I am pained at the level of disrespect exhibited by the lady. You cannot warn your father privately, but you brought family matter tk Facebook, to what end?

If her father is collecting ten million on her head, she should face him and not drag other innocent fathers into it.

May I never give birth to such a disrespectful child, what rubbish!

PS: Most Igbo women are not babymamas.

safarigirl:
it is people who support such foolish behaviour that are not okay.

It is not everything you post on Facebook, especially when you did nothing when you had the opportunity. She just came to Facebook to tell the world that she comes from a family of greedy opportunists.

BTW, you are a Yoruba guy, face your own culture and keep away from that of others, especially if you have no plans to join them

otipoju:


What is culture?

It's a behaviour initiated by a group of people that has become accepted as normal over the course of time.

Just like any human behavior some are destructive while some are progressive.

An example of a destructive culture is that of killing of twins in calabar i that was stopped by Mary Slessor.

Any behaviour that converts a newly wed couple into debtors is destructive and should be kicked against.

It demeans the woman. Its glorified slavery.

Placing a monetary value on her life diminishes her sense of worth more than enhancing it because she is indeed priceless.

As to wanting to be an Ibo man....with due respect, the richness of the Yoruba culture is perfect for me.

Thank you.

Pls pls all igbo parents should increase the brideprice more let them leave our gals alone becoz its getting too much pls.

I don't know why people dont respect other peoples culture. Culture is culture, you can't change it. Changing your culture and tradition to suit everybody is equal to changing your identity.

There are so many pretty women from over 100 tribes in Nigeria, if you know you don't like Igbo marriage culture and not ready to happily comply with it, then marry from other tribe.

Yes some Igbo ladies are ripe and single, leave them its none of your business if they end up single for life, marry from your most favorite tribe.

I noticed from Nairaland that Yorubas don't like Igbos in many ways, Yorubas like Hausas and Fulanis, please why not marry Hausa and Fulani women and leave Igbo women alone since you hate Igbo people and their culture so much, its that simple.

Now to the girl in question, she is ill trained. She is not a reasonable daughter at all. She just disgraced herself and her family, and also told the world that she married a man who is not financially able to take care of her and her future kids to come. She has also told the world that she is the one that sponsored her wedding, so shameful.

On the other note, I am Igbo, one of my elder bro married a Yoruba lady, and guess what My bro paid x 3 of the bride price they gave him and even killed 2 live cows for the in-laws on the day of his trad and many of our family members and friends invaded the community and spoilt them with cash and gifts, that's our culture. My brother surpassed their expectation and everyone went home happy. This is one reason Igbo guys marry late; we prepare ourself for marriage. We know marriage is a huge financial responsibility, so we take our time to prepare financially before settling down so our children and wife don't suffer.

An Igbo man will toil, labor and suffer to ensure his wife and kids are well taken care of because we see our wife and kids as our face.

And a true Igbo man don't marry more than one wife, except something went wrong or the first wife really started misbehaving.

The Igbo bride price is a test of readiness to settle down and take responsibility of a family.

If paying bride price makes you poor, then you are destined go be poor.

And most times, its not even the family thats raising the bride price but the community because marriage in Igbo land is more of communal than family.

And the Igbo girls father must have given you the marriage list ahead, and if you aren't comfortable with it, you complain and they will make it easier for you.

Again, you have every right to bargain on the traditional marriage day with your family and kinsmen. To Igbo villagers and elders, its fun bargaining...its not as if they are selling their daughter, but that fun bargaining makes them feel connected with their in-law's family/kinsmen that came with him.

But hell no, Yorubas must seize every opportunity to showcase their dislike and hatred for Igbos, yet when Igbos make attempt to leave and form their own country, same Yorubas will call them names and kick against it, its scary really what do Yorubas want from Igbos plz

Marry Hausa and Fulani women your beloved tribal friend na and leave Igbo women alone for peace to reign, na wa o

In fact, if I am allowed, I will make a national law to increase the bride price so high such that broke and poor men won't be able to marry to avoid giving birth to innocent children they won't be able to take care of and they end up becoming societal problem and vices.

We need to restrict who gets married and who gives birth in Nigeria if we want a better nation. People can't keep giving birth to kids they can't cater for, its not good for our future. This is why Nigeria is jagajaga...unemployment, underemployment, suffering and beggars everywhere.

Nigeria needs cleansing. The world is overpopulated already, stop producing innocent kids if u can't take good care of them!

Stop getting married out of faith and future luck! Marry only when you are financially, emotionally and psychologically prepared to feed/cloth/shelter at least 5 people successfully without borrowing.

Men can as well think North if they can withstand a hundred lashes of Koboko. U must give something in order to take a woman

LoJ:

we will not leave you. We will keep forking you, and enjoying your assets.

By the time that list will come, we will run our way out, and look for another lady with less greedy parents. Is there a shortage of women?

Who is the looser? Keep entertaining the foolish greed of some parents, in the name of culture. Inflating dowry is greed, not culture. If it was only culture, 100 to 500k would be enough. Anything beyond that, is called greed in plain english.

Well, do as please you, but we are not leaving you anytime soon, kwanu.

It is not her father's fault she married a broke man. If he can't afford the bride price he should f off. No one put a gun to his head.
As for charging non-Igbos to pay more bride price, keep up the good work

humilitypays:
gerrarrahia mhen! If this will make Africa remain backward, let it be you hear!! Broke people hiding under civilisation to run away from their manly responsibility. We need technological and scientific growth in Africa yes but our culture, our identity will remain, Oyimbo should change their own culture and adopt ours or let them gooru hell
