DateMynd44: Leave am, the guy doesn't know. Even in the bible, it's clearly written, yak se nea caesar no caesar. Even for some place in ibibio land, before the traditional marriage proper, e se wa edung for either adiaha or anwa. If you don't do it, dem go pour libation and summon spirits to come deal mercilessly with you. Holyghost fire cannot help when it happens. |

well I'd say it's because of the money in the state.. yes it's my state but the qualities of the women are worth the amount.. an average akwa Ibom lady can manage a home without stress or family interference 1 Like |

sadly it happens.. some of my towns people are still stuck on their way coming back from traditional wedding they went to in Uyo. the story goes thus.; so a struggling guy from my village saw and fell in love with a girl he met in Owerri. they decided to settle down by doing the traditional wedding before the white wedding. the guy who rides keke-napp, was a able to hire bus and off they went to the wife's place. on reaching, they were received well, and after the whole affairs, he was called aside with two older men from my place to talk about the list. when the list was presented, the items were so exorbitant for the guy. what my man did was to put his hand inside his pocket and gave them the money he had which was 50k and told them that it is for all the items in the list. needles to tell you that they were driven away by the would-be in-laws. fast forward to three days ago, they were called back because the lady in question is now a mother of 3 and the father was seriously sick. they had to accept the little the man could provide cos the in-law begged and made it his last wish. so long and short story is that, my guy married his heart cos the in-law stood up for him. but since they three days ago, they are still in the road due to car problem. maybe it is because of awoof which runs belle 1 Like |

your reactions are childish, ability to pay for her bride price is a sign of maturity, nothing stops you from negotiating the list. i tell you by the time you man up and clear that list you will be glad you did and would have earned your inlaws respect. the list is simply a test of your resolve to marry that women you claim you love, this is why african traditional marriage contracts are not easily terminated. |

I am a native of Akwa Ibom and I want to say this - Am a type that observes naturally just anything going on around me. It never used to be so, believe me when I say, the so called culture is now mixed with greed and fueled by poverty looming an average unemployed villager. I will always damn tradition anytime any day, especially if it is not comfortable for me. As a young man I do not have anything to do with cowards - male or female. No body ever changed the world by adhering to what they were told they could and could not do. Every law is made by men for men and in most cases the law is only binding on the average men. I should say a lady is a weakling if she can't stand up for her marital life. It is such a shame though am aware this doesn't happen in all parts of Akwa Ibom, I know it's not an Akwa Ibom issue. Africans have a culture of mutual impoverishment and everyone is looking for who to take advantage of. It is my/your business if we accept it 6 Likes 2 Shares |

God bless you. I would never accept being sold for a price! Believe me some women have suffered all their life for this reason. This is where some marital issues start from in some marriages and in others there is peace only because the woman endures. The culture we celebrate identifies and treats women as a piece of shit in most instances. The worst about this whole thing is that the women are gravely disadvantaged if they fail to marry on time as against men. 2 Likes |

Spaxon: Is that the quality modern men desire? You must be living in a cave. Women in the state are worth the amount -so you say. Why do you think men marry women for the sole purpose of taking care of the home in 2018? You as a 26year old lady without a job and a certificate that you won't use to improve the country's GDP, is that worth? How many Akwai Ibom women have the following qualities? Good job Intelligent Homely advantage. |

HungerBAD: I have followed your write ups and you seem to be s nice educated decent fellow, and from this post shows you don't even live in Nigeria. Why do you support a terrorist like Buhari?you have a lot of following here,and a lot of readership in the world look at your posts and get convinced. Please try to be saying the truth. Stop selling Buhari the terrorist to Nigerians. Congratulations to your sister on her wedding and the steps you took as s protector was commendable. No more Buhari. 2 Likes |

CharleyBright: Correct guy. THIS is how a real man thinks. Why would ANY FATHER let some hungry greedy villagers put a RANSOM on your daughter's happiness? You would rather kill your daughter's soul by keeping her sleeping with men out of wedlock than to just let her marry the person she is in love with so they can start building their lives together in a simple way and grow? What is even terrible is that YOU are the one being done a favor. These 2 people are trying to move YOUR generation forward. You want to keep her well into her 30s before you get tired of her and after you have crushed her heart and turned it to kpomo by blocking her true loves of youth from marrying her....all because of greed and cowardice? How is that even remotely logical?! These areas in naija just seem full of weak & heartless bastards for fathers. Because tell me now, how does any of these things help YOU? 3 Likes |

Efik are more reserved, quiet and contented while AKB are more hustlers and rugged . There are lots of differences. 2 Likes |
