igbsam: 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 ? Tell your friend to cut the babe open wit a knife. I presume there must be hidden treasures in the likes of gold and diamonds for her family to be making such outrageous demands... 1 Like |

Evestar200: 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.MBAISE IN IMO STATE IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE. They grade their brides in 4 categories: 1. ILLITERATE 2. SCHOOL CERTIFICATE 3. GRADUATE 4. MASTERS AND ABOVE Each has their different price tags. For example the graduate can cost you as much as 600k to 1m. |

Evestar200: @yomi,,igbo marriage bride price cost die mosly imo igbos I am igbo from Arochukwu in Abia state. our daughters go for N25.25k. It has never changed and will never change. That tradition came from when 25 pounds was big money but today we still give out at N25.25k. Ask around and you will confirm. When you guys generalize the way you do, i tend to think we have a lot of immature people around this forum. It is sickening. By the way, our bride price negotiation commences in the open with the parents asking for as high as millions (just forthe fun of it). Some will even tell you that you will be in dollars, pounds or euros. Later the family of the bride and groom are asked to go and negotiate inside and come out. By the time they come out, the parents of the lady (or their reps) will clarify that their forbears did not tell them to accept such high prices, rather that they have been accepting N25.25 kobo in line with tradition. It is after that that the family of the groom will pay the N25.25 and show appreciation with a bottle of hot drink. I attend this festivities every December and it is usually fun 3 Likes |

hardbody:Bros park well,the N25 bride price doesn't tell the full story.When you consider items written down in the list such as Jorge,25 cartons of beer or more,cartons of malt,rolls of ciggarete,utaba,cartons of Soap,gift items to umuada,youths,iyom Aro,memebers of the brides clan etc etc... There goes your N25 theory lol |

Yomii: The most ridiculous bride prize i have ever had in my life was #2 That was when my friends elder sister got married to an Igbo Man. Now that my brother want to marry an igbo lady, they told him to bring #500,000You know it that u just told lies just to discredit a tribe u hate. Can u tell me the place in Igboland where bp is 500k and also d place in yorubaland where bp is #2. In Igbo land, bride price in most places are not fixed, rather d suitor is asked to pay whatever he wishes. In some other parts, it's fixed but very very minimal. It cud be 2k, 5k or 10k. 1 Like |
