1 crate star 1 crate guilder 1 crate harp 1 crate Heineken 2 carton malt 2 carton soft drink Seaman schnapps Kolanut Alligator pepper Refreshment for guest And 22 naira bride price.
The above is subject to different families. But the bride price remains the same |

colik: I've read a lot of amazing books but if I had to pick one it would have to be:
Maeve Binchy's Tara Road.
It's simply unforgettable. I have actually had that book for about 3 years now and still refused to read it. Don't know why. Now you've said it's unforgettable, I will pick it up. |

stevedre: Madam take it easy..... its optional not by force, just do the necessary bride price paying and leave the rest for latter. Most times the ladies are to blame, they want to arrive in grand style but end up waiting to their late thirties while waiting for a man who can afford to buy almost if not everything on the list.. Poor people in Imo are happily married with kids and they did not buy everything in the list and for the records, Its Igbo not Ibo, get that right please. Dude, you get my point. I concur. Most ladies are to blame. God bless you Sir |

janefrancisca: Madam impersonator, its IGBO and not IBO and secondly let me just assume you are an igbo person and have witnessed the bride price scenario, you should have known that most of those things especially the yams,palm oil,soaps,tin tomatoes etc are shared among the umu ndom (married women) in the community...dis is because in the Igbo tradition, it is believed that the family is not just the owner of a child, the community owns and trains the child too. Ndi amaala too are not left out to..So my dear, I will advise u to draw near to your roots before u turn to efulefu. Besides whatever happened to negotiation? the family doesn't expect the man to bring everything...he should negotiate, no b man im b? Impersonator or efulefu, according to you "madam oyibo" I repeat is it an IDP camp? Nah you win spelling bee for your time. The problem with us 'Igbo's abi nah IBO" is that we love to discriminate amongst ourselves. If you pay that kind of bride price in your place, no problem. Shey it is the village that will live with the husband and wife after the marriage bah? As far as I am concerned, any family that collects this in the name of umu ada and the rest does not have their daughter's child at heart. The girl that will even agree to it no follow sef. That is why most IMO ladies are either still single or marry outside their state. Haba!! What is it sef. For your imformation, I am an "IBO" lady and we dong demand a mini market in the name of bride price, negotiations or not. You are practically selling your child off. If you you still practice it in your place, no wahala. Practice away ma!!! |

ToriBlue: Its Igbo culture, if you don't want to marry, you use the door, no one is forcing you either. I am IBO biko and it is not my culture. Not everybody practices this nonsense. Nah IDP camp? |
