Tradition is very important, it's ones pride, so let's keep it up BUT in a very GOOD WAY. the story goes, pride prices for daughters from sons, The problem is that, now isn't the same, some selfish old and greedy old men calling themselves "FATHER", abusing the joy and the future home of their so called "BE LOVING SONS AND DAUGHTERS" How can one good loving father or mother intend to turn rich over a night by selling out her daughter in the name of marrage? I will say, if two young people falls in-love, rich or poor, and they wish the blessing of GOD in their, give them a chance to do it in all harmony without a stress, don't in-debt them but rather help. Or i should rather say, Bleep the old idiot or the daughter of a foolish man before the foolishness in her vein over whelm you. In the other way, that's my opinion. Good luck |

@ ADAKU 123 Does he think she will eat the gold, ANyway gold is an investment and only appreciates with time [/b] i[b]s the man looking for investment ideas or a wife? he could have started a gold business if he thinks its the investment he desires, stop painting pictures for us, stop justifying why she should ask for the Gold? you want to use a gold investment as a prerequisite for marriage, Naija is such a wonder land lest i forget; what happened to making first in an Olympic competition other than coming to intimidate my man with ''u know who i be''? i bow for unaooo, like Ive said, u earn gifts it doesn't just come if you desire marriage, concentrate on that, other gifts will creep in if you score high, misplaced priorities, She could ave asked for a coffin abi no be investment, afterall it will cut down her burial expenditure by 10%.

A dowry (also known as trousseau or tocher) is the money, goods, or estate that a woman brings into her marriage. Compare bride price, which is paid to the bride's parents, and dower, which is property settled on the bride herself by the groom at the time of marriage. personaly i feel all three are antiquated |
