It's Orsu LGA not Orlu.


All the places you listed under Orlu are all Orsu LGA.


Nwangele marriage rites na die. They will cut your throat. My uncle married from there.


You don't know what you are saying young man.

There is Orlu senatorial zone which covers all LGAs under it.

And there is Orlu LGA on its own.
Orsu as a LGA is under Orlu senatorial zone but not under Orlu LGA.
That is why it is called Orsu/Orlu/Oru federal constituency.

Note: You can also see Orlu as a city that involves different LGAs.
Just like Benin, Ibadan, port Harcourt etc. that have several LGAs inside them.

Na lie ooo. Everywhere in IMO is damn expensive to marry especially if you come from Anambra State. They always feel men from Anambra have Storehouse full of money.

I had first hand experience when my friend got married to a medical Doctor. The yam my guy bought was more than 350 tuber of yams.

No be joke ooo.

It is not a peculiarity of any tribe, all parts of Nigeria have beautiful women, beauty they say is in the eyes of the beholder. Beauty and fineness only do not keep a marriage, as those would fade with time. Like the saying goes, the beautiful ones are not yet born.

I will rather marry a white or Hausa, Plateau, Taraba etc. lady instead of marrying a yoruba lady. Except if her father is extremely connected e.g Otedola etc.

In fact I have dated their ladies more than I dated Igbo ladies. It was towards my final year in school that I dated my first Igbo babe and since then I no dey gbadun dating yoruba babe.

Na Yorubaland dem born and train me, so I know what I'm saying.

I agree with you on this

I perfectly understand you . A Yoruba woman gave birth to my son ...getting involve with her is the greatest mistake I have ever made ..what sounds like taboo in the east is fun to them .I schooled here I know the ladies very well. With igbo woman u 've nothing to regret even if u die before her...I am not talking about those igbos born and trained in Yoruba land..


Na now you get the point.

You're right bro.

Most Igbo guys raised here sometimes finds it difficult marrying an Igbo lady raised here except they are closed in one way or the other before the marriage thing comes up.
Most prefer going to the east to get a partner.
You won't blame them in the sense that those girls too dey form at their young ages but tends to be friendly when they are aging.

That is why some families send their daughters to the eastern part to live when they feel the girl is having issues with finding a suitor or is ripe for marriage.

Da'alu.

Enough Is Enough: Not All Parts Of Imo State Is Expensive To Marry From

I have read several misconceptions on social media over the years that all parts of IMO State is expensive to Marry from. Even recently, a lady who is supposedly from IMO State made a viral video of how men from IMO don't marry "them" (ladies from IMO State).

I write this article to clear the air about this generalisation about marriage in IMO State. I am a married man from Imo State and well travelled individual and take it from me when I tell you that NOT ALL parts of IMO State is expensive to marry from. Stop the ignorance and stop peddling lies.

Also, I noticed that most people mistake Bride Price to be the only money paid in traditional marriages, as you can hear one say, "IMO bride price na 1 Million Naira", etc.

Bride price in an Igbo Traditional marriage is the agreed sum (by law, it is N50 but families can state the amount they want) paid by the groom or his family member to the family of the bride. This has both physical and spiritual implications as the authority over the bride is passed to the groom and his family via that sum and other rites performed during traditional marriages. Even if you, in a traditional marriage, kill 100 cows, give your inlaws both gold and diamonds but haven't paid the bride price of a woman, YOU ARE NOT married. Most times, a family may charge, for example, N10,000 but will return a sum from it to the groom, while saying that they are not selling their daughter and other pieces of advice.

Apart from bride price, other items like goat, yams, snuff, kola, garden egg and so on are written on a MARRIAGE LIST usually given to the prospective groom, upon acceptance of marriage proposal and Introduction of both families of the groom and bride.

It is true that some parts are expensive to marry from but this article will focus on the largely unmentioned areas that you can marry from without spending an arm and leg.

I must state here that whatever items any part of the Imo State or any other place in Nigeria require as traditional marriage rites to give out their daughters' hand in marriage is their prerogative.

Below are some of the areas in IMO State where you won't spend an arm and leg to get married (traditionally):

1. Orlu (Ihioma, Umuna etc)

2. Oru West and Oru East (Amagu, Mgbidi, Akata, Ubulu (formerly called, Ubulu Ihejiofor), Nempi etc)

3. Orlu LGA (Awo Idemili, Amannachi, Amaebu, Umuhu Okabia (Cubana Chief priest's village), etc
4. Isu/Njaba axis (Ekwe, Ofekata Orodo etc)

5. Onuimo LGA

6. Nwangele LGA (Linda Ikeji's place)

7. Ideato South and Ideator North (Akokwa, Osina, Obodoukwu etc)

8. Even some places in the feared Owerri is cheap, eg. Agwa

I know that some villages/towns in these Local Government areas may be "expensive" to marry from but you can add other areas that you know are cheap to marry from.

This is a new year, find love, go for what you want. IMO ladies hardly abandon their husbands when things are tough (there are exceptions though), most are hardworking, Most are God fearing, they are the most beautiful, they HARDLY marry and remarry or engage in extramarital affairs, they are sociable, they are ambitious and so on.

NOTE: In every 12 Apostles, there must be a Judas so, pray and understudy your prospective wife.

Expensive traditional marriage can be when you spend 600,000 Naira to 1 Million Naira or more TO FULFILL ALL the REQUIREMENTS IN THE MARRIAGE LIST (decoration, band, DJ, Aso Ebi and other things in a traditional marriage event not inclusive)

While an affordable marriage is when you spend 50,000 Naira to 300,000 or less to FULFILL ALL THE REQUIREMENTS in the MARRIAGE LIST (DJ, Aso Ebi, food, etc not inclusive)

If there are areas that I didn't cover, please add.
u list area where I know go cut arm or leg to marry but refuse to mention where I go cut arm and leg to marry

That how i used to hear that marriage in Imo State is expensive until i started attending trads. The generalization is too much. Marriage in Ikeduru LGA Imo state is very affordable. Meanwhile I'm Anambra born and marriage is my place Nnobi is affordable. The problem i have noticed about Imo state is that some communities do not have standard marriage list leaving room for exploitation. That is part of the problem created by the useless autonomous communities everywhere in Imo state. Any community where the traditional rulers has created a marriage list it's hard for opportunist to take advantage. And in some cases these extortionists are evil relatives who did not want to girl to get married.

What is with this generalization?

Mechieonu gi dia!

Do you have problem using words like some etc.

So it is all women from Imo state that gave themselves bad names and all the ones from your state that gave themselves good names.

I can see you have problem with Imo women, who knows maybe one collected your man and ends up getting married to him, who knows?
