The comments of some people does not define the reason for the thread. The Opening Post should be the yardstick for defining what a thread is about.

I do not really agree with most of point because in the village even people with no money do marry and live a happy life. I believe it all depend on u and the woman u want to marry. If u date a woman for a while it becomes very easy and some of the processes outline here will be forgotten.

The OP didn't bash the igbo people he only made mention of families extorting via bride price, it could be any familiy. in fact no tribe was even mentioned in the article but i do admit along the line, a poster mentioned igbo. But the OP had no reason to bash igbo people. he;s only explaining the consequences of bride price and it leading to many people being unmarried. just thought i clarified that. I don't want people to turn this thread into something tribalistic. I don;t believe in bride price but if it's tradition no problem can't dispute that. my only concern is that won't they be worried that no groom might not be able to afford the bill. and won't that affect the girl getting married at an early age.

And people still wander why most Nigerian men won't hesitate to batter their wives on little occurrences.

A simple question: You paid a hefty price as your wives brideprice, would you be able to stand her impetus when she tries to praticalize ideologies such as Gender equality, feminism or even tries to challenge simple house hold decisions?

in as much as i agree that bp is more of appreciating the bride family, i don't agree it has to be on the high side, that is more of selling the girl. thereby reducing her value.

[color=Teal] Can you just imagine?

@bolded... A girl that had been screwed several times that she can't even count how many times she had being screwed. undecided

It baffles me, some parents will even be asking for bride price from the man like his life depends on their daughter if he didn't marry her. Mtcheww.

Bride price should be scrapped.

It is sexist as far as I'm concerned.

Re: When The Bride Price Is Too High For Him To Pay by Nobody: 7:11pm On May 09, 2015
we are in a generation where people don't want to get married, count the number of baby mamas out there or the amount of girl one has to his disposal such a sad world. I meet so many people who keep postponing marriage till they make that "miraculously large amount of money" including me, i somehow predict in the future that there would a lot of unmarried people and more of babymama,baby-papa. The thought of that alone is depressing. anyway i only price God blesses us to able to meet such bp.

Another importance i see in bride price is that when a guy marries and pays a hefty some of amount and provide lots of goods eg cow, palm wine, creates of highups(star,guilders)tubers of yam e.t.c the guy will terish his bride because he knows how much he has spent on marrying her, divorce will never be on the cards cus when he considers how much he has spent he melo down
I disagree with you completely, what if after d traditional rites they found out they are not compatible, this is not a basis bro..

It is very unfair haba! kilode? Gbogbo owo wa le fe gba tan ni? Those elders needs to respect themselves or else their daughters will continue to stay with them forever. That's why you see ladies that are meant to be married still single and they are old. Thank God for marykay.

Bride Price or Pride price----- don't know which to call when some of the so called ladies had lost the Pride why the price then, let them go freely as Attachee

I disagree, most guys enslave their wife cos of this... dey will b of d opinion dt aw can dey pay such amount nd a lady will think of leaving... it's more or less like modern slavery as their elders and parent are using their girls for business.. high brideprice does not determine. a lovely home... d wife get enslaved most time...
