Hmm ok so Ur hubby paid dowry and became broke.? Rubbish!!!.
Any man that cant pay for his woman bride price is not ready for marriage n parenthood..
By the way its not by force to marry an igbo woman... look elsewhere where women are cheap.

As for ur friends who has "VOWED" not to marry igbo women pls tell them to vow with amadioha and ogun so that the vow will strong well well.
Becoz im loving that vow let them keep away from our women pls and stick to their own who "dont sell" their kids.

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

NUFF SAID!!

Try and visit Igbo land during Xmas this year and see developmental projects by Igbo men in their respective communities;

I can even give you the IP if you want. What will you do?

Yes na. Female children are investments for poor Igbos.

That's why you'll never see an Igbo man who has plenty children sitting in his shop. He'll always be tying wrapper at home like a trainee cripple and be chasing people away from his herd of daughters.

LoJ:

I have never been to nigeria. If Igbo boys do what you say, it is highly commendable, but we deviate from the topic.

Teespice:
I am going to be brutal and blame the girl.

you know your husbands capability as well as his financial standing before you accepted to marry him.

when the list or bride price was brought, you should have at least pleaded with your family as well as your relatives to at least be considerate considering hard times and the bad economy, instead, I am guessing (since I wasn't there) you sat, watched them rip your hubby off and you are coming on social media to complain.

there is nobody who won't tell me that if she pleaded with her father to talk to the extended family to reduce the requirements, that they won't concede no matter how small.

bear your cross and let this one be an eye opener when you are planning your white wedding.

humilitypays:
go and sit down, when u are ready to marry, we will know.

My eldest bro graded the road of his bride's community before the traditional wedding just to ensure the road is accessible to visitors and wellwishers coming for the wedding ceremony.

We Igbos don't see it as a big deal, reason we prepare well before settling down, so go and marry from the tribes that give their daughters away for free okay and let's have peace of mind pls

linusbnn:


Not every part of Igboland is expensive,she should be specific. My place in Imo state is 100k if you dnt want to buy anything on the list.

hammerF6:
I AM SORRY TO SAY BUT THAT WOMAN IS IN HOT SOUP.

SHE BETTER ROLL UP HER SLEEVES AND FIND A TRADE BECOS, SHE IS THE BREAD WINNER OF THAT FAMILY.

HER MAN COULD NOT EVEN PASS THE 'MEANS TESTING'.

HOW MUCH DID YOUR BROKE ASS BOYFRIEND USE TO FOOT HIS WEDDING EXPENSES?

Y DID U NOT RUN AND FOLLOW HIM WITHOUT WEDDING AND SEE IF HE VALUES FREE THINGS AFTER MAKING YOU A BABY MAMA AND THEN LEAVE TO PURSUE ANOTHER SLAY QUEEN.

INSTEAD OF THANKING YOUR FATHER FOR MAKING HIM RESPONSIBLE, U ARE BLAMING HIM FOR YOUR JOBLESS HUSBAND.

PARENTS ARE NEVER APPRECIATED AND ALWAYS EASY TO BLAME FOR OUR OWN FAILING.

IS THIS HOW U WILL USELESS YOUR FUTURE KIDS WITH INDISCIPLINE.

ALSO, SHE IS A VERY USELESS GIRL. HOPELESS GIRL! COLLECT SLAP!

Shedrack777:
"your elder brother graded the road of his bride's community" just imagine such nonsense.
is he the first person to get married to a lady outside the community? in fact, i no believe you

okway:


She’s warning not only her father but also the useless greedy men that sale their children.

She ain’t the first person to mention this on social media.

Gwilld:
I stand with you ma. Even though bride price is Biblical, some father in-laws in Nigeria especially from a particular tribe are just too greedy, selfish, ignorant and too business minded when giving out their daughters for marriage. Thank you for speaking out while others wallow silently in their marriage debt. Some couples can't even collect wedding pictures after wedding, cos there is no money to pay.

humilitypays:
lol, not the same bros that married a Yoruba lady though, this one married an Igbo lady...and their village road wasn't that motorable and his friends were to be at the wedding, they will definitely yab him lol

Its not a big deal my brother...if u got the money, spend it.....if not that I don't like crowd and big wedding sha, mine will be greater when the time comes o, it's a thing of joy to finally settle down na; the lady should be made to be proud and happy having u as her man. You won't understand sha lol

Shedrack777:
what you should have said earlier was he did it on personal interest, not as part of the list given to him, nor was he forced by anyone

tossie101:


Ignore them u know u cant say anything that wil make then reason with u..
Thats how yorubas are.
Spitting igbos is their hubby..
Has made me grown some kind of dislike for them its a pity

Yungkid101:
An Igbo lady is really angry about the cost of her traditional wedding as it has drained herself and her Isoko husband financially, to the point of being in debt.


She took to Facebook to rant about it. Read below…

NUFF CRAP SAID BY ME!!

chuksanambra:
It's not all parts of the East, some greedy people sell their children and maximise profit.

Reminds me of a true story. One girl brought a man home to her parents in the East for marriage. After buying the required things and paying, the groom was made to pay exorbitant fees on the day of the trad by the bride's father and mother. Those who went with the man complained bitterly but the man kept quiet and paid.

After the wedding, the man informed his in laws that he didn't want to see them in his house had bought the wife. It was thought to be a joke until the wife delivered and the wife's mother was turned back at the gate of her daughter's house.

Fulmigati:
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:
oh sure he did it on his own, they didn't force him to, sorry I thought I mentioned that initially.

okway:


lol

You sound so pained.

I hope idiotic Ibo fathers that like selling their children like pigs are paying attention.

Onyi42:


Am anambra....ihiala to be precise

Greenbullet:
Some foolish people are here slating Yoruba people, My friend married from a Yoruba Family and guess what, the father -in-law told the boy not to pay a dime for bride price, The cost of the wedding was shared between my friend and the father, right now my friend is in England with his wife, the money he intended to use for the bride price is what he used to process their travelling documents, I am the one in charge of building his house, at roofing stage, if the father was greedy like this IMO state man, the husbands life wouldn't have taken this turn !

tossie101:


Yep

tossie101:


Nothing

Ekealterego:

Do you know that Igbo men will also go out of their family to observe the same traditions when they marry from another Igbo family? No one is extorting from you. People within the ethnic group know how to negotiate things down and make compromises.
Igbo men who marry within the tribe do not have a problem with the culture why then are people outside the ethnic group fighting to change the culture? Its like a rite of passage and very important to us, if you are from outside the ethnic group and not okay with this, you can equally go for the other pretty women outside the ethnic group but we can't change our culture to satisfy you when the Igbo men have observed this rite for centuries.
I'm sorry if you have an eye on one of our sisters, its best you go with an elderly friend an Igbo man will be better. In most cases, its the community rites and ceremony that shoot the price up and not the immediate family and you don't even need a white wedding or any other wedding to be recognized as a son-in-law.

horsepower101:


There was a thread on Nairaland years ago where Yoruba women married to igbo men all confirmed the same thing. They all said that Igbo husbands know how to take care of their wives and family. They will go extra mile to make sure that their family is comfortable.

Also one thing in that thread that yoruba men won over Igbo men was in being romantic. Yoruba men in general were more romantic but Igbo men took very good care of their family needs. It is ingrained in our Igbo culture.

grandstar:


Shocked. So you guys no dey charge for bride price? Kudos to that

Never crossed the Niger but I've been to the North.

Might have to cross eventually. Might be marrying from there
