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 ?

Lilimax:
Pure lie. Anambra's bride price is not expensive. Get your facts right.
It is the Imo people that theirs is on the high side I think?

Akshow: Mine is not really a bride price but it was ridiculous all the same. It was when my friend got married. I dont actually know the bride price my friend paid but after that, the girl's father demanded a hundred crate of beer. It wasn't only ridiculous, it was freakin hilarious and annoying at same time. Another one i experienced was that after all the traditional engagement and bride price, the father of the bride refuse to release his daughter on the wedding day insisting they must pay him additional 100k I'm like Whatdaphuck! Its your daughter's wedding not a wind fall. Come see as the bride mama and sister of the bride de beg this stubborn mule. The man kalla collect the money o.

Evestar200: @yomi,,igbo marriage bride price cost die mosly imo igbos

timpaker:
Mbaise bride price na die!!!! U pay higher if d bride is graduate and u pay highest if she is a medical doctor or a pharmacist...
I and my friend ran away... Finally, Tiv (benue state is cheaper) lured us over with just 10k. Can u beat that? Na dia I dey target now but work no go gree persin. Mtcheeew!

jeddyMay: In my family(Isoko Peeps), we usually return the bride price, take Say 100 or less to d oldest in our clan(if the wedding was not done in our home town or if the oldest person is nt in attendance) as a sign that their daughter was actually married properly.

myOGAonTOP: somewhere in Imo State (no kidding):
400 iron buckets
600 yam tubers
2.3 million
21 pieces of wax wrapper
14 pieces of hollandis
20 cartons of green soap, cream and face powder
4 cartons of hot drinks
?? Cartons of beer, malt and mineral (cant remember the exact number. It was in the second list)
1 Calabash of kolanut
3 jars of alligator pepper
28 yards of lace
shoes, bags , jewelleries, scarves for mama
lion head shirt, cap, staff and shoes for papa
etc. This was for the first list.

We (and the girl's siblings) protested but the groom told us to chill. He was like he was going to use his savings and settle up for everything . He paid for EVERYTHING on those two lists and took his bride home. He warned the in-laws never to call him or step into his house. That was it. The guy never told anyone bout his job at agip until we came for his house warming party.
I dont know what most communities think a bride price is. Is it a sale of a commodity or an alliance with another family?

Fussbot: ha!almost 4m??*i have died*

goldfish80: I think its between Ngwa(Abia) and Mbaise(Imo)
In Mbaise they will offer you one of brides younger siblings to train from whatever level they are,to university level,after sucking your pocket dry from all long list of quite frankly Id.iotic demands.
Ngwa comes a distant 2nd,last time an uncle went to marry there,they demanded a laptop and a modem in addition to a 'ladies motorcycle' for the brides mum.crazie

As in so expensive as if the babe go they grow money for house after marriage

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.

Esan people even return the bride price money to the groom's people after the marriage because they do not sell their girls.
