Mixed reactions trail fixed bride price of N5000 and four basins of cooked butter beans for Eggon women in Nasarawa state

Mixed reactions have continued to trail the harmonised bride price of the people of Eggon ethnic group in Nasarawa State.

The Aren Eggon, HRH Justice Ahmed Ubangari Alaku (Rtd) pegged N5,000 as the bride price with four basins of traditional butter beans known as Ebyekpyen as the maximum requirements to be met by the groom in order to marry an Eggon lady.

Aren Eggon, who is the paramount ruler of the Eggon people worldwide, made the pronouncement on May 25, 2024, at his palace in Nassarawa Eggon Local Government Area.

The royal father explained that the action was in response to the outcry from many quarters, complaining about the exorbitant requirements often placed on young men intending to marry
Eggon ladies.

“We thank Almighty God for what has happened today about these two events; the issue of bride price in Eggon land and the little crises that have affected our growing children. These two issues have been pending for a long time and I am particularly happy that what has been bothering our local communities has come, particularly the issue of bride price in Eggon land. And I am sure you have seen the reaction from the crowd,"
he said.

"It is an issue that has been affecting the youth, both the female and male alike. You see them littering around because they cannot pay the dowries. So exorbitant. During our days, if I should
tell you how much I paid my father-in-law, you will be shocked

“And we don’t want these children to remain at home. Let them marry in good time so they can bring children in good time. It is not good to wait till when you are 50 (years old) before you get married and he starts producing children. By the time these children are growing, he is also getting older. The training will not be there. I think that is the essence of what we have done. Train these children in good time so they can become
good citizens.

“I told them I have done my own. What is left is for the parents of the children. If they go by this, the happier the lots of all of us. If they refuse it, the children will remain at home with them, which is the problem we are trying to avoid. I am now using this opportunity to call on to them to abide by this conventional agreement which has been reached this morning so that it becomes something for the good of Eggon land," the traditional ruler
added.

The presentation of the butter bean is very significant as it validates the marriage between the two couples.

The bride's family accepts or rejects the butter beans from the groom's family as a sign of their approval or disapproval of the marriage.
The butter bean is specially prepared with Beni seed and lots of palm oil that can be seen on the surface.

In a Facebook post on Friday, December 6, some people expressed their approval of the fixed bride price while others insisted that the requirements are still too high.

It's okay.

NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IS TOO MUCH FOR A BRIDE PRICE FOR AS LONG AS:

-The man can afford it
-The man is willing to pay it
- THE BRIDE-TO-BE IS A VIRGIN AND BEAUTIFUL.
Non-virgins aka olosho aka used product aka leftovers Don't deserve complete bride price.
Any man who pays full bride price on a non-virgin is an IRREDEEMABLE FOOL.
BECAUSE A BRIDE PRICE IS A PRICE YOU PAY ON A WOMAN WHO CAN PRIDE HERSELF... AND NOT A GIRL THAT HAS BEEN PASSED AROUND BY DIFFERENT MEN.
These are the basics.
Any other thing is a plus.

Bride price is a crime against humanity, humans are just pathetic creatures that tends to attached money to everything.
The only creation that's pays to survive on a planet nature given to all creation for free.

No other creature pays to eat, sleep, and procreate, except humans.
These pathetic creatures are selling lands they have no clue how the earth arrived here.


If 2 humans seen reasons to live together as partners, both parents should bless the union let them go their ways. Whoever introduced bride price was a retarded azzhole.

I will never sell matter daughter to no human... F*ck man made traditions

High bride price is one of the reasons why there's lower failed marriages in Igbo land.

You see all these guys wey dey demand one cup of salt and one cup palm oil as pride price, the men dey quick pursue their wives.
