My sister, shey your husband no pay for your bride price?

If he hasn't, both of you are indulging in fornication.

He needs to pay and get the approval of your parents because you didn't birth and train yourself.

Put small sense in your feminism madam ;

majekdom2:
in a society where different meanings are read to things, you would expect a man who has paid millions to marry a woman feel he has every right to maltreat the woman. And this is Adichie’s point. It’s a mind thing.

SENSE HAS FINALLY LOCATED HER[/s].

Ayodele70:
Nigerian writer, speaker, and activist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has weighed in on the idea of bride price in Nigerian marriages.

She had an evening with some young people in Lagos yesterday, and someone asked a question about bride price.

According to her, her dad didn't receive any bride price during her wedding, he just
collected 10kobo to make it symbolic.

She also revealed she is not a fan of bride price because it ruins things.

She said'


"I am not a fan of bride price. I think we should get rid of the whole idea of money in marriage, it ruins things. We are not selling anybody".

Social media opinions cannot change tradition, we should stop deceiving ourselves with these bride price blah blah blah.

If as a man,you are charged higher than you can pay to marry, you simply back-off since you can't afford it, not ranting because of your inability to meet up the needed requirements, afterall some tribes don't charge high.

And as a woman, once a man pay your bride price to wife you, have it in mind that your submissiveness isn't negotiable.

Tradition is tradition and social media can't change it.

Who has the traditions helped? These stupid traditions have caused more harm than good.

It is only in NIGERIA that it is ok for parents to sell their daughters for money and foodstuff.

It is when Nigerians are willing to abandon the rubbish that they are used to that we can now start improving.

Say NO to old pot-bellied politicians.
Say NO to local STUPID traditions.

Chinny024:
Then be ready to face God squarely... From ages, bride price has been instituted...

TheMan3:
After They have paid yours. Why did you not tell your father?

Earthbound:
Did you know that in India, it is the woman that pays for the man's head i.e groom price? Yet, their women are one of the most submissive women on the planet. Let that sink in for a minute.

divinelove:
it's a biblical injunction

ollah2:



A lot of people have lost their lovers due to one church not allowing members to marry from another church letalone another religion. Do you clearly support eradicating foreign religions?

amaniro:


Because I can point out good from odds. Christianity is not a foreign religion. Stop thinking like an illiterate. God sent missionaries to help spread the Gospel. It's for everyone. I believe it cause it's true. So you like the killing of twins. Your hypocrisy is great.

DanXplore:


Religion is also dumb too. It is a mental shackle to say the least. I am a Christian and Christianity is not a religion.

Seconded

Humans made custom. Humans can change it. Tradition is a bondage of hypocrisy saddled on generations.
