that is true, but in my family we return N20 to the groom to take care of the wife and we will keep N5 as bride price

The Yorubas do not sell their kids to be married away.

Although, most parents will ask for a certain price on the list of things expected of the spouse; however, the bride price is later being returned to the husband-to-be. All what most Yoruba's parents care about is seeing their daughters being well-taken care of and happy in her matrimonial home, and not feeding fat on the money being paid as bride price on their daughter or taking advantage of the opportunity to get rich.

I wish the same could be said of some other Nigerian ethnicity, lol. cheesy

Just marry a cultured Yoruba girl and save yourself the agony of waiting several years of saving millions of naira in the name of buying a wife paying a bride price. smiley

Despite our religion/tribal differences, Nigerians still intermarry for the sake of love. So this thread is mainly for young men who are tired of being bachelors but are scared of THE LONG LIST grin (Igbo Kwenu!!!).

Although, what most people don't know is that the LIST they give you in the Southeast is very, very negotiable - it's not compulsory you buy every item on it, unless you wish to. The only thing you can't negotiate is the BRIDE PRICE, which is ridiculously cheap.
For instance, in my place, Umuchoke, Amaigbo, Imo State, the bride price is just N150 only. Please tell us yours.
