Is the bride price a sell out price for your daughter?
Are you training her for your selfish reason or for her benefit?
So if Dangote comes to marry your daughter with 20k bride price what happens?
How much your papa pay to marry your mama before dem manufacture a madcow?
It is not a sale price.. But if you work into a Man's house with a sign that says "car for sale" and find a 2017 Rolls Royce Phantom parked there, would you offer him 5 million Naira for it?

My Brother you can never pay for a woman, but don't insult her father by offering him money wey no reach the daily withdrawal limit for ATM. Have some respect.

Money ain't respect bro and the amount of bride price or used on wedding doesn't guarantee a marriage will last.
If I have a daughter the only duty she owes me is bringing home a man with prospect who can comfortably take care of his family. The least I care about is how much you are paying.

This is a very good news to the men of Benue state. I heard the average price to marry a Benue girl is roughly around 600K (how much more our dear igbo girls!) . Many guys will get married this year then. Okay, you can all start toasting dem babes like toast bread!!
that village is not even a good place to marry from... a lot of taboos.. eg,there's no pre-intimacy... I'm a living testimony

You are joining issues here.

Bro, if you are coming to marry my daughter, then come with something to show me (her father) that you value the effort I put into rasing her. If you bring me 100 Thousand, I will feel insulted and kick you out.. And if you say it's all you can afford then maybe you shouldn't be getting married just yet.

Listen you can't pay for a Woman. Basic school fees for a really good kindergarten today is Atleast 150,000 Naira - 500,000 Naira. A top secondary school in Nigeria goes from 500k - 2.5million per session. Better foreign University now na from 10,000 USD - 75,000 USD. Masters Degree for U.K easily 50,000 Pounds and above.

So you are not buying my daughter Sir.. But bring me something that cost you something. Bring me your father's only land if that is what she is worth to you. Sell one of your kidneys and bring me a bottle of the finest Whiskey you can find. Nothing says a marriage will last, this isn't about that.. This is purely about showing her father how much value you place on his effort.

In the Bible, somebody 'gba Nwaboy na bè ogor' (Served as a servant to his father in law) for 16 years to get the woman he loved.

100k is not for diamond. . Not even for sterling silver.

Intelligent group of people saving their people from unwanted agony. Unlike a group of people known for resorting to kidnapping,drug pushing, armed robbery and fake medicine production,this group has realised that marriage is a long term investment in the future, and everyone starts out humbly.

Note: I didn't mention any names,so don't let your conscience disturb you please

A man is worth 800 million and he comes for your daughter's hand in marriage then presents you 100k bride price.

Another man worth 5 Million comes for your daughter and presents you 2 million bride price....... My brother who will you pick as your in-law?

You are missing the point.

I didn't sent an amount. But if all you can afford is 100k, You shouldn't be thinking of marriage. You should be thinking of a better job or business.

People treat getting married like they treat building a house or buying a land. You plan for it.

No you re the one missing the point by thinking amount of bride price equates respect or how much a man values your daughter.

Let's agree to disagree then.. I will not entertain a discussion with anyone bringing me 100k as marriage budget for my Daughter in 2017 and beyond.

Thanks.

I'm idoma and I know how much it costs to marry a "western Idoma" girl. If this is coming from ogbadibo then it's good news. throughout my life I've only dated two idoma girls - both from this region, the first was.... as usual, them like money die, stingy and wayo wayo in nature, but no no no, do not bring in stereotype matter come hia biko cos the second is an extremely wonderful person....but the bride price thing is the problem. Abeg, I hope this news is true?

Oche I want to believe you are from Benue as your name implies however bride price in Otukpa is way out of it. If one is not careful you will never spend less than 600k to marry a lady from that district.
Little wonder their men go to other Idoma land cos price is relatively cheap compared to theirs.

Button line the law if implanted oooo would be a relief to many folks.
my cousin got married here in lagos last month nd the bride price that was taken was one thousand naira (1,000).
And that was because the cash her husband presented was in 1000 denominations.
Only one was taken nd the rest was returned back.
All the husband people were amazed nd shock cos i guess they hadn't witness dat b4.
Bottom line is, we only want u to take care of our daughter like u treat urs.
Accept nd welcome her into d family. That's the most important thing.
