Your kinsmen will be in a better position to tell you that. you know it varies from tribe to tribe, so, people on here might not be able to tell you what is obtainable in your own tribe.

Thanks for the reply and attentions keep it coming

You don't really need the money but you got so angry to the extent pf creating a thread to either ventilate or seek an echo chamber.

Just pack your bags and prepare to go live with your soon-to-be brother in-law.

Redirect your energy into earning a sustainable income in this present day Nigeria and stop wasting it on feelings that would not pay your rent.

Your sister is unfortunate to have a brother like you who cannot even defend her honour, but demands for a share of her bride price.

I don see women finish ....especially those with innocent face ...god forbid I defend any woman...I fear who no fear women....I have been redpilled to the core no carry manipulation near me ..if u like involve my mum I dont care

The tale you narrated clearly shows a family in disarray, broken, and disunited. How could your father refuse to have anything to do with the money, yet received it from his in-laws? If your dad were in control of his family, he would have returned the money as it is the prevailing practice in most parts of Igbo land today. And what the heck is the pastor doing in an issue that is completely a cultural, family affair?

For you, opening a thread just to vent and lament that your cut from the bride price is insignificant, shows you are neither a cultured nor sensible person. You can't use paying rents, living alone, and struggling as a young man to conceal your lack of tact and pathetic sense of entitlement. If you want to spend bride price money as you wish, get marry, procreate female children, and demand hefty amounts from your sons-in-law. You should be happy that you were given some part of the money, instead idly whining and giving away some unpleasant details of yourself and your family.

Am glad you got so embarrassed by what you saw in the mirror, that you had to go edit your thread title and delete your original post/first post after realizing you demeaned yourself.

And by the way, redpiller no be work e no dey pay rent!

Have a nice life!

Bride price in my place is 24 cowries. And because cowries are no longer in use, this was converted to 24 Naira. It is only demanded because it is customary. Female children are not meant to be 'sold for profit'. It demeans the marriage and the lady herself.

My place is different from yours, I know. My advice to you is accept 'your share' and move on, or ignore the entire money.
