Please fellow Nairalanders, especially our brothers and sisters from the eastern part of Nigeria.

My older brother is about to get married to an igbo girl ( reason best known to him, but still unknown to we his family members. WHETHER IM DON GO ROBB CBN WE NOR KNOW) and he went to enugu last weekend for the second time because his inlaw to be sent for him.
After some deliberation between them, he said the man told him since edo state where we reside is quit far from enugu that he should convert everything on the list they gave him into RAW CASH and pay it into his account. That he shouldn't bother himself conveying his family members to the east,

HIS REASONS ARE
1. So that the expenses will not be too much for him ( my brother).
2. To also have enough money to take of his daughter after the marriage.
3. That was how he married his own wife.

The idea still sound strange to our hear cos we've never heard of something like that before.

Pls o NL is this how it is done by the igbo??

Igbo Kwenu!!!
Op It is called e-marriage.
Let dey doury be paid online since the man is selling his dota...

As far as am concern dat man is on his own, i av neva seen or heard dis kind of thing b4.

Why do this people love money like this

Tell am say make he make sure say e convert the teller to reciept

That is scam! That is not how igbo tradition is done.

booked

Scam. How will your brother be able to boost that he paid his wife bride price when there is no body from your brother family to witness it ?
Beside I do not think they are ready to give out their daughter to your brother. you better tell your brother to go in person with atleast two person from his family to pay the bride price.

The question we are asking my bro now are

1. Bros u mean say we nor go do party??
2. Abi you want make all of us wear native attire go bank?
do d gbedu 4 inside UBA??
3. what if the man say im nor receive alert??
If the girl blip d hell up, hw we go take return am??

Tell him you want to bring your people in person to do the traditional rites.

That he should not bother about the extra expenses..

extortion and scam

bro you think I'm that jobless?

I don't even know what to say but..... menh this thread is very funny. I "liked" almost every post!

Paying the bride price is not all that's required for marriage.

There's the unification drink part of the ceremony where the bride takes drink from her father and presents it to the man she has chosen to marry her IN PUBLIC,he accepts as sign of agreement,drinks the wine and follows her back to her father where they then kneel for unification and blessing by the father of the bride. It is vital and is synonymous with ring sharing or the I DO moment in white weddings.

So what's his prospective father in law saying about that particular part of the ceremony?
It can't be waved away.

You brother should be careful. If your story is true.

What if he is trying to save your bro the stress of having to drive down to Enugu for the whole process(

Igbo process demands coming like 2-3times b4 the main ceremony) rather you guys only come once for the trad ceremony?

If he is not comfortable with it, he can still follow the due process

It does seem strange to me. well, anyway whatever rocks his boat .

Maybe that is just for the traditional rites. But there will be wedding and traditional marriage ceremony.

cutiemoi: What if he is trying to save your bro the stress of having to drive down to Enugu for the whole process(

Exactly!!!


Also, maybe the man is even trying to save them some stress, cos in the case of my sister, the husband gave us some money which we used to buy stuffs like palm wine, cola nuts, drinks etc and kept in our house for them instead of them carrying those stuffs all the way from their town... The man demanding some money may not mean no ceremony. ..


Again, if he isn't comfortable with it, he can always decline. .no biggie

my thought exactly , you head is there , well don !

This isnt all that strange. Whilst i am not igbo by tribe, i am from the middle belt area. My husband is from the South south. We both didnt want a large crowd/party (despite resistance from both sides of the family). We had always planned for a small wedding cos i dont understand how people can justify spending ridiculous amounts of money on a few hour events (money that can buy a land/uncompleted building/cab to put on road to generate more income to the family etc)

Anyhoo, after going to the village and discussing with my uncles and elders etc, it was agreed that whatever was on the list should be converted to cash, this amounted to about 150k, and brought back to the family on a said day.
The choosen day came, my inlaws, and relatives from my mother's side also returned to my village to see my uncles, shared 8 cartoons of drinks and killed goat (paid for by my inlaws), presented the check to my uncles. Its upto them how the money was shared but that was how my trad held.

NB- They did ask that because i choose not to have a "ceremony", we would have to provide money to kill a cow so that they could share to the different households in the village around christmas time which we did.

Abeg mods move this thread to the jokes section that is where it belongs.
I have been laughing all day.
