Before going to the East for my marriage introduction, I was skeptic because of what people do say about marriage in the East(Igbo land). But to my surprise the list giving to me was far from what people do say. Their marriage also wasn't as expensive as some part of Benue state where I came from. I was giving 3 list to choose from one or the one that is best for me.

We are Igbos, We don't sell our daughters.





God bless Ndigbo!

Never believe people's lies all the time... especially the ones on nairaland..

Good you confirmed how cheap and easy it is to marry from Anambra state.

Anambra marriage list is one of the best in this country

are you sure it's from Anambra

Unlike imo and akwaibom

The critical aspect of marital rite is bride price and it is one thing that is widely acceptable to solidify marriage.
Bride price varies from tribe to tribe and it depends on the custom and tradition of each family.
Some people believe that it is a way to safeguard marriage while others believe, it is a way of selling their children especially the girls cheaply.
But, whatever the case maybe.
It is expected of both families to take rightful steps and decisions when their children are proposing to marry.


Here is a A TYPICAL MARRIAGE LIST IN IGBO LAND.
YORUBAS, do have their list also,
But we are not so sure of the HAUSAS.
Can any Hausas here tell us if you have anything like Bride Price/Marriage List OR what your Bride Price looks like?
Thanks in anticipation.

Not for just anybody.
We can testify to that first hand.
Real Igbo men don't complain and they can go over and beyond for them babes.
Madam Ngo of [color=#006600][/color] is just smiling here sheepishly!
She knows what's up!

Which one is requirement for born again Christians only??

All this stress just to own a pussy??

Now that the world is thriving towards gender equality.. I think they should start groom price as well
