Rhat is there tradition until dey spray her till her satisfaction she will smile

Bigcowhorn:
Tradition is tradition

I come from Imo State. In my place one of the things you do before you marry is give everyone gifts. Even the bright kingsman that don't know her full name you will give

You keep giving out to everyone smiles. In this economy that is easily millions or hundreds of thousands at the least

Getat. The tradition no be our forefathers put am there? Before they did? What was happening?

Una go dey talk like say na our forefathers create the planet

Maybe the useless over imposing idiotic bride decoverd tht the man is gay......so she is processing it for 20 minutes

Acidosis:
Is frowning until you're spoiled with money supposed to be fun? It's really unfortunate how we adopt certain behavioural deficiencies and call it "culture. "

You’ll attend a Nigerian wedding, and everything will feel so dry. It’s mostly just a bunch of clowns trying to cash out: from the alaga iduro (or mc) abusing all privileges to make money from a man who's probably exhausted his life savings, to the thieving caterer or usher trying to loot meat and jollof, to even the couple selling overpriced aso-ebi to co-conspirators from the same WhatsApp group. And you'll wonder why our society reeks of perpetual greed and theft.

This is why people travel to other countries, experience love, and face culture shock, because the money-driven, morally-depraved love they know back home is completely different from what exists in other places.

We all need to do better.

Nice review.... everything about Nigerians is related to stealing from the pastors .....hostel mistress...course rep.....fat women tht cook company foods,school proprietress, mothers( housewives) they inflate the money to their husbands....
TUNUBU.......he remove subsidy without showing the account balance..........church secretaries...... portharcourt agberos ....God punish this one's.......kidnappers .......teachers .....heads of companies......infact

Juliearth:
You should have at least probed to know why it's so, rather than trying to push a narrative.


The bride is expected to put up this show. Her groom and his friends are to shower her with money and this continues until she smiles.

U get brain 🧠 , everything na scope for them to spray her money ,

For those of you who plan to marry from Rivers state (calabari), this is for you.


If you no get plenty money to spray on your wedding day, pls don't go there

lol, in some parts of Ijaw this is how it’s done. The husband and his relatives would then try to shower her with gifts to try eliciting a smile from her

That's a pure lie. Your ancient traditions were coined mainly by stark illiterates who didn’t have to do much to marry. In fact, some of them used only bush meat, a keg of palm wine, and a few other items they could easily snag from a few days of farming to marry.

It was the greedy men of the '60s and '70s who introduced raw cash and dollars. It is these greedy men, who have failed to evolve with today’s economic realities that permit a woman to also spend on her man, that keep lying about traditions.

Very soon, men like you will start demanding that Bitcoin and other Crypto be paid to kinsmen in the name of same "tradition". What nonsense tradition?

I don't know you in person, but I love your thoughts as expressed here. It is, for me, part of the basics of civic education that we must start teaching our children if we are to successfully re-orient our society from its current path of perdition to one to holistic success.

Regards.

The bride refused to smile on her wedding day for over 20 minutes, leaving guests puzzled and stirring whispers across the venue.

Some speculated nerves, others suspected deeper emotions behind the stoic expression

So yo were checking the time ni.........,

muyico:
Force marriage?

From the look of things, her trust was betrayed. She got an information lately that was kept hidden....., trust issue

I'm lying about my people's tradition but you who's never been to Imo State know better

Funny ode

For the record there is nothing like dollar or gold payment my tradition. Kindly carried that particular lie to your tradition


Money and pride has always been part of the Igbo tradition and culture which is why it drives people hatdwork and success at all s

200k can marry you a wife in Yoruba land or north with even half of that but in Igbo land you are not ready

Imo State and anambra you are so not ready but you can always cut corners if you have reasonable in law

Life goes on

Half baked journalism and publication Everytime. No detail about location of where your publicized event occurred.

Anyways, I guess it could be the same wedding a makeup artist friend told me that a bride received the news of her father's death in the middle of her wedding reception Benin. Maybe. Maybe not.

No wahala, my brother. Respect to your traditions if that makes you, who are in AI generation with changing economic realities, physically and emotionally sound.

What exactly are you ranting about.

It is cultural thing and no one is asking you to like it. Learn to live and let others live

'Lobbiiiissssshhhh'.

SAMBARRY:
exploitative behavio is a cultural thing? Ride on

something wey don dey since before independence na u dey here dey speak grammar.

For those of you who plan to marry from Rivers state (calabari), this is for you.

Stop lying.
Just stop.
That's how you guys make people think parents sell their daughters in igboland.

And hey, I am a married igbo woman from anambra. No extravagant spending on my marriage and the high and mighty attended. What is normally required are small. If your woman people demanded for lots of things, ask to see the real ùmùnna lists.
Unless you want to show you have arrived.

And with 100k or less even in this economy, you can marry in anambra state. That, I am very sure of.

PheelzAlmighty:
She just discovered that Emeka Japan is just a guy name, Emeka never travel out before

She don travel?

That is not Igbo tradition at all.
These yahoo boys have soiled marriage in igboland outsiders will think we sell our kids to the highest bidder.
In every family, there is a kinsmen lists for marriage. Believe me, the things on that lists is written in such a way everybody both the rich and poor can comfortably afford that. It's the family of the bride that normally start adding 1a, 1b to 1z to just list number 1 if you get my drift. And the girl will boast,girls mum will join in the boasting. Then the bobo will come in like Elon trying to outdo everybody. Even if he borrowed cos they believed that they will recoup that day from money spread on them during dancing. And to show his friend he has arrived, he dare not question the lists given to him.

It is a tradition in kalabra land, here in Rivers state.... You will do everything possible to make her smile

Acidosis:
Culture evolves; it’s not static. There was a time humans were killing fellow human beings in the name of culture.

If that's culture, its terrrible.Culture evolves with time

muyico:

..abi.. marriage never start and she is already frowning and looking upset....the guy better end the marriage

Did they force you to marry?

Stop lying.

100k or less?

You know see the evidence that you are really a woman who does not contribute 1 naira to her wedding ?

With a bag of rice north of 50k and one small goat costing as much as 40K I guess everyone brought their own firewood and chairs to your wedding


Wait ooo what about the transport? Guests had to pay to come since the event took place in father's palor for free

Listen

Even in Imo State bride price no pass 1,000 naira. My in-laws took just 200 naira for my beautiful wife but I'm telling you I spent over 2 million on traditional marriage alone


Figure that out

She's wondering why no one is spraying dollars

Gggjhhj:
Is a normal thing, is an ijaw traditional marriage, it is done in every marriage in Bayelsa

Oh ok..understood..

ruggedtimi:
something wey don dey since before independence na u dey here dey speak grammar.

the fact that a wrong doing has gone on for 500 million years and now turned into a cult doesn't make it right. No wonder nigeria will keep fighting corruption till Jesus comes

Ijaw culture, I'm married to an Ijaw woman,the thing make me fear small ooo, before dem give me expo make I spray money before she go smile, very interesting and entertaining,,Me I be Ikwerre,

That paint on her face glued the facial movements at that moment.

She knows what she is into
