Of course that is what we ask for for traditional weddings. In fact, one of the most important request is a private island |
Re: Is This List True About Igbo Traditional Marriage by Gboliwe: 7:09am On Mar 10, 2012 |
The list is incomplete. They didnt include a BB for the sister and a camry 2001 for the brother |

IRAPADA:depending on the capability of the man and the family that list can still be tampered with , very few items are written in stone. |
Re: Is This List True About Igbo Traditional Marriage by Nobody: 8:22am On Mar 10, 2012 |

Re: Is This List True About Igbo Traditional Marriage by Goldieluks: 8:23am On Mar 10, 2012 |
Inked_Nerd: ::Andrew::: I guess the akwa-ibom list will be completed with ' a bag of human head, or a 1 acre land' because that list up there has exceeded normalcy. |

This list is outrageous, and so not true. But hell, so many forum members are quick to jump into biased conclusions. The reason for this list is down below. A little reading would have allowed us see why this list is so damn long. . . IRAPADA:It would not have been this way "if" he had married her the "right" way. It's an insult to have a baby before marriage in the igbo tradition. Other traditions and cultures may permit it though. . . That said, this list is NOT complete without a Range Rover Sports for the father, and a Toyota RAV4 for the mother. . . |

As I read the list, even the greediest Igbo wouldn't ask for such. Why ask for food when you can ask for a car/house/money? Rice is almost free!! 2 Likes |

gbam!! igbo's in the making |
Re: Is This List True About Igbo Traditional Marriage by Nobody: 8:13pm On Mar 10, 2012 |
This list is for akwa ibom people. Nevertheless,some ibo group demand as much. Such pathetic scenerio is replete with greedy parents,traditional believers etc. If you want to marry,locate a born again christian home and all this outrageous reap off will be reduced drastically and curtailed. |

An ibo man I entered into a discussion with told me the total cost is a function of what the girl has studied to become. A lawyer or doctor would be worth more than a teacher, for instance. And a doctor would infact be worth more than a lawyer, or so, with price ranges in the millions. I sensed he also was attempting to justify this pricing mechanism and I found that rather strange and funny . This is really true. . . . |

Re: Is This List True About Igbo Traditional Marriage by Mayflowa(m): 10:07pm On Mar 10, 2012 |
I actually thought the eastern and akwa ibon part of Nigeria were only guity of this. Later, I realise that this thing happen in many country of the world. e.g, In China, young men cannot even talk about marriage because they need to have a house, car and in fact be rich before that can ask any hand for marriage. In Iran, the ladies are married off as virgins. Very terrible offense to do the do before marrying and the man sign a court agreement worth over N30M to be given the woman if he ever divorces her. In india, women pay for men according to the man's education. Most times, the girl mother go look for a husband for her daughter. So these are just custom and culture but we must know culture is dynamic. We should free those that make life harder for humans to be happy. |

My wedding list contained some shizz like that But of course it was just a formality. We beat all that shitt down to the minimum. Note that in Igboland, you don't have to buy everything on the list but the most imortant. |

Just end all in d court.The day you meet the parents is the day they collect those kids from you. So when you are ready, you come for the marriage and collect your kids. |
