10 Most Expensive Cultures to Marry From in Nigeria
In Nigeria and in most African countries, marriage is treated with great respect and as such some cultures in Nigeria ensure that whoever comes to marry their daughters fulfill all the traditional rites to the latter. In most cases, these traditional rites can be termed as expensive cultures to marry from and so are dreaded.
Although the most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria is not restricted to just a geographic region or tribe in Nigeria, but of course the eastern part of Nigeria- the Igbo speaking region of Nigeria and also some states from the Southern part of Nigeria can be said to be some of the most expensive cultures to get a wife.
When we talk about the most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria, it refers to spending well over five hundred thousand naira to about three million or more to tick yes to all that is listed on the ‘traditional marriage list’ usually drawn by the community or kinsmen of the bride. One thing about these cultures (the most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria) is that the parents of the bride can hardly influence the list to favor their son –in-law to be.
These are the 10 most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria;
The Mbaise People of Imo State
The Mbaise people are found in Imo state part of Nigeria and they occupy three local government areas in Imo State (Aboh Mbaise, Ahiazu Mbaise and Ezinihitte Mbaise). The major cities of Mbaise people are Ezi na ihite, Ahiara. Agbaaja, Oke Uvuru. The Mbaise people are known for their quest for higher education, hence the large numbers of graduates and professionals amongst them. The Mbaise culture is amongst the most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria because of the numerous components that make up their traditional marriage list. As a matter of fact, the more educated the bride is, the more expensive the marriage list becomes.
The Ngwa People of Abia State
The Ngwa people are found in Abia state of Nigeria and they constitute the largest and most populous sub – ethnicity or clan in the whole of the south – eastern part of Nigeria. Anyone man who seeks to marry an Ngwa lady must be ready to fulfill all that is listed in the traditional marriage list. The culture of the Ngwa people is said to be amongst the most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria because of the many things the groom is expected to do for the bride’s family and for the entire community where the bride hails from.
The Nkpa People of Abia State
The Nkpa people of Abia state are found in Bende local government of Abia state. Marrying an Nkpa lady is truly expensive especially if you are not from Nkpa. The list for the traditional marriage rite is designed in such a way that it is cheaper for and Nkpa man that is getting married to an Nkpa lady; but if a man who is not from Nkpa is seeking for the hands of an Nkpa lady, he must be ready to organize a marriage ceremony that accommodates the entire community, and also must buy gifts not only for the parents of the bride, but also for all the kinsmen (Umu nna) and their daughters (Umu Ada). The truth is that by the time the groom is done fulfilling the list, he would have spent well over seven hundred thousand naira.
The Mbano People of Imo State
Mbano is a community that is located in the Southeastern part of Nigeria and they are part of the Igbo people of Nigeria. Just like the Mbaise people of Imo State, the traditional marriage list of the Mbano people is said to be expensive. Although the groom must fulfill all that is listed in the marriage list, and in some cases, if the groom is wealthy, he might even be required to build a house for the bride’s parents as part of the marriage requirements.
The Ngwo People of Enugu State
Most of the people and culture in Enugu state seems to be very moderate when it comes to traditional marriage list for their daughters, but the Ngwo people tends to stand out of the pack. The Ngwo culture requires that any man that wants to marry their daughter must be willing to prove that he can take care of their daughter by first meeting their requirements which often is expensive. If you compare the traditional marriage list of the Ngwo people to other cultures in Enugu state, you come to the conclusion that indeed it is one of the most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria.
The Ikwere People of Rivers State
The Ikwere people are found in Rivers State and they are generally considered to be Igbo people because of the similarities in both their language and culture of the Igbo people. Just like the Mbaise people, when you sum up all that are required before you can take a bride from Ikwere land, you would realize that it is in excess of one million naira, hence it is amongst the most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria.
The Ogoja People of Cross Rivers State
The Ogoja people are found in Ogoja Local Government Area of Cross Rivers State. The major communities in Ogoja are Ekpogrinya,, Nwang, Esham, Nnang, Egbong, Ewinimba and Banasara. Marrying an Ogoja lady is expensive because of all that is required for the groom to fulfill before the bride can be handed over to him.
The Efik People of Cross Rivers State
The Efik people have a rich culture and marriage is not left out. Much more than meeting the expensive traditional marriage list, a groom is expected to organize a carnival like event for the traditional marriage especially if he is getting married to the daughter of an influential person in the town.
The Ibibio People of Akwa Ibom State
The Ibibio people are found in Akwa Ibom state and they are known to be hardworking people especially when it comes to the Agricultural sector. The requirements from any man who wants to take an Ibibio woman is a wife can be said to be expensive because of the numerous components that makes up the list.
The Annang People of Akwa Ibom State
The Annang people are found in Akwa Ibom state and they are the second largest ethnic group in Akwa Ibom state. Any groom who intends taking a bride from the Annang people must be ready to meet fulfill the traditional marriage rites of the people and it is indeed expensive because of the loads of stuff and fees that the groom is expected buy and pay for.
There you have it 10 most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria. Whilst some who have found themselves the best brides in these places would pay come what may, yet others opt out as a result of the high bride list.

Popular Pastor Caught ‘Licking Woman’s Pr*vate Part’
These were the words of a 32-year-old woman who alleged that she was sexually assaulted by a pastor at Omanjor near Sowutuom, a suburb of Accra,nigeriana reports.
The pastor, Stephen Addy-Powell of Crown Miracle International Ministries, Omanjor, was therefore arrested by the Sowutuom Police to assist in their investigations.
According to the victim:
“I was in the house that afternoon when I heard somebody banging on our main gate, so I rushed to see who that person was.”She stated that they started to pray about it, and in the process, Pastor Stephen Addy asked her to promise him that she would do anything she was asked to do which she accepted.
She said when she went to open the gate she saw Pastor Stephen Addy Powell holding a Bible together with two others.
“Pastor introduced himself as a man of God, and also founder and leader of Crown Miracle International Ministries Omanjor and that he had a message for me. So I ushered him into my sitting room.
“He then asked his friends to excuse us by going out while he told me the confidential message.
“He said God had revealed to him that I had been engaged spiritually by some evil spirits. He said if we did not pray to break that evil bond I could neither marry nor have a child,” the lady told the police.
The woman alleged that after some moments of prayer inside her sitting room, the pastor lifted her dress, removed her panties and started to lick her v*gina.
“He licked me for quite a long period before concluding the prayers,” she said.After the conversation, the victim averred that a formal report was lodged to the Sowutuom police where Pastor Stephen Addy was arrested.
The complainant said after Pastor Addy had left with his colleagues, she became afraid of the actions of the pastor and so reported the incident to her church pastor.
“Some family members also asked me to report the matter to the police but because I had no evidence, I intentionally called Pastor Stephen on the phone to question him about the consequences of his licking my vagina.
“I also asked why he licked my vagina and then he confessed that he loved me and wanted me to be his wife.”
Confirming the story, the Crime Officer of the Odorkor District Police Command, Superintendent Barfour Apenteng indicated that 31-year-old pastor Stephen Addy was indeed arrested by the police for questioning.
“Our investigations indicate that the pastor actually committed the act and so a charge of indecent assault had been leveled against him,” the police said.
He maintained that when an earlier recording was played to Pastor Addy, he got confused and then confessed to having committed the act, but said he wanted the girl as a friend.
The Odorkor crime officer stated that investigations also revealed that the pastor is married with an eight-month-old baby.
“He would be arraigned before court soon,” he added.

This 15 Year Old Boy Disguised As A girl And Sneaked Into Female Hostel To Peep At Their N*kedness (Photos)
Below is the story of an ex-model who was obsessed with big buttocks and wen the extra mile to get it, but instead got more than she bargained for.
It all began at an open model call for Wihelmina Models. Anivia Cruz-Dilworth was signed to the agency as a plus size model and from then on, worked to become successful in the industry.
Throughout her quest to become greater, her want to have a larger and curvier bottom became a definite desire. To gain immediate results, Anivia went to the dark side for black market injections, which eventually destroyed her body.
"I wanted a modeling contract. I started getting butt injections... And then, I couldn't keep the weight on anymore. I started slimming down," Anivia says. "The butt was so big and the body was getting so small. I wasn't booking anymore jobs because I couldn't fit anything."
This wasn’t the works of a professional, Anivia shares, "I didn't have the money, and I found someone that was affordable.”
Then, the liquid silicone-like substance that was illegally injected into Anivia's rear began to spread elsewhere.
"I developed something called granuloma," Anivia says. "When they were injecting me, the silicone migrated to different parts of my body. It went down; you know, it's gravity."
This migration has since caused severe damage, she adds.
"My nerves are damaged because of it. I have scar tissue inside of me. I have severe swelling," Anivia says.
"I was maybe at about 42 inches around my hips, but now because of the swelling and inflammation, my hips are like a 47. This foreign substance is a part of me now."It is excruciating pain," Anivia says. "I never sleep a whole night through. I'm on pain meds every five hours."
Unfortunately for the former model, she doesn't see any end to her health struggles.
"I do know that I will never be 100 percent normal again," Anivia says. "I'm accepting it. I have no other choice."

Syria in Last 24 Hours: Russian Warplanes Destroy US-Trained Militants’ Base in Idlib

Division 13’s Facebook page confirmed the strikes, and said the site has been totally taken down and many of its fighters were killed in the attack.
Division 13 is one of the many militant groups that have received military training under a US-led program to fight against President Bashar Al-Assad’s government.
The Russian air force started daytime precision strikes against ISIL facilities in the region on Wednesday, September 30. The air group in Syria incorporates more than 50 planes and helicopters, including Sukhoi-24M, Sukhoi-25, and multi-functional Sukhoi-34.

“Attack aircraft from the Russian air group deployed in Syria carried out record 67 combat missions in the past 24 hours hitting a total of 60 Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant targets,” Russian Air Force chief Lieutenant General Igor Makushev told journalists.
“In the past 24 hours, the Russian combat aircraft carried out 67 missions. The Sukhoi Su-34 and Su-24SM planes destroyed 60 terrorist targets,” Makushev said.

The Syrian troops, backed up by the Russian airstrikes, took full control of the village of Al-Jaboul in the nearby areas of Aleppo’s Kowaires Military Airport.
The Russian warplanes launched several precision strikes on ISIL positions in Al-Jaboul village opening the path for the Syrian ground force to win back the village.

Elsewhere, military sources said that the Russian warplanes bombed the positions of the ISIL Takfiri terrorists in Tabaqa airbase and the town’s national hospital, which was used only as the command center of the ISIL since its capture.
The sources said that the Russian Air Force carried out a dozen airstrikes against the strongholds of the ISIL in the Southern territories of Raqqa province.
The Russian fighter jets reportedly targeted the ISIL strongholds at the city of Tabaqa, where the terrorist group has turned the Tabaqa National Hospital into its central command’s headquarters.
In addition to the airstrikes over the Tabaqa National Hospital and the Tabaqa airbase, the Russian Air Force continued to attack the Al-Rusafa Camp (the ISIL’s primary storage facility) and numerous targets inside the provincial capital.
Local sources said on Monday that ISIL terrorists have evacuated the Raqqa province and fled to Iraq.
“The ISIL militants, most of them from the Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Chechnya, together with their families have left Raqqa province for Iraq,” a local source told FNA.
