Top 10 Most Expensive Women To Fall In Love With - True Or False? by girlfromafrica: 5:31pm On Aug 20, 2016 |
How expensive is marriage in Nigeria? The cost of weddings in Nigeria range from the dowry requested for by bride’s family and community, to the traditional items requested to be presented before the wedding ceremonies can take place. Getting married in some parts of Nigeria can tempt a young men into robbing a bank, especially if he doesn’t have a good job or a viable source of income. Hence many men tend to get married late because they want to make all the money they can before they attempt fulfilling any marriage rites. Here are some of the most expensive wedding cultures in Nigeria: The Mbaise People of Imo State The Mbaise people are found in Imo state part of Nigeria and they occupy three local government areas in Imo State (Aboh Mbaise, Ahiazu Mbaise and Ezinihitte Mbaise). The major cities of Mbaise people are Ezi na ihite, Ahiara. Agbaaja, Oke Uvuru. The Mbaise people are known for their quest for higher education, hence the large numbers of graduates and professionals amongst them. The Mbaise culture is amongst the most expensive cultures to marry from in Nigeria because of the numerous components that make up their traditional marriage list. As a matter of fact, the more educated the bride is, the more expensive the marriage list becomes. For you to marry in Mbaise and be applauded, you have to spend N350, 000 up wards. Some families are considerate and will not ask for everything. They may tell the groom to settle the kindred, because if he has to do everything, he might need up to N500, 000. The Annang People of Akwa Ibom State The Annang people are found in Akwa Ibom state and they are the second largest ethnic group in Akwa Ibom state. Any groom who intends taking a bride from the Annang people must be ready to meet fulfill the traditional marriage rites of the people and it is indeed expensive because of the loads of stuff and fees that the groom is expected to buy and pay for. Personally, I have read the marriage list and it is almost 4 pages long. The cost could be about 500,000 to 700,000 Naira. Ikwerre People of Rivers State The Ikwerre people of Rivers State also have very expensive marriage rites, and this is largely because they believe their daughters have been raised with pains and dedication and any man that would have them must pay suitably for them. The dowry and items listed for marriage ceremonies may cost up to N1 million before a family concert to a man marrying their daughter. Ibibio People of Akwa-Ibom State The people of the Ibibio ethnic tribe of Akwa-Ibom State are predominantly agriculturalists, and their daughters are raised to be strong and self-sustaining. Marrying from this tribe can be very expensive because their daughters are believed to have been groomed to support a man and help him raise a family. A man should be ready to spend upwards of N700,000 before a marriage date is fixed among the Ibibios. The bride price is sometimes, non-negotiable. I in fact happened to witness a traditional wedding of one of my uncle getting married to an Ibibio lady, just because he didn’t buy all what was stated in the list, the wedding was cancelled. It was an embarrassing experience. Ngwo People of Enugu State A man who wants to marry from the Ngwo people of Enugu State must demonstrate that he is able to fully take care of his wife by meeting the exorbitant ceremonies required for the wedding to take place. The man is given a long list of items to buy or provide for the family of the bride and for the wedding before he is allowed to marry their daughter. Bororos of Northern Nigeria The Bororos of northern Nigeria look identical to the Fulanis in several aspects and they have several similar cultures. It is believed both the Bororos and the Fulanis require several live cows that could even constitute a herd before releasing their daughters for marriage. They may request for between 10 to 50 live cows, depending on the ability and wealth of the suitor, before a wedding ceremony can take place. With the dollar rate as 2016, I leave you to do the maths. SEE MORE @ https://idonsabi.com/2016/08/20/top-10-most-expensive-bride-price-in-nigeria/ True or False? 1 Like 1 Share |

So true about the Ibibios and Annangs of Akwa Ibom State. Witnessed one early this year, infact na d community the marry out the girl, no be her papa. Community go give U list, U go buy Ogogoro for drunkards, football for youth, Cigar for smokers, settle the women and men of the community. Funny thing is, the parents of the bride don't have much say in the marriage rite. One of the reason why most of their girls are single, roaming the street and Doing prostitution. 1 Like |

Acepen:Well Africa still has one of the lowest divorce rates so maybe the bride price does guarantee faithfulness |
Re: Top 10 Most Expensive Women To Fall In Love With - True Or False? by Nobody: 10:02am On Aug 22, 2016 |
girlfromafrica:having low divorce rates does not mean they are happy in the marriages . Women really have no rights in Nigeria . most breadwinners are the husband ,so the woman has no choice. |
Re: Top 10 Most Expensive Women To Fall In Love With - True Or False? by girlfromafrica: 10:06am On Aug 22, 2016 |
ackman004: There is no one place where people are generally "happy" in marriage...moreover, if happiness in marriage was dependent on a woman's independence, Europeans would be the world's marriage role model...sadly, that's not the case. |

lawnreigh: Thumbs Up!... when a guy starts speaking long grammar on top of brideprice, you seh e go speak grammar for the marriage. I know some bride-price (es) are expensive but if you love your woman, you'd find a way instead of blaming her and her ancestors |

Re: Top 10 Most Expensive Women To Fall In Love With - True Or False? by Acepen(m): 10:21pm On Aug 22, 2016 |
girlfromafrica:i think why africa has low divorce rate is that many are not enlightened about it,and also religious factors.i have seen many situations where the wife is sent packing or the husband abandons the wife.africans do break up, but not necessarily through legal divorce.so the bottom line is bride price does not guarranty faithfullness in marriages |
