Are you planning to marry igbo woman with all these women everywhere in yorubaland?. What did you find in her that you couldn't find in a yoruba woman?

Funmi, you and the OP are stark illiterates.

Dowry is the money or property brought by a bride to her husband at marriage.
In other words, women pay dowries, a man pays the brideprice.
They are 2 different things.

From what I hear about the Igbos, you suppose gather o. . . . .

In most of Igboland from what I hear the dowry aka brideprice is not the issue
It's the list of things to buy that gets you.
In Abiriba for instance,the dowry is 6 naira 50 kobo or so and it has remained so
But the list on that small 20 leaves exercise book eh

we can't dash out our girls like that abeg
the man has to show that he's well able 
It hasn't stopped people from coming from the SW to get quality wives
even if they have to take  a bank loan 
good things don't come cheap

There is no such thing as a state regulated price. Price differs from state to state, and then even L.G.A. to L.G.A, and then even village to village, and even moreso from family to family. You're just going to have to discuss it with the family of the girl you wish to marry.

Wetin? Dem line una kitten with diamond?

I was in Abiriba last December for a friend's wedding. Flamboyance is an understatement!!! And it seems the groom had to buy duplicate items for each and every head of a family unit within the bigger family unit within the community. I tire!

I could never get married like that. There's a term we use at work called "Kareema style". A colleague- Kareema came to work on a certain Tuesday but she had to leave early because she had stuff to do. On Wednesday, she came with a wedding band. She got married on Tuesday evening. Now. . . . thats more like me. No gra gra, no party, no overload.

Oduduwa himself would marry an Igbo woman before considering y'all back-biting, bitter and disgusting Yoruba babes.

How dare u speak of Oduduwa in such manner, I know his was an outlaw. Well his now my in-law.

I heard her peeps require you to bring three 'Ochuzor' (Pathfinder 4X4) before you will even enter the family compound, so I hope you're ready.

Hey what is going on here?I think we will grow and move faster in development if we consider everybody and anybody as just humans without thinking of where they come from,as long as they are upright in character.
Haven't we learnt some lessons from America?An African descendant being the President is enough to treat every Nigerian as one.Because we are all same and the same.
Anyway,i believe little talks like goes a long way in reducing the growing global recession heat.

Anybody with SWEET IDEAS of how to make easy money?

Recession is not for me and my family.It wont be yours too.GOD FORBID.But there are some certain things regarding money that we all need to inculcate.
Try to make sure that you earn more than you spend daily.I have some ideas of how you too can be the envy of your neighbors.

Is that so. Here's what some of your "admirees" have to say about you:

I did some of my schooling in the west and my greatest problem with yoruba guys was "hygiene"!  They dress for show but migosh!  When ever I was invited to visit most of them in their homes or on campus----you cannot drink water there not to talk of eat!   They do not know how to talk softly and yell most of the time.

Lousy,I believe is an understatement when it comes to Yoruba men.
They are the slimmiest creatures ever created. They can sleep with their best friend's girlfriend or wife.
These He-goats are always on the rampage for ANYTHING on skirt, if possible, a She-goat (I mean Ewu, Meeee) in heat.
The can sleep with their own daughters, daughter-in-laws and possibly their mothers.
They have eyes darting from one place to another and above all, they have very little respect for women.

Last night a stupid yoruba man called my phone at 2.00am while he was jerking off and groaning, telling me that he loved me and that he had been admiring me for years. Can you believe that this IDIOT is my boyfriend's best friend

Mind you,I am not generalising. I have asked loads of ladies this question and they all tell me that truly the yoruba men are lousy.

WHY ARE YOU YORUBA GUYS LIKE THIS?

next time, check Nairaland archives before typing.
