I am Igbo, from Enugu State, In my town, Bride Price can't be more than 10k. In fact in my own settlement, most kindred do not take more than 200 Naira as bride price. I mean 200 Naira.

OVA200:
Am not married but I won't exceed my budget of 500K
Call me poor if you want to.
Wifey will eat after wedding.

tellwisdom:


Traditional remains the one and only legal marriage for Nigeria as a local. No more, no less.

Mac12:



Lol, I'm already married

sweetrace:


Seriously? Because you stated it so emphatically does not make it true. Women have found out that they have no benefits under the traditional marriage. Which is why more and more women opt for the registry.

ValCon888:
Bride price of 10k?
She's certainly not an igbo girl.

*make una no flog me cane o.*

Transport fair from PH 20k fueling
Hotel for family n friends 80k
In fact, I don forget but I no spend pass 300k

franchasng:
Lolz comments oh.

The issue is not the money, the money isn't much, just that inflation of Naira made it seem big, all thanks to Buhari the recession bringer

This is less than $8,000.

During Goodluck time, if u had spent this amount, in fact, your wedding would be listed on Forbes, but no, Yoruba people out of tribal bigotry and hatred said Goodluck is the worst President that destroyed Nigeria, while Buhari is the Messiah, well-done Yoruba people

Topshow4real:

I just stumbled on my marriage note where I wrote down all my expenses while I prepared for my marriage and decided to share. This topic is to guide those planning for their wedding on how much on the average they should budget for their marriage. Although the amount you will spend depends on what you want and the tribe/family you are marrying into. I actually budgeted N1,200,000 (1.2 million) but ended up spending close to 2million.

I got married November 2018 to my beautiful esan girlfriend of 4 years. Here is the breakdown:

Pre-wedding
1. Lab test for HIV, Genotype and pregnancy (as instructed by the church) - N5000
2. Transportation to take her to see my parents - N10,000
3. Ring 18 karat gold (engagement, and wedding rings) - N75,000 (from aboki)
4. Wedding certificate - N4000
5. Wedding seminar organized by my church - N4000
