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.
YORUBAS, do have their list also,
But we are not so sure of the HAUSAS.
Can any Hausas here tell us if you have anything like Bride Price/Marriage List OR what your Bride Price looks like?
Thanks in anticipation.

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


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!

See what you sat down to type.

Are you jobless

It is only a foolish man whose life savings is less than 1m that will borrow 10m for bride price and weeding ceremony to please and satisfy the desires of 1 girl that claims to be posh.

I thought Rochas okorocha do the same thing earlier.

Echile:


We the elders are not in support of it.
We are Imolite and we are differ from others.
We aren't changing nothing in our Bride price.

then be ready to marry all ur single ladies, u can have ten of them to reduce the rate.ewumadu.

That's why I like my tribe ohh bride price na #20 items you go bring no go reach 100k

What a stupid bill. Go and try any thing without seeing all the groups in the community and watch them break your head during the marriage. Traditional marriage is purely family/community matters. IMO seems to be producing more lunatics in power than other SE states.

Anigreat:





Long over due


Imo people are using marriage as poverty alleviation.


I still remember when elder bro wanted to marry from there, it was so shocking to see one G- wagon Mercedes benz for the father of the bride, and a range rover for the mother... naso we read list the laugh, my brother been drive 1999 model Toyota Camry, when we remember it, we even laugh more... we tried all we could but to no avail.. las las senior man yappa o.


Imo people think they're doing me, they don't know they're doing their daughters.

Just for the love of "comments, likes & shares" you have made a caricature and ridicule of yourself with this unreasonable and unbelievable comment of yours.

lols

the women for there don hear am

this is a welcome development

Hahaha. The funny thing is that in some Asian countries its the women that pay the grooms family to marry him. Greedy slobs should have changed this a long time ago. Now most of their ladies are getting old And not yet married.

Kingfragz:

Abeg

This list will definitely be over one million naira jeez

YelloweWest:
Whu are we Africans so obsessed with marriage? Of the numerous problems we have, which good polices can solve, why is it that marriage seems to always get more of our attention?

Are marriages and good policies mutually exclusive?
Who dey marry no dey think about good policies again?

IMO Amaka money vampires, exercise in futility, they will continue to hike bride price because the price of fuel is increasing in Nigeria.

BTW who wants an overpriced hoe?

josephft2000:
The way Igbos sell their daughters under the guise of marriage is worrisome. Anyway, in Igbo land, women are relegated to the background. Honestly, 80k as dowry fee is too outrageous.

mahn say imo, don't generalise it, in my place, it's between #100 to #500,

ottalo:

Esan in Edo state

hmm
Bride price cheap...but I dey hear say many of dem girls na witch....no offense

ottalo:
That's why I like my tribe ohh bride price na #20 items you go bring no go reach 100k

my man where is you place, i'm coming to pick one of your sisters asap

Way forward

Liar

good one.. our people are so greedy �

That is a good development if it means the extortionist practices in African marriage will be curtailed. Though the implementation is key but this bill will at least send the right message to those greedy in-laws

AroOkigbo:
This is a very good move. We have to face reality. There are no jobs and many businesses aren't doing well.
Cut down on the cost of marriage, and entice more interested and mature ones take the bold step.
This bill is win win for both young men and women.

All these instances wey men wey de give women belle, and they are automatically married will soon disappear.

Why would anybody without job want marry?

Best bill ever in imo state,is too much...

MAD OH!!!

I left chi chi in 2016 because of marriage cost, imo government should provide subsidy for marriage.
