From my interactions with her and observations, she is cool-headed and calm, intelligent and ambitious. Her skills match someone I dream of marrying. She is from Anambra, state - Umuoji

However, as a low-budget guy, I am weighing my options due to stereotype of demanding for a gargantuan bride price.

Just because there are some that seem to have worked does not mean it works for everyone. There are many out there filled with regret and majorly because they held racist ideals from the beginning they were unable to let go of even after marriage. undecided

This OP here clearly holds to racist views that ought not be overlooked as that girl is someone's daughter abeg! undecided

There are also Yoruba-Yoruba marriages that are failures as as ibo ibo marriages. Stop overlabouring this issue.

Also, you meant to say tribalism and not racism.

A lot of Keke and okada riders in the SE are legally married, they paid what they could afford and took their wife home. So if they can do it, you definitely can.

If you truly want to marry her, discuss your plans with her...try to find out what marriage list in her side looks like. That should give you a rough estimate of the total cost of marrying her.

This now brings us to step 2 which is for you to become friends with her parents and siblings, call them often and say hello to them, if you can afford some edibles, buy for them...but be sure that you let them know that you're not in anyway related to dangote.

As your relationship with her parents grows, meet her dad one on one and tell him your plans for his daughter, and the kind of budget you have, that you're a young man just starting life, but working towards rapid growth with his daughter...he'll most likely tell you not to worry because you've already established a working relationship with him.

After consultations, knocking and other traditional bruhaha have been done, you can fix your date for the traditional marriage with peace of mind. Cos your father in-law would be the one to talk to his Kingsmen so that they won't suffocate you with over billing.

After the traditional marriage, you can meet your pastor and organize a low-key white wedding. Just make it within your budget and you'll be fine.
OP, regardless of people throwing stones at you follow this piece of advice.

You'll be fine.

You are judging her without any igbophobic proof from her. There a lot of intertribal marriages between Yorubas and igbos that has worked and are still perfectly working fine . The Adeleke’s are typical example

You sit and just conclude on how well someone's private life is going.

Mumu.

Do you think some of these marriages will still be balanced if at all it is without the finance?

Insensitive? Maybe you will help him pay the bride price to prevent insensitivity

The last 2 imo girls I know get married at 300k bride price each with the husband still carrying every single damn expenses of both white and traditional wedding

Igbo women are really the weakest link. You can see how they end up thinking of you. I pity any Igbo lady that marries into your family. If you are this daft, only God knows how your parents and your siblings think. Why do you even want to marry an igbo lady when your kids will be called bastards tomorrow should they intend to run for political office and off course they can't run for office in Igbo land too.

Sometimes una go just dey use emotions jamtalk rubbish.... how many times dem don call Akeredolu bastard, Osun's Adeleke sons' bastards, Desmond Elliot bastard, Seyi Tinubu's children bastard, ...? ...with a keen eye on Peter Okoye's bastard treatment from his family for marrying Lola, who was there when he and his twin brother were absent.

The affinity to assume self-victimhood and guilt-trip others is ever surging with you guys.

Dishing out what you can't ever accept, through manipulation.

Oga leave what people are saying online and go meet her family one on one to know what is obtainable in their family.

When it gets to the stage of marriage, some of you will be looking for uneccessary excuses to disappoint.

For the years you have known her, a serious suitor would have gotten all the information needed, ready.

Aside trolling, you actually don't have sense and this is why all the men you come across don't take you seriously. Where did the OP mention his issue was the tribe or such. I just pity the people around you and your parents that would wake up to see their daughter being foolish and acting dull daily

Check for the following:
1. Is she a virgin? Like a virgin virgin. She's not been so much as kissed by another man.
2. Is she young? Below 24.
3. Is she from comfortable home. Doesn't come from poor and greedy parents.

If it's a yes for all three point, do anything to marry her. Get your money up and marry her.

If you can't get your money up to marry her Deceive her and get her pregnant. You will PAY a heavier price though.

Go and get your money up. If you do, you might not get the quality of girl you need as a man.

Men with money never find great wives.

Women with money don't make great wives.

It might not even be the bride price that would be the problem, the issue is that can you comfortably take care of her continously? Considering that you are a low budget person

Go and collect list first and see for yourself...

If she ticks all your boxes.. don't let that scare you.

When you get the list, do what you can.. there's no law that says you must do everything in the list... you have to negotiate, have the elders from your side assist.. they already know the drill..

But in all, make sure you pay the bride price first... typically families don't collect the full amount, like in my place what they normally do is , if the bride price is say 10k, the father of the lady will collect the 10k and return 9,500 or 9k depending, then telling the new inlaws his daughter is not for sale, they should take good care of his daughter.. he collected the 5h or 1k so he doesn't break away from tradition or for the new inlaw to think he is not happy.

So that's it.. also alittle secret here . If your pocket is shaking, before the d day, reason with your inlaw and they will help you do a background negotiating on their end, that will make things easier for your elders when they come to pay the bride price.

Cheers and good luck!!

IF SHE'S NOT A VIRGIN, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE AN HONORABLE WEDDING OR BRIDE PRICE.
EVEN ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, BRIDE PRICE SHOULD ONLY BE PAID ON DECENT AND CHASTE GIRLS...

If you can’t afford to marry her, you can’t!
Don’t indebt yourself just to marry a woman. It is a futile effort. If there is no way to make marrying her affordable, LEAVE!
Look for other women you can afford and meet your requirements. There are many of them out there. Your options are not limited, you are the one that limits your options.
