Opinion: Why Women Should Stop Living With Men Who's Yet To Pay Their Dowry by gsogbu(m): 11:33am On Jun 08, 2017
Ladies, please do not spend your precious time living with a
man who hasn't paid your bride price. If he
says he loves you, tell him to go see ur parents
and do the needful no matter how small it is. This is coming from a guy who has seen a lot.
Living with a man for 20 years and even
above doesn't authenticate you to be his wife.
Not until he pays your bride price.
I'm saying this because of a sad event that
occurred in my neighbourhood this
morning. A pregnant woman who has been with a
man for over 17years with 4 was kicked out of the
home this morning. From what I gathered
and confirmed, the man secretly got married to
another woman last week and decided to
send his supposed pregnant wife away.The
worst of it is that the lady he got married to
is also a neighbour and a student who
graduated this year. This is a man who haven't paid a dime for the mother of his 4 kids. Imagine the pains this
woman must been going through cos of this
young lady. I have known them for few years but what i learnt was that this woman had been with the hubby even when he was jobless until he got a job, advanced to the university with money from the little biz his wife was doing. I am really pained, cos a lot of people have been bashing women who don't wanna stay with a broke guy. Now tell me why God will not
adhere to her cry! What we sow is what we
will reap!
Be warned.

LoL, the term "Lagos Marriage" here its called "Port Harcourt" marriage.
The negative effect is that many of them lose respect.

i will not totally agree that all men will do that; leave the women who suffered with them...
Some keep to their promises.

I understand, what I'm saying is that there are men who date a lady while being broke and will stand by such lady when he has money.

Not every situation ends like this as sad as it is . Infact I would support someone to live with the person atleast briefly before making the decision to marry them. You will get to know many things about them that you wouldn't know if you lived apart. This is ofcourse when you have both made the decision to get married . You will know for sure whether or not you really want to spend the rest of your life with this individual or you want to go separate ways without going through a stressful divorce.

I hate it when some people try to tribalize things. The term "Port harcourt marriage" is actually used when a lady marries a man she knows nothing of, not for two idiots cohabiting. Stop typing crap as if it's the norm here which isn't. I wonder the area in port harcourt you reside where most people cohabit.

I understand the point you are driving at. But the issue here is for more than a decade and close to two, the man did not care to pay bride price. Im a guy, but if i were a lady after two years u no shake body, then am off. Its better to save my face now than have four children for u yet u don't bother abt makin a move only to kick me out when u come in with another lady

I think you should check the meaning of words before you use them. Also try to read and comprehend before you comment.

I fully agree with you here , I also blame the lady for staying with him for so long if she was interested in an official marriage. She should have left him a longtime ago.

I just pity the kids, they came back from school and were told their dad has a new wife and their mom... Gone. The eldest has been crying since she came back. Refused to enter inside.

You can call me whatever you like, but i have vowed to speak the truth when I see one. Check my older threads. I respect women because i know someday i will have a daughter and I would want them to be treated the way i treat others. Read the story and tell me if what the man did was right.

My sincere apology if the way i responded was insulting.
But using Tribalize and crap i think is out of contest. Nobody said its the way rivers people lived neither did anyone mentioned any tribe. Lagos or PH is made up of several tribes and neither me nor the earlier poster said Yoruba, igbo, ikwerre ijaw or Ogoni.
Saying someone wrote crap, for Godsake we are discussing about someone's life here. I don't see how condemning cohabitting is a crap or encouraging men to pay dowry is a crap unless u have other explaination for the word crap (maybe crab).
Finally, my knowledge of the word ph or lag marriage over my 20 years of living in ph has meant the concept i used it. Im open to learning if it meant otherwise.
