Today, a friend of mine invited me to the traditional marriage ceremony of his brother in-law......

After travelling for over 2hours via my keke, so we finally got to our destination.

After exchanging pleasantries, kola nuts and other traditional rites were done,then it was left for the main dowry which was #2000.
It was then the bigger problem came because the groom's family didn't come with cash. They insisted on doing transfer but the bride's family insisted on it, saying it must be paid with cash. My


If you try this in my family, you must return to pay that bride price another day. Mentioning transfer is enough insult for the day already

See how someone up there with the "F" moniker already looking down at the Op because he made mention that he went to the traditional marriage with his Keke.

Do you know what it means for a man to swallow his pride and ego to say that he went to a traditional marriage with his Keke or do you know what it means for a man to say that he's involved in Keke hustlings, it takes alot for a man to say it. You no go understand.

See the way she's looking down on him already with disgust and funnily enough na her type this yahoo boys dey like use to renew their cashflow grin grin


Op may God continue to guide and protect and provide for you and your precious Keke.

I wish thee well.

The physical cash has its significance.

It has no significance.

Tell me, which one you will choose between physical ₦2000 and a cheque of ₦20000?

Omoh, the whole thing became funny grin. The bride's elder brother kept insisting on it until a POS attendant was invited into the situation.The dowry's money was later withdrawn and paid in cash.

Now, my question is, is it right to pay Bride price via transfer considering the new currency policy that's affecting everyone at this moment? Or the groom's family could have withdrawn the money and kept it until the D-day while it was crystal clear it could have expired due to the deadline of the naira swap?

How were they expecting to pay dowry online.
It is not acceptable and cannot be.
They mean that for the period they were planning to come, they never made provision for 2k dowry in cash.
That is silly.

It is obvious that the Bride's family have suffered in the bank recently.

They rather have cash than going to queue in the bank of pay 10% on POS charges.

The groom family should have come with their cash. But did the POS give old or new notes?
Some issues don't meant to be a joke , how can a reasonable human being pay dowry through transfer? The guy and his family are useless

It is common sense that the bride price is presented physically. I am sure you saw the money change hands, probably from him, to his father, to the eldest man in her family and to her own father. Everyone would see it live and agree it was paid. These are rituals that a transfer doesn’t help.

The father might keep it somewhere safely, because some of them DO NOT spend it. Any day yawa starts, he would bring it out from his old box.

What is N2000 that a serious minded man who knew he would be getting married since 2018 couldn’t get? Among his ENTOURAGE, no single person had N2000? Collectively they also couldn’t raise N2000? What a set…

Was there any elder in their midst? This is why you younglings should go close to your elders/parents. Watch African Magic, you say it is local. Now you are acting like aliens at a trad. There are things you don’t learn from American feem and South Korean soaps.
You said it all , they're not serious at all

The problem with nigeria is that the so called "culture" is just a mish mash of nonsense with inshalla vibes.
Where in yoruba land did they find paper money? If they really wanted tradition followed, cowries should have been requested. Nonsense.
