"Igbo"?

Sounds more like a Calabar/Akwa Ibom trado marriage list, which, BTW, is not so different from what obtains in some part of Igboland.

This is not an Igbo list.

Sounds more Efik to me. 

If that man has an Efik woman, then he is BLESSED! Prepare to die before her though, because it will be hard to keep her off him each night. 

Either way, he should never have got the woman pregnant before marriage.

what up with this igbophobia on nairaland is this not an EFIK/IBIBIO LIST that being said why did u bring it to politics from culture section ? what are you up to?
secondly it is their tradition either you respect it or u leave their women alone ,customs is something only adults and matured minds understand and apreciate. people that have been marrying from there are not complaining.

goin through the list its probably not goin to cost more than 100grand to get all those stuff, if you cant afford hundred grand well just keep hursling harder

^^ that list is 1980 edition, check out the 2011 edition.

HELP!!!!!!!

. . .And I've been eying one Igbo babe seriously! Chei! No option, I have to kidnap that Amaka babe now.

This definately is not an igbo marriage list, probably an efik/anang/ibibio marriage list.

On a serious note, what has tradition got to do with St. Remy, Star beer, Gordon gin and all those other "oyinbo" stuffs? I think these items were collected during the slave trade era or has marriage become another form of slavery?

HELP!!!!!!!

The family wan open super market ?

come and marry me; I have no demands!

Jesus!

One need to save for many years to marry an igbo lady n for one to be back on one's feet after the ceremony

Fucking rubbish, how will a man and his new wife (in this case two kids also) survive after buying a whole market to appease his wife's family? Ol boy better go find him a Yoruba or Benin woman, na only "BIG MAN" dey marry Igbo woman.

The more reason you'd see many ibo ladies getting old and still single.

People must realize that this is not even an Igbo list. It is an Efik/Ibibio list.

aaah look at otu ole, even with how cheap it is to marry a Yoruba woman, dem plenty well well we no fit find man.

It means the ibo list will be more than this !

yarodin:

aaah look at otu ole, even with how cheap it is to marry a Yoruba woman, dem plenty well well we no fit find man.

Atleast we dont sell our children like the ibos.

No wonder it's more easier for Armed Robbers, Fraudsters, Yahoo boys, kidnappers and Money ritualists to Marry an Ibo Girl than it is For an Hardworking Guy like me.

Look it not really sell, it's kinda ego, pride thing.

My cousin just got married, the young chap insisted on buying everything on the long list X 2.
And that list is more expensive than this posted here ooh.

The list is soo real and true, I have on my desk right now totalling an N500k. The bit of brief cases with N150k is unheard of n laughable tho.

I don laugh tire,
Too bad.

It is nothing but poverty.you can imagine buying irrelevant things all because you want to marry a girl.them wan open market on top the guy ?

I think the poster is stupidity personified

what are u going on about? wetin poster do u?

macjive01:

what are u going about? wetin poster do u?

All this stupid tribalist jokes are wearing thin. If you think you are funny, go and apply to be on AY show.

Oops ! You can't hide from us what we already know about ibo culture with regards to marriage.their list is the most expensive in the country !

In the grand scheme of things, what does it matter if the list is cheap or expensive. If you can't afford to marry Igbo wife, there are 249 other tribes in Nigeria for you to marry from. Why drink panadol for another mans headache or even crack your rib for another man's joke?
