RomanceMarrying From Tiv: Check Their Marriage Requirements. by Fmartin(op): 9:08pm On May 02, 2016
Traditional Marriage In Tiv Requires You To Take The Steps Below


1. After the groom’s first visit with few of his family members to his in-laws place, he is then expected to come back officially for the introduction.

2. While coming at this time along with his people, he is required to bring a bottle of wine and hot drinks, with bag of salt and bush meat if the bride’s family request for that.


3. At the introduction, both families chooses a date for the traditional wedding and then the groom’s family is provided with the full list of things to be provided for the wedding day.


4. According to their culture, the male and female members of the bride’s family are separated in two rooms while the groom along with his own family members are asked to join the bride’s male families in the room to discus the dowry and the payment.


5. When this is done and the bride price paid, the woman is then asked to come and show her fathers (all the elderly men in her family) the man she wishes to marry by giving him a drink just like it’s practiced in Igboland.


6. After this is done and while the female members of the bride’s family are still in the room, the girl then takes her man to them there where she is given some advice by her mothers in the room.


7. Though not mandatory, the youths of the bride’s family usually demand some money from the groom which he may find one way or the other to dodge or give them whatever he feels like; mere protocols at times!


8. When the traditional rites are done with and fully observed, the groom’s family are then treated to their traditional musics/dance and this process is called “kwase kuhwam” this is mostly common if they are both Tiv people.

These are just few basic requirements for marrying a Tiv lady. Though with a rich tradition, their simple ways of life often go a long way in making the otherwise expensive requirements look so simple and easy to fulfill.
Not to be overlook also, is the flexibility of marrying a Tiv woman. Most of their items on the list are negotiable and could be substituted with cash easily. As if keeping the best for the last, guess how much an average Tiv bride price is?

Well, while you are thinking about that, take your little time to acquaint yourself with the detailed list of their traditional marriage requirements first.

For the father you are expected to provide the following:

1. Pig
2. Azenga (cowries)
3.Matches
4. Local gin and some cash which is usually meant for the replacement of the drinks in case it finishes soon.


Then for the mother you are to bring items such as as:
1. Chair
2. Table
3. Necklace
4. Broom
5. Basin
6. Mat
7. Wheelbarrow
8. Bush meat
9. Salt
10. Palm oil
11. Mudu, (Bowl) for measuring things
12. Umbrella and soft drinks.


Then for the bride price, you are expected to part with a large sum of N40,000 or less! But hey, when it comes to beauty and homely female folks, the Benue people has them.

Nairaland GeneralCar Conveying Wedding Gifts Mysteriously Burst Into Flames. (photos) by Fmartin(op): 4:48pm On May 02, 2016
There was confusion yesterday in Makurdi, Benue State as a station wagon car carrying wedding gifts suddenly bursted into flames.


The car mysteriously caught fire just behind the fence of the Benue State University Medical School shortly after leaving the wedding reception held at a staff club situated within the institution.

Both the car and gifts burnt to ashes however there were no human casualties.


As at press time, there was no known cause of the inferno.

The blame should go to sen. Akume.

He brought in an effigy as governor.

We were really angry with PDP and were ready to vote any APC candidate.

Hon. Emmanuel Jime was our preferred candidate.

Jokes EtcDamn Hilarious!!!! ;D by Fmartin(op): 8:35pm On Apr 30, 2016
A little boy was at a house party with his parents when suddenly he asked his mom, "Mom, where do babies come from?"


Shocked, the mom replied, "Go ask your dad."

So the little boy went to his father and asked, "Dad, where do babies come from?"


Shocked, the father said, Go to your grandma."

So this went on and on until finally, he came to his mother again.

Out of breath, the boy asked, "Mom, I'm really tired from running around all day... please, just tell me, where do babies come from?!"


Giving up, the mother replied, "Well, when your dad and I got married, we really wanted a boy so we took a seed and placed it under a rock under a tree and prayed really hard for a boy...
So the next morning, you were there.


Satisfied with the answer, the little boy wanted to try this for a little boy too. So that night, he took a seed and placed it under a rock under a tree, went to bed and prayed really hard for a little boy for himself.


The next morning, he jumped out of bed and ran to the tree. Angry and disgusted to see a frog on the rock, he picked up the frog and said to it, "Listen here son, you tell no one... I repeat, no one that I'm your dad!" grin grin grin grin grin grin

RomancePls Help: She Don't Want My Female Friend To Visit Me. by Fmartin(op): 7:24am On Apr 30, 2016
Hello everybody. I hav an issue at hand.

There is this girl that was my girlfriend. But when i realized she was HIV/AIDS positive, i divert the relationship into a platonic one so that she shouldnt feel bein stigmatize.

She is abt graduating nw. So she ask me to help her write her project which i accepted.

Now am done wit d with d project and i called her on phone to come nd collect it. because,

1. I'm always busy and wont b able to deliver it to her.

2. Where she stays is some miles away.

So, i called one of my friend to accompany her since she hv nt being to my house before.

To prevent any side effect of her visit on my relationship with another girl, i explain tins to this babe telling her that am gonna hv a female visitor.

I explain to her how my relationship with the visitor is platonic and that my friend is gonna come with her.

To my suprise, she never trusted me and threaten that she dnt want to see any female visitor.that she wil cause comotion if d girl show up.

Ops!

If nt because of some corrections to be my make on the project, my friend would hv deliver the work.

What do i do nw?
Was i wrong fr telling my bae that am gonna hv a female visitor?

I need ur advice pls.
