The best part is peace in the home.

Hopefully families can have unity and love with such cultures. It should not be one sided, with the man bearing the whole responsibility.
Cheers bro.
Yes. It's all about peace. And I tell you for sure. Things like this brings peace in the marriage.

All these from your family purse or your husband contributed?
My Wife's father bought almost everything. The mom bought all cooking utensils. That's what tradition demands for them.

The idea is this. Without knowing the full financial status of the groom, they want their daughter to be comfortable in n her husband's house. As for the cooking utensils, you know most bachelors only have few plates, few cutleries.

But as he gets married, his wife will need complete Kitchen utensils. There are even times that, she might need bigger pots to cook in the house. Maybe they are hosting friends or families for a birthday occasion or anything that calls for celebration.

She won't need to go borrow those stuffs like big pots, mortar, big bowls, big trays etc. The mom will provide everything during the marriage.

Another reason for this is that. Some men are fun of having querells with their wife's every now and then. They will call the woman names. They mostly tell her to pack her bag and leave his house. That she didn't even bring anything to the house when he married her. Some will even claimed that,he picked her from the gutter and wretched. But with things like this, every groom will have some respect for his wife to some extent.

It's common with the Northerners. The girls family may be wealthy but personally, i don't like it.

Always best to avoid your inlaws feeding you people or providing things for you people. That's the fastest way to lose your respect and status as the head of the home.

Marrying into a rich home in Nigeria as a man is not as romantic as most people think it is.
You are wrong. What you wrote is far from the reason. It is actually a tradition in the North. Common people do it for their daughters who is getting married too. Even the bride price, most families give it to the bride to do whatever she wants with it.

All northern marriages? Even shoe makers family?

Buying expensive gifts for tje bride are done by rich families in all tribes.
Yes they do in all Northern marriages. Did you noticed that, during those mass marriages that are conducted in Kano. Do you notice that the Government provided sets of Couch, bed, wardrobe, make-up mirrors plus kitchen stuffs.

The government provided those stuffs to each bride, since the Government was responsible for the marriages

Note: Both Northern Christians and Northern Muslims do this. It's a Northern tradition.

Bros abeg who rent house? Na you abi in-laws?
As e be so the man no get wahala again.

It’s very beautiful. It shows complete acceptance of the man. It shows the bride’s family is not poor and willing to assist when challenges come.
Most of the things my wife brought are still in their cartons. They are kept in the Store in my house. Cause I have almost everything in my house before I married her. But the executive Chairs she brought is the one we are using in the living room now. And we are also using almost all the Kitchen stuffs she brought

That's why when you enter North, you will see Furniture makers, make sets of beds, executive Chairs, center table, wardrobe, make-up mirrors etc. They make them in sets. They don't sell one except the entire sets.

They actually make them for sale to brides families. Thats why funiture makers in the North make money. People patronise them regularly for this purpose.

While common People patronise Nigerian made furnitures, the rich go for imported furnitures.

These are federal Roads

1. This means that more people in the top states have access to roads than other states. Alot of people in those states ranking low will need to travel several kilometers on untarred roads before getting to a tarred road.

2. It means that these states are the most interconnected states and they most likely have the highest population density.

3. It's means that on percapita basis, citizens of these states have better roads connectivity than others.
Small nyash dey shake oo grin grin
. This people are trying to give themselves hope. Kaduna alone is bigger than all the 5 South East States including all the Towns and forest in the Region. Kaduna also have better Roads infrastructures than the entire East

Yet, no one dey make mouth for North. But one Region wey never see Julius Begger, Dantata Sawoe or any major Road construction company. Na them dey hail themselves online. grin grin

I'm not surprised, most brides fathers that have money do alot for their daughters and those that don't have will always panic when their daughter is about to wed.
In the North,it is a thing of pride to arrange household stuffs for any bride. Infact, that is one of the most important part of the marriage. Most Aunt's and friends of the brides mom will come around to see what and what they bought for their daughter that'd getting married.

No family joke with that aspect of marriage rights

This is normal in Northern marriages. It's not new to me.
You are right. This is a must in all Northern marriages. During my marriage, my wife came with a set of executive Chairs, a 50 inches smart tv, two deep freezers, a massive family bed with it's mattress, makeup mirror,2 sets of AC, wordrope and all Kitchen utensils including a cooker.

does it appear to you that the policemen in that video are sane, from what they are sayinghuh

The man being videoed stated he's a soldier,also the dagger he's holding is military issued ,did it occur to you they could have attempted to do to him what the Nigerian police at good at doing to innocent civilians, but when they realized hes a soldier they back pedalled

That setting looks like a police station to me, you see DPo with his big bele wearing jalamia being advised to step back, make the crazy guy no burst him nele with 2 ft long dagger 🗡️😂😂


It's obvious the Nigerian police have done something wrong to warrant such outburst from that guy, otherwise na 2 seconds before those policemen for end him life and tag him terrorists, however I think this happened in the north, of na south, otilorrrrrr
You are right. It's actually a Police station

Chicken, goat, sheep and subsistence farming is a must. What they eat, they cultivate. Just few things they buy from the market.

My Mom raises chicken too...she is over 70yrs old. She said when people were complaining that chicken was N15k...she just killed two and cooked. She lives alone, and she is as hardworking as any young person. She even planted cassava in the backyard, and harvested it to make both garri and pap. The problem with initiative is...some people have it, some don't. The only thing some people are great at...is complaining and blaming everyone else. Your solution is AROUND you. Mind you, my Mom does not need to do all these...I don't even want her to do all these, but if i give her funds, she would rather bless others. I also do my best to help those that can't help themselves like orphans. It is a new week...make up your mind to change your own life. The Govt would not do it for you.
Your mom is a great Woman

Seeing the work that goes into producing the foods we eat, one cannot but respect farmers more and appreciate every single farm produce.

I mean, WOAH! I'm impressed.

Also, there's no need for one to "mistake it as foreign rice", it is good enough as it is, as long as there are no stones in it.
Plus, unpolished rice is more nutritious.


Nlfpmod come and see something o!
True talk. Alot of work go through the farming and processing the food we eat

As a Farmer who farm Rice in commercial quantity, I don't buy rice. I process the Rice I eat in my house. This same process is used to process some of the Rice that are packages and sold as foreign Rice.
