motherfucker: There's something I need to understand please.... Why are we trying to explain to the non igbos about The bride price issues? If 200,000 naira is too much of him to pay let himarry his own tribe, I dont understand what the fuse is about. We owe nobody, especially the non igbos, we owe them no explanation whatsoever about the bride price or the culture and practice, y'all should please stick with your tribe. One minute you drag Igbo girls, the next minute you want to be their husband. Unu nile bukwa ndi ara otu n'otu. 1 Like |

sojats: Oga the list might look length, but the price of them isn't as large and expensive as it seems. 250,000 would look like it's too much for you because you earn 10,000 a month Mtcheeww. If you want to start a family, be ready or better still stay single. |

Pls my fellow NL family, why is it that these days we are following suit in doing things haywire. Ideally in ancient days, the brides family on their own decorates their compound and cooks food for their guests(which includes their own guests, grooms family n guests) out of joy for answered prayer for marriage by the gods. But these days, 98% of brides family enforce both decoration, feasting on the groom &family, who are already exploited with outrageous list. |

sanpipita:says who? That was in the olden days wen things are done rightfully( i made a thread on this. Look it up). This days most brides family would leave all for groom and his family. They wont even add any money to the amount u bring(would bluntly tell u that u didnt bring much money na if things didnt go round enough). No wonder many guys maltreat their wives as scum and slaves due to anger for all the exploitations he passed through |

cicodeblazzer: very traditional in marriage and one of the cheapest. The list usually have some sections like : knocking on door,first visit,second visit,marriage rites and dowry,then traditional marriage.. The First is immediate family of the lady only (local drink) The First and second visit can be combined (usually local drinks and snuff are brought). after that you collect list popular things on list things for (ladies from the kindred ,to be provided by your wife .lol) things for kindred men (local drink,beer,snuff/cigar,soft drink ,she goat (u bring money and bring rope), things for guys (drinks and cigar) food items (ur in-law will cook to entertain your family) things for kids. then you do your dowry wich will be heavily debated by the elders depending the level of development of ur wife (but they will as the money contain low denomination when it's brought and lowest the denomination will be taken while the rest is returned.. really traditional...) Note some of the drinks you brought will be used to entertain u and ur kindred. you can push for traditional marriage to be removed so that they can trade dowry when you complete the list ,you disappear with ur wife..If not they will reserve dowry after traditional marriage and na extra expense for you with the whole celebration. trick add drinks to the one they will give you and kindred and bring few friends. (add Lill money extra to the food stuff too then no need for trad marriage The marriage list in that state is highly negotiable(some things can be waved mostly from the families side of the list) Roughly 200-300k will do plus DJ and canopies Another trick If you won finish work do White wedding on that day and use this as your reception for village (few guest will come to village with you for reception,same amount will attend to it .) doing this worst case scenario 400k will do ur trad and white wedding with possibility of having some unused cash 1 Like |
