That's exactly what I was saying but they won't stop attacking me. Africa needs more people like you to be liberated.

Don't mind them jawe

In a sane environment, a proper research will be carried out to know the cause of the problem and possible ways to prevent it from happening again but a typical black man will say that is the way God has written their death

Am not opposed to bride price so don't get me wrong. It's a cultural exercise, an instrument of identity of a particular people. Who am I to sweep aside a people's cultural identity?

I still hold the notion that the idea of bride price has for sometime now been misconstrued, therefore greed & gluttony informs our requests to meet some needs.

You a very good point

janellemonae:
But have u heard anyone of those women talk abt bride price if they want to divorce? They just leave and get a lawyer. Bride price is not a consideration at all.

But it seems like a big deal for this woman, and it's probably because it was expensive.

Nice one bros.. You have spoken wisely

omooba969:
@bolded,

You have contradicted yourself coz you struggled to divorce those two lines I bolded.

Why do u agree that bride price is overrated?

Why do they come at such exorbitant price?

What is the essence of the extravagant exercise?

Has the original purpose not lost already?

Shall we begin to examine the motive behind the hike in price?

My guess is as yours, it's a no brainer.

A news like this is the reason why I think bride price is overrated

Mind you, bride price don't usually come with exorbitant price unless in a few eastern part of the county

The original purpose is not lost. The motive behind paying bride price is relative. To each his own understanding about it

Treasuredlove:
my brother even paid N1:20kobo as bride price. He sha dropped N5 and his father in law still jokingly teases him about collecting his change. I am sure that N5 is still somewhere in the man's room

That's it jawe... I don't have any problem with bride pride cos it's part of our tradition to fulfill marriage rites

Boyooosa:
These are the feminists I consider serious. Doing the needful.

Not the ones hiding under the wimp of feminism to throw tantrums on Nairaland

omooba969:
Counter my submission then.

Though I agree that bride price is overrated but saying it's borne out of greed and gluttony is a wrong notion

Some tribes collect as low as N500 for bribe price, so what's gluttony about N500?

Couples disgracing themselves on social media.. Nawa

omooba969:
Bride price is born out of greed & gluttony.

That's not true bro

Nice one egbon Toks

Men should not be cruel to their wives because they want her to show the yard of wife material she's made of. Endeavour to get your wife the necessary equipment needed to make her life and work less strenuous.

When you talk about getting a washing machine for your wife, some men will start ranting that you only know a wife material by the number of clothes she can wash with her bare hands.. SMH

You story sounds like that of Esau in the Bible who sold his birthright for a plate of food

This is tragic

RIP

This is tragic

RIP

Seriously it's not easy to manage a women. No be small stress ehn

What I see here is that she's not ready to be committed

Bad market for both of them

But wetin come be police own for this kind matter?

It's very rare for an international footballer to be pressed during a football match due to the fact that they take caution of when to eat and what to eat

It only happens in Nigerian league where a player will eat 10 wraps of fufu or a plate of pounded yam before going into the pitch

LaudableXX:
Someone is trying to correct you, but you are still persisting in drawing your erroneous conclusions. Facebook is NOT and can never be described as a letter of recommendation, not even some of the time. The kind of content people post on Facebook, range from things that are comically ridiculous, to outright hype. Very little of it is true. So who on earth would describe it as a letter of recommendation? If you had even said Linkedin which is a professional networking site which deals with real life scenario, career issues, and executive management insights, as well as company related info, you might even have a point. But Facebook? Haba!

[i] Whether you agree with me or not, employers use unhealthy ways to screen people when it comes to job.. Be wise! This is Nigeria not Yankee

Whether, people post comically related stuff on Facebook or not, it's sha a social page? Or would you deny that fact?


Leave matter for LAWMA abeg

LaudableXX:
Which dirty letter of recommendation? From Facebook, of all places??! So is it compulsory to have a Facebook account? These guys ask for such stuff in order to drive traffic to their sites, and send you unsolicited pop-up messages! Why not have a Linkedin account or a Quora account? In fact, is it by force to be on social media? Anytime i get asked for a Facebook account, I leave it blank.

[i] Wetin this one dey talk?

Can't you see where I said it's "sometimes" the first letter of recommendation.. Abi you wear bra for eyes ni

Say whatever you like, it will never change the fact that your social page goes a long way in describing your personality without meeting you in person

Next time try to understand something before ranting

I have cheated on her before and she accepted me back (though the cheating was at the elementary stage)


I think it's strength on her path to actually forgive me. Ever since then, I don sit tight sha

Toks2008:
This is why i am 100% transparent in a faceless world because im too clean to start hiding pics or real names..though i have learned something from your experience cos my facebook name is slightly different from my main name not because of anything else but i have not officially changed from Kadiri to Olatokunbo.

Most people who hide identity online are sinister in their ways..quote me anywhere

It's true to some extent

UJIC:
What if you said you do not have any?

A social media account was requested for

I hope people will learn.

I opened an account on an international platform few weeks ago and I was asked to provide my Facebook ID for verification.

Sometimes, social media is not a playground as you think. It's sometimes the first letter of recommendation

Na na one man go climb this one oooo

I wish them well

lefulefu:
my doctor friend last year told me of a lady he had sex with at the back of his car.according to him as he was smashing the lady she suddenly had a call from her boyfriend asking why she wasn't at home yet.she said she was on top of bike. my doctor friend said he just shook his head in disgust as he continued with the smashing made uncomplimentary remarks dat d girl is just a cheap slut and he felt for her boyfriend.anyway he said he gave her transport money after the sex duel.when he was gisting me about d issue he was just using downgrading comments on d lady.

That guy na bastard

Bbox:
I remember seeing my ex in my friend room...
I forgot to pick up my charger... And i saw her on top of his bed.... I was very shock but I wasn't jealous... We couldn't say a word to each other, i took the charger and went off... I said to him privately" i would see you in the joint"
That day ba! Boys are boys

Some guys go bring down the head of their padi
