Former Military governor of old Anambra State, Col. Robert
Akonobi (rtd), has pleaded with Igbo parents to reduce the
bride price of their daughters so that ‘’our young boys can
marry them.”
Speaking at the industrial city of Nnewi, Anambra State
during the traditional wedding ceremony of the daughter of
a business mogul, Chief Louis Onwugbenu, Onyinye and her
husband, Bosah
Chukwuogo, weekend, Col. Akonobi said:
"To me, this topic (bride price) has
been dealt with in the past by Ndigbo,
who came out
with a reduced bride price, to enable
our young boys marry our young girls.
It is a very simple matter. Let's all
remember that most of our young
boys are not very rich and they've
come of age to get married."

I hate "change"

We are not selling our daugther !!!

If I hear say dem gree.....they don't mind you selling your fathers house just to mary their daugthers....keep calm and marry a yoruba girl

na by force 4 u marry their daughter? Nigga go and make money and go get urself a pretty Igbo girl.. Beauty+brain+hebrew blood+commitment+good cook.

I thought I was going to see a huge sum of money attached there as the bride price, only for me to see items of a list. Or are they in exchange for the bride price cos I can't make any thing out of this topic. Igbos, making headlines since 1800.

Una Neva see anything sef

My own daughter go be private jet

Buy their daughter and use them for profit. In Igboland, marriage Na business.
If Igbo own cost, you don try Akwa Ibom?
