Choosing a life partner is one of the major decisions to be taken in life by every man.

However, as you are shopping for a life-partner in marriage supermarket, you may be fortunate to pick a girl from an Igbo origin. If you are already in love with an Igbo lady, here are serious facts you should know about her before you marry her? Get to know the following facts and enjoy your marriage with an Igbo lady:

1.They Have Natural Beauty:

Igbos are one of the major tribes in Nigeria from the Eastern part of the country. One major feature of Igbo girls is their natural beauty. Igbo girls have a natural beauty that is so charming to the point of attracting any man.Most of the time you may not need to spend your money on Mary Kay before you can bring out the beauty in them.That is why they’ve dominated the beauty pageant in Nigeria for many years.

2.They Want To Maintain Their Beauty:

Though they are beautiful, they really want to maintain their good looks.That is why Igbo wives often look more attractive than their husbands because men that married are quite aware of this. So, prepare to buy latest shoes and bags, feed her with a sumptuous meal at all time, give her no stress at all and go extra miles to ensure that she keep on looking good. With this, you will win her family praise.



3.They Are Neat:

Do you really want to marry an Igbo girl? If yes, welcome into a cleaner and hygienic environment.Unlike some other ladies, Igbo girls are very neat, even if they are living in a slum.Check out their dressing, house, and kitchen even if she is using a coal pot for cooking.

4.Traditional Wedding Is For The Village:

Just before you fall in love with that Igbo lady, please, be informed that your traditional wedding must take place in the village. This one truth Ibos don’t joke with.No matter how small their village may be, you can’t get married to their daughter without getting to the village to fulfil all the traditional rights. If you get married to any Igbo girl without securing her family blessing, God helps you that no tragedy happens to her, else you will secure her family wrath.
5.Be ready for high Bride Price:

To Igbo clans, love is expensive and marriage is not for ‘boys’ but for ‘men’.Boys in this context have nothing to do with your age but financial inadequacy while men refer to financial ability to shoulder wedding demands as requested by the parents of the bride. Bride price in Iboland is not negotiable.Marrying their daughter require high bride price.One factor that could increase your bride price is the academic qualification of that girl. For instance, if she is a masters degree holder, you will pay more than if you are marrying an OND holder or a BSC holder.The higher the qualification, the higher the bride price. Are you a “man”?
6.Load Your Pocket When Visiting The Village:

Following your bride-to-be to her village is not an excursion, it is a call to spend money. Her family in the village will not listen to you if you are not financially loaded upon your arrival.In some Ibo villages, they will not allow you to enter the family compound unless you pay a particular sum of money.If your pocket is full, then proceed and if your pocket is ‘lean’, go and work harder.

8.Be Ready For Attachments:

If you must marry an Igbo lady, you must be ready to get an attachment along with you. This is so because, once a lady got married, her family will send one or two siblings or member of their family to be living with her so as to serve and learn any business the sister and the husband are into.Not just living with you, you are expected to establish a business for the fellow after serving you for many years.

Another fact you must know if you must marry an Igbo girl is that your Children may not speak your dialect.She will ensure that apart from the English language, your Children will take up Igbo language as their second language.Since she will spend more time with the Children, she will teach them and before you know it they are already speaking the Igbo language with their mother while only you will be an alien in that house. 11 SERIOUS FACTS YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE YOU MARRY AN IGBO GIRL

OP YOU FORGOT TO ADD YOU MUST BE AN IGBO GUY. BECAUSE, AN AVERAGE IGBO WOMAN WILL NEVER MARRY ANOTHER TRIBE THEY MAY DATE YOU, HAVE SEX WITH YOU BUT THEY WILL NEVER MARRY YOU IF YOU ARE NOT IGBO.THEY ARE THE MOST TRIBALISTIC PEOPLE IN NIGERIA.

why not go for a calabar girl instead na,somebody who is good all round

Regardless of what outsiders think, we, Igbo men, love and cherish our women. They are God's gift to us.

If anyone finds the marriage tradition of Igbos tedious, they can always look for ''easier'' options elsewhere.

okay. cool thread. but the high pride price thing is overhyped.

When you refuse to learn from the wisdom of an elder, you will be fooled with the pranks of children..........

Funlord2:
After reading the senseless points made by the o.p of this thread I just feel like deleting my moniker!

I dnt know why they keep hyping this bride price of a thing... they ar fat lies.

RaggedyAnn:
It's good to cut your coat to your size, but still.......it's better to say you want a Yoruba lady for a wife because you're in love with one, and not because she's affordable.

Hey!!!! Your real name na lie. Abi you bi LIE Muhammed?

wetin you know,bride price in nnewi,anambra state is #50(but that doesn't mean you should go and pay #50).
Its the items you buy that matters,may sum to about 300k on average unless you wish to spend more.

wetin concern me.. who go marry from olosho community

Other tribes nko Nigerian women are all the same stop specifying OP.

megareal:
We followed a colleague for an Igbo traditional marriage. Guy did not spend up to 100k, infact all the guys in my coy promised to marry an Igbo girl cause they believed marrying an Ibo girl was cheaper.
May have been the family prerogative sha.

don't mind all these hype online about bride price, in my place bride price is 500 naira whether rich or poor and I even heard some communities take 50naira,the list is where the money is even at that my village list (which is uniform for all households whether rich or poor)is about 100k (buhari era price),if you need to break the bank to marry an igbo girl, then how could it be possible that there are low income men e.g okada men married to igbo women?although places like owerri and afikpo have pricey list but if you tell the parents of your financial capability it will be reduced on your behalf but even the highest list no reach 600k

Not d lies
It's just dah igbo galz value money more dan relationship

Igbo must be special..Everyday Igbo this and that

It is either other tribes will lament that Igbo don't array their women
Or
Others will complain that to marry Igbo women is hard

Yet Igbo are not complaining....Is it not crying more than the bereaved


No wonder they want out of the country...To maintain their privacy


I don't blame them anyway
