I just baffles me how some people came here to lie about other culture is annoying funny thing is most people saying one thing or the other have never been there to witness it themselves y lie to make fun of another culture. I even saw a post here someone mention Abia hmmm pls gather ur facts right before making any claim at least am from Abia and I can safely say that our bride price is cheap |

safarigirl: I had to login just to respond to this. Not trying to provoke you but it's either you are ignorant or chose to be ignorant on a lot of things. Ibo women don't cheat please... And all those stuff about going crazy is trash. The rate at which Ibo women cheat is extremely on the high side. They are only smarter at covering up. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I'm an asset and my wife is not my property but God's. If I give her family 500000, it's out of love. If culture demands dowry, I'll pay no more than 10K out of respect for culture. No one is making me pay 500000 naira because they know I can pay it. Even my wife to be will tell her parents not to try that. Good women are assets....so are good men. 1 Like |

lefulefu:nobody sells their child. If there is any tribe that takes pride in female kids in Nigeria and even Africa, it's the Igbos. The most educated women are Igbo. The Igbo man trains his daughter to be an asset and not a liability to her husband, he will send his daughter to school till PHD sef and send his son to learn trade after his Secondary school. To accuse them of selling these same daughters that they cherish is an insult. If you don't have 500k to pay for a well trained girl, then another man who knows her value will have it and pay without announcing to the world how much he paid like all these kids on NL. The OP is very immature, is he the one getting married or did his friend ask for his help? Thousands of Igbo girls marry every year and their husbands don't go announcing how much he paid, many men have paid 2 million sef and this guy is coming here to announce 500k as if the girl's family won't be the one to organize the traditional marriage and foot all bills. 3 Likes |

safarigirl: The fact that you are trying to rationalize it already means there's something not right about the practice. Culture is made for man not man for culture. Some of our cultural practises need reviewing in the face of modern realities. The issue of outrageous amounts of money to get married (bride price) is something that needs to be phased out . Methinks a legislation is needed to compel families to lower their demands from their would-be son-in-law. No amount of money or materials can be equated with a human life. If you ask me to bring N3m to marry your daughter, does that mean that is how much she is worth to you? If she's truly valuable to you then her worth should be priceless. #my2kobo |

dazzlingd: 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 2 Likes |

Timsilver:if you meant to say Igbo women cheat, then know that you logged in for no reason because common comprehension requires you to realise that I meant it's not rampant. And my follow up said that 'in some parts' of Igbo land, I did not say everywhere. The fact that you jump to quote without comprehending is bad.

Timsilver: It is not trash my dear. She said some parts and I can confidently mention like 2 parts of Igbo land where it is still obtainable. The only thing is that there are clauses attached to the issue. In some parts, it is if you cheat and step foot in your village again. In some, you've to have taken part in a certain tradition before it can affect you...but if you do take part in that tradition, you in-laws will have 100% trust on you. So you see...it really depends on the particular village |

shogz89:The North has the highest rate of divorce in Nigeria, followed by the west before the East, even my Northern lecturer said this. Why don't you all go ask Easterners how they manage to sustain their marriages rather than mock the pre-marriage process. What happens before the marriage means little compared to what happens during the marriage 3 Likes |
