This particular scenarios usually play out when the Groom wan take over everything, I am speaking from experience of being a part of numerous dowry bargaining.

So you are one of the wicked uncles that participate in billing young men?

It appears ur post 3 days ago stating that bride price usually doesn’t exceed 100k -150k does not align with what happened as narrated in this video .

Cc: izzou

Clearly from the video the Uncle of the girl is demanding a bride price of 1.2m apart from the list.

The anger of the groom is the greed of that uncle because he is actually not interested in his niece.

Thank you for the straightforward answer .

Anaghi m eji omenala egwu egwuregwu o. I joined umuada for this reason and I even hold a position. Make I use myveyes see as e dey take happen. We have both young and old too, but De ** is our orator. He is witty and has a way of calming nerves. Like you said, that groom most likely took the lead and/or surrounded himself with his friends from town. Umu boys obi di oku. 😂

Ada ukwu!!!

BlueRayDick:
I hope you know it’s Igbos who were present at the venue that make videos about issues around bride price and even post some of the disputed wedding lists online ?

Non-Igbos only comment on what has already been posted online .

Nobody has the power to change another person’s tradition . One can only have an opinion (which may not even count sef )

I know right and they are part of my problem. However, when Igbos are saying A and you saying B or putting words in our mouth, I take it you know what you are doing.

Thank you for the straightforward answer .

In addition the reason the groom and his friends chose to leave is because the uncle is acting against tradition. From the decorations you can be sure that the groom can afford that bride price. But they are refusing to be fooled by a greedy man. He is demanding something the tradition has not permitted him to. The groom knows why and they have acted well by me.

What I expected the Umunna to have done is to call back the groom's people and speak sense into their brother's head.

Roland17:
In all of the negotiations I have been a part of, we have never paid everything and it has absolutely nothing to even do with the financial status of the Groom sef. We have gone on behalf of made men, hold ground and left with the bride. A stubborn/ oversabi Groom or Bride will unnecessarily complicate the process and that is what that instance was. He probably got impatient and upset, told everyone he was leaving. I don't believe his Kinsmen initiated ending the process.

It is quite untraditional for this to happen. I think it is beyond merely paying the bride price. I see animosity between the groom/bride and that wicked uncle.

They may be calling his bluff while his showing them pepper 😂

You are absolutely right. Dowry bargaining for the most part, irrespective of the back and forth is done in good faith with the understanding that the bride is going to her husband’s place.

To your point and like most of us have said, this isn’t a normal occurrence.

Haha.. Na we dey even help make the process easy for men.

No one goes into a dowry ceremony with the intent of holding our daughters hostage.. naaaa.

If na bride, we know she will be going. I don see situation when we had to take a break for a few minutes and come back into the room.

I think we should try to abstain from using any Igbo stuffs for any examples. When I talked about “marriage list” being different from the “bride price” itself, I wasn't referring to what happens in Igbo states.

The tribes in Akwa Ibom give ridiculous lists, and they're not igbos. We can use them for our examples, I'm sure they won't accuse us of tribalism, whether subtly or implicitly.

One can rant about Yoruba culture all day here and you and other yorubas here won't label the person “tribalistic”, but the moment you talk about a certain tribe, they begin to accuse you of tribalism subtly and otherwise.

To round up everything, my point remains; there's no where in Nigeria where the bride price itself cost more than 200k, the problem is the “marriage list”.

Please, if you want to counter me next time, don't use any examples from any SE state. Thank you.

And blacks, they'll do anything to retain power

I remember one certain time we pretended to Ike we have exhausted all our resources and promised them to come back for the completion of the rites.

The bride's family then asked us to bring anything we have. We dropped N200k as against N800k
