carpmam:
Every woman is a money woman because they were also bought by their respective husbands through bride price,the only difference here is that this people are doing theirs in an archaic way

Speak for yourself. Maybe every woman in your life is a money woman.
I did not pay a dime for the love of my life. Her dad gladly and willingly handed her over to me amidst songs and merriment.

Not just there this used to be practiced in many parts of edo state, also called forced marriage... although not too common but still practiced low key, just in a more gentle form.... I swear Africans are nothing but animals, if only we know how those racists see us we for done do away with all these nonsense called languages self.

So, if i just carry my 10k to that state, it is enough for me to buy confirm virgin slave girl that will serve my purposes. Ok my way to Niger delta now.

So also is your Biological Father!

This is de type of places where all these pentecostal churches should go n preach, but no. Thet ll cluster in every available space in abuja, porthacourt n lagos looking for money,

That place is 1hr away from my village. About 30 mins from the governors village. Na so she go born children Wey the man family go d use any how them like. Proud ogoja babe.

It's their culture and shouldn't be interfered with. If Whitemen say man can marry man or man can marry animal, what makes their ideas better than that of our forefathers?

I read am na

Na just sarcasm.

I be from north central, and I know say southerners de always speak ill of us and the entire north. So na devil (not God) catch them here. Cos had it been this news na from our side, you for see hate speech.

Call me non-comformist but I 've never been one to subscribe to traditional beliefs especially the ones that are down right stupid and of no benefit to society. To me, this is slavery in another name. None of these so called "money girls" are in control of their own destiny. The path their life would follow had been predetermined by a parent or a relative who in most cases does not have their best interest at heart. It is such an absurdity that some communities still maintain some of these outmoded customs and belief systems to the detriment of their society at large.

CNN must not hear this them no go let Nigeria rest.. My lawd in 2018

CastedDude:
A Nigerian journalist, Imani MumZoe, has shared her experience after embarking on an investigate trip to Cross River state to uncover the "Money Marriage Practice'' under the platform of Channels TV. Money Marriage is an old traditional practice synonymous with the Becheve tribes in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State, South South Nigeria where an elderly man buys a little girl for a wife.

Obanliku Local Government Area is situated in Northern Cross River State, approximately eight hours drive from Calabar the State Capital to access.

According to the journalist, the traditional practice is presently ongoing in a remote part of Cross River State South South Nigeria where, young girls are being sold out for a kind of marriage known as, "The Money Marriage" and the victim, Money Woman.

The practice which is as old as tradition itself is carried out without the consent of the girl who in most cases, is sold out to clear debts owed by a family relation even before her birth.

At each of the communities visited, victims of the Money Marriage through the help of the missionary were quick to share with Channels Television their experiences as Money Women or Money wives.

The Money Woman practice according to tribes in becheve is a status thing and a show of pride as there is virtually no family in Becheve that is not without a Money Woman.

The victims are most times used to settle debts owed by her relatives and when her husband dies, his next-of-kin marries her and if the girl-wife dies without giving birth to children, her parents are obligated to bring a replacement in accordance with customary demands.

In cases where a money woman gets pregnant by another man, the husband hold claims of the children and if the woman eventually gives birth to a baby girl, she is in turn sold out to a willing buyer without her consent.

‘Money Wives’ are not allowed the right to education and in every sale, the girl’s opinion is not sought. She is the bread winner.

Victims of this marriage are sold for as low as Ten Thousand Naira, few goats and pigs, tubers of yam, depending on the man's bargain power.

The buyer determines what he does with the money woman even if he uses her for ritual purposes.

Once a girl is sold out for Money Marriage, she is considered dead by her own immediate family and warned never to return back irrespective of how she is being treated by her husband or his relatives.

Is it not time that everything about African tradition is abolished? From the ooni of I've to the emir of sultan of sokoto.

Tradition is really keeping Africa in bondage. I wonder why the British colonists didn't outlaw all these rubbish.

native barbarism

Mind ur business

My dear me self I know dat place but didnt think that those things still exist. But the famous obudu cattle ranch is in that. Local government Na so lol.

Abagworo:

Because nobody is getting hurt by oyibo strange laws. Man marrying man is a choice both men choose to make.

This one Africans are doing is causing harm to those innocent girls who are forced into slavery.

Debazent:
This is slavery and this happens in almost all communities of this nation,if not the world at large.

na lie !
It's what their Christianity teaches them

It is not that common I served in Becheve community secondary school as a corper.
