Bighead9:
Igbo can do anything for money, marriage inclusive. The other day, they gave an underaged Girl to a mentally unstable man in exchange for money


Hmmm, Igbo and money. They always end up fighting when they are sharing the bride price paid by their in-laws

Virginkpekus:

Oga stop lamenting, nysc is just one year, go and marry from your village.

eazzzy1:


The only one lamenting here is you. I am not into Igbo women, I am not dating an Igbo woman, I will not marry an Igbo girl.

If you want people to marry from their villages stop spreading your seeds in their villages. Stay in your caves.

cococandy:


Bride price is a male culture. Enforced by men ( as are most regressive cultures) “we are in Africa yen yen yen”. Then turn around and blame women for the foolishness. Watch them grow into men who perpetrate the culture while also griping about it. A father can decide he won’t collect bride price and nothing will happen.

The confusion is making me dizzy .

Virginkpekus:

No problem, marry another tribe and stop this obsession with the Igbos.

Bighead9:


Me, marry Igbo Girl? You want kiiii me?

I rather stay single for ever.

Virginkpekus:
Was in danfo yesterday and I heard a man lamenting about how expensive it is to marry an Igbo girl, don't know his tribe by the way (but he didn't sound Yoruba or hausa). So I thought to myself why not marry someone from your own place and save yourself the stress of this Igbo headache.
On average Igbos marry Igbos and they seem to be doing just fine.
So why are other tribes so bothered by this?...because I don tire to dey hear this ranting from non Igbos.

Bride price laws were created because men saw women as less than human and wanted to treat them as mere commodities that can be exchanged for property or money.
But men are now the ones blaming women and complaining of bride price laws because Buhari economy is holding their necks and dealing with their bank accounts. If it was in an era when there were still many jobs and the economy was good I can bet my last kobo that the same men complaining of bride price will be vehemently insisting that it should be paid because they like the idea of buying and selling women like cows.

Okay...keep them out of your mouth then. That's all we ask for

Why not marry children then? At least they won’t have as much sexual experience as y’all do . Hopefully they won’t even have any.

When you talk about abolishing bride price (as it should be), watch these lot start frothing at the mouth.

For some weird illogical reason the ladies that are sleeping with you guys now haven’t reduced your value in your minds but somehow you guys have reduced their value by doing the same sexual activity to her that she did to you. Make it make sense. But it doesn’t. Because it’s stupid. Almighty logic . Making yourselves sound like filth for reducing the value of whatever you touch.

Simply do away with bride price or keep wailing about high bride prices for the same women that you’re currently sleeping with, who are magically not virgins on the day you’re ready to get married .

. You are wrong, the men are complaining now because women no more what they used to be (virgin). My dad married my mom a virgin but two of my sisters already date someone,I am tempted to believe they have body count. They are married though but I do used it to get to them that their husbands didn't get to see the hymen,they always want to kill me for reminding them their mistake. Point is stay virgin avoid we the men then we can break bank to have your hands in marriage. I am even prepare to pay double if I can get my hands on a proper (Character wise), smart and God fearing lady who is a virgin.

CHoccolaTE:


Men are also not virgins these days, they now sleep around before and after marriage and act irresponsibly, neglect their children, fail to provide and protect their families etc. That's not how men of old acted.
They can't have shit character then start looking for high quality brides for marriage

Plead:
Stupid post,stupid/trolling op.


Bride price should be abolished,it’s long overdue.

cococandy:
You were making sense until you started talking nonsense about virginity and body count. That’s just stupid talk.

No one’s value depends on who they slept with. If it’s that way, then most men must be worthless.

Also the worth of a person should have nothing to do with how much their father decided to ask the groom to pay. Unless you’re thinking of it as purchasing a commodity.

At the bolded am really surprise a man can talk like this, so those who married for lesser than that amount are no longer having a harmonious marriage right, so money or higher bride price is the only factor that qualifies an individual to have blissful or be ready for marriage, are you 4 real, I call this misplaced priorities, one will expect this generation to have grown above this outdated lifestyle and embrace dynamism calling for a total downward review concerning marrying an IBO lady.

Go ask IBO guys who married from other tribes weather the women they married are of lesser value, or did they produce children with one eye, ear or no nose children, what makes an IBO lady so special and different to warrant/attract such an exorbitant/unnecessary amount that causes men to break bank on thier behalf.

Think of it, this is the reason why other values that are supposed to be considered in marriage or before marriage are thrown in the trash can & money considered as the only base irrespective how the money was made, a total deviation & variance of marital values is what is being practiced.

Reading all the comments from most of the females just show were our loyalty now lies and we all expect money to do the magic in bringing about the so called blissful marital Union, it doesn't work that way my dear, factors such as compatibility, love, understanding/chemistry, tolerance have all now been measured using the money ruler, and these same ladies are the first to cry out opening thread upon thread when thier marriage hits the rock irrespective of the presence of cash.

Nobody is saying money is not necessary in marriage, and who says money can't be made inside or after marriage, but placing half a million on a lady just for bride price (who is not even a Virgin, with countless body counts, & abortions not that we are using it as a yadstick) is totally unheard-of and just shows the level moral decadence in stock for generation to come if nothing is done about it..for Pete's sake am not acquiring a property or going into real estate, i can as well secure certificate of occupancy c/o to seal the deal, am just getting married.

Man wen e go value e wife Go value e wife irrespective of how much he spent on Bride price .

Peace .

Virginkpekus:

My point is the lamentation....if you know the Igbo bride price is too much, why not avoid Igbo girls?
It's like me going to where they sell cars and pricing a Mercedes Benz, knowing full well that they are not cheap...then crying afterwards about the price.
