"When A Man Pays Your Bride Price, He Has Automatically Paid For Your Life"- Nigerian 'relationship Counselor' Says

Sigh, this is what happens when you’ve been single for so long konji go come dey affect pesin brain. Abeg when you pay for plane ticket or common taxi do you own the plane/taxi or do you even own the seat permanently? In case you can’t relate to this… if you carry runs, na you own the person or the kpekus abi na rent you rent am? In most Nigerian cultures bride price is symbolic in nature - it is a mere indication that a man sees value in the bride he is begging for AND that he is capable of taking care of her hence why most cultures here either return or do not allow large sums for bride price so that one idiot will not be under the false impression that he has “bought” property! Anyone looking for a slave should first be ready to pay all the food, clothes, education, rent, medical bill of the bride from birth to present… and even then that won’t be enough to own any human soul. To the men who think like this pls attempt to rise above illiteracy, acquire small common sense and and seek Godly wisdom! 🚶🏽‍♂️

Cos you have gone to some schools, left the village to come to the city, impersonating a marriage counsellor you dicided to condemn and bastardise our own tradition and culture...well I have only one reaction for you. Yorubas have a say, "omo ale lo ma nfi owo osi juwe ile baba re." Simply put only a bastard uses the left hand to describe where the father's house is located....

Marriage is not a slave trade industry. All you need is to find your God-fearing soulmate. I've been married for 22 years, and each day gets better before God.

Avoid this "pick me type of woman" chauvinist/misogynist enabler and worthless woman. Her upbringing is impoverished and shaky.

As a man, I have to say this is another way to proclaim idiocy without just plain claiming it

with what money. bride price nowadays is not a way of buying a person but a way of showing appreciation to the bride's parents

Why are we forgetting civilisation ? We don’t forget it in every other aspect of life . I am just curious why we are forgetting it in marriage

Personally I think bride price suld be scrapped.I mean why must a man “buy” a woman from her people,also pay for the wedding

Including killing the person if he wants. I hail you.

This one wants to trend. Nonsense!
