You want to use your family who is rich and also married from rich homes and are probably conservative to compare with people that are just doing okay and not conservative but also looking for means to suck people dry financially. Don't act like these things don't happen even if OP might have exaggerated it(not sure of though).

Good morning, it has nothing to do with being rich or poor okay. My comment was to disabuse the generalization that you must cough out all you have and even borrow before you marry in Igbo land. The generalization is out of place and getting out of hand.

If you want to marry, talk to the girl and also to her father, the father is important because he decides how things goes. In marriage list, there are things for the bride's father and mother but my dad always say no to that hence our in-laws always appreciate my dad and mum every Christmas, it's not an obligation nor a plea but they always do on their own, thank you.

don't mind him, instead of marrying from a less greedy place n use d remaining money to buy land.


After 5 years he will thank God than marrying from a greedy place where everyone will write all their problems n expect a potential suitor to pay for it.

What if they are all male in d family with no women,won't d brothers n sisters wear clothes?
Won't they live their life's?

It's annoying reading it,they don't even care if the newly married will have something to fall on after marriage, their own is to cut his head now
Yet your alafin came,negotiated and happily went home with a beauty,..was he stiupid ?

Thanks for the clarification, I am also not generalizing, reason why I said you really can't compare your family with some of the families/clan who try to cash out in a huge way when such opportunities arise. You also said your Dad said NO to such because he has his own reasons and he probably has a huge influence on your clans, how about those who don't. In all, it would be foolish of me to assume it's a general thing, but what are one's chances of meeting a family that will start from a quite affordable list you will also be afraid of negotiating, as that can't be one's consideration when dating or trying to fall in love with a partner. Even the Yorubas, there are those that will milk you dry all in a bid to have a talk of the town trad wedding.
