Should this even be a question? undecided...

Like I would come to visit you and I will send money so you can entertain me, how?

Did I come for a visit, abi I came for a show that I have to pay for? undecided...

Abeg o...
If the people I'm going to visit cannot entertain me, then it's fine, I'll take it to mean that that's how they treat their guest or that they're broke and/or stingy undecided...

It just means gross irresponsibility. They're the kind of in-laws that will will all their needs upon their son in-law's head.

Same thing applies during the bride price negotiations and the wedding.. Because we do two weddings where I'm from.. one on Saturday which will happen at the bride's parents' place and the other on Sunday which will happen at the groom's parents' house.

Each families pay for their own food and drinks.

It should be the bride's family affair, but if you can afford it you can support them.

when you won marry, marry enter family when get shame. If you come to my house, am to feed you, i cant come to your house and still be feeding you. its the wife's family that will feed ONLY the husbands guest, then all other guest invested by the husband, the husband will take care of his guest. eg John is marrying Susan, Susan's family is to take care of John's Family only. Then John invite about 50 friends, Its John's duty to take care of his friends. this is the Normal way before poverty come change everything. Till today, if i won cause wahala for house, i go remember the part her family play for our wedding, once i start, she go just change mood, me self go just shut up.

Please introduction is different from de D-Day must pplz re not expecting during that time cuz Yu re introducing yourself n also getting or demanding for list.

This was the character of your mum that time and that was why even the few rich men she was able to hook left her after enjoying the cookie and realising she was empty. She now has to settle for your very broke father who only knows how to hand poverty down to his children. Now you are grown following the same footsteps that landed your mother to your very poor father. Won't you buy sense for yourself now and think how to get yourself off poverty not waiting for men like your mum

It is no shalaye and it is greed for any woman to expect the groom who is visiting to pay for the food they want to serve him. If what you have is ground it and garri, take pride in it and serve it. The visitors are not coming because of food and should appreciate whatever they are offered.

That said, I think our negative competition mentality is why people try to show off otherwise, why bother so much about food and drinks.

The guy told my sister not to worry that he'll take care of the bills. should she have rejected it? It doesn't mean anything. If the guy is boxed up, let him do it.

Ah ah.. the people you're inviting for a celebration will not be entertained and catered for? In Africa? Hian.. it's very important o.

In most places this not the tradition.

The bride's family hosts the future in-laws. Bride's family pays. I would never have allowed future in-laws to pay for what we gave them to entertain them for my sisters' weddings. Many sisters by the way. All married now. Their men are not "broke" as some ladies like to shame hardworking young men trying to make a living. They didn't rush into marriage, so their men were ready.

The groom has traditional stuff he must take care of. What they should bring alongside bride price are clear to them. Not the food, drink or entertainment for in-laws in bride's family home.

If the bride's family are only managing, of course the groom can assist generously.

During an introduction or let me say bride price negotiation and payment, the man will bring drinks, bring gift then carry his people down to his woman's house and then pay money for the wedding.


In my side, the feeding on introduction and list negotiation days are on the bride's family but na the drinks wey groom bring we de use.
The question now is will he be the one to also pay for the food that the woman and her parents will cook when he and his people visit?

Will the man pay for the food or support since he is coming as a visitor with his people.

[quote author=FalseProphet1 post=122573386]I see Nigerian men forming a union to fight against marital extortion from brides families, I see men vowing not to get married, I see Nigeria churches complaining of marriage scarcity, I see mature ladies offering to pay groom price just to leave their father's house.

I see groom price inducted into the Nigerian constitution, I see guys forming for girls and becoming materialistic, I see guys demanding for iPhones, PS 5, clothes, shoes from girls, I see girls working hard to take send money to their men, I see men growing far on women's money.

This I have seen.

Culture varies, shameless in-laws in collaboration with their olosho daughter will do otherwise angry

Introduction and bride price paying is btw two families and unwanted guest abi aliens ain't suppose to be there. But some ladies will invite all here friends, mother in-law to be will invite all her friends, neighbors and church groups so that groom will foot the bills undecided

As a guyman, ask how the woman culture is and how things are done. Be armed with that, engage the father in gist and he will tell you things. Some daughters and mothers are jezebels.


Men, you need your stone heads during that period. Don't entertain any form of westernization

Get her pregnant and bye pass all this headaches grin

Re: Who Is To Pay For An Introduction Reception In A Bride House by Nobody: 2:36pm On Apr 17, 2023
In my tribe it's considered as the parents honor to pay for their own children's wedding to a point that the parents within the community do monthly monetary contributions and would put the money away until one of their kids gets married.

They come in groups and when the wedding comes, there's a group of parents that's going to be responsible for buying drinks, another one for frozen chickens, the other for a cow, others for desserts and etc.

The wedding celebrants would only pay for the few things left behind.
