I have only one word to say "WTF?" [/color][/font]

Yomii: The most ridiculous bride prize i have ever had in my life was #2 That was when my friends elder sister got married to an Igbo Man. Now that my brother want to marry an igbo lady, they told him to bring #500,000

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

Itulah: The most shock and annoying bride price is that of Imo State, which a friend went and they ask him to pay #5million and he was begging them with 2million

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 ?

Janiobi: Come Anambra cime marry naa, U go over pay like CAPITAL LETTER MAD MAN. That place naa business zone.
No money

I have only one word to say "WTF?"

Lilimax:
This list differs from town to town.
Which town has this list?

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

Truckpusher: Most at times the girls father and mother wouldn't demand for this stuffs you know ,it's usually those village cousins and uncles that makes matters worse and woe betides one's dad if he makes any move to stop them

yes, the kinsmen no dey help matter for men like us

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.

Ola Johnson:
If I may ask, what is so special about this girl? The family must be suffering from poverty especially that of the mind.

50calibre:

Yeah maybe where you come from, it's not THAT high but it's high. Maybe other places in IMO charge 3-5 mill your place charges 2 mil

Trust me I have an uncle who married from mbaise, he spend nothing less than 4 mill
