An excited Ifeanyi said his American lover’s people told him that there is nothing like bride price.
He added that he was told that there would be no traditional marriage, as against the custom of most Nigerian cultures regarding marriage. His Facebook post read:
“I went to my in-laws today, and they said there’s nothing like bride price and no traditional marriage. Omo.”
Ifeanyi Eze’s post stirred mixed reactions
Onye Ozioma Jesus said:
“Sir, are you saying that you didn’t give anything to the family for marrying their daughter? Even the son of Abraham gave something to the family when Isaac married Rebekah(Genesis 24:53) and Jacob served for years to marry the daughters of Laban in Padan Aram( Genesis 29). Marriage is not free. There must be commitment and something from the man to the family of the bridesmaid.”
Chibuzo A. Nwafor said:
“Yes, and that’s it. You want to emulate western cultures but you forgot that theue own system of marriage is a flop.
“The people you are comparing your own cultures with are the same people that have the highest rate of divorce among them.
“To them, marriage can start anytime and end any time.
“They don’t respect cultures and traditions like we do.
“The woman and her family owes you nothing at all.
“Marriage can even happen without the consent of the parents.
“Is that what you want to learn?
“So please do not compare them with ours.”
Agbugba Obi Liz said:

Eze Chisom said:
“There’s nothing wrong with our African culture of paying Bride price. Our culture and the Western countries are not the same. As a man, marrying any Nigerian lady, just pray not to have greed in-laws.
