This is a welcome idea. I can't imagine how guys spend so much on some of these girls.... To imagine that a girl that's; NOT A VIRGIN... HAVE AT LEAST 10 BODY COUNTS ALREADY... NOT REALLY GOING TO Contribute to the marriage etc, will require SO MUCH TO MARRY.... NONSENSE! 74 Likes 6 Shares |

Long over due Imo people are using marriage as poverty alleviation. I still remember when elder bro wanted to marry from there, it was so shocking to see one G- wagon Mercedes benz for the father of the bride, and a range rover for the mother... naso we read list the laugh, my brother been drive 1999 model Toyota Camry, when we remember it, we even laugh more... we tried all we could but to no avail.. las las senior man yappa o. Imo people think they're doing me, they don't know they're doing their daughters. 42 Likes 2 Shares |

The critical aspect of marital rite is bride price and it is one thing that is widely acceptable to solidify marriage. Bride price varies from tribe to tribe and it depends on the custom and tradition of each family. Some people believe that it is a way to safeguard marriage while others believe, it is a way of selling their children especially the girls cheaply. But, whatever the case maybe. It is expected of both families to take rightful steps and decisions when their children are proposing to marry. Here is a A TYPICAL MARRIAGE LIST IN IGBO LAND. YORUBAS, do have their list also, But we are not so sure of the HAUSAS. Can any Hausas here tell us if you have anything like Bride Price/Marriage List OR what your Bride Price looks like? Thanks in anticipation.

Let them pass a bill to regulate the cost of housing. Especially in Lagos. It's alarming. Marriage is a personal issue, they should stay out of it. The most pressing one now is the rate at which landlords are inflating house rents and the spaces in these houses are so small.... The govt should help us look into this as well. it's crazy. 15 Likes |

This is a very good move. We have to face reality. There are no jobs and many businesses aren't doing well. Cut down on the cost of marriage, and entice more interested and mature ones take the bold step. This bill is win win for both young men and women. All these instances wey men wey de give women belle, and they are automatically married will soon disappear. 3 Likes |
