That ll only happen to an insecure lady. If a man is rich enough to do it, why not? But if a man is not financially stable to pay a bride price , there is no point period. If a lady loves a man, d least thing in her mind is bride price.

All she ll be looking forward to is to spend every passing seconds with him. Marriage is being overrated in Africa cos africans attached unnecessary importance to it. You are all like this course of your society has made you to believe that marriage or bride price is necessary. Let me ask you dis question, do u eat LIZARD as a Nigerian? I presume your answer to be No. Why was your answer No? Cos you have been brought up in a society where it's forbidden or sold as a cause of epilepsy but go to part of China today, it's like our bush meat to them.

It's your society that makes you think that bride price must be paid or marriage is a form of security to a lady.

Check around you and see how marriage are collapsing at every passing seconds, were d bride prices not paid? How does a marriage certificates save failing marriages? My dear, there is much to marriage than all these petty things

GentleToks:
Alright Sir, I ll. Cheers.

But before I go, I m not saying that bride price is not necessary as an African man but my point is that d moment a woman choose to use bride price as an excuse for a repulsive attitude. .............

GentleToks:
Thank you sir for that explanation. Every bit of your words was clearly understood but I still maintain my stand that bride price are only celebrated among the poor.

The first paragraph of your post is quite hilarious my friend, really!! who talks about bride price this day? I can't just imagine myself sitting among friends who ll think the next thing to waste our time on is bride price topic when our age group are somewhere making their millions and billions. Bride price could only be an interesting topic among the illiterates not d educated ones. You know what, the reason why u believed in all these norms is because you re an African man. Supposing you re born in western world, you ll see things from different perspective.


My brother, there are fathers who will never take bride price cos they see it from d perspective of their daughters being sold.

sambisa5:
i see u really need a change of mindset...no father will ever be happy with u for taking his daughter for granted.....no woman will ever be happy with her self and man,,,if while in the midst of other women,,everybody's bride price has been paid except hers.....even your children will never be happy with their father anytime others refer to them as illegitimate children(children whose parents are not married).

U said there is no curse anywhere,,,,,i just dey laugh,,,,

God said leave your father and mother and cleave to ur wife,,,,you won just cleave to any woman u see on the way,,,you will need her father's approval -THAT APPROVAL IS THE BRIDE PRICE.

If u think the approval is not the bride price,,, then keep a woman in ur house for free,,,THE DAY SHE DIES,HER FATHER AND FAMILY WILL MAKE SURE YOU PAY HER BRIDE PRICE BEFORE SHE IS ALLOWED TO BE BURIED AND OF COS BEFORE YOU CAN BE SET FREE,,that will be hell for u cos u will wish u have paid it while she was alive,,,,,

as a father,,,will u be happy, if a man just surface from no where and said he doesn't believe in bride price,,so he wants ur daughter to live with him and b producing children for free,,
(lets not talk about the amount u spent on her in her preschool,pry,secondary n university education)....

i hope u will be happy to see ur daugthers produce children for free for other men because u are a father christmas dashing daughters out as free gifts (GOOD SAMARITHAN)

Wake up dear,,,,,,bride price is dam neccessary...

icedbeatz:
lolzz hahahhahhahhaha #RealTalk though those kind of guys are defined as PUCCI WHIPPED GUYS.. a guy in his right respects, loves, adores his lady when she deserves to be treated so but when she fks up u calmly call her to order but if she plays deaf or acts like an animal /bitcch then by ALL MEANS give her the animal treatment ...... it's simple, EVERY ACTION RESULTS TO EQUAL REACTION ...

unless they resort to juju to control their husbands abi puppets (thank my God will always be there for me and my momma can pray like Daaaaaaaaaamn)

logica:
Indeed I fear for the single girls of today. I will advise them to retrace their steps to their fathers or men in their families and get close to them. If they can develop love for the men in their families (which they obviously lack), they will be able to extend it to men outside.

Owliver:
are you 15yrs old or what How could you say such hahahahahahahaha *lmao happy sunday

ENDTIMES:
Even if you date someone for 20 years it doesn't give you any right over him.

Don't date anyone hoping he will marry you, whether Igbo, hausa or Yoruba. If you can't date him except he must marry you, then wait for him to propose before you "date" him.

A sweet Marriage is one built on love and fear of God. But it is sweetest if in addition to these, both partners are also from the same tribe or even town. I'm a living witness.

pastorKosiso:
You are not Igbo so I don't expect you to support them and besides not everyone you see following a man is an Igbo...e fit be you

FxDuke:
toasting does not work on ladies, just have riches and they will jump on you...all these toastings is like pouring water inside a basket continously to make it get filled up. they are all the same whether religious or nonreligious. mind you i have sisters and a mother too. there is nothing like true love trust i have been there before.

kelvin100:
I've come to a conclusion that all these attacks are to forbid Igbos from marrying from within.

Why would others want to marry Igbos?

An Igbo man would very likely going to be a middle class income earner and they are reputed to adore and lavish affection on their wives? Which girl wouldn't want that?

An Igbo woman is reputed to be beautiful, loving, very hardworking and supportive of her husband financially. Most importantly, an Igbo woman is less likely to cheat and less likely to divorce than most others. Which man wouldn't want that?

Now they all want us to abandon our own so they would profit from our good traits.

Lie Lie!

pastorKosiso:
Igbo women are faithful even until death. They don't cheat anyhow because they value marriage and relationship....

nzeobi:
We prefer people who understand us better. Nobody will marry from a tribe that will using his hard earned money for owambe and stuffs like that.

musiwa97:
You are old fashion, what is wrong for a woman to make the move.

What she did is beautiful.
I tell you the truth, she love the man

musiwa97:
Why can't you do that, I will not date you, because you are money motivated.

tmodeltoluene:
No but she asked me out on a date. It was in an eatery .....we were abt leaving when sHe held my hands so tightly and shivering in her voice..........
She said baby..............bla bla bla..............
So my response was yes

I never knew she broght ring..I watched her insert
D ring on my finger..we kissed and left..that night was d most sexy night of my life.....we had s*x all night.


Lesson for ladies: 99% of guys will never reject d proposal. Because guys will see it As great opportunity to satisfy their sexual need.and at d end of it all d guy will ask ' did I propose to u?

badassProdigy:
u garrit it...

tmodeltoluene:
Very Very earnest

tmodeltoluene:
Which hope....during our relationship then, it was as if d gal just enforced herself on me.and whenever we had little problem, i always had d thinking that I didn't propose to her though.d fact that I didnt propose to her but she did propose to me always made me feel that she trapped me...until d relationship broke up

Ladies please stop proposing to guys its not your duty... It is not feasible... It doesn't last

tmodeltoluene:
It has happened to me before... It won't last

badassProdigy:
when d guy is not doing dat...
