donstan18: but killing of twins, tribal marks and female gender mutilation used to be a tradition practised here in naija na.. some tradition are outdated , some are plain cruel and must be changed.... concerning bride price, I think we can just reduced it to something simple like exchange of kola nuts and no money involved 11 Likes |

Criis: All traditions are not reasonable, sensible or equal. Circumcision of females was a tradition ditto killing of twins. Bride price is ridiculous and nonsensical tradition. Humans made them, humans can change them. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Did you know that in India, it is the woman that pays for the man's head i.e groom price? Yet, their women are one of the most submissive women on the planet. Let that sink in for a minute. 4 Likes |

Are you also not a fan of gifts, sex and bank alerts during courtship? In India, the woman's family pays dowry. In so many other cultures of the world it is same. It is not buying and selling of humans. |

What has it ruined abeg? Paying bride price doesn't give any reasonable thinking man/woman the effrontery to insult or disrespect a man vice versa. Please, let's stop getting things twisted to suit our believes. |

ollah2: Because I can point out good from odds. Christianity is not a foreign religion. Stop thinking like an illiterate. God sent missionaries to help spread the Gospel. It's for everyone. I believe it cause it's true. So you like the killing of twins. Your hypocrisy is great. 2 Likes |
