Be crying as if they forced your family and in-laws to yield to tradition. If your family and in-laws decided to disregard tradition and just do a court wedding, no one can stop you people. I stand to be corrected.

They sowed by having prick. Seems you didn’t get the memo. Once you have prick in Nigeria (the size is irrelevant) you have sown into the life of every woman.



No part of my post made reference to SUBMISSION. Na you know wetin dey choke you.

Average Ibo man is greedy

Warrgidanairala:
Mtchewww some men are so shameless,reaping where you didn't sow all in the name of kingdred abi what sef mtchewww.Bride price should be directly given to parents and in the absence of the parents the person who acted as parents should then receive it and not some shameless men who wants to reap where they didn't sow

A man took to Twitter to say "we need to dismantle misogyny" after he didn't get a share from his sister's bride price, IgbereTV reports.

He said bride price of 300,000 Naira was paid and his mother was given only 5,000 Naira while elders he's never seen in his life took the rest.

Read his tweets below.

That's bullshit!
Are they selling the gurl? I wonder what their first price was before it was negotiated to 300k.

Utter balderdash

MartinsD12:

Total lie, 300k for bride price that's not true, highest 20k, fake information.

Xantel:
That is the only day the elders can extort from in-laws, the other days are for your mother and you

bluskyee:
oga don't ridicule people's culture. 300k is a low budget bride price.

Exactly! I don't know why people are becoming useless by the day. The tradition was there right from the beginning. That guys father might have benefited as well as an elder. You can choose to ignore tradition if you wish

Doing the marriage in USA won’t reduce the list, you will either monetize it and send or get a home-based person to buy it all. The problem is the mindset, the formation they come with. They come like hungry lions. Some of them can’t even pick out the bride from ten ladies, but their eyes go dey chook inside everything.

They do not have a problem with you not inviting them, just send the money to them. If you don’t, the repercussions would be waiting for both you and your children’s children.

SmartyPants:


You mean men gathered somewhere and agreed to be paying bride price? How does this boost our egos in anyway?

With or without bride price a woman is traditionally expected to submit in every known culture and tradition across Nigeria.

I personally don't require submission as such and I certainly don't intend to pay bride price but I have found that once you voice such opinions the greatest resistance is from women who feel that only broke men complain about bride price.

MartinsD12:

Mention where it happened

pocohantas:


Men are their own enemies.

I am sure when they stayed and agreed to be paying “bride price” abi huge marriage list, they forgot that someone like Buhari would be a democratic president. They also never foresaw that $1= N478 or graduates would turn 31 without stable jobs.

Now that the economy is choking them and restricting their airflows, they are now forming online bro-code and looking for imaginary feminist that will go stop a practice they put in place for their own ever-needy-ego.

You’ll still see same charlatans insulting other Nigerian tribes that are civil enough to conduct marriages like what it is- the coming together of two consenting adults, not an empowerment program.

That gender can never be understood.

If not that God is all knowing, they almost confused Him when He asked a simple question in the Garden of Eden.

Eleru gberu e ooo



Na their way na. Cry when e choke them.

Ladycewhy:
Are you implying that women sat down and decided to be collecting bride price? you and I know this decision was unanimously agreed upon in a village meeting of brown teethed snuff sniffing ancestors and I can swear on buhari's life that women were not present in that meeting.

bluskyee:
My eldest brother married from Kalabari Rivers he paid 500k as bride price (although they told him no fixed price). I have 4 sisters all married, the list bride price paid was 850k...Train your daughters well bro.
