Good morning nairaladers, pls pardon my errors.

I met this girl late last year, she's nice, godly and has most of the qualities i want in a wife. i love her, though her dad is late and her mum should be in her late thirties.

Yesterday we were chatting and she was like her dad didn't do the necessary rites on her mum and hence according to tradition i will have to pay her mum's bride price to her family before i will be allowed to start her own (my babe) marriage rites. I just weak cos have never heard of such. Where i won see the money for double bride price?

Pls nairaladers, have any of you come across such ridiculous tradition or she's making it up herself cos i feel like quiting the whole thing.
I just tire. Your opinions are welcomed

Modified: she's from obiaruku in ukuwani local government area of Delta State.

. You never enter, billing reloaded don start.

Man knack puna finish die go join his ancestors and they are telling you to pay for puna wey another man knack.

Egungun, na express you dey enter so.
If you love yourself, leave such disjointed family and pick race if you want to have rest in life.

I honestly wish we can get to a stage as a country where this POS transactions can be traced considering there is a registration process involved in owning a POS

Every POS transaction can be traced to the machine that was used in doing it. The machines are registered in someone or an organization's name and address.
Banks telling you that they can't be traced aren't being truthful. Banks cover this frauds, they are reluctant to stress themselves. But let it be a case that EFCC or police fraud unit wants to pursue and you see them nab the person with ease.

Banks are not helping matters in this fraud issue because they like to cover the perpetrators.
They are reluctant to do their job.

Ifakiland:
Una go just dey post useless imaginary fake story....which one be careless withdrawal, we be like mumu for your eyes

. Boy, there's cardless withrawal with pos. Even zenith Bank has cardless withrawal with ATM, but it's not every ATM that carries it. Technology advancement.

DeLaRue:
Shell is a multinational company with its global HQ in the UK. It is not a Dutch (Holland) company.

Last year, it changed its name from Royal Dutch Shell to just 'Shell', it's original British name.

. Why did they put the "Dutch" there?

advanceDNA:
He can’t be that stupid

With the 20,000 capacity of O2 arena, Davido made around 1.5M£....he will pay tax ooo

why will he want to throw away over 20% of his earnings

Is that not witch craft..

. It's lack of wisdom. A.K.A. youthful bragging.
This one go pain am reach bone.

farouk2much:
No be say they're weak.... Putin is stronger than the fvcking NATO.... Long live putin

. Try and talk like an informed adult. You talk more like a kid that picked up his father's phone and deseprate to get attention.

Gaddafi1:
The Ukraine president should simply surrender and stop toying with the lives of millions of people. He is hiding in a bunker and will eventually escape from the country while Russia will install a puppet. He trusted USA and NATO to join... NOW THEY HAVE HIM. The West is actually afraid of a Nuclear war and so does the United Nations

. Everyone is afraid of nuclear war including Putin but Putin is like, this people are already bleeping me since, so if it comes to let all man perish, no problem. He can't take the insult from US and NATO anymore.

Totilopussylick:
So it's a crime to give out what you can afford

Enemies of progress

. That's the hight of foolishness and irresponsibility. Any small spark and hundreds of people go up in flames. Massive disaster it would be.

obembet:
Having a baby is hard work and people need to appreciate the Labor pain woman passthrough. Labor is one of the most severe pains which has ever evaluated and its fear is one of the reasons ladies does not want to marry.

Now, what I have observed so far whenever woman give birth, the next questions will be weitin u born? Na boy or girl? . To me, I think this is most annoying question. Why not congratulate the woman first instead of asking unnecessary questions.

Why some Nigerians like asking this question?

. Nothing wrong with that girl, just to know who is joining us. Whether we are adding another boy or another girl. Nothing wrong.

Why should hijab be a contentious issue in the country when we have population of people who are muslims
Have anyone forced ur sister to use hijab?
We have muslims who don't use hijab and no one is forcing it on them, why can't you allow those who chose to use it be?
You desire freedom for the world but you somehow think that that freedom should be denied Muslim women who chose to wear hijab. And you are complaining that Nigeria is backward.

Read and understand my mindset before replying.

NOETHNICITY:
The UAE you mentioned, are women not allowed to use headscarf, wear hijab or go out without hijab. The intolerant hypocrites here are the christians who can't stand the freedom granted a muslim woman to practice her faith. You're saying southern muslims can't be daft enough to talk about hijab, because you would love to see them ignore when you deny them the use of it. If headscarf isn't so much to talk about why can't you people overlook a muslim woman who chooses to use it?

. So the only thing that the useless IGP can learn from the police of UAE is hijab? Especially at this time that hijab is a contentious issue in the country?
He introduced it to divert attention from his failure in office.
Last time I checked, hijab isn't even an Islamic dressing. It's an Arab dressing. And that's why Turkey that is an Islamic country doesn't use hijab.
It's not allowed there. Their reason being that it's an Arab costume and not Islamic costume. Turkey is a European country.
I have no problem with anyone using it. Infact a have a second cousin, a Christian that use it. But bringing hijab to the front bunner as if it's a pressing issue is mischievous.

motymop:
It was because of covid.

Stop spreading lies

. You said it's during covid and I helped to tell you that you are wrong and you jump to talk thrash.
You were emphasizing on WHEN and now you jump to WHY.
Money spent on your school fees for good to take play betnaija.

Mumusaphire:
Taking Panadol on someone else headache. Can't dey mind their business ni.
The woman sef na mumu. Are u not a Muslim, so u should know that Muslim married many wives. Even mercy on her own, will get second wife.

. That's not the issue. It's sleeping with your friend's husband behind her back while you yourself are even married.

motymop:
This was during covid

. No. It's just two weeks ago, during the last Macron's visit.

FIRDAUS3:
This is international practice, ....

. So the international practice we need in our police at this critical time of security challenges is hijab?
Not training and retraining? Not stamping out corruption? Not ensuring efficiency and welfare of personnel? Not infrastructure and equipment?
That's why I said that cavemen are leading us backwards.

tutudesz:
There are different kind bomb and with different kind of damage.

Bwahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!

Jeezuzpick:
Not just scattered around, they would be in pieces!

. Yeah. With decapitated body parts.

Igbo girl installed as Yoruba king?

Roger3D:
Yes cos that's what airstrikes do. They cause fires that roast you to death. That's the point

. These people were gathered together and burnt. Or burnt in different places but gathered together before the photoshoot.
Bomb from air raids would throw them around in the vicinity and not pack them together like sardines. They would be scattered around.

NOETHNICITY:
Even if you break up with the north don't you have muslims too in the south?
Ok you hope to subdue the southern muslims and impose ur idea of an ideal society on them. Why are you people always pained when a muslim woman allowed to use something as simple as a headscarf?

. The problem isn't with Islam. It's with hypocrites that practice Islam in Nigeria. Some of the best and beautiful countries are Islamic countries. Turkey, UAE, Jordan.
Why can't Nigeria Muslims be as progressive, reformed, informed and civilised as the ones in those fine Islamic countries?
Why do nigeria's own version of Islam draw us backward to ignominy? Why can't it help to move the country forward.
We are still talking hijab and cattle grazing in this age!!!
Southern Muslims can't be that daft.

alfarouq:
Just come clean, you are only angry because he modified and incorporated Hijab into the police dress code. Else, why is this coming now?

Of what use is hijab to the efficiency of our security personnel. A country where you carry religion on your head but still more corrupt than the devil himself. Was it not this very IGP that was having issues with police service commission because he was fighting to shield criminal Abba Kyari until Kyari further finished himself?

When a man has failed in his office, he would start playing the religious card. That's what he is doing.
So any Muslim crying out against his failure would shut up and any non-muslim speaking against him would be perceived as talking because of his Islamic tendencies.
That's the shameful game he is playing.

This man would go down in history as the most useless IGP in Nigeria.
He tried deseprately to cover up Abba Kyari. Now this.
How does Hijab improve the performance of our female officers.
If we don't brake away from this northern cavemen, we are not going anywhere in this nation.

I remember that year. Northerners milked Peter Odili so much that he wasted a lot of Rivers money buying them. At the end of the day, it was Yaradua that came out.

Now they are milking Tinubu while Daura man in milking Amechi by the side.
Let them continue.

[quotes author=Karlovych post=110744011] Hmm, Igbos!![/quote]. Shit-head. What have this got to do with Igbos? How does it relate to Igbos?

lightskinnigga:
Only igbos doing good things for Nigerians


But Nigerians would never love them

. Let him declare for presidency now and you would see the whole north and south west gang up against him and tell him to go and contest in biafra.
But they won't tell him to carry his road fixing to biafra.

Cholls:
My brothers and sisters but why is this kind of thing being done by people from south south clan... Reminds me of this woman below... Hey! This is just a pattern I have observed I'm not tribalistic o

. It's better to hit a person's car than to throw bombs at them and use AK47 to wipe out entire villages or mine their skulls.

HITdemUP:
The Ukrainian President will eventually surrender. I think it will be wise of him to surrender now to avoid further shed of innocent blood. RIP to the coach. Putin biko

. If you know what is at stake you won't give him that advise. It's not as straight forward as you think. Most countries in that region have been trying to be free from Russia or correctly put, Putin's bullying.
They are taking a chance at freedom from a bully. If they hold out for much longer, they would have succeeded in frustrating Putin with the help of other countries. Whites think with the larger picture in mind. We. Africans and especially Nigerians only think of immediate comfort.

GreatAxeMan:
Erudite SKULLers. If a SKULLer invites you for a meal, just run.

. .... And they want Tilinmbu to become president so that � skull minning would be recognized as a legitimate business in Nigeria eventually.

hepzhibaa:
Haha, is our president romancing America? lately he as been pleasing our American friends .

. And you are rejoicing? You should know he is about to take another loan on top our head.
He only chill with people that would give him loan.

Triangles1:
Don't be surprised the west cooked this war in other to seize some of Russian investment, Putin supposed to carry his billionaire families along this war, it may look as if Russia is winning but the west are on top of the game,
If you know you know.

Wisdom is profitable power only exhaust the strength.

Putin on hardwork.
The west on smart work.

. Honestly, that's what is happening. Putin is all brawns only.
Definitely he will capture Kyiv but he wouldn't win and even if he stops the operations, the west would still use the sanctions to ruin Russia and drag them back in such a way that it would take a very long time for Russia to recover.

Russia is getting bleeped real hard. Though I don't support US and NATO.

GoodHardDick:
We have nothing to say until we have heard Timaya's side of the story

. You don't even need to hear from that disrespectful tout singing nonsense. That's his true nature.
