You can't put your house together with your big IQ.

We'll help you out. We can't wait for the British that gave us Nigeria as heritage to start calling on us before we take the appropriate action.

So the sole administrator is a must for ndi Anambra

And you have put your house in order?
Lol..
Na shame no dey catch you..
Mr Administrator..

KillIgbohoNOW:
Igboho should be a real man & stop hiding like a coward!

So that your rampaging NITWIT brethren can kill him?

KillIgbohoNOW:
Sunday Igboho will not escape judgement that's all we know!
We will apprehend the cowardly terrorist soon.

Shut up

Praxis758:
Since none of the political parties in Anambra could mentally manage its affairs to choose a candidate to contest for governorship seat, we the Hause-Fulani caliphate from the core north had met and we have therefore resolved to send a SOLE ADMINISTRATOR to govern the state after the tenure of Obiano expires.

Parts of our resolution is that the sole administrator shall come from one of the core northern state and shall not be accountable to the ndi Anambra but Also Rock and the Caliphate.

The ndi Anambra would only shout, wail and protest against this decision, but we have the final say about any issue in the heritage bestowed on us by Allah through Usman Dan Fodio.

Go and feed your hungry Almajiri..
You want to render ANAMBRA,to the state your Low 1Q brethren have rendered Nigeria?

OGHENAOGIE:
church marriage is ceremonial... It's d white Man marriage... U can get certificate in Court...
Traditional marriage can be done without paying the achiac bride price tin

Church marriage is NOT ceremonial..
What exactly is your definition of ceremonial?
Have you been married in the Church before?
After your Church weddings..
You get issued a legally binding marriage certificate..
So what do you mean by it's CEREMONIAL?
Like I said,if you don't like the process of traditional marriage..
Stick to Court marriage..
Nobody carry gun,say you must do traditional marriage..

OGHENAOGIE:
traditional marriage is as important as church marriage.... Even though Church marriage is ceremonial... Bride price make women look like a commodity...

Traditional marriage is not a must..
Go have a Court marriage and be done with it..
Nobody will query you..
And Church marriage is not ceremonial..
You get issued with a marriage certificate..
Which is even more legally binding..

ibechris:
At retirement u will know if u are right or not.

Wait when pampass would be 10k.
Children Vaccines would be 10k
Milk would be 10k.

U better start reasoning now,the sleepness night men go through to assist their wife's can be frustrating and consuming at the same. Old age isn't good for nurturing children.
Time shall tell.

Leave all these stories.
They apply to the poor..
And you are more likely to raise your children in a poor state,if you marry early..
The ones that marry later,are most likely to be financially capable of giving their children a better upbringing..
Life is not mathematics..
Rushing to marry early when you are not financially comfortable,is a sure way
to misery and breakups..

dingbang:
So by 60, your kids will be entering uni? By that that you will be retired and not capable to support them in university.

Seems you have it all figured out?
Those wey born by 25 and come die by 30 nkọ?
Abeg leave matter for Mathias..
Life no be mathematics..

OGHENAOGIE:
scrap bribe price even if na one Naira

Nobody is forcing you to do traditional marriage..
Since you don't like the process..
Stick with your Church weddings..
With THAT..
All your problems are solved..

Sterope:
Do you know what eventually happened to Caesar? . Caesar had plenty knives though him right in the senate house floor exactly because of that.

Your Christ..
The one you have been on about what Christianity supports and doesn't support..
Said give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God..
And for your information..
Caesar is an INSTITUTION and not one person..

Sterope:
Your tradition has no place for pre marital sex yet you don't scream tradition when people engage in fornication. Your tradition has no place for Christianity yet you combine both. I am not sure but I don't think Christianity supports bride price.

.

What does Fornicating have to do with traditional marriage that you should equate the two?

What does Christianity have to do with traditional marriage?

Are you one of those holier than thou born agains..

Who think everything traditional is evil?

There are those who are not Christians..

Must they marry according to Christianity?

And there are MANY Christians who are married traditionally,without any church wedding..

Who exactly cares what Christianity supports?

I for one don't give a flying f@ck

elonmuskbaby:
but are pictures and presence of well wishers not enough to signify marriage happened as in the case of nkechi or could it mean she's lying about her bride price not being paid while still claiming that she did an Igbo traditional wedding?

Pictures and presence of well wishers are not enough..
The bride price is a ceremony on its own..
Without it,she or her people can claim the man never married her,in the future..
It doesn't even have to be done on the same day as the other ceremonies..
And her presence is not required..
So it's possible she didn't even know what exactly transpired..
Her people could have simply collected the money and then returned it back immediately to their in laws..
That is what usually transpires..

PrincessGlow:
Na lie. Most that started with just £20 never got back their footing back. It is those who went back to their previous wealth and boys who served them apprenticeship, who became the new wealthy

Which previous wealth?
The ones your people tagged abandoned property and stole?

ERockson:
Hospuppi can as well build this.

Where is his own?
Coulda,woulda,shoulda..

Sterope:
But your traditional wedding doesn't preclude from having sex before marriage though

The same way those going for church weddings are already NINE MONTHS pregnant..

Sterope:
Commencement of marriage can also be 'do you want to marry this man/woman?'

Yes..
In the church..
Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar..

elonmuskbaby:
so is it possible for a traditional marriage to hold and the Umunna will accept the fact that bride price will not be exchanged at the same time accept that the bride has been handed over to the groom to be his wife?

Payment of the bride price is SYMBOLIC..
It is what LITERALLY signifies the commencement of marriage..
Most fathers and Ụmụnna would rather accept the bride price and then RETURN it to the Groom's family..
To signify that they are not selling their daughters..
I am yet to hear of one where the bride price is not paid at all..
It connotes that no marriage happened in the first instance..

Sterope:
It would be inconceivable to your forefathers what this world has become. Why should it be inconceivable that a woman can have a proper marriage without bride price?

NOBODY is forcing her to have a traditional wedding..
She can as well go to the church and wed..
Or better still..
Let her go and have a court wedding..
That way..
Her FEMINIST IDEALS would protected..
As long as she's having a traditional wedding..
Some ceremonies are sacrosanct..
For TODAY..
YOU can't have a traditional wedding..
Without the payment of the bride price in Igboland..
I don't know about tomorrow..
But that is how it is TODAY..

emonis88:
B educated, all other rights r not just add-ons o!! The umunna price list can change, if d father and mother let go of somethings that r supposed to be their right , but u see d umunna own , e go complete o! D father can tell his inlaw to give him 10 naira for Bride price to show his in-laws dat his is not selling his daughter. It is symbolically dat he has paid d bride price, it is solely d perogative of the Father. It comes last after d umunna ve bn settled. After all u can't enter a man's compound jumping d fence , enter through the gate. Na thief dey jump fence.

Am not saying other ceremonies are not important..
But the point at which Marriage is recognized is after the payment of the bride price..

OGHENAOGIE:
then there should be groom Price

What exactly is your point?
You don't want bride price because of excessive costs and now you are talking about groom price?
You better stay one place and stop jumping all over the place..

One Chance..

Candidlady:
Nothing gives me joy than seeing this gender roast

Shut up

Maxymilliano:
The pot calling the kettle black

Is he also a Commissioner for Smelly Gutters?

OGHENAOGIE:
bride price and marriage list should be expunged completely... People should just gather and celebrate them contribute for them

Why should bride price be expunged?
In many Towns,the parents return the money after it has been paid or if can be as low as 5naira..
It is mostly symbolic..

PataAlhajaKeji:
I'm an advocate of feminism.

I'm a feminist too.

Women shouldn't be subjugated in the name of marriage.

As a matter of fact, women shouldn't change their surnames, all in the name of marriage.

I wish her a blissful married life.

She can as well stay in her father's house..

Then she won't have to change her name nor risk being subjugated to any man..

All in the name of marriage..

Marriage no be by force..

elonmuskbaby:
please what is Umunna and what is their function in the life of the bride and her family? What do they do in the Igbo wedding

Please enlighten me.sorry I'm not Igbo that's why I'm asking

The Ụmụnna is her immediate kindred..
In Igbo marriage rites,the marriage is between the man and the woman's kindred..
There is an extent to which she and her immediate family can be able to influence the Town's marriage customs..
Paying of the Bride Price is the symbolic act of MARRIAGE PROPER,every other rites are add ons..
So it's inconceivable that her bride price was not paid..

This Country done enter One Chance!
You must decamp by fire by force!
Useless set of THIEVES..
