Bride Price by mrkay101(m): 12:01pm On Jan 13, 2015 |
OK so I've been meaning to say this for a while now... I came across a thread on Facebook of a girl who's husband has been pretty harsh on her and her relations after they just got married some months back.. the woman said that he doesn't let any of her relations come to visit and that even her parents don't come too. it even go to a stage dat he stopped picking her parents calls. the reason she stated was that when he came to pay her bride price at that time they gave him a list if abt 1.2million naira minus the wedding properly. so obviously he is pissed. now my question is wats ur take on the bride price issue. as for me....I'll do an ''usain bolt'' on them. |

I don't really agree with the amount of which most Igbos pride price ranges, they are most times very high. It will be better if they reduce it to the bearest minimum, after all the amount doesn't determine how long or happy the couple will live ever after. 5 Likes |

Re: Bride Price by KMTee(f): 1:51pm On Jan 13, 2015 |
First, the amount is so ridiculous... i don't know why some tribes will sell out their daughters all in the name of bride price no wonder, some women are being treated as goods bought. what a priced possession! 2nd, they force the guy to pay ni, abi he was high on something when he was dishing out the cash? you agreed to pay, why pass the aggression to the poor gurl? you could av easily stopped the wedding than living in hell abi na by force to marry ni 2 Likes |

Re: Bride Price by mrkay101(m): 3:31pm On Jan 13, 2015 |
Chizzy20: exactly my point too. they maybe saw the husband as someone with a lot of money and so they took advantage of that. |

InZA: I've come to notice that when issue of bride price is mentioned pipo seem to refer to IMO state.. are they really the sole architect of selling there daughters off?? |
Re: Bride Price by InZA: 7:06pm On Jan 13, 2015 |
mrkay101: Naah at the bolded. But they are the major distributors in that business Take it to be that Imo people are like the "DSTV" in the satellite broadcast industry, while other states like Abia, Anambra, Enugu are like GoTv, Startimes etc. If you don't get my analogy. You can ping me later ![]() |

ronald4lif: Blame it on greed!!! |
Re: Bride Price by AngelJennifer: 10:52pm On Jan 13, 2015 |
I am from Imo state. In the case of my family they always refund brideprice after taking about 1000 or 2000. They normally tell the inlaws that they are not selling their daughter. Even last Xmas same happened in my sister's traditional marriage and the inlaws were so happy. Apart from white wedding 250,000 is enough for the marriage rite. |
Re: Bride Price by Ucheosefoh(m): 11:05pm On Jan 13, 2015 |
ronald4lif:Fifty thousands is enough to do traditional marriage in my local government idemili north in Anambra state, bride price is one thousand only other things will not cost more than fifty thousands unless you decide to do it in a big man way |
Re: Bride Price by jaybee104(m): 8:25am On Jan 14, 2015 |
bro. they don't just call an amount for you, it's only when you sum up the total stuffs you've bought, that's when u know that sh*t just got real... and most in-law do look at your finical status b4 naming there price |
Re: Bride Price by Nobody: 9:46am On Jan 14, 2015 |
So because he paid some bride price he gets to treat her like his property. She sef dey funny tolerating such nonsense from him she is already paying in kind, cooking, cleaning and acting like a slave. Did i forget sexing at call? abeg people sef. |
Re: Bride Price by mrkay101(m): 10:50am On Jan 14, 2015 |
andromida: did u say sexing at call ![]() what does she do dat no other Nigerian wife does. pls don't reason dat way. and besides she enjoys d sex too. hope ur not one of those girls that thinks having sex with a guy is doing him a favour. PS: she never said he maltreats or beats her up. she only said her doesn't relate well with her own side of the family. |
Re: Bride Price by Nobody: 1:45pm On Jan 14, 2015 |
mrkay101: Nah i think i read he stops her from relating with people she has known all her life. cutting her off, isolating her like she is in jail. Maltreating or beating is not the only poor treatment a man can dish what he is doing is bad behavior. Well he was not getting sex on call before and feeling all good about "having" a woman to call his. ![]() So you see he is getting a lot for the 1.something me thinks he should be trembling with happiness not whining and trying to make her miserable to score cheap points with his in laws. Sex out of matrimony is a favour within its not. ![]() |
