Gift Samuel, a Nigerian lawyer, has discussed the consequences of men living with women and having children with them without paying the bride price.

Such guys, she said, would not experience God’s favor and would keep struggling.

On her Facebook page , he lawyer instructed such guys to try and execute traditional ceremonies on the woman, no matter how minor.

Her post on Facebook read:

“If a Man lives with someone’s daughter without any kind of rites and she has given birth 1,2,3 and you keep promising her you’ll see her parents to no avail. God’s favor is far from you, you’ll keep struggling. Continue.

“Ordinarily we should blame the woman but let’s not do that. A woman who is in love can trust you with her life . She just believes you when you told her you will do it. She didn’t want to abort the 1st baby because she trusted you. Now 2nd baby came, 3rd baby came . Where else will she go to ? Would she have left with the first child and become a single mother? So she decided to stay, praying that you will keep to your promises. Thats taking advantage of a woman, I guess.”

According to some traditions, she said, if the woman passed away at the man’s home, he would still carry out the funeral ceremonies.

The lawyer said:
“Just pray say the girl no be Igbo girl , if anything happens to her during childbirth or whilst still living in your house . You go see Shege from her Kinsmen. That marriage wey you no do for her whilst she was alive , you will marry her in death and do wedding with her corpse . As you dey like Awuf.”
