#162000 for bride price,that means with less than #200000,a man can marry over there..

Where's my passport,I want to go marry 5 wives,and above.

What about the 82 goats?

She has a husband and in-laws, so why do people like breaking kolanut on top of another person matter?

cococandy:
chei. I don't envy them.

BTW are you Kenyan? You seem to know them well

Me Kenyan? l be proper born and raised in Lagos, l just live in Nairobi.

cococandy:
this is serious

Don't be angry as that tribe charged nothing in comparison to the Turkanas of Northern Kenya, where a young man who wants to marry requires about 100 cows, 200 goats & several camels just to marry this beautiful bride!

cococandy:
82 goats?

Nigerian men are screaming that what is being charged locally is too much.Kenyans don't joke with cows & goats for dowry & the groom must go with govt permit to prove it was not stolen!

A bunch of elders in Masinga, Machakos County, Kenya were recently forced to eat humble pie and beg an angry suitor to marry their daughter, after he walked out of ongoing dowry negotiations, accusing them of extorting him. The suitor only identified as Mwendwa caused a stir after he ordered the people who had accompanied him to the function, to pack the goods he had presented as dowry onto a pick-up, leaving the home in a fit of rage. This was after the elders inflated the cost of his bride and fined him heavily for “misbehaving”.

As is the custom among the Akamba, Mwendwa had arrived at his in-laws’ home with a delegation comprising his extended family, friends, neighbours and workmates, to pay dowry. His in-laws had prepared food and were serving alcoholic drinks. As they dined and wined, Mwendwa got tipsy and without a care in the world, staggered onto the dance floor and began dancing with women inappropriately.

Fines imposed

This he did to the chagrin of his in-laws and wife-to-be. “His unbecoming behaviour upset the wazee (old men) who decided to fine him two goats. “He stopped dancing inappropriately, apologised and agreed to pay the fine,” intimated a source who attended the ceremony. Much later, during their stay at the home, one of the men who accompanied Mwendwa was accused of having kicked a dog.“The elders fined Mwendwa three more goats for the bad manners of a member of his delegation,” reveals the source.

Everything else went on well until later when Mwendwa’s family began to renegotiate the dowry, seeing as there had been a couple of fines imposed. Mwendwa had initially agreed to give Sh80,000,(N160,000) 82 goats and other material goods. Instead of the goats, he was asked to pay an extra Sh80,000,(N160,000) which would be the equivalent of 40 goats (at the cost of Sh2,000 each) and give the other 42 goats later. The in-laws however, consulted and made fresh demands, insisting that Mwendwa pay all the dowry at once because, they said, he was a man of means. To their shock, a miffed Mwendwa walked out and instructed his men to load all the goods they had brought onto the pickup and leave. When the elders discovered that Mwendwa was not joking, his fiance run to him crying and begged him to change his mind, telling him to just “just pay what you have”.

Elders joined her and implored Mwendwa to cool his temper, pleading and begging him to sit down and discuss but a tipsy, peeved Mwendwa would hear none of it. He left. The relationship now hangs in the balance.

Ladies and Gentlemen, my humble self.
Thanks for viewing, corrections on how to make the soup better next time is more than welcomed. I also made Okra soup and Stew this morning which I will open a thread for later. its going to be a long holiday of eating and Netflix

CC: SAMBARRY, jessyz, curve, lilimax and the rest, how did I do this time?

Let a Kenyan catch you putting fish and meat in the soup...tufiakwa it is an abomination for them!

That your garri looks like ljebu garri ! Me am cooking my own Egusi soup on the 24th and it is going down with Semolina l will use all you listed except for the fresh pepper and spinach as l will be using ground cameroun pepper for it has this flavour it brings to the meal, not also forgetting my uziza seeds, using ukazi for the vegetable.

Your having your baby will be a game changer, just bear with your in-laws for the sake of your health and the baby's. When the baby is 6 months old nobody on earth can drag the baby away from your hands and forcefully put you in a flight heading to Dubai except you allow it. This is going to be your first taste of motherhood and no one has a right to deny you no matter the disguise,

Focus on safe delivery, when the six months arrives let's see who will have the final say! lt is either you stay in Nigeria with the baby or and join your husband with the baby.

E don happen make we siddon watch film.

l have a friend who is married to a Dutch and lives in Canada with their 3 kids, till this very day her father is still yet to collect one naira as dowry on her head and she has promised him he will never get it. People have hurt running deep!

There are some women who have been catering for their families without complaint despite the fact that the man is working bt dodging his responsibilities. Those who rub it on the faces of their once productive & providing husbands are simply myopic.

Heleex:
What type of soil is suitable for growing this specie of pepper?

Are they susceptible to attacks from rodents?

Capsicum grows on almost all soil types, but is most suited to well-drained sandy or loamy soils. Bacteria wilt and powdery mildew are the main diseases that affects it.

sheyi86:
@ pavore9 y dont u allow it to ripe, abi it doesnt ripe ni thanks

l believe you now know,

sheyi86:
@ pavore9 y dont u allow it to ripe, abi it doesnt ripe ni thanks

Capiscum has three varieties, green yellow and red.

Too young at 37?

happybrother:
the pepper that can keep your pocket fat is Bell pepper. Try these varieties: California wonder' Yoko wonder or jalapeño all from Technisem and Seed Project co Ltd Kano

l guess you mean the picture of the capscum attached, Truth it has a higher return on investment. take for example the greenhouse l attached which is 24ft by 45ft is producing 600kg of Capsicum monthly though it is sold for about N180 per kilo here in Nairobi but in somewhere like Lagos it may hit about N400 per kilo.

Opiosko:
Hello everyone here. This is my first post in this area, pls be kind to me. Pls i want to make 'Pap aka Akamu/Ogi . I have bought milk, sugar, salt, maggi, curry and thyme. Pls what next?

l think you omitted pepper and palm oil they are very essential.

Dem tire me o!

I wount judge, some ladies are naturally stubborn . African ladies are different from western ladies. They deserve it atimes

An African man dares not touch a western lady because the prisons will await him.

He gets contradictory advice & still maintains the same advisers...who is fooling who? Even mothers when they return home, their children give different versions of what happened at home in their absence but they still know how to sieve out d truth!

Dem take style save cost!

true word.

Ideally it should be one's spouse but things are happening that now gives excuse for not doing so. Just like the example l cited in the thread where men were asked if they could live in a house built by their wives, the woman inherited a twin duplex from her late father's estate, (they still live in a rented 3 bedroom because of hubby's ego) she put the name of her children on the property sidelining the husband n retaliation for his insisting on his younger brother being Next of Kin even after 9 years of marriage.

The woman felt her husband did not trust her then why should she trust putting his name on the property. Though this issue is straining their marriage, the woman no send as she can't afford to have husband family feel it is also part of their brother's property!

Definitely second wife to a rich man. Some ladies would prefer to be a second wife to a rich man than an only wife of a man who is still struggling.

We should encourage each other to take our health more seriously because death does not discriminate.

lt is high time..it is too discriminating can't forget losing admission to Federal Government College Ijaniki Lagos despite my high mark all because am from lmo state while kids who scored one-third of my score got admitted all in d name of quota!

Look at how they are exposing themselves!

lt is not as if he has an option, Tambuwal is like bitter kola he must have to chew if he wants to clear his irritating throat.
