That moment when an Igbo lady says there is a generational curse that is making ladies in their lineage find it difficult to get married. Please help me tell her that no matter the prayer and fasting,the curse will never go away until their tradition of crazy bride price is eliminated. 1 Like |

From my place in Ughelli, delta state, the pride price is not up to #500 and the list given to the groom, it's not compulsory he pays them at once. Anybody with idea of how much the bride price and the list to be given to the groom to marry a lady from Ugep in Yakuurr local government from Cross River state? That's where I've decided to marry from. |

sukkot:Hian! Na so you no value woman reach? Do you know parents actually spend more in training their daughters than they spend for their sons? Don't mistake me for being a feminist, but it's a no-no calling your daughter a responsibility. I even pray I get a daughter first before a son when I marry, because they're more caring than the boys when they're still little. They're priceless assets, bro, not responsibilities 1 Like |

Saklekplus:lolzzzz you dont know anything at all. My wife is from Orumba North & I am from Aguate... All in Anambra state. Everything I spent both bride price, food & drink for my trad is about 40k. Incluiding the vehicle that transported my kindred to the place. Most times i blame guys for their predicament. When you are dating a girl and you are buying her all kinds of stuff. Puffing up trying to impress both the girl and her family. Why wont they bring knife to slash off your head. I also blame ladies who become very weak when they face their parents. They forgot that after paying heavy amount of money, na she hunger go fire. In my family we collect 8k for the father & 2k for the mother... Thats 10k... Only soft drinks and non alcoholic wine. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Chigold101:@the words in bold, you're so on point! Most times the girls are the cause of this 'predicament'. They tend to rate and place you high before their friends and family, hence motivating the parents and kindred to present u with a long list of items. But they forget that they will be the ones to bear the grunges if you go broke tomorrow 1 Like |

Ishilove:lolzzz marriage is not really about bride‘s price but about other things that follow. Like cost of drinks, cost of food, cost clothes for parents & ashoebi etc. I know a place where u will spend more than 200k but the bride‘s prsice is 20niara. The reason is after spending that huge amount of money in ceremony if anything goes wrong and you talk about divorce, they will sharpaaly refund ur 20niara. So it is not about “just“ the bride‘s price but about the total sum spent both in wedding & trad. 1 Like |

Foolishness is when a lady leaves a guy she really loves and also loves her and ready for marriage but does not have money for big marriage ceremony to be with a guy who may not really love her but will gladly say i do to him because he has the money for marriage ceremony. Many ladies in Nigeria have mistaken marriage proper for marriage ceremony as they take the latter more important than the former. Ironically many ladies have no business being single at 30 not even at 27 but many of them have foolishly dwell on a picture of flamboyant wedding which is perfectly ok but they make it a must before they can actually see themselves as married. A couple can have a very low keyed wedding ceremony and latter when the money is available they can do a super expensive ceremony but its so so unfortunate that a typical naija girl at 25 will have a guy at 30 wanting to marry her and this guy actually have a roof over his head but because he has no money at that point to organize a big time wedding,our gullible ladies will say HE IS NOT READY FOR MARRIAGE yet he continues to bleep them front back and center and when he is probably ready for marriage ceremony,he dumps their silly ass after sucking the whole nectar in them and they will start crying fowl that one innocent person from their village is after them. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Umuchoke:oh and let me address the bolded. brah ? whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, your children, including your daughter is your responsibility. there is a reason why that man on frontpage ran away when his wife gave birth to twins. cuz the weight of the responsibility scared him. they are your responsibility not your asset. 3 Likes |

sukkot:Nobody actually sells his daughter out. They're not slaves or animals, so why use the term 'sell' in marriage? It's African tradition, everywhere, that a bride price be paid to parents before a daughter is given out. In most cases, this bride price is not spent, as some people here have highlighted. It's just to show that marriage is not for free. Ok, take another scenario..the Fulanis. They make the groom hold a large mirror with both hands while young men lash his back with koboko. This is just a test of courage that the young man is capable of taking care of a woman. Secondly, I don't think it's right to go all about nosing in the affairs of your married daughter. If eventually she has issues with her husband, your job is to come in as elder and offer words of advice, not to kick the nigga's ass. I was joking before, but on a serious note, I can never accept to marry a girl I love free of charge. It shows no respect or dignity for womanhood 2 Likes |

Toks2008:well my wife made her people to see me as someone that doesnt have. Therefore when their umunna brought their list, one man whom i dont know from anywhere & claim that he is my middle man. The man rejected the list brought by umunna (which is not much anyway. If i had followed their list, it would have cost me like 70k for evertthing). And wrote something that i looked at and couldnt believe it. The man stood by me & it was just fun and wonderful. Also it worked for me cos my father inlaw does not join them when they charge a visitor high. So am thankful to that man that played the middle man. 1 Like |

Umuchoke:ahhh but you wanting to pay for her is what shows lack of respect or dignity for womanhood. now she is a commodity to you as for the african tradition thing, alot of african tradition is obsolete and outdated and needs to be scrapped. this is 2015. as for me kicking a niggas ass if he beating my daughter ? hell yeah i will beat his ass. is he crazy ? he better have a very genuine reason for beating her. only reasons i will accept are she slept with someone else or she is a husband abuser and i just decided to give her a taste of the beatings she gives me. 1 Like |

sukkot:A responsibility that will later become an asset. Bro, haven't you seen a poor family turn rich after a single marriage from a daughter? You may struggle hard today, incur debts and pay bills to raise her, and regain everything in ten folds tomorrow after she marries. Daughters are assets |

sukkot:Lmao! You can't change God's design. Women are meant to be on the receiving end. When you newly meet a girl, it is you, the man, that will blow all the necessary grammar to spice her. When she accepts to go out with you, it is still you that will do all the spending. And that's how it would be as long as she's still with you. So if you can spend for an ordinary GIRLFRIEND, why do you now think it's unnecessary or not dignifying to pay her bride price so that she can PERMANENTLY be your partner? Don't tell me you've never dated before |
