When was the last time you bought dollars? It is now $1 - 182 Naira as at last Friday. Sell to me if you have some selling at $1 - 172 naira.

You can imagine. Though I'm using the official rate which now stands at N177 to a $. Pity.

Oga Jona,

Naira is N172 to a frigging $.
Boko Haram is still saying 'Haram' to everything in their useless lives.
Constant electricity is a mirage.
Super Eagles couldn't qualify for a frigging Nations Cup
Corruption is still the order of the day.
Hospital workers are on strike. ASUU is warming up. Strike! Strike!! Strike!!!... Seems to be the only language you understand.
Indiscipline everywhere!

Well different tradition for different people. In my place when a guy pays for the woman's bride price the parents of the bride will return part of the money to the man and his family telling them that they are not selling their daughter but giving her out to him to help them in taking care of her.

OK. that's good. At least they still get to return part of the money. But some people.... NO WAY!

Nairaland should be given best sport forum if there's anything like that. The numbers of people 'watching' live football on Nairaland is appalling and can never be experienced in any other web forum in the world. Nigeria Vs Congo match hehn! the viewers reached a breaking record never seen on Nl.

Am not hating you because everybody has his/her understanding towards some issues. And you can call bride pride extortion, that's the way u see it. Bride price does not ascertain how the marriage will be like or whether the wife will be faithful or not. What am saying is that it's a traditional thing which is expected of any man that wants to take home a woman as his wife. Bride price does not guarantee a succeful marriage just as elaborate wedding won't. Since its a tradition that must be carried out which is expected of every man then why can't the man. He is not just doing it for the woman but for himself too. When u can't pay the bride price of the woman you're living with or you want to live with I wonder how you want people especially your age mate to see you. They will assume that you're a not upto the task. An age mate of yours can easily shut you up when a meeting is going, so many people will take you for granted and disrespect you because to them you are not a man yet because you failed to the necessary. Repect they say is reciprocal. Even sometimes the family of the woman can insult you. So to keep your diginity and prestige as a man you have to do what is expected of you. If you think that paying of bride price will determine how happy your marriage will be then am sorry to say that such a man that habours such thought is not yet ready for marriage. It's only the couples understanding, their level of maturity, the love that they have for each other and the grace of God that determines how happy the marriage will be.

OK.
But, what do you say to Yorubas that don't attach much values to bride pride? Does that mean a man is less responsible and a subject of ridicule amongst his mates?

2 weeks ago I started running Mobil 1 fully synthetic 5W30 paired with Mobil 1 extended performance filter. The sound of my 2008 honda accord has changed, the car runs much smoother and quieter. I have just done about 300 miles in 2 weeks with no short or anything. I plan to go one year or 8,000 miles, which ever comes first.

Bros go for Mobil 1 5W30 but I'd advice you pair it with a high performance filter

How much the oil plus the high performance filter? Thanks.

Has this car been repainted? I believe this is 96/97 model. I need it for a client. Can I do 400k cash next week?

Bad belle people who wont mind their frigging business. Whistleblower.. Smh.

Jennydoris:
To a large extent it does. In my side if a guy asks for your hand in marriage and for some reasons couldn't meet with the demand in bride price or attaining to the items on the list it's assumed that you're not fully a wife to him. In fact if anything should happen to the woman like the case of death.. The man must pay up every dime even in death. And in some town the wife is somehow not regarded as a full fledged Member of the umuada community because of the man's inability to complete with the bride price. As for having any value in the husband's life... Please do not allow any man to take your sister away without completing with the proper things. at least he should be able to complete every of the traditional right. Maybe not once but he has to. It's what is expected of him. When he has the money he can go for the wedding, it must not be an elaborate one. Except if you want your sister to live in pains all her life... When a guy can't pay up the necessary dues it calls for disrespect if not from the husband's family then maybe from the husband itself. some men can behave funny at times. A guy paying the complete bride price is the first respect she can give to the woman both in his home and outside his home.
Think of a woman that got pregnant and moved in with the guy without anything been done on her head. 10 out of 100 of such women have a happy home. Now tell me the difference between such women and the one that her pride price is not done or not completed and is living with the man.

I'm not against bride price or whatever traditional dues a man must pay. My question was if after paying the bride price and wife starts living with the husband, what assurance is there that the wife would for (1)- be dutiful and truthful to the husband? (2)- be a progressive wheel in the life of the husband and not be a clog? (3)- not send the husband to an early grave? We all know some women (if not most) do have caustic tongues, do live adulterous lives and even bring bastard children to their husbands. Not generalizing please. I've heard of a case where a husband found out two of his three children were not his!..... and this man paid the bride price o. Paying the bride price is traditionally OK, but what assertive impact does doing so have in the husband's life? Yoruba people would tell you their daughters are not for sale and the bride price returned. Why would they do this? They might do this because of some unforseen situations in the future.

Bride price, to me, is just like extortion in the name of traditional marriage. Please don't hate me

Olodo!

As long as the bride price is not more than 35k, no problem

Bride price doesn't really tell the expected value of a wife in the husband's life or in the marital home - does it
