To all the complainers, make we hear word jare. If I really like the woman and see her as my future wife, I will pay anything! Instead of complaining, look for other women. It is not by force. In fact, if you can't afford the little things your prospective in-laws are demanding, how will you support your family? 2 Likes |

Igbo marriage is quite expensive but if you get what you paid for. An average Igbo girl raised in Igboland, by an Igbo mother, would not cheat on her husband. And she'll respect you whether you're rich or poor .... and no matter what you're going thru, she'll stand behind you and be your rock! An average Yoruba woman would cheat on her husband without batting an eye. But then so are their men as well. Hence, both the wife and the husby would keep cheating and being cheat on ![]() O pari gloriaunobi: 1 Like |

Atunma:. Honestly,I spent close to 2 million naira to get married from a village in Abia. Let me not say the name.at a time I almost pulled out of the whole thing.About six different list. Even their youths almost fought me on the day of the traditional wedding just because I refused to pay the complete money in their own list. To be honest with you,if the elders in that particular village am talking abt do not do anything,am afraid their women will be finding it difficult to marry. 3 Likes |

I disagree with some parts of this Write-ups, especially the monetary aspect of it During my own Traditional Marriage with my Wife from (ANAMBRA STATE), The Items in the List didn't cost more than One Hundred Thousand naira (N100,000). Anambra State, from my experience doesn't encourage spending a lot in the List for Traditional Marriage. But, some parts of East like IMO State (Mbaise) etc, Presents list with up to One Million naira or more worth of items. |

LOL. I don't hate Yoruba. I was only making a comparative analysis, so don't get it twisted. And by the way, I actually love Yoruba people. I went to school in Yoruba land and my first real girlfriend was a Yoruba girl ... she opened my eyes, I gotta tell ya ![]() And some of my Nigerian heroes are Yoruba people, such as: Wole Soyinka, Tai Solarin (RIP), Gani Fawenhinmi (RIP), Fela Anikulapo Kuti (RIP).

Archangel15: There are lot of single Igbo ladies I know. This is not about tribe., even the level of single ladies is on the rise in the society due to their high demand and economic hardship. On a normal day, an average Nigerian guy if he got the opportunity to travel overseas would chose a white/black American lady over the olosho broke hungry ladies we have in this country.

Maybe you are from Imo and Abia axis of igbo land. From my town in Anambra, there is no such thing as father's, mother's, umunna's list etc. Just one single list that the kindred(umunna) will share that day. The bride price is usually taken by the father or brother of the girl in a situation where father is late. As you your father and mother in-law, you can buy them anything that pleases you ranging from clothing or you can give them money to buy what they want. No one forces you to buy things for them as one doesn't finish marrying wife. 3 Likes |
