I learnt that some tribes ask for as much as a cow, loads of yam and other expensive stuff for them to give their daughters out in marriage. What can you not pay as bride price? |

A guy shd just pay whatever he's comfortable with. As far as I'm concerned, nothing is too much or too small! The money or whatever he's bringing is not important. |

It depends on the tribe and bride's family. Yoruba people don't really concern themselves too much with bride price as I can recall. But in the eastern part of Nigeria, bride price is big deal. They may charge an arm and a leg. Just be prepared. I was lucky, my wife's family weren't into all that. They only took some yam, palm oil etc. The money was less than N5000. It was quite cheap. Lucky me, innit? |

Heard dat some Yoruba babes misbehave and threaten to pack home owing to d fact dat not much was paid as bride price for them. How true? |

That process should be abolished. Nobody should pay for marrying anybody!!! |

Before people continue posting on such an issue as this, I urge you all to first go and ask your respective tribesman for the traditional name of bride price. |

its tradition shouldnt be abolished |

it's not up to how much the man love the lady, it's up to the man's income |

Any amount that will make you broke n bankcrupt for the better part of your married life, making you regret and hate the institution called marriage. |

there is nothing u cannot pay if u already know where u are going and the culture of the place. Even b4 it gets to that, u wld have discussed with ur girl to find out what it is like with her culture and if really love her and want her at all cost, u wld not mind even the several strokes of cain. |

sayso: That is the spirit. No family will refuse to give u their daughter because of bride pride, as long as they see u 2 love urselves. The thing is diplomacy, don't try boosting ur ego by trying to do evry of their demands. |

Mr Poster are u a Nigeria or where have u been? Becuase this should not sound strange to you and beside I dont think any body is going to force you to buy what you dont have money to buy in the name of bride price. I agree it is not all that a good idea paying any bride price but nothing can anybody do about it, it is all about applying diplomacy and wisdom. |
