This statement is really silly! Paying bride price is a cultural tradition, not a way to buy a person. It's like a wedding gift, not a purchase.

When parents accept gifts or money, it doesn't mean they're giving up their child's freedom. It's a kind gesture, not a contract. And with goats and chickens being mentioned, do you really think the number of animals traded decides how much control someone has? That's ridiculous! Get rid of such outdated way of thinking.

Ladies f you are not ready to be LOYAL AND SUBMISSIVE to a man, stay single and be m!ser@ble.

If a man can't tell you what to do, stay in your father's house and suffer with a Love Machine every night for the rest of your life

how is what you responded to a comment?

when did questions become comments?

dont you know the difference?

If you own children, does that mean they are your slaves?

Botragelad:
Do people actually give credence to what these individuals say? How laughable!

Marriage is intended to be a partnership, distinct from the ownership and control inherent in slavery, I believe. Yet, individuals like this perpetuate sexist ideologies that blur these lines.

If someone finds themselves in a volatile and abusive relationship, where they feel 'owned' or controlled by their spouse, how can they possibly escape? Does he not comprehend the fundamental human rights that are violated by 'owning' another person?

heniford2:
like you so said wedding is a gift so, you use your own earn money to pay for gifts abi if your not told when you pay for something you own it that's the rule, is like going to the market to buy a cloth after paying for it someone is saying it's a gift and culture does that make sense to you at all 🤔 hope ur normal.

SSpeter:
Marriage is not a partnership the two people involved do not have equal rights

A wedding gift is a symbolic gesture, not a transactional exchange. It's akin to a graduation present, not a purchase.

Again, your market analogy is a straw man argument. In a market transaction, ownership is transferred through a mutually agreed-upon exchange. In a wedding, the "gift" is a token of celebration, not a purchase agreement. Apples and oranges, my dear fellow!

To be sincere, your reliance on simplistic "rules" and analogies betrays a lack of intellectual curiosity. The world is not reducible to binary platitudes. Context, nuance, and cultural understanding are essential to meaningful discourse.

By the way, you are incoherent. Work on your vocabulary.

I don't support this in every form. This man should be stripped from been a pastor abeg. I'm a guy and this is the worst thing I have heard his year. Women may want equality with men which is wrong but u saying women are owned by theor husband and should not be friends with the husband is totally unacceptable. Please drop the mic and never climb a pulpit again..

saddler:


Bride price is not a wedding gift. Please stop!

Its an obligation that a man must perform to the bride's family in order for them to consent to the marriage.

If they later divorce, the bride price is sent back to the groom's family.

This tells you it is not a gift.

Sorry to say but you don't know how stupid you sound by saying bride price is like wedding gift, gifts that you will mandate someone to pay or he won't marry your daughter,i assume you have not witnessed the bargaining aspect, especially when you meet a greedy hungry father in-law, infact what's the meaning of bride price?

Botragelad:

Were you forced? Simple sense. 😂

Botragelad:

Yes, the Bible!
In your head you think everyone practice the same faith as yourself! Lol

Botragelad:

IWhen I likened the bride price to a wedding gift, I was attempting to highlight the symbolic nature of the practice, rather than its literal interpretation.

In many cultures, the bride price represents a token of appreciation, and unity between families, much like a wedding gift symbolizes love and commitment between partners. That was my point.

all this grammar you typed here for simple logical stuff which even ur forefather s are aware of even the creation of earth are aware of when you pay for a service you get the service, you buy something you own it.

it doesn't become a gift, never if you pay for a land it becomes your property your own so your wife.

it's your property believe it or leave it you own it unless you never paid for it either on traditional way or any way as far as money was done and an agreement was registered forget it, you cam twist it but that's end game

And I'm telling you that you're my property once I paid your bride price, that's my understanding and that's final

When the moniker you quoted wrote suffer with a love machine ,honestly I just bursted out laughing because some of this love machines are better champions than some men.

If only he knows that there are women who have faked orgasm's for 30 years and have never experienced it from a husband.He won't even go that route.

A healthy relationship between a man and a woman is beautiful but men should never think a woman cannot do without them.Its the height of stupidity.
