I Love To Marry Her But worrying about the high bride price by OmoGomesIlorin: 3:30pm On Mar 21, 2023
I meet this lady in December 2019 and by 2020 we had the opportunity to connect with each other on a friendship level. From my interactions with her and observations, she is cool-headed and calm, intelligent and ambitious. Her skills match someone I dream of marrying. She is from Anambra, state - Umuoji

However, as a low-budget guy, I am weighing my options due to stereotype of demanding for a gargantuan bride price.

I want to know if what people are saying online is true or exaggerated

Why not ask her, she would know?

Btw, your question sef is insensitive in the wake of the current massive discrimination against the Igbos. You should have allowed us drink water drop cup on top the matter first before bringing your own matter. Igbophobia kor, livephobia ni!

You already clearly expressed that you have racist leanings so why are you not instead out there looking for a woman from an ethnic background you are more mentally comfortable with? undecided

Why are you wasting this woman's time, and yours, dragging the relationship further than it needs to go when the chances are about 83% that it will end in regret for you and for her? undecided

You are judging her without any igbophobic proof from her. There a lot of intertribal marriages between Yorubas and igbos that has worked and are still perfectly working fine . The Adeleke’s are typical example

Just because there are some that seem to have worked does not mean it works for everyone. There are many out there filled with regret and majorly because they held racist ideals from the beginning they were unable to let go of even after marriage. undecided

This OP here clearly holds to racist views that ought not be overlooked as that girl is someone's daughter abeg! undecided

it seems you were not igbophobic when it was time to chat her up, nor when you started dating her and/or you certainly were not igbophobic when you were mounting her left right and center... it seems you are just looking for a cheap way out of this r/ship. be honest and just tell her its over. case closed!

... as if she suddenly turned Igbo the day you decided to marry her.

For you to even have this igbophobic mindset means you should stay away from the tribe because your mind is already against it. Look for your tribes women and pick one and leave us that have liberal mindset to go for what we want irrespective of their tribe.

Igbo women are really the weakest link. You can see how they end up thinking of you. I pity any Igbo lady that marries into your family. If you are this daft, only God knows how your parents and your siblings think. Why do you even want to marry an igbo lady when your kids will be called bastards tomorrow should they intend to run for political office and off course they can't run for office in Igbo land too.

I'm sure in your little mind you think "igbophobia" means fear of igbo people.

But based on current happening in Nigeria, igbophobia means hatred of igbo people.

Shey you see how you shot yourself in the foot. How can you be in love with someone you hate? undecided

A lot of Keke and okada riders in the SE are legally married, they paid what they could afford and took their wife home. So if they can do it, you definitely can.

If you truly want to marry her, discuss your plans with her...try to find out what marriage list in her side looks like. That should give you a rough estimate of the total cost of marrying her.

This now brings us to step 2 which is for you to become friends with her parents and siblings, call them often and say hello to them, if you can afford some edibles, buy for them...but be sure that you let them know that you're not in anyway related to dangote.

As your relationship with her parents grows, meet her dad one on one and tell him your plans for his daughter, and the kind of budget you have, that you're a young man just starting life, but working towards rapid growth with his daughter...he'll most likely tell you not to worry because you've already established a working relationship with him.

After consultations, knocking and other traditional bruhaha have been done, you can fix your date for the traditional marriage with peace of mind. Cos your father in-law would be the one to talk to his Kingsmen so that they won't suffocate you with over billing.

After the traditional marriage, you can meet your pastor and organize a low-key white wedding. Just make it within your budget and you'll be fine.

You just echo out one of the thousand fears a man need need to confront before walking down the aisle.

When I went back home two years to seek her hand in marriage, my networth was akin to cobwebs or rather a desert, but as guy man wey I be, I chest am last last, nothing materialize o.

Oga, no need for all these your big big English. Invite her over. Invest akamu into her womb, in two or three months time her family will be begging you to come carry her with little or no tokin.

The most important thing is, Ensure both of you love each other supremely before you do the abv.

When you balance later. Organize parlour wedding.
