Dguy, you think the article is very true, I say you are wrong. This may have happened to some guys, but it is generalizing, and the person including yourself do not understand the Igbo culture and customs. Your assumption and presumptions is quite wrong. Your apology is hollow.
Its not an assumption, if you are igbo you will know - you get to refund all what the girls family has spent in training the girl (except for time) then you need to pay the bride price (profit).

there's nothing to debate Sam....just tell me anywhere it was written or said to be part of igbo traditional marriage rites dat must be done nd completed.

Sorry (Igbos) - i dont intend to take offence, but am not the author of the article - it was published in daily champion - a very popular Nigerian tabloid and i thought we could discuss it here.....

Dguy, you think the article is very true, I say you are wrong. This may have happened to some guys, but it is generalizing, and the person including yourself do not understand the Igbo culture and customs. Your assumption and presumptions is quite wrong. Your apology is hollow. Its not an assumption, if you are igbo you will know - you get to refund all what the girls family has spent in training the girl (except for time) then you need to pay the bride price (profit). I am Igbo. In the old time, yes, but not in this day and age. A man that marries into an Igbo family becomes a member of the family. If he chooses to help members of his family, that is an honor to him, but it is never forced. A man does it because he wants to. Nobody expects him or forces him to do that. The prayer is for them to live happily ever after and to go forth and multiply. You are assuming things that are not true. It may happen in some families, but that is not a reason to brand all Igbo families as practicing the same thing. It is up to the groom if he wants to help the family. | Posted: at 19-06-2009 04:08 PM (14 years ago) | Upcoming | |
