How can you claim to be a woman's Rights activist when you are still here supporting your tribe's archaic practices like selling women like property and also, quite frankly, insulting the personal agency of women and their ability to take responsibility for their own actions.

I bet your people traded you very well to your husband.
If there is one thing I will always laugh at, it's a feminist/WRH who allows herself to be traded like a thing to another person.
I just don't respect people who do not practice what they preach.

don't rub in my husband or family into your rant talk pls.
In Igbo Land, Women are not married cheaply because We Are Not Cheap.
Igbo Guys are not complaining, why will a Non-Igbo like you be having headache over Igbo bride price?
Who is forcing you to marry from Igbo land? Pls.
My hubby married me in a Rich way and I am proud of that because he knows my worth.
Is Gold gotten cheaply? You know the answer.

eflintsone:
this biafra talks came up cos i will not luv to see a fellow human languish in abject illiteracy all in the name of culture...wise up before its too late

you should be more concerned about people in IDP Camps in the North than Biafra issue.

eflintsone:
every culture on earth respect the living and the dead , and divorce is actually very low in nigeria not amongst the igbos , we all live and travel to places in this country ...do not sound like igbos have a unique practice ... i repeat that act is evil

if we are not unique, why are you having nightmares over Igbos?
LOLz.
We are a Unique and Beautiful People, Blessed by God.

eflintsone:
am sorry to say but this type of culture is the most stupid and cruel i have ever heard .... ugandans and kenyans are really learning..
the annoying part is you will find the igbos trying to justify such inhuman act calling it a culture.... i wonder how the biafra wil thrive mehn....una sannu una pele una doh

why do you guys love to rob in biafra in all your comments?. Is this nightmare or what?
It is our culture.
We love it.
WE ARE IGBOS. Proud and Bold.
if you don't like it, you know what to do at a transformer.

eflintsone:
to me its no sign of respect instead its pure disrespect , the living and the dead have no business together , at least if they ask the guy to pay for her burial arrangement then i think thats cool but paying dowry shows u r married to the dead, if this happens in another region u the igbos be the first to lay down insults , well its a down act

sorry, in Igbo Culture, we believe in Reincernation! Both the dead and living are respected.
You must pay a woman's dowry and bride price as a sign of respect to her, her family and community.
Igbos respect marriage institution, no wonder divorce is very low among Igbos.
We are not "marry today,divorce tomorrow" type of people.

fratermathy:
What do you mean by South South? Is that an ethnic group? Or you just assumed that all the 20+ ethnic groups in the South practice this?

oh you know now that south south is not an ethnic group?
Ok in ur urhobo, if a man is with a wife and they have kids without paying the dowry, if the woman dies, how do you people handle it? Bury her like that?

imitateMe:
Tradition is the passing of beliefs or behaviors from one generation to the next generation, whereas culture reflects the characteristics that describe a society at a particular time.
That is Igbo tradition, not culture. Kidnapping, fraud and husband-snatching are all Igbo culture, because they are trending among Igbos right now.

He is still delusionally dreaming of being President. Lwkmd. Okorocha go and check the meaning of NAIRA.

Ok. We are all Gods creation and beautiful in our own way.

I just wonder these couples that cheat in marriage. The rate of infidelity in marriages now is high.

Amarabae I sight you

lolz. Baba BMC. Carry go jare.
Truth be told, Wike is running an administration of the more you look, the less you see.
The man lack strategic developmental planning.
I remember when Amaechi came on board, Rivers felt a strategic administrative touch both in Education and Health even in Employment.
I got a job then in one of the health centres but I got married, abandoned it and joined my hubby in Abuja.
Amaechi tried Though he neglected my Oyigbo local government.
In administration, Amaechi is better than Wike.

"Never allow them to have control over their destiny"
REMEMBER THIS STATEMENT.

God Of Akwa Ibom!
WTF?
So irritating.

Whatever rocks their boats.


I aint touching any Igbo lady not even with a 100feet stick

.

Sorry we are NOT interested in your type nor losing sleep over it.

That is IGBO Culture, it is a sign of respect.
If you cohabit with a lady and both of you will have kids without the man paying her brideprice and marrying her officially in the traditional way.
If the lady dies, before she is buried, the husband will go to her place and pay her dowry and brideprice.

.

Lwkmd. Why are people having nightmares over this issue? Arable land ke, IDP Camp ni let us hear word. Igbos have made their firm decision, no amount of writeup will solve anything.

Hahahaha. Why can't herdsmen leave papa falae alone?where are his children?

And being a settler in Rivers does not make you an indigene.

Don't be afraid O Israel, your God will deliver you from Egypt.
Plagues will descend on Egypt,
Pharaoh will ask you to leave but will come after you to wipe you out.
Fear Not, Your God will crush them at the Red sea because the Egyptians that we see today, we shall see them no more!
The Darkest Hour comes before the Dawn.

Nawa o, uwa nka sef!

Nice one.
Igbos return home and built your homeland just like the jews did at the state of Israel.
