If you are a totally talking about Igbos, why are limiting Igbo land to 5 states created by clueless military leaders? What about Igbo indigenous to Rivers, Delta, Benue and even the Igbanke people of Edo?

Do you now forget your people because they were carved into other places?

Since the people do not want to join in why do we still force it?

If they join in we would still be having issues like Nigeria

tsdarkside:


stop askin and kiss me....

You are a non igbo

rottennaija:


Maybe I can rethink the offer of joining. I mean, the girl is cute. And she has sexy legs, my kinda of type.

Are you joking here or what

Blackking98:
better. Tell your mazi and brothers to stop including akwa ibom in your Biafra

Stay in Nigeria oga, if they include you, it's still not a must to accept it, you can decide to be Nigeriab by birth

rottennaija:


Let's date

Lol!!

Please who's this?
Do you know me from anywhere?

tsdarkside:


but your omonadike always include them....

We don't want!

saaron:
Exactly! That's why I just look at people who think anyone who wants a country of their own in Nigeria is Igbo. They have no idea that there are millions of Middle Belters who are on the same page with IPOB, working together to exit Nigeria. No right thinking Middle Belter will want to remain in the same country with fulani terrorist.

Can't we just be only the five eastern states...?
What if this is the reason why chi okike is yet to grant our desires, because we want to include the non igbos

tsdarkside:


will you marry me if i join....??

Lol!!!!
Who's this please

rottennaija:


You want south south so you can boss it and claim ownership of everything. As if we don't know who igbos are.

You know who igbos are, but you don't know who the northerners or the Yoruba are.

Blackking98:
Because we don't want Biafra this LovePeddler is now saying we're slaves. Funny how u insult people and still want them to be in the same nation with u. However if Akwa Ibom is to leave Nigeria it's to be in a country of exclusively Niger Delta states or south south States then the other option is to form a nation with our sister state Cross river. We no want Biafra. If u like call our ancestors slaves it won't change anything

We do not want you people either

tsdarkside:


hey hey....!!
keep your biafra in the south east....yes....??

am not becomin biafran....

When Biafra comes, you can choose not to be, it's not by force

tsdarkside:


woman....the future is bleek for everybody on earth....
do you realy believe anything will become better for anybody on earth....??

hunger games will be like picnic....

Because your sight is deranged, or because you don't see something good doesn't mean others do not see something good, we believe and it'll come

otuekong1:

Same way how Igbo people loves bossing others,stealing,prostituting
You have no sense, why force yourself on others why not confine your agitation to your core 5 states

Who's the head of prostitution here?
Look at kettle calling pot black.
As igbos we love to be the boss and not to answer to anyone, igbos are Republicans by culture and nature, we don't live at the mercy of no one.

I've never even wanted, in fact most igbos never wants any part of the south to be included in our Biafra.

rottennaija:


Actually, we are not scared of being threatened by Nigeria. We know our worth and when we know when to fight and when not to fight. And most certainly, we know what to fight for and when to.

Then also, we don't beat out chest on matters that are worthless. When the time is ripe, we will go our separate ways. We have all we need to survive alone as a nation, not under biafra, not under Nigeria. We have everything to exist alone.

When we need to stand, we will stand in on our own. It's not by force to include us in an ideology we don't identify with. Truth is, with the attitudes of the igbos, include any part in their biafra and these parts becomes subjects to what they are already facing in Nigeria or even worse.

Lol!
What's your moves for standing in your own?
You are not scared of Nigeria..lol, you know your worth

Lol

tsdarkside:


and your job is to piss everybody off online with your biafra blabla....

How did he piss you off with the Biafra blabla
?
The post didn't ask for non Biafra is to reply, so what exactly is your pain?
If you are matured enough and busy doing something legit, you won't even click on Biafra topics at all, cos it's non of your concern.

I wonder how old you are....Some people this old do not still have sense

NGpatriot:
What else is new?


Delusional losers...

We'll be saying these to you or your children in years to come
Lol

rottennaija:


Who remembers Philip Effiong in the history of Akwa Ibom people? Go to our museum in udoudoma and check if there is any photo of Philip Effiong in display.

Then we can talk after that...

It's Normal for you people (akwa ibom) not to remember him because you are scared of being g threatened by Nigeria, you are scared for fighting for what's yours, you prefer being slave to even a stupid man.
Philip effiong (even though he still had the traits of "akwa ibom" in him) wanted his people to be able to speak and be given positions In honourable places, but you know, as usual you akwa ibom and Calabar people have always had the spirit of answering yes madam yes oga, so you don't know what it means to be in authority.

yarimo:
Stupid boy, thank God PYTHON is still alive waiting for you patiently.

Fool!
This doesn't concern you if you have no interest in it.

Biafra is here, you must have been dead before it actualization, but the main point is IT IS!

sojats:
List from Okposi, Ohazara LG, Ebonyi state

Oga the list might look length, but the price of them isn't as large and expensive as it seems.

250,000 would look like it's too much for you because you earn 10,000 a month
Mtcheeww.

If you want to start a family, be ready or better still stay single.

FBIL:
Truth be told! Igbo girls are pretty and very healthy, with no smelling pvssy. If you want to ''chop'' good soup with semo, pay for it! That said...
Poor families may have one or two shylocks who may want to high-up bride price but rich families will say, their priority is for you to take absolute care of their daughter. Above all, kinsmen may ask for about 50k with other minor things but the girl's father may just take 1k therefrom and give the rest back to you. It's sweet to marry Igbo because they stay in marriage.

Are you Igbo?

johnnyn1:

This is a good one.
The family knows that if they eventually took the money. They are indirectly selling her out..
To them its custom and tradition, but to the husband, its meant they ve sold their daughter..

We don't need your commendation

dankol:
whoever tells me 250k is cheap is joking abi?

Calculate your own dowry list andet us know.

If I may ask how old are you?

johnnyn1:


Indirectly selling out their daughters..

Where are you from?
What's your bride price and dowry list

motherfucker:
oh wow. This put a smile on my face. Please which state is Idemili in?

I am sure many people, non igbos, especially the yorubas will have some smiles on their face.

God bless all the people commenting.

We need more comments to put this to front page in order to counter the damage done flirtykaren's post. You have no idea until you have done a google search. But Nairaland is head above others and therefore it could serve as a reference point with better perspective, information and eductation.

I need someone from Abia state oooo. Please speak up if you are from Abia state.

Are you yoruba?
If you are, I'm writing to let you know that this topic isn't to tell you that you can marry from our side, but it is to let clear your heads about the igbo bride price thing

TheArchangel:
Idemili here.
They collected 2000 naira on top my head after a thorough painstaking bargaining of my net worth. I was later old how expensive I was according to them compared to the 500 naira and 1000 naira ladies they were marrying around my hood.

The celebration was tagged at around 100k, its been long though.

I'm from Awo idemili in imo state...same thing here. My dad collected 2000 from my in-law and gave to my mum.
The list of things they bought summed up is 186,000
All the list plus umu Ada join.

motherfucker:
Hold, you mean he spent 300k for everything, as in bride price + list of items+ celebration (food, drinks, etc)?

Yes�
Why are you surprised

You can see that all the exaggeration y'all make of it isn't even close to what it is.
Mtcheeww.

If you are not igbo please stick with your tribe.

motherfucker:
Good Morning Lovely Family,

I come in peace and I wish to indulge your collective contribution to my search. There seems to be air of misconception filled with untrue ideologies on igbo custom of marriage and bride price--at least from the majority of non-igbos who wish to marry an igbo lady.

I do understand that igbos are of diverse customs, tribe and tradition, which stipulate different rules, requirements when it comes to issues of marrying a lady from such regions.

Several months ago, a particular thread hit front page which was created by blogger flirtykaren; I mean lailasblog.com. In that thread, an image of list of items that should be presented by the groom was captured. The reaction of readers to the said list or thread announced displeasure. Some could be heard saying that Igbos sell their daughters; others asked are they gold? Others said they will never marry an Igbo lady. It went on and on.

source: https://www.nairaland.com/3054077/2016-bride-price-umuahia-abia

The sad part about the above mentioned event in that thread is that over 100 blogs have copied same content, same image and thereby circulating what might not be true. I can tell you that that report might be doing more harm than good, beyond what we might imagine. How did I know, I did a google search for the keyword phrase :"Abia State Bride Price". What I saw was a circulation of flirtykaren's post. Some other guys might do a google search and will be greeted by same reportage, which could be detrimental to potential bride of igbo extract.

A certain section of the thread claimed that in their own custom, it is relatively cheap/ affordable to marry a from his/her own tribe. Another said that the list is lie and nothing like that exist in their place. This captured my reason for creating this thread. I would want us to give potential non igbo groom the right information. This could mean that flirtykaren, just like many bloggers in Nigeria, didn't do thorough research and investigation before reporting such thread.

Numerous threads have also been created on same topic which still caused uproar by non igbos while some still claim it is not expensive to marry from their region. Is that the case? Wouldn't be nice if you (those who claim it is not expensive) to educate us on how it is done with broken down procedures?

Are you from Imo State, Anambra State, Ebonyi State, Abia State, Enugu State? What part of these states are you from? Can you be kind and humble enough to educate us how traditional marriage is carried out in your tribe among this states? I want specifics according to how it is done village by village, clan by clan and not one that represent the entire Igbo tribe.

I decided to put this here because we have more married folks around here, as against the Culture section and since Nairaland is quickly indexed, this could serve as panacea or palliative in the future among blogs.

Please this is very important. Thank you for your time.

There's something I need to understand please....
Why are we trying to explain to the non igbos about The bride price issues? If 200,000 naira is too much of him to pay let himarry his own tribe, I dont understand what the fuse is about.

We owe nobody, especially the non igbos, we owe them no explanation whatsoever about the bride price or the culture and practice, y'all should please stick with your tribe.
One minute you drag Igbo girls, the next minute you want to be their husband.
Unu nile bukwa ndi ara otu n'otu.

motherfucker:
Okay, thank you. May God bless you for taking your time to explain.

So let me ask: so let's say that the basic amount of money needed is around 300k? Then drinks, food and other things is left to you right? hmmm... not bad.



EDIT... BLOOD OF ABAKU!... since 2016, na now this thread dey make front page... it goes to show that miracles can happen if we don't give up.. hit like if you believe.

Why can't some people read well ...stupid fellow
