hmm Ikeduru dey expensive? last time I checked we don't charge much in Umudim.

I am from Umuahia. Any village can decide what they want, but the official bride price in my village is N60. This is the amount returned to the man in case of divorce. But of course there is a list for entertainment/refreshment which can be bargained/scaled to the ability of the groom.

agabaI23:
I never said AKS is evil. Even in Mbaise, some families will ask the man to do for the kindred and forget them if he cannot.
You are kind of confirming that the money could be a burden and some families do it differently to help the man.

Daylight robbery. Na them send me go school?
The igbos are inadvertently selling off their daughters, and then when the man struggles to pay through his shi.t hole, tomorrow people would be talking of gender equality when he beats his wife silly for acting childish.
He has acquired the right over her head.
Gender based violence is wrong buh the igbo elders who should know better are encouraging it, for the pleasure of a few cartons of hot drinks.
Talk of the value they place on Igbo ladies. Pathetic.

This moniker is familiar. Are you Alex?

iphunanya:
My bride price is over 200k

GuyfawkesAB:
Why una go con blame those poor boys wey dey carry cocaine and heroine everywhere?

The whole igbo community system needs a re-orientation

Chrisjane:


I am from Umuahia too and l totally disagree with you. The elderly men and women are very greedy that they dont agree to bargain/scale down anything to the ability of the groom. I have witnessed several marriage proceedings including that of my relatives. When the groom and his family pleaded for a reduction in the outrageous marriage list, they vehemently refused and threatened to leave. You know what? They actually carried out their threat and left! They actually came back after pleadings from all and sundry. This wasnt a one time experience.
I want to use this forum to expose the avaricious nature of people from that part who made no contributions to a childs life but will come and start dictating what ought or ought not when the child has grown. Is unfair! The parents are always on the loosing side as they will encourage the prospective groom to forget about doing anything for them but should rather fulfill the requirements in the marriage list for the Umunnas, umuadas, the youths and others. Thats for the understanding parents oooo.

snadguy007:
Make dem kukuma chop the lady as dem no wan make she marry.
And if by mistake, i pay dis brideprice, i go just use her as collateral to collect loan from bank

Baludu1:
. You are correct who ever think that Abia state marriage right,custom and tradition is on a high side should try IMO STATE Especially MBANO and MBAISE. Then you will know that khaki no be leather.

theMEGAman:
my brother don't mention igbos mention ur state cos my side NNEWI south anambra state will never quote any amount to u for the bride price but u can do anything u have as price from #500 up, out of the money u brought as a price the father of the girl will only take #100 (but it optional some will take all)and give u back the rest and pray for u and ur bride, no matter the level of the bride in education all are equal in term of marriage, for drinks we don't joke with it cos it constitutional to the kindred and villagers, I don't think that u can spend much if want to marry Enugu and ebonyi girl cos my brothers marry in this two state and I know how much they spend. Come to IMO state I will never advise any of my friend to go and marry in IMO . I surprised to see this abia listoo, I can compel it with IMO. so before getting married to any girl ask for their list first so that u will not cry at last .

Kennydoc:


Your post makes no sense, honestly.
Have you ever read that there are more cases of domestic violence meted on Igbo ladies than ladies from other tribes in Nigeria? If you care to know, divorce is more among Yorubas than Igbos, and Igbo men are more caring towards their wives than men from many other tribes.

Even though I don't encourage families making heavy demands on their prospective in-laws, the truth is that no amount charged will be enough to cover what the parents really spent in raising their daughters, especially when the said girls are responsible.

Also, it's not in all Igbo states that you see all these high demands for marriage. Such things are rarely seen in Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi. Marriage in these 3 states I mentioned, on the average could be as cheap as in many other parts of Nigeria.

christopher123:


I am an Igbo and we don't need reorientation.. Good things are not cheap

I am a married man and it takes a man to marry

Go to India and see married rites
Go to Japan
Go to Korea

It is our culture and we ain't complaining


Easy come easy go

You have to get prepared for the list and mind you that the list is debatable

Pchidexy:


Idiots will never understand this especially Yorobbers with their smelly women. Marriage is a milestone in a man's life. It should be prepared for. Every goddamn thing in the list is negotiable.

Whizzcute:


No matter how long ur post is, but it made no sense

christopher123:


Funny enough..It is non igbos that complain most especially. If a man is ready to marry in Igbo land...He should get prepared.


Simple...I am getting sick of

Igbo this Igbo that...We aint the only tribe in Nigeria

Pchidexy:


My brother I tire o! Same waste people that father children from every kind of women. They keep masturbating on Igbo matters! Smh!

chikss99:
