The most ridiculous bride price have heard,, is of the Urhobo nd Esan poeple which pay #10 and #24 as their bride price, because they said they do not 'sell their women.

Esan people even return the bride price money to the groom's people after the marriage because they do not sell their girls.

Mine is not really a bride price but it was ridiculous all the same. It was when my friend got married. I dont actually know the bride price my friend paid but after that, the girl's father demanded a hundred crate of beer. It wasn't only ridiculous, it was freakin hilarious and annoying at same time. Another one i experienced was that after all the traditional engagement and bride price, the father of the bride refuse to release his daughter on the wedding day insisting they must pay him additional 100k I'm like Whatdaphuck!

If this is how this bride price of a thing will continue, most expecially from our Igbo babes, then it is their father that will marry them.
My advice to every young man like me, once you discover that the parent of the babe want to sell her to you, just pack your shoe and cut out... Don't even waist time at all. When she grow old for house, they will give her out for free.

I paid 1000 naira.. More like her father just took 1000 naira note out of the stack of money I presented.

I wasnt asked for much with the list. Every other thing I spent was of my own volition.

That's a very good culture. It's not about the price, but the significance unlike people who demand ridiculous amounts of money as if they are selling their daughter.

And you call that ridiculous ? My friend got married to an owerri girl last year. He paid a bride price of N2.5million, after which, he bought the wedding materials for all the relatives, from the mother, to the father down to the uncles and aunties, the sisters and cousins including nephews. He was also give 2 family members to train in school and business. After 8months of the wedding.....the bride's father demanded for a car and the father specifically asked for a 2005 c-class Mercedes Benz Car which he borrow money to buy for him. The mother asked for some money to fill her shop with stocks which my friend is still finding it difficult to give her. Isn't this ridiculous ?

In my family(Isoko Peeps), we usually return the bride price, take Say 100 or less to d oldest in our clan(if the wedding was not done in our home town or if the oldest person is nt in attendance) as a sign that their daughter was actually married properly.

I think its between Ngwa(Abia) and Mbaise(Imo)
In Mbaise they will offer you one of brides younger siblings to train from whatever level they are,to university level,after sucking your pocket dry from all long list of quite frankly Id.iotic demands.
Ngwa comes a distant 2nd,last time an uncle went to marry there,they demanded a laptop and a modem in addition to a 'ladies motorcycle' for the brides mum.crazie
