As far as the bride price is concerned in Nigeria, the Yoruba list remains the cheapest.

Attached in this article is the bride price list that my girlfriend's family gave me for marrying their daughter let me shock you, I still divide some of those items into two.

Note:
1. almost all the items here are general items that will be requested in any part of Yorubaland

2. Some may add one or two things to it, e.g., live goat or chicken.

3. The quantity of each item may be more or less but I can bet you that it won't be outrageous.

4. The bride's father writes the list not the community but if he likes, he may ask for the input of his elderly ones preferably his elder brother (or sister).

The input most time is for the first daughter. After that, the remaining daughter's is a photocopy.

5. It is negotiable.

6. Except for the monetary materials, all other bride price materials will be shared equally by the bride's father and mother and some portion send to both grandparents' families.

7. Any family in Yoruba that gave you a bride price worth 300k should be reported to their religious leaders for greediness and covetousness.

Correct.

It is marriage between 2 growing adults usually, and not occasion for poverty alleviation for the families and neighbors.

This is an authentic Yoruba marriage rite list given to the groom's family. That dowry will be returned officially to prove that they are not selling their daughter and not in debt in the event the groom's family fail to keep their word to take care of their bride.

Yoruba haters will pretends they didn't read this... Hahaha
They are already having high BP on Yoruba matter. All they know how to do is frustrate someone son that wants to marry their daughter, sister,aunty, neighbor. Hahaha


Edit:
Some specific people are crying in my mentions. I never mention any tribes name. I only referred to Yoruba haters and the fact that Yoruba don't sell their daughter.
I said what I said so y'all haters keep wailing for eternity

Make the list costly and see your daughters remain at home no be us them the do na their selves any tribe that want to put 1b price tag put na to see who go come marry be the thing so marriage no be my problem na when naija go better the worry me

This is true.

The list my family issued for those who came to marry my sisters and cousins are a bit lesser than this.

The list I paid my in-law is actually lesser than this.


Bride price is not a family enrichment project.

The good side of this is that Yoruba women are always assertive in their husband's house.

You can't cheat them there and you'd go free like that. The bad side is that some of them without self control may easily fight and pack out of their husband's house.

I think among the three tribes, Yoruba women are the most assertive in marriage and it's due to their understanding of how marriage is meant to be. You work, and I work to bring food to the table.

But they are usually very understanding and have little or no entitlement mentality. Best outlook ever.

They work hard and try to contribute to the the development of the home front.

Damnnn niggar
Isoright...


This niggar never see Bini own


Bini own is the cheapest

All these for her to come to my house and wreck me with undiluted pepper

Good bush meat?!! Inukwa! And some are here talking about animal rights

We are not greedy and selfish like a typical flatskull. However, I will disown any of my family that dates a Flartron.

drizslim:

This is an age-long exaggeration.

True, Yorubas eat pepper but it's not as spicy as other tribes tout it to be.

In Rivers state, their Asun is always garnished with plenty pepper and people there eat it like it's normal. Me wey be Yoruba boy, I have to take it home and rinse the meat with water before I can eat it. To eat ordinary rice and stew here sef na war, person go dey sweat under AC.

Funny enough, these same guys go dey yab my tribe say we like pepper. I'm like, are you normal?

So, I disagree with your comment.

We don't sell our women here in Yorubaland.
