See why it will take time for some reasonable men to settle down.

I keep saying it: bride/marriage list is never a sell off of one's daughter.

The guy doesn't love her.

If he did, he would negotiate the list to what he can afford or tell the babe to pressure her people to back off.

He will not ghost her.

He obviously does not see them as a team.

Tell me that an e-diotic non-Igbo isn't the one trying to troll the Igbo tradition with those screenshots and I'll tell you that you're the most stupid person to ever grace this earth.

We, the Igbos don't give a flying or crawling fvck about what you lots think about our tribe when it comes to marriage and the tradition surrounding it.

If you fvcking think our women ain't worth it, kindly switch to a particular tribe where you can marry their women with just red oil of N100 and Ghana pepper of N70.

We don't care! Las las after ranting, you'll logout, sell your lands, leave your women and come down to Igbo land to marry with the money.

As a woman, don't you think it's shameful that somebody should be 'pricing' you? Just curious.

Bride price is a male tradition:

Most women are for the abolishing of BP because of its connotation and the fact that husbands have used it for ages to bully their wives.

This is not about what I prefer, it is about the reality on ground.

He sounds too hurt already. They (the man and his fiancee) could talk this over first and then go there different way if there's no way.

Firstly, I believe the thread is scripted sha, but let's agree it happened grin

So because he's pulling out means he didn't love her? If we go check our blood groups and we are both incompatible for child bearing, will you say I never loved you because I quit?

Don't judge what you see because of few pictures. You only read a chat of few lines. What about the phone calls, pleas, arguments?

I agree with what you said about bargaining, but saying he doesn't love her no follow

Abasi. lipsrsealed

Chickening out is not the first option.You can negotiate.Meet with the family with your own family members and try to reach something reasonable.

The man should have an idea what the tradition is in the first place before going far just to chicken out.

Nope.

However if he loved her, there would be an intimate engagement.

He tells her to talk to her family, engage the family himself etc.

And how do you know he hasn't done all that?

This our Africa tradition sha!


As if she's a commodity to be bought!

And the man will still be expected to treat the wife's family well after paying all this o!


Bride price payment should be abolished! I support it!

Until that BS is scrapped, men will never agree to be equal with their wives.

In most cases,the Bride price is usually affordable.The problem is usually not the bride price but the marriage list.

Yes, with the marriage list too.

The comparison has already taken place when people are giving out invoices and others are insisting that prices should be negotiated. I just built my analogy upon the solid foundation.

Besides, all that talk of negotiating reminded me of when I bought my first, second-hand Suzuki bike.

I agree with you that he doesn't love her, otherwise his tone would have been different. How can you tell someone you love to wait for another that will be able to pay her bride pride. In my dictionary, the word impossible doesn't exist anyway.

Love is really expensive (not materially) and not so many can afford it. Chai! I can't wait to meet my soulmate...

Actually, I think you're right. He does seem to have already decided to abandon women and face his life for now. An mgtow in the making.

The chat does seem fake but if it’s real, they could still get married if they wanted to. If he wanted he could have asked her how she can supplement what is being asked for.

Many women do it and keep it a secret so that people won’t mock them for paying their own bride price. But often husband and wife can put resources together to settle the demands of the father and his kinsmen and go live their lives happily together.

Everyone who is honest knows that bride price is trash and needs to go. It won’t remove anything from a fun and fulfilling traditional marriage ceremony if that’s what they are afraid of.

Why are you against it? Her parents like it, the rest of the family like it, the woman likes it, her friends will gossip about it, his parents too will boast of it. HR will help him get loan for him to pay it. Oga at the top will congratulate him when approving it. The only one that will not like it is the groom, but who listens to the groom?

What happens to being reasonable? Your daughter is getting married and u bring a list for the man to feed the whole community and someone is saying she is worth it. When the man starts treating her like trash, they will still come here to say rubbish not knowing what the man had to go through.

Those people applauding, ask them if they would comply to such madness called bride price list.

We are our own problem on this country. Take it or leave it
