Bus drivers, conductors, Wheel Barrow pushers, Vulcanizers, painters, carpenters and Shoemakers etc in igbo land are married....If u av sense, u would have known that they are married because they, who are the poorest in the society can afford igbo bride price.

Remove ur mouth from wetin u no sabi

Again you are sick in the head. What makes you think you are more igbo than me? You just registered account today and you've been ranting.

Empty words.... Even emptier and meaningless insults.

Can't be my fault that you lack emotional intelligence. Go sort yourself out. Make an appointment with your psychiatrist or psychologist.

Insults are the last resort of ignorant and desperate individuals bereft of solid points to argue. Pity!!! grin

Typical brainless rants of your lots. All you do here is to vomit meaningless comments. I expected a detailed counter argument superior to what I posted.

But instead what I'm getting is just a brainless rant from a jobless, teenage, illiterate tribal bigot.

And for the records I'm of the Igbo extraction. More Igbo than you can even imagine.


Shut up Sir , well detailed explanations is a total waste of time for empty people who know nothing about igbo culture.

Finally someone talks about this

1) in igbo land ...your village and your mom's village owns u , not your family ...your family is just caretakers ...so u must marry her from the village then family

2) most of the list given to you would be used for your traditional marriage , rice , drinks , and the rest

3) the list is made big very big like in my village so that u can't pay all , it's believed once u pay all the woman is yours for ever and u can do what ever u like

The idea is to give u a big list u can't pay ...so that u can owe your in-laws ...and with that treat your wife well

All you have to say is my in-laws this is what I have for now ...we know they don't complete the marriage of a woman ...we would keep paying the debt as long as I'm alive ...simple

4) it's insulting to pay the bride price that I are told , u should bargain it and beg them to accept what u have

Infact as a man your people would from vex and leave u would go and beg them and beg them to come back , and so forth it's just ceremony to show u are paying from your noise to get the beautiful flower

5) no body talks about what the girls people give to her , in my place mbaise , we buy her all her kitchen equipments , from the smallest to the biggest after her white weeding or her first delivery

Two for each delivery we go for omugu , they carry everything she and her husband people would eat for 3 months



Finally igbo weeding is nothing compared to kalabari, opobo bonny and okrika
Finally, someone who knows the tradition. I'm pleased.

Lol, having gone through all their comments here, all i can deduce is that many of them are rushing igbo girls but it's the bride price that keeps discouraging them. well played my people , if you can't take the heat Bleep off the fire. no igbo man is complaining about our women's bride price, it's all this outsiders that are crying more than the bereaved. marry free from your tribe and leave us alone. our beautiful ladies never even reach all of us sef. marriage dey happen every Saturday for Igbo land u dey here dey cry Lmao.

In my village (in Anambra) bride price is just ₦400..,just as the op said, it's the lists that normally makes it look big, and this list is negotiable.

In my entire life, I have never seen where parents refused to give out their daughter for marriage just because the item in the lists ain't complete. You can negotiate to bring it down. Though some items listed are compulsory.


A man can marry a lady with 2 million naira in a family where another man married the lady's sister with ₦200, 000. So it all depends on how the man present himself.

200k!!! I go sand you if you nor comot here!!!!

Will u keep quiet.

How dare u talk about igbo marriage or igbo list wen u have never ever seen any list? Stop dabbling into a culture u have zero knowledge about.

Must your conversation start with insults?

Even the op did not argue with expensive list of items rather he only differentiate list from bride price.

It's your type that will be shouting and complaining about Police brutality but enjoys cyber bullying, I know your type.

Why calling Imo State here? You can respond to his reply without state-shaming others.

The funny thing here is, you might be one broke person in reality but here you are typing senseless stuff about others.

It is a known fact that Imo men are the best when it comes to taking care of their family, that is why they don't have high rate of murder between couples, adultery etc, the way your state do.

You can deny this but it is the fact.


Odiegwu.. Na so.All the imo girls i know want to marry from Anambra. All except none. I school in Enugu.

How many more threads will be created by your ladies begging for suitors??! Enjoy!!!
The list is usually high but very very negotiable. You can be asked to bring 20 tubers of yam and you'll negotiate to 10 tubers. The fact is that you're not even expected to buy everything on the list
