Your lying because Igbos don't cohabitate, yolobas don't know what marriage is all about that is why a 32years old man in yolobaland have divorced 3wives in less than 5years.

In Igboland marriage is like a cult, before you will dabble into marriage you will first of all check your self to know if you have sustainable source of income, the bride's family will love to know what your doing so that they will be sure their daughter didn't die of hunger, the groom family will evaluate the purse of their son trying to marriage evaluating what he had achieved as sinngle before dabbling into marriage.

In Igboland, marriage is not something you start today and conclude tomorrow, the families of the bride and groom will be doing their own consultations and they will be discusing the possibilities of a succesful marriage behind their wards.
Marriage in Igboland is totally different from that of the yolobas where 2sachets of Indomie and a bottle of Pepsi can easily fetch you a babymama, a yolobawife can have uncountable uncles who Bleep her from the backdoor while the hubby is allowed to go around fucking his uncle concubines.

Yolobas are yet to build an institution around marriage, to yolobas marriage is all comers affairs, come as you.
Hahaha...! I will leave the Yoruba people to give you a response. Obviously, you have been going around the Yoruba towns with a blindfold round your eyes. Marriage is a big deal among them. I have lost count of how much I spent on aso-ebi for Yoruba weddings last year, including the aso-oke for all my friend's weddings,

As for the lie you recycled here that Igbo do not co-habit, go to church and ask for forgiveness. My cashier Ngozi has been living with her boyfriend for the past 3 years, because her father says until the guy builds a house in their village for him, he cannot marry Ngozi.

When you are ready, I will take you to Ajegunle, Okokomaiko, Amuwo-Odofin and Ijora to see the cohabiting Igbo couples with your korokoro eyes!

She put in place the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) and Excess Crude Account (ECA) for savings above the benchmark price in spite of strong resistance from the opposition governors and in proactive anticipation of the rainy day such as we are in today. This hard working Minister of Finance who has been a stabilising force in the management of our economy must not be hounded out of office. She must be encouraged by all well-meaning Nigerians to stay on and finish the good work she is doing in laying solid foundation for our economy.

I know one woman that sold everything she had to train his only son, not having
a husband and earning less than thirty thousand naira as salary.
What she didnot do was stole.

The very first day the young man started work as engeneer was the Nyanya day and he died.

Whether he looks guilty is not the issue. The issue remains was he found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction? No. The standard under our criminal justice system favours the presumption of innocence on an accused person until a court of competent jurisdiction adjudges him guilty. Till then, he's innocent and an innocent person can sue for an abuse on his fundamental human rights.
Which dirty abuse? angry Which abuse of which 'fundamental human right?' He did NOT think of the fundamental human rights of his innocent victims, when he planned & executed the Nyanya bombing?? huh

And you think that the reason why the 80 years old man married late is because of bride price? Your reasoning is really poor!
There are many reason for that brother. i will tell you if you ask. Moreover, Yorubas dont marry. They co-habit.

I have lived in Asipa (Osun) and Ibadan, I am sure you know what I am talking about. Only few Lagos Yorubas marry. Others mainly impragnate a girl and take her in- without any marriage whatsoever. Worst still, the men hardly cater for the wife (particularly in Ibadan)

For an Ibo man, it is their duty to take care of their wife (The degree of the woman doesnt matter). So when an ibo man tarries to marry, it is not becouse of bride price but because he is not ready for marriage responsibilities which only few "wise yorubas" takes up after marriage.
Bros, you lie! I have attended plenty Yoruba weddings, oh! If you doubt, just watch Channels TV on Sunday and you will see many Yoruba weddings. Cohabitation is seriously frowned upon. Those who do it move far away from family and friends into other towns to do so and they get little or no support from family, when things go wrong! grin

I have seen Igbo couples co-habiting very well in Lagos. Go to A papa, Ajegunle, Okokomaiko, Ogudu, Amuwo Odofin if you doubt me.. cheesywink

The money a yoruba spends on owambe party and ashebi will mar. 5 igbo girls.

Quote me, I will show u evidence, enough of these misconceptions.

What are d things in igbo traditional list that people shout is expensive ? Goat, hen, kolanut, palmwine, beers, malts, hot drink, in some cases wrapper.

With 100k to 200k u can get all those items, compare to yoruba owambe wia u kill cow, cook rice, amala, ewedu, drinks, canopy, fuji musician, dj etc box full of gifts from Which she picks one, plus other marriage items.
What owambe party are you talking about? My Yoruba neighbours told me that the owambe party is paid for by the bride's family as they see it as a way to send off the daughter in style. It is only in recent times that the groom and his family might decide to chip in and sponsor part of the expenses, but it is not compulsory. The box of gifts used for the traditional wedding is usually coordinated solely by the bride and her friends. The gifts do not have to be expensive but they must look good and should be new.

In some cases, the bride just puts her old clothes at the bottom of the box and covers it up with new ones to give the impression that the entire box is filled with new stuff. Nobody checks it, they just point at it and say the gift is from the groom's family.

As for the rest, nobody asks for hen or cow. If they want to cook such things for the owambe, it is the headache of the bride's family. Not the groom. It is only if the bride's family cannot afford it or if the groom's guest list is double that of the bride, that the groom steps in out of a sense of honour to offer assistance, by bearing part of the expenses.

Before we start shouting Igbo this and Igbo that, has anyone ever seen these exhaustive lists? If it is that exorbitant, how do the poor igbo men get married?

I think people should appreciate other people's culture instead of crriticizing it. Some people get flogged over a hundred strokes of the cane, just to prove that the groom is man enough.

If you love your woman, you will go to any length to get her. Nothing is handed out freely in life. We pay with our blood to go to school and to be successful, but we want to pick our life partners on the street. Women have worth. They are very worthy of anything we pay or do, to get them.

I know some people are greedy. That's life. But to say that your wife doesn't cost you much, you really need to check what you are getting.

My friend got married to a Yoruba girl last xmas. He wanted a simple and quiet ceremony but his in-laws insisted that it must be loud, as this is their first daughter. The good news is that the in-laws are loaded. So 75% of the cost was borne by them. Great.

Human beings like good things. Good things cost money. They don't come cheap. If you want a free wife, go for it. Wives get levels. Mine cost me cash and I didn't even blink. Honestly, I bought twice whatever they asked for. That's how much I love my wife and appreciate the great job her parents did.
So in your opinion paying a huge bride price directly translates into getting a good wife. So character, humility, honesty, love, loyalty etc do not count anymore. The best way a man can know he is getting a good wife is by looking at the amount he paid as 'bride price.' As if paying a huge bride price, is a guarantee of future happiness! Hehehehe...wonders shall never cease!

Infinitikoncept:
this guy is a useless beast who reads all thread. If we post ideas here walahi he will just find a way round it.
I once tracked him but my sources told me he is in warri & he doesn't withdraw in the banking hall
moreover his account is always zero which means he withdraws immediately
What help can banks offer? They ask for people with proofs to pour in their complain to headquarters
This guy has a loophole which i biliv if anybody who can decipher my explanation above could guess to trap the thief
The banks can do a lot if they wish to help. All they need to do is to 'flag' his account. This is an internal system that allows him to receive funds into the account but does not allow him make a withdrawal without approval of the bank's managers, who will conduct detailed investigations before authorising the withdrawal. sad If they are convinced that the money got into his account via a scam, they will notify the Anti-Fraud unit of the police force. But very few banks are willing to do this. There needs to be a sustained activity to get them to enforce such measures.

It also prevents him from making withdrawals via ATM or internet platforms, once the account is under surveillance. undecided
