An Igbo lady is really angry about the cost of her traditional wedding as it has drained herself and her Isoko husband financially, to the point of being in debt.

Lols..ok boo. But help me on that "ABCDEF" part abeg.

I dont seem to get that part clearly.

tossie101:


Sorry but u are rolling with prostitutes.
Thats why they accept ur "offers"

Act and dress responsibly and u will meet well behaved girls

davidif:


Dude the fact that something has been done for thousands of years don't make it right it simply means that people didn't know any bettter like the killing of twins in old calabar.
You are a twenty first century man who probably went to school and has being taught to think critically and to question things whether you agree with them or not so start using your knowledge and try being objective instead of falling back on the tired old crutch of "culture". Wrong is wrong and right is right irrespective of how long it has been practiced. This here is greed plain and simple and that family should be ashamed of themselves.
Stop being a slave to tradition and be free of unnecessary shackles biko.

CaptainG00D:


Im being very serios..
Leave igbo women alone if u think they are expensive..
Is that not common sense?

gloria34:
na NEPA. I nor want make some correctors begin correct me

CaptainGOOD:


Lol ok.
So how u dey hope u are feeling this harmmattan for ur side

It's not all parts of the East, some greedy people sell their children and maximise profit.

Reminds me of a true story. One girl brought a man home to her parents in the East for marriage. After buying the required things and paying, the groom was made to pay exorbitant fees on the day of the trad by the bride's father and mother. Those who went with the man complained bitterly but the man kept quiet and paid.

After the wedding, the man informed his in laws that he didn't want to see them in his house as he had bought the wife. It was thought to be a joke until the wife delivered and the wife's mother was turned back at the gate of her daughter's house.

Bigsteveg:

I agree with you on the girl attitude. Back to the village wedding, it should not be so. Girl child should not be a commodity where the whole village will cash on.

Also, being able to meet up with the bride requirements does not mean the man will be able to take care of the woman. It can even make it worse because the man has this sense of him acquiring the woman like a yam u buy in the market.

I don't want to jump the NL way but....

Could it be that the 'lower' marriage rites make the Igbo men love their yoruba wives more?

Afterall, all the wives testifying are yorubas.

I lived with Igbos for a long time and what I observed is this:

Igbo men take providing seriously and will do anything legal and illegal to make money. Once it comes to making money, an Igbo man is not ashamed.

Igbo men like their families to shine and showcase his 'wealth'...

Their women did not need to earn, all they did was stay at home to 'chop' money and shine.... back to point 2.

When shit hits the fan, the wife is expected to leave with the clothes on her body afterall, the man bought everything. The shit rarely hit the fan sha....

They also look unapproachable however, they are not.

Major minus is their desperation for money and showoff.

I have also noticed that when Igbo men talk of headship, they are more concerned with the responsibilities aka providing; when Yoruba men talk of headship, they re more concerned with the rights aka respect.

PearlStreet:


Yes na, I'm a regular caller and I regularly see you there.

gloria34:
don't laugh, I an just about to have my first bath 4 d day

CaptainGOOD:


Lol nithing serios dear. I understand the cold is much.. make sure u cover well o.

gloria34:
thanks

CaptainG00D:
Hmm ok so Ur hubby paid dowry and became broke.? Rubbish!!!.
Any man that cant pay for his woman bride price is not ready for marriage n parenthood..
By the way its not by force to marry an igbo woman... look elsewhere where women are cheap.

As for ur friends who has "VOWED" not to marry igbo women pls tell them to vow with amadioha and ogun so that the vow will strong well well.
Becoz im loving that vow let them keep away from our women pls and stick to their own who "dont sell" their kids.

Pls pls all igbo parents should increase the brideprice more let them leave our gals alone becoz its getting too much pls.

NUFF SAID!!

Culture is culture. I am educated enough to know that every civilisation and great nation has a great culture which it's people are proud of

As long as the culture doesn't harm or cause retrogression, as long as such culture can exist along side development, it should not be changed for anything

Those who complain about igbo bride price should simply work harder and find the particular igbo woman that is worth it...or move on..this is always an option

Onyi42:
Why don't this girl use her father/community name here and stop identifying with all igboes

My community require next to nothing for bride price

Ugosample:


Cultures evolve....


Overtime, this thing will fade out.

Yes bro I totally understand your point of view.
Igbo's have this large family tree call kinsman...

They place that rules and tradition... Not the father.
I also married from Igbo land ...total cost on the list was 340k .. . the bride price is 2k they collected 1500 and give back the rest...

Now the list that amount to 340k... Drinks for so so and so Eg the Ada's , / kinsman, youth, and other related group confirming the marriage...

Goat , yam ,large pot of wine, etc... To different group...
That came to witness the marriage.

If you want to add to it just to make it sweet.. Fine
If you want to spend up to 1m, that is your business...of which too many girls want there marriage to look richer then others ...

And again Anambra list is different from IMO state list ...also different from Enugu list..

Culture is culture but it is not set in stone. Culture is dynamic meaning that it always changes if not we will be walking around naked or tying wrapper and hunting for food.
Make no mistake about it but commercializing your daughters marriage is just pure greed. This igbo tradition of treating women less than men should stop just like the tradition that disallows women from inheriting property.

CaptainGOOD:


U are mypic and deluded.
One thing with u people is u all from dat region are dumb and deluded.

So u think there are no old Yoruba ladies who at3 single.
Last time i checked igbo women are still the ones getting married the most.
igbo men efik Urhobo ijaw.. are all after them
But same wont be said forYoruba women.

Even ur yoruba men are abandoning their women to chase igbo women to marry. Even after complaing about bride price..

U alll are so deluded and myopic.
AND SEE UR YORUBA SISTER LOOKING FOR A MAN TO MARRY HER.

madone:
you started the insult hope u can face it when I start with you. I don't know why u ar crying over spilled milk. Check the list my dear u LL see many igbo ladies out dere hustling for husband.the worst is that even the ones that get married end up paying the bride price for by them self. My dear stop posting nonsense from twitter. Go to the churches u get the actual fact. Ur sisters are in Christ embassy, the lords chosen, omega fire ministry.they are runs girls in Abuja....if u leave this topic to address insult to me again then don't blame me for words that ll come ur way.
