or cheat on you...
the ones they marry for thirty naira are the ones that cheat. Those ones with five children from 3 different men. Igbo marriages are the most stable in the entire South.

A woman who cheats on her husband in parts of Igbo land will either die or run mad. Dem no dey train ashi

nobody is selling anybody. Do you know how many cows you buy if you want to marry an Hausa girl? When you go to marry an Edo girl, you drop money to enter her father's compound, drop to enter the house, drop to see the chic.... spend at least 30k to see one girl wey you Don see finish. In Cross River, women go into a fattening room before marriage where they are fed till they gain weight, is it every man that wants a fat woman? Abi did he not know of her size before asking her hand in marriage? These are people's cultures, you may not understand it, but you shouldn't ridicule it either.

While a white man will try to understand a culture, the black man just ridicules it. This a bad attitude.

good forbid rather use that money in something productive than to spend it uselessly on one simple organic substance.

It's just like you are paying for her which you can't compare to prostitution.

That's why many women will become slave to their husband because we bought them with some amount of money


Oga.... If you look at the list you see that there other things like the money for the cook, decorations and so on ....

As far as my personal opinion is concern...marry her if you have the money


Besides in Igbo land its not a must that you provide all that once .... You can do the important ones and complete them over the years as you live with the girl though this depends on the relationship between you and your in-laws.


My brother god forbid you are saying is that you have not yet want to marry or you don't have money to marry ..... Do you think is easy to find the right woman when the time comes ......

As for me .... I can pay that money 1000x to have wife over and over again cos she worth it

How much is my House?

Total material asset value nko? angry


Then because you brought 1 million Naira to spend on marriage festivities, you think you have earned the right to get an invoice or bill of sale?

If I were to sell them as slaves, I wouldn't accept 20 million Naira for them. So stop feeling like you are entitled because you sent some lousy sum on a Traditional wedding ceremony.

This poor in spirit mentality is not something to be proud of.

If the girl is worth it, I will drop a stack on it. Jacob for bible do house boy for 14 years to pay for ehn wife bride price. 500k and you dey make noise. angry

This is not to bash any tribe because apart from Africans there are many cultures outside Africa that engages in brideprice, all I said is I am not on any side, now there's a difference between bride price and bills to handle during the wedding. and yes someone is being sold, Bride Price is cash given to the family for the bride, that's a transaction but i can agree with you that it doesn't determine the value of the wife, as it's just a price agreed upon by the family. But anything that has an exchange in return for money my idea has been sold.

That's just the literal way to see it , and I do not have anything against the igbo culture or any culture in Africa which is why my stance started with I am not on any side about the bride price. I only replied to correct a wrong analogy.

cheating is normal in Yoruba land, not in Igbo land. Anybody disputing this fact is in denial

If you try it in Igbo land, not only will you get chased out, you won't marry any Igbo man and if you have daughters, they might find it difficult to marry.


There is a reason why divorce rates are the least in the Eastern part of Nigeria
