A TYPICAL BRIDE PRICE LIST IN IBO LAND (Page 27)

Shut up! Olodo....

hhahhahah u na typical Aba Man

Igbo ndi oma

cioa cara come stai

Poster i beg that is cheap, you are lucky the list  had cheap stuff on it. when my sister got married, her husband had to buy a car for the eze of our town( and my sister has never met this eze). Well my sister's husband comes from a well to do background, but he dropped a good 280K euros before the bride price was negotiated, and the funny thing is that the bride price itself  was only 250k naira, but when all was done with the wedding, her husband people had spent a whooping 98.5 million Naira, and my parents on their part spent 3.5 Million Naira  to add to the wedding, so her wedding wasnt cheap at all.  My  Brothers and our kinsmen said to my  sister's husband who by the way is half  ghanian, "Welcome to igbo land, where we dont sell our daughters, we remind you how precious our daughters are by how much you have to suffer  before we allow them to marry you, and if you fcuk up we will warn you the first 3 times, but after that, we have the right to beat the hell out of you and take our daughter back( you can keep any seed from the realtionship), after all we didnt raise her to be maltreated in her own home."

  Number 1.. Stop the tribalism

  Number 2 ..Respect other people's culture

  Number3.. The decision to send a list and accept bride price is the parents' decision. If bride price is not collected does not mean the girl/ boy is cheap; simply means they are boycotting the old culture which uses it as a means of an insurance policy in case anything goes wrong as well as a means to signify they trust the man or girl to take care of their daughter/son. If you don't collect it, still means you are trusting the guy/girl to fulfill their roles as a groom/bride

 Number4..Your decision to be homely, educated or what not is down to the individual...Where beauty could be majorly genetic, don't so called 'not pretty' people get married? a lot of people who are married had no education but are still married so chilax

 number 5..I cannot keep going..The point is GET A FRICKING GRIP OVER YOURSELVES THOSE TAKING IT SO PERSONAL; when you then finally divorce what does it come to?? NOTHING!! ITS ALL MATERIALISTIC ITEMS, DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU ANY HAPPINESS; PRAY TO GOD TO GIVE A GOOD WIFE/HUSBAND WHATEVER TRIBE YOU WANT IF THAT IS CRUCIAL...BEING FROM ON TRIBE DOES NOT MEAN THE MAN WILL BE A SAINT OR NOT ....STOP LIVING IN THE PAST, I KNOW A LOT OF YOU DONT EVEN PRACTICE EVERY ONE OF YOUR TRIBAL'S CUSTOMS SO WHY THE FUSS?? ITS YOUR HAPPINESS NOT THEIRS
