safarigirl:I'm not concerned about what some worthless book says or the requirements of meaningless traditions. You are either dumb, delusional or both if you actually believe the jargons you wrote...a daughter is a property and an investment jist like a son is.Extremely morönic somebody. I'm nobody's property or investment. African stupidity. Thanks for writing yourself off as subhuman---at least, you saved me the effort of labelling you that myself. In India, women pay dowry to the groom's family, so, if you want someone to pay for you, go to India.I'm not a property to be sold. I think that fate is for mediaval beings like you. 1 Like |

The guy is stupid. I partially agree about the paying of bride price but i say he is stupid because he has taken a vulgar western custom (spraying of ones) and extrapolated it into the African context as if it has the same meaning. Spraying of money in African traditions is a thing of honor not shame. |

snowden9:u made sense with d post. it shouldn't b used to exploit but u have to pay something. I've witnessed a case of a lady over 30yrs, her parents made everything easy 4 d guy but did not just give her to him. he had to do something. even d parent of some young girls contribute to their daughters marriage ceremony. it depend greatly on d parents so d issue should be 4 parents to reduce their prices not removing bride price |

Sometimes people say Igbo land, it may be stereotype but 75% are factual. God knows if any parent gives me a price that is up to Land charges in Lagos, the love I have for their daughter dies immediately and I will gently not marry her. #myview |

Ugoeze2016: You must be a bastard, son of a bitch So if you want to impregnate and marry girl without paying a dime, you can, If you want to marry for free, you can There is a level the Igbo people operate, Igbo men don't rush into marriage if they are not ready for it, have you seen an Igbo man being single because he can't afford bride price/bride price is costly? If that's the case Igbo men will start marrying free women outside, Majority of Igbo men are responsible, family matters, they weigh the future of their family and not bride price, this is the same reason you won't see Igbo men marrying 2 wives. Bastardized idiot |

I agree with him.. rubbish tradition...Bride pricing payment has been used by African parents to fleece prospective grooms over the years and should be abolished. If i had a daughter and someone comes for her hand in marriage. After all the formalities..i will make sure the so called bride price is returned to the young man seeking her hand in marriage and let him know my daugher is not for sale..so be careful how you treat her. |
