Before going to the East for my marriage introduction, I was skeptic because of what people do say about marriage in the East(Igbo land). But to my surprise the list giving to me was far from what people do say. Their marriage also wasn't as expensive as some part of Benue state where I came from. I was giving 3 list to choose from one or the one that is best for me.

longetivity:
are you sure it's from Anambra

Bornsinner7:
Which one is requirement for born again Christians only??

All this stress just to own a pussy??

Now that the world is thriving towards gender equality.. I think they should start groom price as well

Akaegwu:
The list is for ịgba nkwụ alone.
Ịgba nkwụ is the last phase of the traditional marriage.

Queenlovely:
Have you seen a marriage list from Imo state?

Don't Generalize, If you see marriage list from Ukwuzu you go bend. When the family is poor, they want to sell their daughter.

But when they are well to do, they will do the right thing,

Op, how many brothers does your woman have?, are they rich?,

is she the last born? Are her parents rich?

These are the factors, it's not a fixed variable. it is constantly changing.

TAH! Who sell daughters more than Igbo?...



God bless Ndigbo!

The critical aspect of marital rite is bride price and it is one thing that is widely acceptable to solidify marriage.
Bride price varies from tribe to tribe and it depends on the custom and tradition of each family.
Some people believe that it is a way to safeguard marriage while others believe, it is a way of selling their children especially the girls cheaply.
But, whatever the case maybe.
It is expected of both families to take rightful steps and decisions when their children are proposing to marry.


Here is a A TYPICAL MARRIAGE LIST IN IGBO LAND.

But we are not so sure of the HAUSAS.

Really?
Are you married now or still planning towards it?


We are sure he is not pretending.
Not the same list to all men.
It all depends.


Lol
Chief SEGLIZ,
That list is only for the strong men with good jobs for hand o.
Not for just anybody.
We can testify to that first hand.
Real Igbo men don't complain and they can go over and beyond for them babes.
Madam Ngo of [color=#006600][/color] is just smiling here sheepishly!
She knows what's up!

Juliusmalema:


The list alone is hyper normal and easy to fulfill.....That's how marriage list should be.



The list is standard, good and inorder, any man who can't provide such things is not fit for marriage and should be rejected

emonis88:
