Of course, you can knock yourself out. It will be a shame if you are single and yet deem yourself qualified to have an opinion at all on matters such as this.

byvan03:
It's not really my job to convince you. Its ok to disregard my so called "shallow " opinion and move on.

Mindfulness:


And the funny thing is that any cultural practice MUST differ from any Western cultural practices, which makes Western cultural practices the yardstick after all.

What a paradox!

I want to see an American or a European say: "We have to do this and that so that we differ from Africans."

Mental slavery!


And the funniest thing of all is that Christianity was brought to these people by Westerners along with the gender roles and steeotypes which they are still clinging to.

Surprisingly guys are the one who want to uphold the practice of bride price. Even though they sometimes claim it is exorbitant.
And not surprisingly you're the ones who bring it up when you want mock women. "After I paid your bride price" bla bla bla. Most guys I've come across in this forum bring it up as avenue to mock women whenever the issues of equal treatment being discussed.

Does it take Einstein's IQ to deduce that the only reason why men want it continued is so that you can have something to hold over the woman for the rest of her life? Not that you care so much about culture. You only care about culture when it's the one that massages your egos and put women in a secondary position.

You and OP and the rest of you dudes should spare us your pseudo concern for 'our culture'. We know what you really care about. your fragile egos.

It can be done anyway that doesn't involve that disturbing list.

Just exchange a symbolic item, I have heard of a calabash as the bride price. It gets broken in front of the families to signify a divorce.

byvan03:
The couple should decide how much fanfare they desire without having to abide by any list.

byvan03:
I think the Fulani method of enduring several strokes of cane is more symbolic and significant. If you tell me that marriages instituted on this premise last longer, I will totally see why. No man will want to endure it more than once or twice. A mild version of "catching a grenade for ya" is symbolic enough, much more so than goats, yams, wrappers, kolanuts which eventually gets converted to money if the groom is coming from a far distance. Some demand gold, tricycles for the girl's generation including the grannies amongst them. What of the groom rendering a few years of service to his prospective father in law as bride price, won't that be more symbolic?

byvan03:
Yes, why?

byvan03:
"Unclad wisdom" really? I can't even begin to punch holes on their "Unclad wisdom", too tired for that. The only thing returned is the token monetary price, what happens to every other thing on the list which they also accepted in cash or material? Why should the father be appeased? A culture mostly driven by greed and too much want. My opinion is born out of careful consideration and not prevailing circumstance. What do you think about the entire list being scrapped and the token itself which is always between 5-20k maintained? Don't you think it will make the process less commercial?

I won't degrade myself to exchange words with you.

Fabulocity:
Go through the post very well. It wasn't written to spite or demean Nigerian guys.
Stop jumping into conclusions

Stupedinluv:
All those shameless girls who voted a boy that calls every random girl a bîtch, y' all are a fvcking disgrace to womanhood. You have no self respect or pride in you.

Like they say, stupidd people may forget but the internet never forgets.
