So the value of a women is N3.5m. pele o Valuation Specialist


Nope, if you check the lists, its basically consumables, and if the fuccker can not afford to get people entertained during his marriage, he can as well be gay.

I see no reason for poor people to get married. Marriage is not a walk in the park. Cost money to raise a family. So its best for the poor to be gay. This is a factual suggestion not an insult. Poverty of families is the reason we have so many prostitutes.

GO AND CHECK ALL THIS MUMU THREAD, IT IS USUALLY YORUBA MEN.


IN THOSE PARTS DONT THEY GET MARRIED EVERYDAY?



OR MARRIAGE DON STOP BECAUSE OF BRIDE PRICE?



BRIDE PRICE IS WHERE WE SHOW OFF TO OUR INLAW, THEY GAIN CONFIDENCE IN A=OUR ABULITY TO LOOK AFTER THEIR DAUGHTER AND GRANDCHILDREN.


THEY KNOW WE WORK HARD AND EARN A WAGE SUFFICIENT FOR THE TASK.


MARRIAGE IS NOT FREE, IT IS NOT FOR THE UNEMPLYED OR BROKE TO CREATE NUSISANCE IN SOCIETY THAT WILL BE ON THE STREET BEGGING.


IT IS FOR COMPETENT ESTABLISHED MEN

It is either he doesn't love the lady or he is a broke ass fella. 3. 5M is not too much.

But on the other side, only a virgin bride or a bride with very decent past deserves huge bride price in naija context.
Before anybody quotes me, biko I'm not igbo. I'm yoruba and according to tradition, we don't collect huge bride price but I still believe 3.5 Million is not too much if the guy get money and most especially if the lady is worth it. Nah poverty cause am.

That amount is very considerate. There is no labor charge there, which exist in some climes.

He got a good offer to be honest, I see no reason to complain. The expense is less than 2 month's of average rent in London.

The is just bride list item not the wedding event proper, at this rate the full wedding will cost him nothing less than 20m

They wrote at the bottom that it's negotiable.
This doesn't call for instant breakup from someone who claims to have loved the daughter and want marriage.
Well, if you ask me. The list is okay and I believe if bargained, it can be reduced to #1.7 - 2m at most.
It's now left to your woman to persuade her family or she finds another suitor.
Why are you even bothering yourself to cross tribal lines to marry when you can just find one of our sweet yoruba lady and impregnate her. Na the family go use their hand pack her load come your house. You will later be asked to pay dowry which would even be returned back to you in some years time. Some no dey bother to pay self. People use like to dey put themselves for wahala sha sad

That is the tradition. The father in law don follow other people chop bride price....now its the turn of others to chop.

If the guy no fit afford the amount asked, he should move on. Another Odogwu will ask for the lady's hand in marriage.


That is the fact. If he is complaining of 3.5m, how much does think wedding costs? No woman deserves to meet such unfortunate man. They are looking for girls to sleep with at a cost of bread.

He should be gay.

Are you honest? I want to assume that you nairalanders are either too removed from reality or just kids. How much is the price of a used car?

You hardly see a good used car at less than 15m naira. Are you saying a woman that will love you and give birth to your kids that are raised by their parents in this bad economy will be given out to you at cheap cos it is supposed to be free?

When you all raise, train and educate your little girls, you can give them to men who are not worth shit. If a man does not know the value of a woman, he can as well be gay.

So you are selling the girl?
What if the family has a son?
Will they sell him off too?
Or suddenly, between the 2 children, boy and girl, their parents will love the girl and hate the boy?

What is the parents business with wedding? The list clearly shows most of the items are consumables and he can go and buy those things by himself and he will realize that those drinks will not be enough for the guests.

The wedding is his decision, the parents are not making money off this. I think the only reason anyone should give out their daughter is if she will be in position to assist them at old age. cos raising a daughter and training them to Uni, just for someone to take her away and complain of bride price is an insult.

How are children the kids of men only and not their kids (both the man and the woman)

When it comes to enjoying benefits of the children, you won’t say that the children belong to only the man but when it comes to things like this you will say women give birth to children for men!

Marriage is sells at a loss. Lets stop deceiving ourselves

Bride Price = Cost Price of Bride
Name Change = Change of Title, just like you change title on properties.
Taking her away from family means, buyer takes product home.

We are not charging accurate labor price point because we are against slave trade on humans. If you want to be like westerners which is better, we should not give or accept bride price, but as long as all the tribes in this country collectively agree to give and take 'bride price' it is sales at a discounted rate.

That is a fact.

Of course, there's no female head slammer there that you can marry, and the 'book of terror' forbids you from marrying "a woman of the book".

So, it's quite understandable.
