As more and more people advocate for the abolition of the bride price, a Nigerian woman by name Vivian Emesaraonye Dimgba from Mbaise, Imo state today shocked many people after revealing that her husband was given a marriage list that was nearly N800,000.

The pretty woman who got married 10 years ago got people talking over the revelation. Gender equality advocates have called for the abolition of 'bride price' and 'marriage list' saying that it makes it look like the woman is nothing but an item for sale. Some say that bride price is not actually the problem, but the list which can drain a man's lifesaving.

Making the revelation, Dimgba wrote: "I'm from Mbaise.. The list alone cost close to 800k and that was my Dad being nice.
If only I knew then, what I know now.

Bride price is a stupid tradition that shouldn't have any place in a modern world. Whether 1 naira or 1 million.
Yes I said it!!!."

She added: "Bride price is a stupid tradition that shouldn't have any place in a modern world. Whether 1 naira or 1 million.
Yes I said it!!!"

This bride price issue varies with people involved .

my people,abeg shey na buy we dey buy the girl or na bride price we dey pay?

anyways,if I pay this kind moni and later find out say the geh toto no dey made of gold...... Chaii una no go wan know wetin I go do am.

To marry in mbaise is too expensive.

10 years ago??

800k??

Economists in the house,how much does that worth now??

Maybe 5 million.

Mbaise women are very expensive. Money wey person suppose use build house...

If I spend such an amount to marry a girl, I will take it as if I bought the girl.

I won't help any of her family members because I have paid my dues.

Her family members shouldn't interfere with my marriage cause the woman is now exclusively my property

I agree. After spending so much just to marry a woman, it can be quite annoying for her to later lay claim to gender equality, or worst of all, for her to defeat you in the other room. That would amount to double wahala for deadi bodi.

No wonder most men who shell out such fortunes to marry a woman go the extra mile to exert their revenge in the other room...without entertaining any excuse from the hapless woman. "darling my waist dey pain me o, my waist dey pain me o". For where? Why didn't your waist pain you when your papa and uncles were sucking me dry in the name of bride price and marriage list? Your waist will apologize on their behalf.

That's why it is important for Nigerian men to always have full network, so that they can enjoy the proceeds of their investment in marriage. Any long story about no network, partial network, or even premature surrender na ojoro to yourself and your madam...

To empower yourself fully and make sure you have full network to show her pepper, you need to know about the miraculous effect of garlic combined with vitamin C, which is more effective than Viagra or any artificial drug, and does not have side effects. With proper use of this combination, you will make madam regret the fact that her family charged a high bride price on her head. Learn more about it......

The first thing people need to do is know the difference between Bride Price and Marriage List, before they run their mouths about throwing anythih away. It is ignorance that causes such misplaced discussions

In my village, the bride price is 25 naira, till today.....so, what is the hullabaloo about? Can they not afford 25 naira?


Because some people have copied westerners, they want to abolish everything their forefathers stood for and what got them here. Shame to the African race

What are you even scribbling?

Akoro gbago, akoro gbada....Ana akeri nnor!!

Ladies too should start paying groom price for us too ......

I was at a traditional wedding. The groom was my classmate @ OAU.
The groom from d east and the bride from Ibadan. They are deeperlife members. The bride price was paid as the culture is, but just b4 d close of day, the bride's father invited the groom's father and returned the envelope. He said: "we are yorubas, moreso we r christians, we don't trade off our children. They have chosen to be married in holy matrimony and so nobody is buying the other!

The groom's father was totally shocked. I guess he'd never seen such culture anywhere. He prayed and prayed until he nearly cursed.

Now this is the hilarious part - the groom told me later in the evening that he knows that the money being returned would cause serious fracas at home tonight. I asked him wy, he said - "na mumsy actually raise that money but as dem don carry am give popsy war go start.

We laughed over it anyway

The feminists would avoid this thread like rotten egg. When their parents give the man a list that can open a shoprite outlet in their village, they would use lines like: "that's the custom that my ancestors began", " if you love me you would do anything for me " then when they get married, they suddenly begin to trumpet 21st century ish and gender equality. The truth is slave trade was abolished in the 19th century, but its still going on under our nose.
WIVES FOR SALE, EVEN THE FEMINISTS HAVE GOT A PRICE

To marry from IMO state na war.

AuroraB come see your people ooo

The madness of Rochas is hereditary.

There's an era for everything, this is an era of moulding.

I pray Rochas enact a law that will force every groom to mould his wife before marriage takes place

yet some women will still be fighting for gender equality. imagine! equality for what you pay to get.

first lady I am wit you on this...I won't like marry any lady without paying her dowry...even the Bible talks of dowry..
I remember when I gave my sisters out in marriage...together wit the elders I collected not more than #2500 on each...as dowry.
I wanted even collect less......
I think the bride price in some cultures need to be reduced or revisited but not to be totally scrapped out...

Marriage in Igbo land generally is very very expenses
