All those items can NEVER compare in value to a beautiful Igbo damsel nurtured in the way of her people.

All of you bashing Igbos with their list, are you people aware there is something called Tradition?

Could it be these lists is why Igbo women stay in marriage no matter the situation. They don't cheat, they don't run away when the situation goes wrong.

Igbo amaka. Marry an Igbo woman and have absolute peace in your marriage.


IGBO AMAKA!

Hizzy:

My brother if you marry Yoruba na still the same thing
Because every year the family of your Wife will be doing Owambe and they will bring a list of what you will buy for the occasion so it's almost the same
In Imo you pay once but in Yoruba you pay yearly

Hizzy:

Do you know that many of una woman no de their Husbands House
93% of the Alajia do leave their Husband waka since
Some don already marry like 5times in a year

If you impregnate anambra state daughter the bride price will double or you leave the child and their daughter for them as they will happily receive the child back as one of them.

PrinceBBlack:
I dont know y we deceive ourselves... if i were the guy, no problem. I pay marry the wife and that is all that can ever go to the family afterall this should be enough for the lifetime. If they ask me for money, I will tell them I dont have and i am still paying the loan i took for the items and brideprice/wedding. Its not hard

fykes:
It beats me why a grown man will complain about marriage lists.
Granted sometimes families want to extort u when they are either greedy or acutely poor.
But then.. That's often the exception.
So guys if she's worth it, pay the price!!
Your concern should be is she worth it? And what is the opportunity cost of marrying her?

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode]THEY MIGHT NOT RUN AWAY BUT THEY CHEAT VERY WELL...I CAN PERSONALLY TESTIFY TO WHAT I EXPERIENCED IN UMUAHIA SOME YEARS BACK[[b][/b]

What if an outsider impregnates their daughter, does it apply as well?

Rozaytee:
aswear...d one I saw... D item d lady's family got... Can be used to open a small shop... And stock it well

Offpoint:
Lol, not for people like me... When I impregnate your daughter with twins then run to Cameron, you'll be the one begging to come and take her for free.

If I paid such outrageous amount of money, she becomes one of my assets, not wife.

That's why I go marry either Hausa or Yoruba.
1 bag of Ewedu and pepper or 1 bag of goro and kunu.... wife don land.

It doesn't matter where you come from they see it as the family gaining a child and he or she will bear their name as well before their daughter will then look for another husband.

Even though you will still be the one to marry her you'll not go with the child because she's pregnant before you pay her bride price, they believe that you will marry one person not two the second being the unborn child which belong to the girl family.

@bolded,

I don't believe this coz I have learnt from a fellow Igbo friend that it doesn't apply to outsiders but it makes sense to leave the child with the mother (Igbo) for the compulsory motherly care which plays a great part in the child's development.

I appreciate where your sentiment lies but...

hisgrace090:



Pls don't argue with me on culture I have lived with constantly for almost 30 yrs.

Where you cone from matters not.

omooba969:


This will be the start of your marital problems coz they will think you don't wanna help.

PrinceBBlack:
Well, life is still not hard. I dont want to help. Did they think of helping me. The sentiments of not divorcing is what leads men to be slaves to inlaws.
