Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by davidchidi: 6:11pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
i think it is good because the man may not be financially okay to bear the whole expenses. |

I don't think is wise for a woman to pay her bride price thats a man's responsibility. If a woman tries that the man will not value the woman, if he doesnt hv he should try to pay that even if is to borrow, is paid once not twice, This is Naija but in preparation the woman can come in. |

Some families that demand the equivalent of a state budget for brideprice nko? So the groom should save for 30yrs to pay by that time the bride would be menopausal |

no it is mad disrespectful for u to even suggest that!! take that away from ur hed!! if u canno0t afford the bride price just get married in the nearest registry with a 'small' amt of family members u dont need to do the full trad until u can afford it |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by omega25red(m): 9:22pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
how much or what is considered a bride price today anyway. for someone who got married recently what did you have to pay? was it money food cloths how much did you spend in total |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by ayettymama(f): 9:26pm On Mar 26, 2010 |

So we're still buying wives like they're properties? No wonder they're treated this way. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by H2O2: 9:28pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
Good to see there's still a large amount of women waiting HAPPILY and EXCITEDLY to be bought. |

H2O2: Of course. With a Mastercard or a Visa card, you can get whatever you want. Short, tall, fat, slim. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Diva20(f): 9:43pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
What's the purpose of the bride price again? |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by chic2pimp(m): 9:45pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
In this day and age peeps still see women as commodity *Shakes His Head* |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Sauron1: 9:46pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
Diva 2.0: Paying to change a woman's last name. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by ayettymama(f): 9:48pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
^^ its not commodity its tradition certain things are done when certain things are done u give gifts to people to show u appreciate them dont u?? |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Diva20(f): 9:53pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
ayettymama: You give gifts freely not because it's customary. ~Sauron~: lol I'm serious. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by chic2pimp(m): 9:54pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
ayettymama: That's what we keep saying. 'Tradition, Tradition, Tradition' Most times it has less to do with tradition and more to do with the greediness of Inlaws. Some peeps 'Bride Price' list are just Insane |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Diva20(f): 9:56pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
chic2pimp: Exactly! I mean killing twins was once tradition too and that didn't make it right. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by chic2pimp(m): 10:01pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
Diva 2.0:Me sef tire oooo I think using the term 'Tradition' is just a facade. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Sauron1: 10:03pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
Diva 2.0: It's a way of showing the groom values the bride. They will set a certain price, make him prostrate(Yoruba Tradition) and go through a lot of "military drill" before handing the bride over to him. I dunno how that is expected to stop the divorce rate/infidelity in marriage but they believe in it anywayz. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Diva20(f): 10:06pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
~Sauron~: ROFL!!! You know what, I kinda like that lol. Can you make him sleep in the bushes or something? |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by bawomolo(m): 10:07pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
why not just avoid the whole bride price? u give gifts to people to show u appreciate them dont u?? would a one dollar hallmark card be considered a gift? cheap and still fulfilling tradition |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by H2O2: 10:07pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
Lol. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Sauron1: 10:11pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
Diva 2.0: No sleeping in the bush. But frog jumps, marching and running on the spot are all standard practises. I am a lucky geezer. I am marrying a Calabar babe in December and her father said i could turn up with a bottle of Whiskey. He wants nothing else. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Diva20(f): 10:14pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
~Sauron~: Boo! You have to marry a Yoruba person lol. Does the bride get to pick the tasks or just the rest of the family? |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Sauron1: 10:17pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
Diva 2.0: Yoruba person? Unless she's directly related to Harry Akande. The bride has no say in the tasks. It's the elders of the family and the MC that map out em rigorous tasks. |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by Diva20(f): 10:19pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
~Sauron~: That sucks! |
Re: Is It Good For A Woman To Pay Her Bride Price To Help Her Lover? by follypimpi(m): 10:22pm On Mar 26, 2010 |
Funny how some ladies remember tradition when it comes to bride price. |
