E shock this one.

JOACHINpedro:
Me I don't even know

Where did you get it from then?

Thought you know the answer

Some have already started defending them.

Had this been 3 south east states,this would have entered 3 pages.

Nigerians have redefined the meaning of patriotism.

Ihedioha and okorocha will be laughing at this man.

He thought he can do politics of exclusion.
See how fulani is using his head.


By the time they finish with him, all his kinsmen will flee imo state.

Uzodinma, hope you will be in imo state after your tenure?
Imo people will never forget.

crackhaus:
This is nothing but the truth.

I read a good portion of the thread in offline mode and I couldn't help but notice that a lot of people failed to address that part in your post.

As far a I know, no elder can make outrageous demands from a prospective husband if the bride's parents (or whomever stands as parents) refuse it.

The idiot boy who brought this out on social media doesn't even know he has exposed himself.
It's only a poor family or a greedy family (or both) that will allow these so-called elders to demand 300k as bride price.

Happy Easter


Yeah, I tend to speak a lot about this bride price issue anytime I'm online and it's been discussed to my fellow babes.
There is no place in igboland that constitutionally( yeah, they all have written constitutions and babes don't ask to see it) will ask for all these so called outrageous bride price and what have you.
Girls keep on setting standards and this is what we have.

It was a very poor family.
The guy wasn't happy they milked the inlaw and it might constitute a problem later for his sis but how much his mum was given and he didn't get any
Mind you, the one given to mum is not officially hers. She has her own outrageous list.

Shame on them. Poverty is a disease.

What is really going on in this country?

And the wife was looking on for 5 good years
I guess she prefers the title Mrs than being a mother.

Okoroawusa:
Thank you for this. All these fake stories that they formulate online just to trend.
My ex-wife's bride price was #5,000. On the day of payment, after collecting the money,her father gave back my father #4,000 then gave her elder brother #500 then kept #500 for himself.

Sorry it didn't work for you two.

Ishilove:
Literal or metaphorical white horse?

You should know what I mean by that.

You are a lady.

sisisioge:


Since it has been established that the price is a must-pay, na to just create the smallest baseline. In fact, if its possible to have a unify amount that cuts across board, the better. You guys will just pay it like tax...issue resolved

Bride price is 6 naira. That is what will be giving to you when you go to customary court for dissolution of marriage.

Ordinarily, one don't pay bride price. Like in mine, my husband's family was given back the money and they took like 10% of it. This popular adage was used to conclude it. "You no dey marry woman finish for one day" In other words, as you give back that money, you open up a relationship which says our daughter is giving to you guys to just take care of and a symbiotic union formed.


Any body that goes contrary to what is written in their constitution has herself to blame.

Well, I don't know about some other igboland but where I came from and it's environs, marriage is very cheap. Very very cheap. And these I have attended are the same.

sisisioge:
My brother, I'm not trying to start a war or be offensive in anyway, just wondering why it's like that. I love the part of the culture that appeals to me and have great friends plus a sister of the Igbo decend o...was just curious why people one hardly know would have so much authority on one's wedding. That's all.

They don't have any authority except the one given to them by the bride and her family.
And this is an outrageous bride price.
Have never heard of this crazy thing before.

Would be brides instead of protecting and shielding their prospective husbands from wolves, tend to exaggerate and make the guy look like a president before her family which then extend to the greedy elders through gossips and that's why you have this nonsense.

The guy in question always rode on white horse when visiting.
After marriage, na the babe go hear am. When problem arise, those wey chop money will tell her straight away they are not ready to vomit.

ImaIma1:
Maybe she wanted to bond with her MIL, meanwhile the MIL wanted her to start doing chores.

See finish is a problem with inlaws. If she had stayed in her house, no one will call her disrespectful. She should only follow her bf when he's going there.

You will bond when you marry. Don't be in a haste.
She and so many like her don't know that.
Even when you marry me and have siblings younger than me, I ain't washing nothing.
Never ever start what you can't finish.
U will live to regret it.

That guy should buy washing machine to solve the problem .
Chikena

All through Nigeria, people have paid exorbitant pride price both in gold, expensive wrappers, cows, money, drums of kaikai etc.
Done to.es when you convert those things to money, that's really huge sum.

Wonder why igbo is always the problem though I think this very family is very poor. How will they sell their sis like cow?
And the kinsmen shouldn't share that money. Strictly for her family. They have ùmùnna stuff.


Maybe na Abuja kinda marriage.

3000k
Mbok


Is she a commodity?


What kind of outrageous bride price is this?

ImaIma1:
Shebi your girlfriend should have just sat down in her own house jeje. Now your mother is expecting her to wash her clothes to show that she's a wife material. Meanwhile you have younger ones.

What are the younger ones doing when your mum is washing? Why can't she call them to come and wash the clothes. Should your mum even be washing when she has children there. But she is not calling her own children disrespectful. It is your fiancée she wants to drag.

Let your fiancée to make herself scarce to avoid see finish.

I blame the desperate girl who want to marry by all means.
Eye service has killed many young marriages cos u will start hearing stuffs like" she or he changed after marriage
Mbok.


Why will I visit the mum in the first place?
Don't I have self respect?
Visit with your guy officially and go your way.
The way you present yourself is how you will be treated.
Full stop.

If I know that babe, I will advice her not t marry you.
Can't deal with mommy's boy.

Cousin9999:
Sweet-sour, but quite sweet.

Will get and try it.
Thanks

Cousin9999:
Eating some tamarind (awin/icheku). Usually eat the asian candied version, but today it's raw, and fabulous.

Never know icheku is tamarind.

We learn everyday.

Is this one sweet like our own icheku?


It's the stem that's used as chewing stick, right?
Sometimes, the inside is red.

There is no tooth paste that is as effective as that stem. I think it has antibacterial and antifungal properties
I wonder how they discovered it.
If you have blisters or plaque, they will tell you to chew the stem. Don't know why we don't commercialize these gems.

seunmsg:
They won’t say anything now. When the military hits back, they will start making noise all over the place.

They don't need your sympathy.

UsmanFodio:
No, Uzodimma brought this unrest to his state. Look at how Okezie and Ugwuanyi is doing their work underground without coming to the news to tell everyone.

The main act that provoked this groups (Unknown Gun Men) is when Uzodimma said he invited the Military

In his quest to please those who brought him to power, he betrayed his people.
Look at the north and what's happening there yet the governors still create channels to dialogue with these rogues and the military is kept where they should be.

Rather in imo, a governor is proudly saying he invited the military to kill his people. Even rochas in his madness will not go this far.

Nigeria is suffering from deadly unrest everywhere and each man is codedly protecting his home.

Our own is inviting the enemy to our home.

Since I was young, the South East has been the Nigerian police milking ground legally. Such don't happen in the north. They will only milk our people in the north and leave the northerners. People are so fed up. Thanks to social media awareness.

The inequality in governance and reaping dividends of one Nigeria is sickening.

neonbash0:
Will it make you happy? Fulfill your deranged fantasy that everyone in Nigeria has never travelled abroad and or some weren't born abroad or that some are not biracial??

You need to get out more to realize that lots of young foreign born Nigerians are returning home to Nigeria to set up, reinvent or try out new ideas. Nothing wrong with that. I promise �

No, the numbers returning home have reduced drastically and the numbers traveling out tripled.
All these info is in immigration office.

Not hidden.

AwesomeStormy00:
Boris Johnson had covid last year he was treated in a public hospital. Nhs hospital shared the same wards with normal citizens.

Look at the vaccination he got his last week or two weeks ago he didnt jump the queue. But in naija president politicians are first in line before the poor pensioners in rural areas villages. Is that a country

There was a viral video I saw on YouTube few months ago.
Boris went to his favourite neighbourhood store to pick up some stuffs like you and . You need to see this bicycle.
Let me see if I can get that video.

Untill we have mentality half like this, we will never be great. Inferiority complex will always be our drive force.
