Why don't you let your friend see the girl's family and ask?

@ Poster,


Why are you not comfortable with the norms and traditions offered there by the woman's people, are you not a Nigerian ? don't you have culture and traditions from where you from.

OH GOD, this is interesting,

oboy,
them no wan tell you.
If e no hold money well well. just tell the person to prepare to enter poverty for all the money wey im go spend plus borrow put for the wedding.
E get another thread here wey them dey ask why Igbo men no dey marry until their 40, 50, 60. Na the reason be this, dem need to get the money for this first.
the girl people go demand things reach heaven and earth wey go damage bank account,

shuppie:


OH GOD, this is interesting,

U can say that again

@topic
without making any controversial comment,ill suggest you tell your guy to make sure his pocket is very deep and he should prepare for a very large financial commitment

OMO IBO:

u were trying to avoid being controversial but uve succeded in making your self sound (put lightly)like an idiot.
u really wanted to make this statement so there was absolutely no need to add this 'without making any controversial comment'.

hey,why the insults, am i right or wrong in telling the guy to tell his friend to have very deep pockets?pls be perfectly objective, does ibo weddings not require large financial committments on the guy?
we all have diffrent cultures and ways of approaching the marriage thing,like in yoruba marriage the wife's family does most of the spending,some see it as wrong but thats why cultures are diffrent, pls desist with the insults

Firstly, it's Igbo, not Ibo (a corruption of the word "Igbo".

Now, Igbo culture is not monolithic in nature and varies from Nsukka to Owerri to Ikwerre to Nnewi to Ohafia. Even within Igbo autonomous communities, different clans and families have varying views about the financial necessities of marriage.

Tell your friend to have a frank and candid discussion on the financial aspects of the marriage ceremonies. Make sure he does not put himself into serious debt because of the ceremonies. If the girl and her family are more interested in her (the girl's) happiness than in signaling to all and sundry that "they have arrived", there should be no serious obstacle, financial or otherwise, to the formalization of the union.

OMO IBO:

poorly disguised tribalism. try again dude.

you r still not answering the question, are ibo weddings financially daunting or not?remember the poster is asking on behalf of his friend and he needs to be prepared,if u are really an omo ibo like ur handle says then u will be totally objective and lay it down as it is

truth be say, no money no marriage. abi why you think say i nova marry yet? u think say i be small pikin? dafur no get money.

anyway, tell ya friend make him try get money for the stuff otherwise make him try another girl

all right, to be serious, he needs the money but it shouldnt be so. i really dont want to say more than this

ah ah!!!
y are you people being sooo baised,
the truth, there is NO tribe in Nigeria where a man "dashes" his daughter in the name of marriage , obviously something has to exchange hands,
the extends depends on the girls parents and the guy that wants to marry.
Some guys ar also so caught up that they want their wedding to "happen!!"

Please let me ask, Don't teachers get married to Igbo girls?

Contrary to what most people believe believe, most of them are not. Common sense should tell you that if they are financially daunting like that, the poor among them will remain unmarried or marry from other tribes. Their culture varies from place to place and you can't use one place to judge others. I use to think the same until last year when my sister's brother in law got married and when i raised that question, he said that he only spent $500 for traditional rituals and visits to the bride's family, about $5 for dowry and is budgeting about $10K for traditional wedding and how much you spend for your traditional wedding is at your own discretion. You may decide to invite a few guests and spend $500 etc.

Please let me ask, Don't teachers get married to Igbo girls?

Exactly; if that rumor is true, how come teachers that earn N30K a month got married in iboland?

it differs so why put igbo in da basis of analysis, na wah ooooooooo.try my town and come back and tell me wat u found out,

bla bla bla about (igbo not ibo ) unu hapu kwanu anyi aka biko now igbo traditional wedding .

Igbo this, Igbo that. Tribalists and jealous people everywhere. If you feel like spending a huge amount of money for your wedding, its up to you. Inugo. For all I know, many poor people are getting married to Igbo girls. But definitely the girl's parent won't do the spending for you when they are doing you a favour by allowing you to marry their beautiful daughters. It's people that have ugly daughters that will pay you when you are marrying their daughter because you are doing them a favour. Onye na- alu nwanyi mara mma ga akwu ugwo ya. Inugo.

LMAO
soup wey sweet,na money kill am

ify i wan marry u now!! inugo

ikeyman00:

Nna m hapu ndi onuma na esu. Before long, they will tell you that igbo carpenters, okada men, labourers and brick layers remain bachelors because they cannot afford to marry igbo women. Some strange accusations are better left unanswered.

k ify preparing

@DEEPZONE
if i dont have common sense,ill appreciate you helping me out with a little,after all you must have an abundance of it
first of all,its cheap for some when the wife works with the husband/family especially when they both love each other,so they ll either waive some of the demands e.t.c and if the man clearly doesnt have the means then they will demand based on his financial capability,most other cultures where i have witnessed their trad marriages,irrespective of who the husband is,either rich or poor its the same thing give or take some little diffrence, in ibo trad wedding what they ll demand of say cc onoh or ojukwu's son will bemuch more than the inlaw will demand if it were some random okada driver or civil servant
@poster
ibo marriage odikwa serious o inugo
