Fear factor have finished Nigerians. Them say "You no do marriage like this, like that, follow trado etc then you no go born or prosper in the marriage" - why won't someone come reap where they didn't sow. I say girl take your marriage planning into your own hands and have a say where everything should go. All the food and stuff collected should go to the bride. Then she can do distribution or take everything with her to her new home. Marriage and death = money generating business as usual for greedy family members. Long throat and poverty mentality. 1 Like 1 Share |

LordOfTheGame: My brother, I'm not trying to start a war or be offensive in anyway, just wondering why it's like that. I love the part of the culture that appeals to me and have great friends plus a sister of the Igbo decend o...was just curious why people one hardly know would have so much authority on one's wedding.

MartinsD12:Where I come from bride price goes higher than that and lower than that. Depends on how much the suitor is willing to spare. Bride prices are shared. In my place, male elders have a mandatory 50k while women can get up to 40k plus that of the parents. Minimum required bride price is 50k cos the men don't compromise even if women and parents do decide to let go of theirs |

bluskyee: The question is still within the boundaries of the subject which is broadly about culture. What if your ancestors were 0sus? The below pictures are the dress code of your Igbo ancestors, why did you change it if you're so proud of your culture(I actually feel that the ancient Igbo woman's attire is great, the south africans didn't change their's as seen in the picture), just like you can't change the bride price? Why are 90% of igbos worshippers of the whiteman's God, if they exalt and worship their culture? 1 Like

SmartyPants:The same bride price that made men think they bought a commodity? who ever told you women were happy with it? who and who did you get this statistics from? And by the way ,I am not dumb not to know he was joking with the evil forest thing ,the colonists free you africans from that bondage along time ago. Obviously the primary beneficiary would have been the bride's father of he were alive because in the case of absentee fathers , they seek out the father to come and collect bride price even if he didn't contribute a dime ,so in this case it's very clear the father is dead , and so the beneficiaries automatically became the elders made up of kinsmen in the family. |

pocohantas: Ok....makes a little sense then. At least, if parents continually create a sort of buffers for the prospective inlaw, it wont be so bad. By forgetting their roots, I meant they have completely stopped going to the village for anything and do not own properties there. So if its insulting their parents,sebi na person wey you see you go insult. On a brighter note, I must commend the consistency these kinsmen have demonstrated overtime to ensure you guys keep coming back to your roots. At this tempo, it is sure that several generations to come will continue to mark register with these elders even if you travel far and wide. Most of we Yorubas dont even bother with our villages let alone establish roots there. |

sisisioge:They don't have any authority except the one given to them by the bride and her family. And this is an outrageous bride price. Have never heard of this crazy thing before. Would be brides instead of protecting and shielding their prospective husbands from wolves, tend to exaggerate and make the guy look like a president before her family which then extend to the greedy elders through gossips and that's why you have this nonsense. The guy in question always rode on white horse when visiting. After marriage, na the babe go hear am. When problem arise, those wey chop money will tell her straight away they are not ready to vomit. 1 Like |

How can someone pay 300k as bride price. Onless you guys didn't allow the person to buy anything as the 300k covers the whole items on the list. Cus this my first time of hearing this amount. Well am from imo state and my dad is late when my elder sister got married the bride price was given to me as the eldest so i don't understand why ur own case was given the the village people. Village people has their own share but not the bride price money. 1 Like |
Re: Man's Mother Gets ₦5000 From His Sister's ₦300,000 Bride Price by Maobichek: 3:11pm On Apr 05, 2021 |
sisisioge: Let me be specific, bride price of 300k is not possible because the list is what makes marrying some igbo girls difficult. No one pays bride price 300k after buying everything in the list. Since he didn't talk about the list, that 300k must be part of the things in the list. Bride price goes to the parents of the girl and not elders or even uncles, what elders and uncles receive is their entitlement in the list and not bride price. Some elders/uncles can decide that their entitlement in the list be paid in cash and not material things as listed in the list. What the groom's family will do is to get the prices of those items and pay the cash equivalent . What the mother of the girl received was the bride price and the rest was the item in the list, thank you. |

sisisioge:Bride price is 6 naira. That is what will be giving to you when you go to customary court for dissolution of marriage. Ordinarily, one don't pay bride price. Like in mine, my husband's family was given back the money and they took like 10% of it. This popular adage was used to conclude it. "You no dey marry woman finish for one day" In other words, as you give back that money, you open up a relationship which says our daughter is giving to you guys to just take care of and a symbiotic union formed. Any body that goes contrary to what is written in their constitution has herself to blame. Well, I don't know about some other igboland but where I came from and it's environs, marriage is very cheap. Very very cheap. And these I have attended are the same. 1 Like |

#300k for bride price? I don't believe this Note that in igboland bride price is different from marriage rites. What usually take up a lot of money are the marriage rites not bride price. |
