True! And the groom focus on the set of boxes to fill up, bride price and wedding events

Yes.
But most families do give the bride the bride price. Same was done to my wife. Her father asked her to do as she wish with it.

Northern Nigeria is the only Region that produces food but their children still beg for food and die of kwashiokor ans Marasmus 😂

Big for nothing region have food but they cannot feed themselves because they are poor

The North own Nigeria and everything in it. The North decide who rule this Country. The North even decides who rule Eastern States as Governor.

The Governor's of Anambra, Enugu, Imo and Ebonyi were all install by North. The only one left is Abia Governor. And soon, we will coloby that one for corner grin

If southwest is talking, core north should not even tall because it's only cow business, banditry, kidnapping for Ransome and religious fanaticism you people know how to do there.

Almost everything good is below par in the north

The North is still one million times better than your red mud Region. That's why Igbo people are trooping to the North in search of peace and greener pastures.

Have you ever seen any Northerner who relocate to the East? It's not possible. Cause the place na zero grin

Penguin2:

He didn’t explain anything.

He just went on long vituperation instead of addressing the issue.

Why did he kneel to greet and shake the deputy governor but refused even a handshake from the governor neither did he kneel as he did for the deputy?

He has his biases and those biases informed that action but, of course, he won’t admit it.

He probably has corn 🌽 in Agbada😏

The North contribute over 45% to the Country's GDP via Agriculture alone. However, the East contribute ZERO. The East is actually the only Region that contribute ZERO to the exonomy.

Dangote is one of the stubborn demon holding this country. I wonder why God bless such a wicked man. People don't know this man personally. I remember when Obasanjo favoured this evil genius and he got rich through monopolization; built his cement factory at Kogi. Yet after years of doing so, with FG refusing to allow others import cement, this Fulani evil has refused to crash the price of cement. Then came the Dangote refinery. Who told you people that this Fulani animal would make the product affordable and quench the price increase?

See painment grin

Most marketers buy 33000 liters at once. One million liters would be over one billion naira.

Who is this guy looking to sell to? Cos I don't think he's selling to Nigerian marketers. Unless maybe major marketers.

But those ones will only turn around to sell to independent marketers who buy 33000 liters at once.

Middle man things 😂

The Marketer are refered to deport owners

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.
