...700k
Food...400k
Clothing and other logistics 600k...


2mil no reach self

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

what do you mean by poverty? Are you saying that he should steal to marry? In this 21st century families charge high bride price to give their daughters out and you except their son in-law s to be happy? Do you think after the marriage that there might be any closeness between the groom and his inlaws after coughing that huge amount? Are you aware such amount contribute indirectly to domestic violence in Nigeria

That's why I said, poverty. Uon have money. Stay the Bleep away from marriage hommie.

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.
