My sis got married last Dec and we took care of the trads. Her hubby's contribution was providing the items on the list he was given. Even bride and groom's wardrobe for the day was provided by bride's family. The church wedding also saw us helping out with expenses - not cos d groom couldn't do it, but because its just common sense and fair to contribute to the expenses. Personally i think whoever has more (financially) should do more but if you're waiting for one party to do everything cos culture says so, u're on your own. 1 Like |

Ohh plzz lets hear a word!!! If you dont have money to take care of a woman, you can go and hang yourself on a transformer, Abi una no wan spend money before. @poster you said your brother, has an igbo chic he wants to marry but because of the money involved he's about changing his mind, BREAKING NEWS!!! Tell your brother he is not in love with the chic, or else common sense should have told him to go and meet with the in-law to be and discuss how they can help him out in the trad. Abeg make una no dey fall my hand again, |

there is a general saying in Igbo Land !! if bride prize prevent a man from marrying a woman of his choice in Igbo Land it means that the man is not yet ready for marriage. Marriage in Igbo land is serious business. its not marrying today and separate tomorrow. a real igbo woman marries one man i her life time(except death) in cultures where most women marries up to 4 or 5 husbands in her life time, their men knows it will be a waste of time spending money when taking a wife. knowing fully well that the woman can wake up tomorrow morning and pack her loads to another man's house. my point is if a man want to buy pure water or groundnut, =N=5 is enough. Marriage cost more than N5 in igbo land. if u no get liver !! gerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooout |

ZE:you make sense, anyways. But it isnt necessary the sum spent that causes d stability, but rather the culture effect trickled down-you grew up with ur father and mother, and why would u even think of changing a hussy in ur own time, most often, whateva d lady will b passing thru, hv bn experienced by her mom, and she surpassed, imo! Guchis:kudos to ur family, while ur deeds are passable, it is not the norm in the ibo society/culture. Bride's parents that are not janded in thots and lifestyles prefer the groom to cater all to his ability, then the bride family will 'i du' ie sort of settle their daughter after all festivities with what they have, which may be a building - sewing machine - plastic buckets; depends on thir pocket's depth. Reason for this generally is for the bride to know, no matter how well of her family is, she is now changing into another man's name and under his authority, and should be prepared to abide in her own man's home. Her mother may cite her own case anrcumstances when she got married to her hussy, and how she stuck by him till he was made. The groom is encouraged to spend by hisself to ascertain his size of heart towards his new wife/family, imo. xynerise:that is the bride's fanily dey pose. No core igbo would do that! We have a saying that goes thus :'ka aka ha nwanyi, ka ona eji de di ya' literally : the length of one's arm will s/he use to hug the spouse. Fact now, no longer imo. |

Da Doctor:hi, dont know if you are just stating a point, or refering to my earlier post. If it is the latter, pls clarify the point of direction so I can answer adequately. Or better still, elaborate your experience in marrying from itsekiri! We are all here to enlighten ourselves. Cheers. |

@OP, the igbos have already answered you Tsun: you should have money ZE: If he can't foot the high bill then he is not ready. Confirmation of your brother's fears Obiagu1: Final conclusion. What more does he want to hear. The real igbos have spoken. Case closed. |

H-Star89: Did your dad pay for your own traditional marriage or your mum's? |

Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by Obiagu1(m): 12:16am On Aug 11, 2011 |
H-Star89: Cool. Someone might be interested in you. I'll try and link you up with him. I'll like to see you back to Igboland. |
Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by Nobody: 12:23am On Aug 11, 2011 |
Obiagu1: cool. I really dont practice igbo culture much. I've been americanized lol. |
Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by Obiagu1(m): 12:34am On Aug 11, 2011 |
H-Star89: It doesn't matter, really. You still have Igbo blood in you and it won't be difficult to catch up. The culture is much more modernised now. You can message me your contact. I think there's a provision for personal messages here. |
Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by Nobody: 12:44am On Aug 11, 2011 |
Obiagu1: Modern, really? |
Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by Obiagu1(m): 1:01am On Aug 11, 2011 |
H-Star89: Yah, most of the culture have been 'christainised'. It's continually evolving with many non-indigenous cultures added. |
Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by Nobody: 1:16am On Aug 11, 2011 |
my mom seldom says much about it. |
Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by Obiagu1(m): 1:27am On Aug 11, 2011 |
H-Star89: She probably won't except if something cultural comes up like marriage or even a visit to her town. |

@jayyem hello house,i believe everybody is right to an extent,but as of every tradition,some people are well enlightened more than the other,it used to be like that which i do confirmed from my igbo friends but notwithstanding,some people will still try to be greedyU're very right Igbo's own is cheaper compared to Akwa Ibom, also if the bride is pregnant or have children before the list is fullfilled in Akwa Ibom. The groom will pay more including a separate insult goat & gifts for that "Insult!" . |
Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by abagoro(m): 10:27am On Oct 08, 2011 |

Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by Nobody: 6:44pm On Oct 08, 2011 |
I think both families join heads together to foot the bills. |
Re: Who Foots The Bill Of Traditional Wedding In Igbo Culture. by ibibiogrl: 1:22am On Oct 11, 2011 |
abagoro:Which part is the same? I haven't heard of "insult" list escept in Akwa Ibom. namywedding even have comparisons and listed Ibibio & Igbo to be the top 2 most expensive. http://www.namywedding.com/articles/44-ibibio-traditional-wedding Comparing Igbo and Ibibio list:- http://www.namywedding.com/articles/90-battle-of-the-tribes-igbo-vs-ibibio-traditional-marriage-list-traditional-marriage-series |
