Please I need your enlightenment about how Ibibio conduct their wedding preparations.
I want to marry an Ibibio girl but she does not know how they conduct their wedding ceremony and how much it might cost, she grew up outside of Akwa Ibom.
I need your help because I want to have a rough estimate about their wedding procedures first before I start. I especially need help on:
- How much is their bride price
- If I pay the bride price, Will I still have to pay for organising the traditional marriage again?
- How much is the price range for the payments?
Thanks in advance.
And please do not tell me to check online because I have done that but could get what I want exactly.

So she doesn't have parents or family elders that she can go and consult? Abi everything must come from Nairaland..
Or are yoi not going to get information from her people before going there?
Ok let me list it out..

A cow
An ostrich egg
10 pieces of red clothes
I pigeon
A kolanut
And 3 native fowls..

Why are people so childish on Nairaland? In what way have you help now?
If she could have access to the information, must I ask?
I do not post on Culture section, hence, If I ask, it is for a reason.

what is childish here is asking for traditional ways of marriage culture of a region which you are fully aware that culture varies and that the best way to get the accurate information is to reach her people and family especially as they may have their way of performing marriage rites. So you already know that people are so childish on Nairaland here and still went ahead to ask your questions.. erm!! I wonder the kind of answer you expect to get from childish people here. Google is your friend not Nairalanders. By the way i apologize for my initial post.
Oya Nairalanders, over to you, help my friend here to get answers.
