Most of us are not really getting the topic right. It says what's the most ridiculous bride price u have ever heard. Now we have started dishing out everything needed to carry out a marriage, eg lists that follows a bride price and sum everything like the cost of transportation to the bride village, canopies, chairs, food, cloth, even money for fuel in your car etc up to 1m-5m. I just collected 2k as bride price from an inlaw last weekend just becos my kinsmen insisted and 90k for the other things. And the young man was so grateful. It was 90k because I don't want to look like I am going against the laws of the land. Pls parents, help the young men like us cos this lists are scary. And it making us look irresponsible.. |

am from imo state and i can tell you that our bride price is not the way most guys here are painting it. it depends on the place.say like mbaise, owerri and mbano ppl. these are the only community that collect outrageous bride price from their in laws and even at the it still depends on the type of family the girl came from.if the family is the greedy type then be ready to pay everything.so pls before you post anything better get your facts right. 1 Like |

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.

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 ?HOPE SEY HIM COLLECT RECEIPT FOR D BRIDE PRICE?? |

N10.00 for Urhobo dowry? Are you kidding me? Raise your hand if you're married to an Urhobo woman cos I am & I paid 5k as dowry & the list thick well well. I dunno about Esan people but my people (AZ in Imo State to be precise) take N25.25k as dowry & the list can be monetized with less than 100k. I've also heard about ridiculous dowry from other parts of my state. |

cheap ibo gal,bride price proves that ,the gals leaves her maiden name & ans urs. So giving out ur daughter's hand in marriage for #20 shows how cheap & unlearned she might be.

Twenty five naira in Edoland(Binis) and both families spend to carry out the marriage ceremony. You could put down one million naira but the bride's family representative will take out only twenty five naira. If you do not have change they will look for. |
