mumumugu:
what of govt tax of #21000 for marriage levy

Which one is this again

After you marry who go dey settle the bill like pre and post pregnancy bills, baby food, house rent etc.

To give birth in US will cost you $10,000 meaning you have yo think twice before bringing a baby to this world.

Nigeria government needs to introduced this into our health care system, the cost should be made a million naira so as to discouraged overpopulation and encourage family planning.

Thiwalade:
That's very good! Many times when I think of marrying this my igbo babe(I'm yoruba) I sometimes wonder how much it'll cost me. This lady definitely worth every penny honestly but the way Nigeria is now doesn't give room for too much spending especially for men.

op have given us hint already


my babe na orphan(no parents) I have been there for her from academic to everything. she also deserved the Best too


thank you Op for the info, God bless your home

"She should stubbornly insist"

Rubbish talk. Crappy post.

Congratulations! Make sure you use condoms and effective pull out technique until you're financially confident to raise a kid

Lolz.. I've been trying to gather money to do same.. The money no dey gree save at all.. Honestly we've picked date next year April.. Better money never dey akant as I'm typing. Na God go help we guys o!... Not easy

All the best bro. A child doesn't learn how to run immediately he's born. As long as you already have it in your mind you'll succeed. Not everyone has a mind like yours. Not everyone thrives in difficulty.

What is Ibo?

Ibo is the correct way of spelling Igbo....
They don't two consonant alphabets together in Ibo, unless it's a consonant vowel sounds....
You may not understand this tho....

Why do you set alarm before you sleep at night? How sure are you that you're going to wake up to see the next day? Thanks

I am quite a young man in my late 20's. There's this lady whom I love so much. She's from one of these eastern states in Nigeria. She's very beautiful, very godly and still a virgin. We've been together for about two years now but no money for marriage. The reason is because it is quite expensive to get married in their state.

I told her to inquire from her parents how much I may need for the marital rites she called me back and said about 500k (na just to manage be that o). So I said ok. 500k is actually a small amount but when you try to get it and you cannot, then it will suddenly become like 500 million to you. So I started putting in more efforts to raise the money but na lie the money no wan show.

Guess what I did today? I called her up and after talking about other issues I finally told her that I can't keep waiting to raise that amount of money. I have been depressed about it for some time now but I couldn't tell her because I didn't want her to get bothered. So I told her to go tell her parents that what I can raise by God's grace is 200k. If they approve, I'll come but if not make she go look for another man marry. Before now she has been asking me to come with anything I have but I kept saying no and the reason is that you can't just show up at someone's house and tell them that you've come to pick up their daughter with the little amount you have. So guess what? Just like magic they agreed to what I said (even though I wasn't expecting it to go that way). She sent me the text confirming her parent's approval. For me its a big miracle. If I should tell you the state in question you won't believe it.

So here's my advise to you all who want to get married to the love of your life but no money... Make you and the Babe get strong head work together or else her village people go dey delay una marriage because they want something elaborate. It's good to be stubborn I tell people. Both of you should come up with a plan (not to get her pregnant o. I don't that please). But the plan will be carried out by your woman. She should stubbornly insist incase the parents are the difficult type, that this is the man she wishes to marry and if they don't let her she will remain single for ever (parents especially mothers dey fear that kind talk) if it doesn't work think of something else.

Just keep trying or else two of una go dey there old. But above all please put God first. He can make even the most hardened of men become soft for your sake. He may not send you all the money you need to fulfil what's in the list but He can make her parents accept you the way you are. It is called favour. What you need is the approval and blessings from both parents nothing more.

Forget village people. They too like eating and drinking. that if you spend all the money in your just to get married you and your wife will starve after the wedding. And to those who are insisting on white wedding please stop being foolish. White wedding is just a mere celebration just to fulfil all righteousness. If you have the money for it, fine. If not, no kill yourself. Don't keep your woman or man waiting.

Take a bold step today and God will meet you guys halfway. But whatever you do PLEASE don't marry a lazy woman. With this is mind, its just a matter of time you guys will succeed. Two good head are better than one. All the best guys. One love.

@bold part, shey na Imo?


BTW, please ensure that you are financially stable before you start making babies

Nothing like its too late to get married, what matter most is for both of you to enjoy the union to the fullest.

God bless your union

Godsonjolly:
God bless your union. But why will I pay 500k for marital rites? Even my sis own was not up to 100k. The bride price no reach 20k talk more of 50k. My dad was so lenient with everything. The fact is even if it's 1m for the bride price, the money will surely finish. So why making things difficult for people when u can make it easy.

Do you have another sister?. I'm planning to take a fourth wife�

You are asked to come with anything does not mean you have completed the marriage process. I bet you they will give their daughter out after 5 or even a year later after you must have completed the marriage rite. Or, the parents of the girl wanted you to settle only the village tradition rite alone, maybe their rite as the bride parents will come years later. It all depend on the parents. Congrats in advance if your case is the later.

Africans chai. So the children you will born how far them forget that woman and invest in shares so that you won't be a miserable fool earning 20k to cater for four children and your wife. Rubbish.

Freehuman:
Oboy, shun all these motivation. Find meaning to your life and hustle for money. As I see as man like me pack better Benz dey talk with Babe wey I suppose control, inspiration set in. Water full my eyes. Oboy, hustle forget wife.

Amanda4life:



Let him not rejoice yet until he starts the process.

Parents are funny.

They may just collect that one from you and then tell you to go and bring more.


Can we bet?
Do you know how much pampers the your woman wore?

Not talk of cost of other care.


See even the religious parents they like better thing.

I don't trust the parent, they want to chook OP with bone in his throat.. He will go and bring more money after paying the first. I wish the guy well, honestly it's not easy.

Don't let that person mislead you... it's written and spelt Igbo. He is telling you two consonants are not spelt together, ask him how do they write Ogbuefi, Ogbuagu, Olugbo (bitter leaf), Ogbor, Okpa, Okpu etc.
He doesn't know anything about igbo alphabet but this is Internet where people claim to be professors.
If you pronounce it as Ibo in the midst of Igbos, they will look at you as a non-igbo.

Ordinarily, the way Ndigbo, Igbobuofu, Igboboy and other Igbo related topic is being spelt should serve as a guide.
Didn't you write waec, neco, newspaper etc or haven't you seen it on any official or important documents, check and see how it's written...

the lady go gree first naa!

Gabson001:
why do I feel her parents just want her out of the house

no. every good parent love to see their children grow into parents in their life time

Thiwalade:

If you are really ready to settle down with her, go ahead.
That price thing is just to add more value.. It is very very negotiable. Just like OP said, it all depends on the lady to align with her mum, who gets to pacify the dad, who in turn water down his kinsmen. This is just the way.

And never ever plan wedding u can't afford.
The real marriage starts immediately after the wedding.
No competition for the most lavish wedding or biggest.

To all of you shouting money money money... What happens if with one bad financial decision you go totally bankrupt... What will happen to the woman whom you impressed and bought with your money? Hope she will still be with you when nothing dey again? I'm not surprised because most guys on nairaland believe that all women are after money. Please check the Proverbs 31:10 woman. They still exist. And guess what they're not impressed about your money. If you're not valuable they won't even consider you. Please to guys with such mindset grow up! A man who needs only money in order to appeal to a woman is still a child. Real men possess value first and real women recognize value before money. So guys it's not me you're actually mad at. It's yourselves

Na evening newspaper?...

Thank God for my mother in-law, even before I met my father in-law, mother in-law had assured me that all will be fine. Indeed it was fine. Though the village people tried to unsettled things along the line, she claimed to had received somethings out of ignorance and after deliberation forth and backwards, they had no choice that to let us progressed to the next stage and now we are happily married and financially better than we were before marriage.

How do you intend to your new family if money is a big issue?

Marriage rites are only the beginning. I am not sure if you are capable of bearing the financial burden of a family.

Munzy14:

Better for me to marry evening newspaper and have peace of mind than marry morning newspaper that will send me to my early grave. Any other question?

Skmoda360:

Meanwhile, marriage is a blessing if we marry d right person...


How long will u b sacred of ur responsibility?

profilemessages:
happily single, marriage isnt for everyone, and not everyone is happily married, divorce is rampant these days. After few months newly weds usually file for divorce.

single mums plenty for streets single guys, hoes oloshos and slay mamas everywhere. I won't advise you to marry or don't marry, CUT YOUR COAT ACCORDING TO YOUR CLOTH!!!!

most who rush into marriage end up to be telling us "ngbatiii" "ngbatiii" stories on nairaland!!!

say no more!!!! More blessings on you.....
