That's why many Igbo ladies will never get married
They will become nna ga alu

ClearFlair:


You didn't add kisses in your own nah. Oya go and add kisses before I open my eyes.

Elder0001:


Are you trying to put your state in good light r what ? All Igbo states do this.

Omoluabi16:
They would say it is because they are classy &one of a kind that's why they command this expensive dowry.

Ishilove:

And then they complain when he bars them from his house and treat their daughter like _shit. I speak from experience.

Ishilove:

My dear in my side bride price is 10k and the items in the list is roughly about 90k (and even this is negotiable). Shikena. You don't need to sell off your father's properties to marry a woman in Delta State.

What is happening these days is daylight robbery. It's nauseating

cococandy:
Men selling their children.
Boys complaining but When they become men, they turn around and do the same.
They fight anyone who calls for the cessation of bride price but can’t seem to stop complaining about it.

It seems the problem is with the men

topboss:



Young men dont want to get married becos they are busy chasing girls.


wen dey get tired, they marry.

Online aproko outlets claim this happened in Enugu, others swear it is Imo.

Regardless of where this happened, the lines between tradition and downright extortion is blurred in many cases.

Let me do a quick inventory-

A big nanny goat
2 trays of Nittol detergent
A basin of coconut
Three suitcases of Hollandis wrappers and assorted wax prints
One bag of rice
Two crates of drinks
One crate of beer

Is that a salon size pack of Profectiv Mega Growth relaxer i see there...??

Yep it is. I wonder when hair relaxer became a part of omenala. (tradition)

Emm, I sight giant can of peak milk
Something that looks like custard
A basin of big sized Canoe bar soap

I can't keep up. My eyes are aching and I'm tired of squinting.

So what happens to the struggling man who can't afford these cutthroat lists?

janettee:
This is the most pointless part of the so-called culture. Like why do this much to get married to your partner??.

"It's tradition". Culture does not make people, I'm sure someone woke up one day and made it into law. It could be scrapped that same way too. People make culture.

RTSC:
What nonsense?

Nobody begged you to come marry.

In India, women pay dowry while In some parts of Nigeria, a man must show the strength of his arm financially before he can marry a woman.
Different strokes for different folks.

It used to be barns of yams in the olden days as depicted in Chinua Achebe "things fall apart" and has now modernized to other material things.

What ever works. As long as failed men are weeded out.

If in your place, they give out women two for five naira, all well and good.
Your sense of good is not universal.

Bros we married in delta and I spent over 290k in paying for the bride price and list I was like what thought me here...and I married the Igbo speaking part of delta after Igbuzor the place is Ishiagu before Ukwuani

Marriage is not for everyone. If he really wants to get married, he should buckle up. Marriage shouldn't be for struggling guys. Stop encouraging almajiri mentality. Everyone must not get married.
