Na flexing/enjoyment sontin to dem. Dey shared d stockfish to every1 dat attended. Also important family members piece of stockfish n slice of uncooked yam was given to dose who couldn't attend....I remember my uncle called frm abuja to say he got his parcel

I heard it is aimed @ making it difficult 4 d couple to separate...cos u can't go round taking bak ur bride price n goodies d groom brought frm different pple. Tho dese days pple separate n dats dat. Berra stil poor pple stil marry wit "modified lists".
Also its worse if d man isn't frm d same village/town wit d girl

Hmmm and I was expecting to see an expensive list. Yes its more than what some other tribes will ask for but I wont call it expensive at least not this list. My view though.

just give de girl belle and de reverse becomes de case

That list isent expensive, not all state is expensive in igbo land, enugu state is cheap and most part of anambra ,all this people spreading rumours ,if you pregnant a girl the child belongs to the guy not girl, only few communities is the opposite mostly ngwa people, mbaise

ooh boy!! you think marriage is a jack and Jill's play??.. if u can't afford d items on d list, then get married from your kingdom.........case.....closed!!

AirborneLacer:


Owerri, Nkwerri, Mbaano and Mbaise.

Families there become stinking billionaires after their daughter's wedding

men I almost spilled drink on my uncle while reading this....showed it to him and it's causing an out burst here in Nguru, Aboh-mbaise. Anyways I love my Imo women, esp Mbaise Y'all can say whatever you like about them. I can't see Mrs Addictiv coming from any other place apart from Imo or Enugu. Btw I tot owelle said the official bride price in Imo is 10k.

Funny enough showing them this topic made someone remember that there is a traditional marriage ceremony somewhere close. So i am in the ceremony and am deeply tempted to ask the groom how much he spent on his list.

@OP Abeg let Igbo people marry themselves.
As an Edo guy who grew up in Lagos, I even prefer Yoruba culture sef so wouldn't mind a babe from there if I no jam correct Ishan babe.

I also deeply pity the Igbo girls who get all h0rny, wet and excited over the fact that their list is large.
Una mind only dey think "Wedding" but una mind never set for "Marriage". Hope you know that the more "expensive" you were bought for, the more that is expected of you afterwards both from the husband and YOUR in-laws.

There is a reason why most "Husband killed wife" stories in naija na from Igbo side.

^^ Make sense dawg.

So there's now an official brideprice?

I knew it that 2015 had something amazing in store for we bachelors

that's their tradition ....every body has his or her tradition....

jayedu108:
Imo girls have some kinda of nasty attitude,with they ridicoulous bride price,I can't even marry an ibo woman self tank God ma woman is fr delta I no go even get dat kind long list.

Lol...hahahaha

It is not just IMO state, it thinks it's the whole of east. No problem let them carry their beauty and grow old in their father's house. In my opinion I feel they are been sold off to their husband dats why they ask for those huge, stressful and expensive things from the man. Apologies if needed

corisande:

Ndi imo kwenu!
beta soup na money kill am oooooo
Abeg our ancestors wey write the list don die, dem for review am.

forget wetin dem write for list.
bride price dey negotiable!
Yes! in my place
The list na formality and to shake the inlaws

I don't think the ancestors wrote that. I have never seen a list that involves kerosene.
