The Ochi Idoma didn't say anything about "Aleku" the spirit of the ancestors of the Idoma people invoked to bind a woman automatically to her husband through rituals usually performed as part of traditional marriage rites. All these are always on the women, leaving out men. Sir, is it just?? |

wonder233:Nonsense! Just because u did a four year degree course at the university to memorize useless stuff in English language doesn't mean that ur culture is useless. U use Education to modify and adjust ur cultural practices (just like Och’Idoma has done), u don't use Education to condemn ur culture totally. You're not making any sense. You're willing to pay an olosho or hookup girls (who have nothing to offer u) N50,000 for one-night-stand, but u can't pay N50,000 to marry a decent lady who will be more useful to u beyond sex. The former will spend a night with u and the later will spend the rest of her life with u. Now u can see that no amount of money (bride price) can pay her for the number of days she will be spending with u for the rest of her life. U still think you're "Educated" with this stupid mentality of urs? 8 Likes 2 Shares |

wonder233: Bride price is a token (which could be monetary or any other item) to seal a covenant between two families coming together through the union of their loved ones. It is symbolic. The amount is a totally different matter all together. But condemning bride price in its entirety depicts a lack of understanding of how vital contracts are struck. Bride price is not an African thing. You may need to study other cultures around the world. Money greed is what is driving many Nigerian families to charge exorbitantly. Bride price generally used to be items, not money. And the value depended on the family reputation of the bride. If you were marrying a princess, you would do more than the man marrying a commoner. Lastly let me add this. Bride price is the first test of a man's capacity to take up familial responsibilities. It was devised as a means to impress in men that starting a new family was serious business. So you suggesting that two adults should just consent to each other and that is marriage is a very ridiculous idea. I hope you celebrate each time Northern governments pair up men with brides and pay up their wedding bills. What does it result in? Children littered all the over the country begging to survive because some people who had no economic and mental capacity to fulfill familial duties were gummed together by a thoughtless government. 2 Likes |

wonder233:Now I understand! Ur father didn't pay bride price on ur mother that's why paying bride price doesn't make any sense to u. But ur father paid ur mother N50,000 for one-night-stand na, is that a good culture to u? Why is bride price ur problem? Why are u not criticizing the amount ur father paid for one-night-stand with ur mother? Since u believe sex and cohabitation should be free. But honestly, ur father was duped for paying N50,000 for one-night-stand with ur mother and still end up with a Dumbo like u as a son. Don't let me give u high blood pressure Ooo. Continue to mention me if u need full history about ur useless self. But hope u won't collapse before I finish telling the history? ![]() |
