CultureTraditional Marriage Rite In Cross River State by pillarmaria(op): 11:24am On Feb 15, 2018
Traditional marriage rites In Cross River state. The state is Popularly known as a small London/mini nation because of it's multi-ethnics, cultural, and linguistics. The state's divers cultural rites of almost all areas of life is simply amazing.

Calabar have rites of births, Passage, Festival, Music, Dances, Religion , Oral Literature, down to the rites of marriage which is the main focus of this post. And in all these rites, the people of the state pride themselves in them; saying that it is a culture which came to them from their great-great grandfathers.

Procedures Of Traditional Marriage Rites In Cross River State

After the man meets a lady and expresses his interests in her, if she agrees, the groom in company of his family/friends then pays a visit to the girl's parents to make his intentions known to them with some gifts of drinks, alcohol and non- alcoholic beverages.

During this initial call, a date will then be fixed for the second coming thus enabling the girl's parents to inform others about the intended marriage ceremony of their daughter. Before the scheduled date, a list of the items for the marriage solemnization would be given to the man.

On the said day and with all the expectations met, the program proceeds in this manner.
1. Food would be provided for everyone at the occasion with music and dances by the bride's family.
2. Drinks would be the responsibility of the groom and his people.
3. An elder from the bride's family will prayers for the unification of the both families with a hot drink (Seaman Aromatic Schnapps to be precise) provided by the groom's people.
4. After this, a token would be given to the parents in a ratio of 2:1 of whatever amount is deemed fit by the traditions.
5. The bride's parents will give a carton of beer as a take home to their in-laws, this drink is not to be taken from gifts that the in-laws came with.

As noted from the beginning of this article, there are many ethnic groups/tribes in Cross river state and as such, most of the details we presented on this post deals mostly with the Yala which happens to the dominant tribe of Cross river state, possibly the tribe of the popular Nigerian musician Iyanya, because his hit song, "Kukere" gave him away as coming from that tribe since their local language is known as kukelle. That's by the way and possibly another topic to be covered on constative.com.

One unique thing about the traditional marriage rites in Cross River state is that they do not pay bride price. Any items that the groom provides usually suffices; which includes the clothes to be worn by the bride's parents during the traditional marriage ceremony.

So simple you might say!

If you are staying close to Trans Amadi, you may consider working with ACE FOOTWEAR MANUFACTURING COMPANY, its a Chinese owned company and its located somewhere around mother-cat junction.

The employ people at random and they don't place adverts because people are always at their gate seeking for employment.

Christianity EtcRe: Virgin Mary Appears In Edo State During Catholic Conference - CBCN (Photos) by pillarmaria(m): 11:38pm On Oct 15, 2017
EverGlorious:
Well first of, for all those saying everything negative about the Blessed Virgin Mary and disrespecting her in all sorts of ways, may God forgive you all.

Secondly, why would you hate a woman that all she wants, all she ever cares about is for you to know and love God her son and to always do what he has commanded you. Speaking hypothetically, let's say we worship her as a goddess right? Won't you worship a goddess that only wants you to worship your God?

Just so you know, we don't worship her we venerate her - venerate means to show deep respect for someone/something great (for those who don't know). This is a woman that lived with her son Jesus for 30+ years, only to watch him be spat on, abused, insulted, beaten, tortured and finally killed/died on the cross like a dreaded criminal. And all through this, she stood by her son, crying...weeping bitterly and consoling him through his passion.

What happened to his so-called brothers?? Ehhuh My brothers and sisters, USE YOUR SENSE. You think Jesus had beef with his brothers and his brothers decided not to stay with him in his last hour on earth? Were they his disciples that they'll be so afraid not to come close to their brother in his last hour? Even one of his disciples John was with him in his last hour. Again my brothers and sisters, USE YOUR SENSE!. My Igbo brethren please what do we call our cousins and relatives? Is it not NWANNE? Hebrews also do that. They don't really have a word for cousins or relatives.

Lemme give you this analogy; If you buy a new car and this car is going to be used to carry a great king, a very great king of your nation, I mean this is the King's car. Please would you use that car to carry other people? I think not. There will be other cars to carry his people. Don't know if this analogy hit the spot? Well my point remains that Mary is a Virgin and will always be...she never had any other children. Her other children is us and we became this when he gave is disciple John to his mother and her to him on the cross before dying. You can either believe this Truth or not.

Lastly, apparitions are true and real. If you've been allowed by God to see it you will, if not my dear you won't. An apparition is not necessarily a figure but an unusual event.

Cheers!
God bless you greatly
