Bride price and marriage list are 2 different things. Even in that same Imo state they are communities that accepts N15 as the bride price.

Ask the woman you intend marrying, what is obtainable in her community not what your friends assumes it to be.

By the way, share your community's bride price and the marriage list your people give intending suitors when they come for the hands of female relatives in marriage.

They are not the same humans. It is called VALUE. Let me give you a simple explanation. You are a graphic designer in company A with 3 years experience receiving 100k and another graphic designer with same experience in company B receiving 200k. The question you will ask is: is it not the same graphic software? Now you understand what value bring to the table.

Well, where I'm from they check the girl's level of education, whether she already has kids or not, her abilities and inabilities, and the kind of a family the girl is from.

Last year this other relative of mine paid R80 000 as a bride price.

He came for image tarnishing and tribal bashing.. I can bet that he doesn't have any marriage plans in near future embarassed

If she's not a virgin, then it's bad investment undecided...

You ought to be bothered about marriage list not bride price.

Some families would collect 1k as bride price but the items on the list they'll ask you to provide would worth more than a million naira.
Re: Why Are Some Bride Prices Higher Than Others? by Nobody: 11:22am On Feb 04, 2023
What about the marriage list? I think that's what matters mostly

It is because Igbo people naturally value money more than anything. They can sell their daughter in exchange for bride price. grin grin

What value does a girl whose brideprice is expensive have over another girl whose brideprice is cheap.

I know someone whose husband paid through his nose becos of brideprice, it was too expensive. After they got married, the only thing this lady does is to eat and fart around the house. She is very dirty and lazy. Doesn't want to work, contribute nothing to the house and watch TV all day. So what value does this lady has

Plz keep shut. Your women stay even in very bad marriages because they are sold off!! Ur women are like goods and commodities in marriage. Imagine a man complained he was given bride price of 2 million naira cash, 2 generators, 25 tyres etc. Go to Joel’s blog and see how men are complaining of ur useless tradition. All na fake o. The stupid tribe that don’t allow a female inherit Anytin from her father or her husband. A tribe that maltreats their widows. A tribe that sells their daughters to the highest bidder. Plz say somtin else, Una don cast. Na your ladies Dey do ashewo pass. We Yoruba guys will Bleep dem tire den pass dem to you to pay bride price tru ur nose. We re not complaining as long as we Bleep hell out of them
All you've been saying here is bleep bleep bleep so I can attest why your women are always in control of your men. I can also attest why you don't have a future since all your hard work (that is if you even do) all end up with sleeping with women. I've known that you're not intelligent, replicating your polygamous home where you came from.
Re: Why Are Some Bride Prices Higher Than Others? by MissTemi1(f): 8:13pm On Feb 04, 2023
I am saying bleep bleep bleep because that is what most of your young ladies are good in. But ur daft tradition can’t put a stop to the way your ladies see prostitution as a way of life, instead they demand high bride price for over used pussy. Then your men buy them from their parents in huge amount, then take them like dogs in the house. Then u say their marriage last long. Which mouth she wan use complain to her ppl after they have sold her like goat
