So if it's that expensive, how are the poor marrying in those areas? The lady in question comes from a Royal Family so the list ideally should be more expensive but even with that, it's still negotiable.

Imo state is expensive when compared to other igbo states. Akwacross isn't expensive if you jam a good and reasonable family.

How do you know? Are you married or hearsay?

Shortyy:
Dear future husband, if you really love me, list will not stop you from marrying me.

Nawa ooooo

Nawa, this is equivalent to 50 bags of cement, 500 Pcs of blocks and 4 trips of sand. Nawa o

That list is very reasonable to compare mine...

300,000 father money
200,000 mother
300,000 entertainment
200,000 Dowry
Those are the major

Other small items worth another 700,000 thousand, but at the end of the day, less than 500 thousands will settle everything.

My uncle married from Mbaise. My cousin married from Ngor okpala. A friend married from Ehime Mbano. Do i go on?

If you’re from that area , it’s a family to family thing, the man knows how to go around his way.. likewise the family ... it’s not something for the rich or poor..

Hearsay, but I listed these parts as expensive areas na.

This is just an example of a greedy family. It's not a standard thing as per Akwa Ibom or even that village. Some families won't even request that much. Very wrong.

Lalas247:
The list is small seff
Another A4 sheet will do .... some guys don’t know the value of a good woman ... he should buy it all and then some ....

My own list na book
Please don’t quote me o ... it’s friday

See this one o. Does this list prevents the wife from insulting the husband or does it immune the marriage from challenges? Does this list make her fantastic? If they two agree to marry, what plays out is that love covereth all things and not because of one huge list. Africans only thinking of their belly while their counterparts are progressing in spheres of life

I'm surprise oooo....

that I did...I give compliment sometimes but so it could mean toasting

one FIFA approved football and pump. lmao

OkaNaUbe:
Marrying from Akwa Ibom/Calabar, Mbano/Mbaise/Owerri/Etiti(IMO State), Ikwerre/Opobo/Calabari(Rivers State), Ngwo(Enugu) and one part of Abia State, is expensive. Pls get it straight, NOT ALL PARTS OF IMO STATE is expensive to marry from. Ask me the areas and I will tell you for free.

BTW, this list will be more expensive since the lady seems to be a Princess.

We abia no the give ladies expensive, mention were u can marry costly from abia north,centra and south

My brother, IMO State is expensive,period! Anambra that i used to think is expensive is not apart from Nnewi. But when you do the comparison, they are miles apart. As for the parts i listed, this is not hear say because my cousin and uncle are related to me and then my friend who’s also close. But all the same, that’s their tradition and it’s not a must one marries there. If your power no reach, try else where.

I agree that indegenes are favoured than "outsiders" but the extent that the family can help is limited. trust me.

I know what I am telling you. Not "uncle said this, friend that". BTW Some parts in Anambra is expensive, especially if you are not from there.

Make your findings about marriages in Orlu, Oru, Orsu LGA, (Imo State)etc and get back to me.

You give cash for most of those items. Far below the market value. Say, Goat of 30k you may give 10k.
Just have someone who is familiar with their traditions on your side.

No o ..... too early
Maybe evening time when sun goes down ....besides these days I hardly go out.

abike12:

you're a rapist and I reported this post

chai!!!

Imagine a business guy that is managing his business with 10 million naira, you use around 3m to 4m which may still not be enough for traditional marriage, then 1m to 2m for wedding and the guy will turn to hussling middleman in the market"onye òsò afia.Chai there is God oooo.Anyway Chiomas, Ifeomas , Ebubes, Ifunanyas are still very available or ladies from other zones ," mummy anyi si".

OK...better.
hmmmmm....well better plans to think about

I'm very close to nature...I prefer hanging around such places...

The list is only letting you know you have responsibilities to take care of after marriage, that’s how prepared you are, and that your capable of being a man, that you can handle such without fricking out, if you’re wise and very close to the family, you won’t pay up to that, nobody wants to sell their child to slavery therefore making both couples hungry after married,they’re testing you to know how capable you are, it’s a strategy the bride family uses, if you flaunt as a big man you have every reason to pay what’s on the list, the most important part is demonstrating how true you love their daughter ... will you let you daughter go into marriage without knowing how prepared the man is?kukuma collect bride price from mere man that begs to eat. So after spending millions on your kids... you just want one man with no source of income or family ties to marry away your daughter then a year later you come on Nairaland and Narate how their marriage crash? it is stated clearly that both families should let the new couples enjoy the marriage, no one will call you for anything after marriage ask other sources and Do your finding right. I’m speaking from experience. My father in law even gifted my wife a Jeep on that night. does dis mean the family is hungry? Unik3030 is just being stupid.

Nice one!!!!

After paying for all these and most probably footing the bill of the church wedding and reception, the "wife" will one day wake up and shout "gender equality"....... And you expect the man not not resort to domestic violence!!!!!

As far as am concerned, the man is buying an item....

African marriages are majorly about buying women from their families..... There is no love involved in this one...... Let's not deceive ourselves...

After marrying the woman, sorry, "purchasing the woman" from her family, you want to stop him from not having extra-marital affairs or from practicing domestic violence when he feels it necessary ........ E no go work naaaa.....

African parents, please stop seeing your daughters like animals that you rear into growth and then sell off for a bounty profit...... Stop seeing your sons as your retirement investment/pension plan......

In a way, we are no better than the African chiefs and kings that used to sell off their people to the white men as slaves in exchange for precious goods.....
