When Aliko Dangote's daughter married, her bride price was ₦500,000. Please fact-check me. And the wedding ceremony itself was modest and respectable and demonstrated the moderation that can only come from a highly developed culture.

You are going to marry a woman whose parents live in an uncompleted building in a village, and they are asking you to bring ₦3,000,000 and fulfil a long list of demands as bride price? Reason the matter, my friend.

As a man, if you are getting married anywhere in Africa, and your in-laws are demanding drinks like Martell VSOP and XO, designer wear, foreign exchange and expensive jewellery, just know that that is not a customary or traditional marriage. That is modern-day extortion by criminally minded people, and it is in your best interest to rethink that marriage.

A broken engagement is better than being entrapped by heartless Industrial Money Obtainers. Whatever they are asking you to pay is just a down payment. If you marry that girl, they will squeeze the life out of you with their demands. If someone dies, you pay. Someone is born, you pay. When someone starts school, you must shake your body. You are not an in-law. You are an in-money, and you will not have harmony.

Our ancestors were not that greedy. And the items they are demanding from you are not African items. They are foreign. Mostly from Europe. And, therefore, could not have been part of any native law and custom. These are just opportunists trying to use you for poverty alleviation.

African bride price list should not be more than a reasonable amount of money, and then things like kola nut, livestock, palm oil and agricultural produce, and in the Ghana area, gold (because gold has always been abundant in precolonial Ghana).

Ask yourself this question. If truly the bride price in their custom is running into millions, how come the bride's parents live in a rented house or modest uncompleted building? They ought to be wealthy.

The truth is that the father married her mother with ₦5, and now they want you to marry their daughter with ₦3,000,000. To them, they are negotiating a business, not a marriage.

If this were a virgin, then perhaps ₦3,000,000 could be demanded. But ₦3,000,000 bride price for a girl that was disvirgined with urgent ₦2k? Tufiakwa!

Do not be too desperate to marry that you do not see the trap you are entering and the alternatives at your fingertips. You are a successful young man. Your type is rare. There are more beautiful young women than there are successful young men. Sit back. Take your time and marry where you will have peace, not where your in-laws want a piece of your wealth!

Seriously, is not fair now!

Why will a son of man be asked to bring things up to 3M in this present day Nigeria just because he wan marry una daughter?

Well, make people stop to dey turn their daughter to Poverty Alleviation opportunity ooo.

Bride price / dowry should be scrapped. Let people marry like the Americans.

Na who no get money dey complain about bride price o.
Young man forget marriage for now and hustle like your life depends on it (which it does), so you won't be taking advice from a man who can't afford a pair of shoes.

Women are of different class, and from different backgrounds, find the one that matches yours and in your financial capacity and live in peace, love is overrated.

Mr Money man. I hail you

This is right and indispensable to a fruitful union.😊

As much as I don't like this Guy, he is 100 percent correct.
Even if the girl na virgin, the bride price nor supposed reach one million not to talk of say she nor be virgin, wey dem use only sweet words or small indomie and eggs open her legs.

Table shaker

I think Reno should focus on matters like this and leave politics where he seems to be very clueless.

I totally agree with him on this.

I remember this amazing thread i created on this issue and i wish lalasticlala should take a closer look at it.

Reno Omokri has claimed that there was more to Bobrisky's prison sentence
Reno Omokri is a controversial social media influencer
Social media influencer Reno Omokri has advised bachelors in the country against paying exorbitantly for bride prices.
In a statement on X on Monday, Omokri lamented the exorbitant bills would-be grooms pay to their prospective in-laws to marry their daughter.


Omokri mentioned that it is alien to African culture for in-laws to demand “drinks like Martell VSOP and XO, designer wear, foreign exchange, and expensive jewelry” as part of items for the dowry.

Omokri noted that “when Aliko Dangote’s daughter married, her bride price was ₦500,000. Please fact-check me. And the wedding ceremony itself was modest and respectable, demonstrating the moderation that can only come from a highly developed culture.

“You are going to marry a woman whose parents live in an uncompleted building in a village, and they are asking you to bring ₦3,000,000 and fulfill a long list of demands as bride price? Reason the matter, my friend.”

“As a man, if you are getting married anywhere in Africa and your in-laws are demanding drinks like Martell VSOP and XO, designer wear, foreign exchange, and expensive jewelry, just know that that is not a customary or traditional marriage,” he added.

Describing it as “modern-day extortion by criminally minded people,” the social media influencer advised, “It is in your best interest to rethink that marriage.”

“A broken engagement is better than being entrapped by heartless industrial money-seekers. Whatever they are asking you to pay is just a down payment.

“If you marry that girl, they will squeeze the life out of you with their demands. If someone dies, you pay. Someone is born; you pay.


“When someone starts school, you must shake your body. You are not an in-law. You are an in-money person, and you will not have harmony,” he added.

Arguing that high bride prices are alien to African culture, Omokri added that “the African bride price list should not be more than a reasonable amount of money.”

“Our ancestors were not that greedy. And the items they are demanding from you are not African. They are foreign. Mostly from Europe. And, therefore, it could not have been part of any native law or custom. These are just opportunists trying to use you for poverty alleviation.


“The African bride price list should not be more than a reasonable amount of money, and then things like kola nuts, livestock, palm oil, agricultural produce, and in the Ghana area, gold (because gold has always been abundant in precolonial Ghana).

“Ask yourself this question. If truly the bride’s price in their custom is running into millions, how come the bride’s parents live in a rented house or modest, uncompleted building? They ought to be wealthy.

“The truth is that the father married her mother with ₦5, and now they want you to marry their daughter with ₦3,000,000. To them, they are negotiating a business, not a marriage,” Omokri wrote.

Urging men not to pay such fees for already disvirgined girls, the social media influencer, however, mentions that, “If this were a virgin, then perhaps ₦3,000,000 could be demanded. But ₦3,000,000 bride price for a girl that was disvirgined with urgent ₦2k? Tufiakwa!”

The former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan urged men not to “be so desperate to marry that you do not see the trap you are entering and the alternatives at your fingertips. You are a successful young man. Your type is rare.”

Omokri, the self-acclaimed table shaker added that “there are more beautiful young women than there are successful young men. Sit back. Take your time and marry where you will have peace, not where your in-laws want a piece of your wealth.”

I cannot even pay chichi on non virgin, I wonder how people marry OLOSHO...

You must pay oo. You can't keep disvirgin our girls and not pay big

Old goat.

Maybe after the trash he wrote up there, he'll suggest that women pay dowry for men for useless reason he will make up.

Men marrying more than one wife is our tradition but he wants to bargain paying of bride price.

I don't even care about bride price but Reno is not someone we should listen to on this matter.

He will keep fooling around on the internet until he gets that appointment he desperately needs from Tinubu.

Feminist don't like this topic

This is very correct. Most broke girls always feel they can manipulate men for marriage. Thank God men are waking up soon it will be no Virgin no marriage. If you're non virgin just consider yourself as baby mama. Because you can't eat your cake and have it
