xin5: Stop telling nonsense lies. In Urhobo culture, it's the girl's family that cooks the ogwoevwri. And there's no palmwine in Urhobo weddings. Gogoro, yes not palmwine. 1 Like |

xin5: Like when my father's sister got married, her bride price 1000 or 10000 can't really remember. Although, my dad was not really informed as many were saying that that amount would have translated into 100000 as of the year of doing the marriage. But remember, you'll still have to pay for mother and father, compound people, buying of goat and all. You'll still need to spend considerable amount of money so, not totally cheap. |

What is this for God's sake! This is culture na... Culture is the way of a people. So, why suspect her culture just with this flimsy reason I'm from Delta State, Isoko speaking tribe and the bride price in my family is twenty-five Naira Only (N25). It hasn't changed This is where your education comes to play, do background check. Check for the family history, illness and things that matters. If her brother decides not to marry, that shouldn't even be your worries. Focus on your journey to family hood. If you like her, then marry her, if not, let her go... No need to be with a lady you don't see a future with. By so doing, you're also delaying your time to settle down 3 Likes |

Next time, try and do findings. Not everything you bring to social media because some of them will come back for you. That is the exact amount my sister's husband paid and we gave him 20 back. That is the amount the Urhobo in delta state charge for there bride pride. Urhobo Marriage is the cheapest in Nigeria. |

xin5: I experienced a traditional engagement where they requested for N100 as bride price... However, they billed my guy for other things for the elder and family in the ladies community... Same thing that they can later do a big wedding if they desire later. She's from Abia and the friend is Yoruba. I was there live |

She’s most likely correct, bride price in most part of the south is always around that amount, but before they will accept that money from you, both families will have to fix a date and time, and before they will do that, you will have to go see her father and mother people to tell them of your intentions and invite them, and as you or may not know, dem nor dey carry empty hand go invite elders, secondly, the father or senior man in the family will give you a list of things to be done before that said “#120” will be accepted and I presume you have an idea of what goes on that list. So that’s a summary of what to expect. 1 Like |

What sort of men are we breeding these days sef? You wan marry woman, no be to tell your family your intention and let them go find out themselves if it's what you can go ahead with you do and if otherwise you do another one And FYI bride price is not same as marriage list, bride price is a small portion of the list And tbh, marriage is not for kids, you need to still grow first before thinking of marriage 3 Likes |

PrinceofSarcasm:This one has been brainwashed by white. What's the correlation between marriage and English language? Are you aware that the president of China does not speak English? So English language has now become the yardstick to measure everything? You need a paradigm shift in your mindset. 3 Likes |

It's not a scam Bro But that maybe for the dowry, you might be required to provide other little items to complete the full bride price payment which in total may not be much. There is bitter cola, there is bottle of wine and other items, Just go and do underground work to know |
