Here are ten ways you can tell that you have found someone who really knows how to love you.

1. They will love you without condition.



Real love comes without any expectations. You don’t have anything to prove, nothing to win. Yes, at the beginning of a love affair, you’re trying to entice and impress each other, but as time goes on there’s no need to perform in order to make love last.

2. They will listen — really listen.

This is a big one. Real listening means that you throw your own agenda out the window and really absorb what the person is saying, without judgment. It’s not always easy to do, but truly loving someone means being able to be there for them through thick and thin, and being a good, empathetic confidant.

3. They will love you for who you are, not an idealized version of what they want a partner to be.

4. They will give you space.

At the beginning of a relationship, it’s normal to be inseparable, to want to do every last thing together. But there comes a point where each partner needs some space. When and how this happens varies from person to person and one relationship to another.

But since real love means letting your partner be his or herself, you need to respect your partner’s need for independence and the autonomy to sometimes do things without you.

5. They will fight for you.

When you’re having a down-and-out day, your partner will be the first one to remind you how incredibly awesome you are. Your partner will be your biggest defender against conflicts with others. They will remind you of the strength you forgot you had, and give you the fighting words when you’re too upset to find them yourself.

6. They will hang on during the storms.

Conflicts in relationships are natural, but when left to fester they can destroy relationships. Fighting is normal, and healthy. Fights are opportunities to work through stuff. But someone who truly loves you will never stay angry. He or she will work through the anger to get to the other side — that other side being a deeper understanding and mutual respect.

7. They will admit when they’re being a jerk.

Someone who never admits when he or she has made a mistake isn’t going to be able to love authentically. Loving means being vulnerable, and owning it when you’ve been a bona fide schmuck.

8. They will call you out on your bullsh*t.

9. They will make you feel beautiful.

10. They will make you feel safe.

It goes without saying that a partner who’s physically or verbally abusive needs to be kicked to the curb. But all partners should give you a sense of safety. Usually it’s a pretty intuitive thing. You just know when you can trust someone, and this is solidified when they demonstrate that trust to you throughout the relationship.

Finding someone who loves you doesn’t mean your relationship will be without bumps. There are no perfect people or relationships — knowing and accepting that is half the battle.

mysticgal:
I think it depends on the community or family , from the extended or nuclear family I come from, Bride price is 50 naira, maybe they will ask for a sum but all the family must take is 50 naira .then the guy will use the rest and take care of the girl.
Then, you will bring 20 yams, 2 kegs of palm wine, or 2 crates of malt and a small basket of fish.
Then for the umuada, they ask for some bars of green Soap, salt, Maggi, geisha and bread (hungry people tho )


From all I am saying is that, in my family, you spend less than 100k plus the fact that it is a rule in my extended and nuclear family that, the brides family must handle everything about the trad wedding while the man handles or sponsor the white wedding.
I am proud to come from the nna** family

Am glad to know there are some who are considerate

MUVA:
There's gotta be a reason for the exorbitant dowry right? I just cropped up one.

MUVA:

That first pic is hilarious!!! Is the lady starting a super mart or what? My village list is quite sizeable, but not up to that in the first pic.


Anyway, Igbo women are jewels, they are very well groomed and brought up so that's probably why tradition put so much value on them. I love my igbo women to death!

Which tribe is fake pls?

Eastern brides are said to be the most expensive brides in Nigeria, in terms of what is reportedly demanded of the potential groom in the ‘list’



In terms of what it takes to take a bride from any of the eastern states in Nigeria, it is said to not be a walk in the park. The Igbo tribe take pride in their daughters and don’t hesitate to show any potential suitor how ‘highly rated’ she is.

The Igbo bride’s traditional wedding list is probably one of the most discussed topics whenever a man indicates interest in taking an Igbo wife.


A groom was reportedly asked to buy the following items in the picture below, for him to be able to take a wife from the Afikpo area of Ebonyi state

“it is called Nvunvu, a traditional marriage rite performed by an intended groom, mostly done by the Afikpo people in Ebonyi State”.

The Igbos also perform a tradition called ‘idu uno‘ where a bride is sent forth from her parents’ house to her new home. She is given lots of gifts consisting mostly of items she’ll need to make her home.

She gets items like refrigerator, brooms, mortar/pestle, gas cooker, pots and pans e.t.c, especially if her family can afford it.

Here is a picture of a bride with her ‘idu uno’ gifts:

Love story

You have an issue with love?

It’s MAKE it or BREAK it time.

You know that sagging, awful feeling in the pit of your gut that things “aren’t quite right” with your relationship? Well it’s time to get cracking at that right now. Here are 13 signs that your relationship is in desperate need of repair (or a breakup):



1. You can’t communicate anymore.
Or your conversations have been limited to boring exchanges about mundane topics. Even spirited arguments have given way too.

2. Spending time together is no longer a TOP priority.
Time for each other feels like it’s become an afterthought.

3. One (or both) of you have gotten a “work friend” who knows more about your relationship than they should.
This doesn’t automatically mean that you or they are cheating, but the transfer ofintimacy from your partner to someone outside the relationship can be really bad for your bond.

4. You argue about the same crap OVER and OVER.

Ever had those conversations where you go around and around with your partner but things only get better for a little while or nothing ever changes? Me too.

5. You’ve discussed and analyzed your relationship with close friends/family — and they don’t like where things are headed.

Usually our people have a pretty good idea of how things are going — even if we don’t share the nitty gritty details.

6. You become suspicious of your partner.
Whether they are cheating or not, the fear that they’re having an affair has started to plague your thoughts. Petty jealousy seems to crop up even though you’ve never feltjealous in the past.

7. “It’s not the same anymore” pretty much sums up how you both feel.

8. You don’t think you (or they) care anymore.

Now, whether or not this is true is not the real barometer. It’s the sense of not feeling cared for that is most telling.

9. You dream about what things USED to be like.

You know that feeling where you wish you could rewind things back to the way it used to be before you had the sinking pain deep in your gut?

10. You feel like you’ve done all you CAN do to save the relationship.

Sometimes you’re trying too hard — other times it’s just that you’re the only one actually trying.

11. You’ve started thinking about what it’s like without them.

The internal “I know I can end this,” pep talk starts. You start considering whether you should “put up with this” any longer.

12. You’ve stopped (or avoided) talking about the future

“Concert next month? I don’t know … that’s a long way out”

It’s still possible to repair things at this point, but it takes focus, strategy and effort. Relationship insecurity panic (even when your relationship is really at risk) feels low value and desperate. It’ll just push them away even further.
