Men are their own enemies.

I am sure when they stayed and agreed to be paying bride price, they forgot that someone like Buhari would be a democratic president. They also never foresaw that $1= N478.

Now that the economy is choking them and restricting their airflows, they are now forming online bro-code and looking for imaginary feminist that will go stop a practice they put in place for their own ever-needy-ego.

You’ll still see same charlatans insulting other Nigerian tribes that are civil enough to conduct marriages like what it is- the coming together of two consenting adults, not an empowerment program.

That gender can never be understood.

If not that God is all knowing, they almost confused Him when He asked a simple question in the Garden of Eden.

Eleru gberu e ooo

You mean men gathered somewhere and agreed to be paying bride price? How does this boost our egos in anyway?

With or without bride price a woman is traditionally expected to submit in every known culture and tradition across Nigeria.

I personally don't require submission as such and I certainly don't intend to pay bride price but I have found that once you voice such opinions the greatest resistance is from women who feel that only broke men complain about bride price.

A man took to Twitter to say "we need to dismantle misogyny" after he didn't get a share from his sister's bride price, IgbereTV reports.

He said bride price of 300,000 Naira was paid and his mother was given only 5,000 Naira while elders he's never seen in his life took the rest.

If you have reduced your sisters bride price to N30,000 it wouldnt have pained you like this. But greed will not allw you to do what is right. You were expecting that your share will be a minimum of N100k abi?

Serves you right!

Be crying as if they forced your family and in-laws to yield to tradition. If your family and in-laws decided to disregard tradition and just do a court wedding, no one can stop you people. I stand to be corrected.

I honestly still find it hard to understand the Igbo marriage initiation system. How could strangers reap where they did not sow bikonu? Is it too much to do the wedding in the brides compound minus all those extended kinsmen? Or do kukuma somewhere the wife's father is based whether na Lagos o abi na Kano....that will also reduce the perpetual list considerably.

15 crates of malt for youth.
5 bags of rice for the youths
40 kegs of wine for the kinsmen
50 baskets of kolanut for the elders

The tradition was not there because of you it has always been there. Every culture has a marriage tradition, respect it. If it is an elder takes all respect it. Your in-law can always for give away anytime. You guys should grow up please

Dori me, interimo adapare dori me / Ameno, ameno, latire, latire mo / Dori me, ameno, oma nare imperavi ameno / Dimere, dimere, mantiro, mantire mo / Ameno / (Oma nare imperavi emu

300k for puna, wey i sure say boys go dn knack shit out, thunder fire your kins men. they should marry their daughter. i trust my self before na, even before u mention thousand , i dn zoom zoom zoom

Warrgidanairala:
Mtchewww some men are so shameless,reaping where you didn't sow all in the name of kingdred abi what sef mtchewww.Bride price should be directly given to parents and in the absence of the parents the person who acted as parents should then receive it and not some shameless men who wants to reap where they didn't sow

DUMMY! Did he think his sister was being SOLD by his family?
Dowry (aka bride price) is merely symbolic. It shouldn’t matter if his mom got NOTHING!

300k, is not a high bride price. Bride prices are not fixed, it is negotiated.

Typing

No idiot would try this with me and my sisters. Where were they when we were grinding things out. Mteeeeew

as if them follow the woman labour Igbo people work

You cannot dismantle misogyny and maintain archaic practices such as 'bride price'. That too is rooted in gender inequality.

This is so stupid. Why pay any form of bride price to any one apart from the lady's parents?

When una contribute sell pikin finish. Una go complain when the man treat am like personal property.

Aproko feminist weh no know how Africa matter take start go shook mouth put.

Imagine Dem skin you alive to buy pikin( sorry marry pikin).

Then the pikin go come your house still warn come rule you.

For America nothing like bride price so everyone is free. For hear I pay for you I own you technically. Sorry no vex. But na how the thing be.

bluskyee:

That's bullshit!
Are they selling the gurl? I wonder what their first price was before it was negotiated to 300k.

Utter balderdash

pocohantas:


Doing the marriage in USA won’t reduce the list, you will either monetize it and send or get a home-based person to buy it all. The problem is the mindset, the formation they come with. They come like hungry lions. Some of them can’t even pick out the bride from ten ladies, but their eyes go dey chook inside everything.

They do not have a problem with you not inviting them, just send the money to them. If you don’t, the repercussions would be waiting for both you and your children’s children.

I dnt believe there is a repercussion. What abt those that didn't even do any bride anythng on their wieves ? Nothng much , just that tradition need to be respected.
