Ekwy Omalicha:
am using your head….stop arguing on what you know nothing about, bashr8 and Odumchi ve properly schooled you on Igbo customs and traditions but u ve vehemently refused to learn one or two things from them.
What re you on about? from high bride price to female dis-inheritance in Igbo land. Stop trying too hard; you can’t be more catholic than the pope.

chiboy1928: Why should imo girls be expensive when majority of them are illitrates,ugly,wit expired pussy,I tink their bride price should be the most cheapest bride price,atleast if it is reduced to 300 naira it will beta,and the funny tings is dat u get to see most of dis imo girls 35 upward still not yet married,I would never advised anyone to marry an imo lady cos most of them are bad and with bad characters.

Revolva: Well una get time dey pay bride price when I nak d babe give am belle - emergency wedding haha nau dey reign o -then we go settle marriage any year in d future wey I don bouyant

Solozzo:

Are you a prostitute?

asha 80: my maternal side of family comes from a notorious area for this high bride price issue.when i see my female cousins from my maternal side(most of them in their mid and late thirties) i just have pity for them because a lot of people are beginning to shy away from them on knowing the area they are from in imo state.something has to be done fast otherwise them go here am.i have told one of them that they(females) would have to be the one to liberates themselves and their female offsprings by protesting this nonsense but then again some of them actually promoted this high pride issue when they were younger like saying things like 'we are not cheap' whenever the this issue rose up in our family those days.i guess they are not beating their chests now.

Common sense is truly not common…..purge yourself of self induced bewilderment......quit making an azz of yourself, you must not post on every topic...am out.

Theblessed: [size=13pt]Finally, for the Imo State of Assembly and Ohaneze Ndi Igbo:

We, the daughters of Igbo land are saying that, our BRIDE PRICE and INHERITANCES must go hand in hand before, we pack our bags, please!!!!! [/size]

dayokanu: [size=14pt]Everyone is saying in my community we dont collect, others are saying we collect just 100Naira

So which state or community is the house of Assembly talking about if it doesnt affect people in Iboland

Maybe its the people in Katsina they are referring to[/size]

joejeezy: How much exactly are we talking about here?

cyril83: Igbo people and their greediness, what's the essence of selling out your daughter as if they wil not collect penny from their in law again....can't even dream of marrying an igbo lady, igbo gurls r so selfish and flirt.

bashr8: how much was your bride price? not the price of the whole marriage ceremony oo

berem: bia! Madam kobo! I bu onye imo? Obi gi n'ile di na akuko a anyi na ako.or am I dreaming? U are really serious discussing issues about this topic.hmmmm!

Kobojunkie:

I can discuss issues that pertain to Indians in india. I can discuss issues that concern people in remote parts of South Africa, and Lesotho, I can discuss Chinese related issues. I can even discuss issues that have to do with people in Ivory coast, and sudan. But when I choose to discuss issues that relate to Ibos, and Imolites, I get asked what right I have to ?

berem: of course u have every right to discuss about anyone u wish to but u know am kinda suprised! Don't get it twisted.am just expressing my observation.

Theblessed:

[size=16pt]Listen, you're living in cuckoo land with regards to Igbo traditions!

The women who are living the realities of this unfair system are informing you of their every day experiences and you're here arguing blindly.

Yes, "Idu Ulo" is an ancient Igbo tradition, and not all clans, hamlets and families are respecting it, in this present time hence, the suffering of these women.

Also, [b]it is an Igbo tradition, for a father when he is alive to allocate any of his village land - I repeat, any of his village land (not those in towns, not shares etc) if he wishes, to his first daughter mainly - whether married or not, and no one dares take it from her - lai, lai, lai!

But these days, the son's would take it from her - is it not our culture and shouldn't we 'Uphold' it?

Now tell me, how many clans, hamlets and families are respecting that, today None, and you are here promoting respect for Igbo traditions, the ones you chose, abi?

We only have to respect those ones that favours you and your clans men, abi??

In that case, all Igbo traditions should now, be reviewed and quick to stop these injustices...!

Imaine, you come here to inform me about our traditions - I am "Ada na Nne and Nna" and you can't tell me about my culture![/size][/b]

Kobojunkie:

Surprised about what? That I know of issues that also concern women of ibo decent?

berem: I dunno my bride price.that's between my dad and my hubby.in Orlu where I come from,bride price isn't much.it depends on what both in laws agree on.but meeehn! I fear Mbaise and Mbano people.dem go carry gold medal for bride pricing!

One_Naira: Na wa ooo!!! Every thread, every f2king thread on this website, people have to turn it tribal. Every thread tribalist have to show up and say sh1t, despite having zero knowledge of the information they speak of, they would rather continue shouting as if na gospel them come sing. Don't ya'll get tired of it? SMH, SMFH. I am definitely getting tired of this sh1t, mschweee.

@ thread

I read someone mention Imo state girls aren't getting married due to the high bride prices. Is this true or just another NL non-reality claiming?
I know plenty of non-Imo men married to Imo women.
