A girl I am currently seeing is telling me the cost of her bride price is #120 that once I pay that..20 naira will even be handed back to me because she is not for sale. I asked her if that's all for the traditional marriage.. she said from there if we want to do big ceremony it's our choice. I think I am about to be scammed into marriage, something I might regret in the long run.. and I still wonder why her elder brother is still single (in his 40s) if marriage is cheap over there.

I wouldn't want a case whereby after doing that I will be presented an unexpected list of things to provide.

She's from the south.
I want confirmation if this is true

What exactly is the reason for your suspicion? Oya, pay ₦1,000,000 as the bride price.

A frnd told me I would be asked to cook oghwo and also palmwine and with this country like this. Small thing when de acct I de use hold myself.

It's true na but that does not mean you won't buy drinks and cook food for some that will attend.

And the only encouraging thing here is that Urhobo women don't cheat in marriage. It's a very big taboo, reason why most of their women comes with a very high mileage before marriage 😂😂

Haba

Most Urhobo families dont take huge amount as bride price. The bride price is mainly to fulfil traditional righteousness.

Hey chap Well that is for you. As for me, when i wanted to marry my yoruba woman, i paid N1.5million as bride price not that i have the money but because of the love i have for my wife. but when we broke up, i fought with her parents and they refunded the money. They even added N500k interest with it making it N2m.

I sincerely feel sorry for any lady who marries you. This thread betrays your level of reasoning and shows how insecure, immature , unreasonable and unstable you are.

Your choice of wording and structure shows you lack any integrity of character, hence see the low level your mind went to.

You even don't have respect for her or her family hence you had to drag her elder brother into your nonsense.

I feel you are a danger to that young lady and her family.

You are uncouth and have no sense of boundaries or decorum. I suspect you are d with street thugs or hooligans
As she would do well to avoid getting married to you at all costs or she may be a future murder victim.

Anyways for her to agree to even date talkless of marrying someone like you says a lot about her , she is probably a low level woman.

I would hazard a guess that she is either s treat hawker or a road side food vendor.
Likely she is an illiterate too?

Bride price differs to wedding expenses

Thank you for proving my point. I mean you are at the gutter level in life . You can't even speak proper English and yet you are talking about marriage?

Seems you want to raise more street urchins and fatherless touts who will grow up to add to the massive number of armed robbers everywhere?

Didn't you learn from your own terrible childhood?

You have no business talking about marriage.

Your write up, your history on this forum and everything shows you are a very low value man ,hence it makes me wonder what sort of street waif agreed to take.on such a worthless surname.

She must have been about to commit suicide and sees marriage to you are a lady resort. Because I can bodly tell you that no woman of substance or self worth will marry your type.

I wouldn't want a case after going on, one kind huge list will be handed to me to fufill that's why I am asking.

you mean the big party? But she said that's our choice.
Is it a must?

Just imagine this malformed semi ape of an OP.
This type should be on his knees praising his mongoloid ancestors that any woman has a low enough self esteem to marry him.

Just imagine this thing that is best collecting monies from buses at obalende motor park claiming he is being scammed into marriage?

Truly Nigerian women have lost a lot of value otherwise things like this are not meant to be married or procreate.

The universe is better off without allowing this type to have any offspring, they will only pollute the environment.
Anyways I blame the extreme poverty such a lady was raised with that has eroded her self esteem too the extent she considering marrying this epitome of life failure.

A tragedy indeed .

If anyone is being scammed she is. Because she thinks she is marrying a semi retardéd with some braincells ,but unfortunately she doesn't know she is getting a full rétard with zero brain cells .

If you don't have any good plans for her then let her go. Stop wasting people's time.

Everyone saying prepare for entertainment.
What if I can't afford that, just the bride price.

Besides thanks for the enlightenment

She must be from delta state. Its true. That's the bride price not the cost of the marriage or the other things that will be on your list but all in all, still pretty inexpensive if you have reasonable inlaws and if they live in lagos because then you will not need to travel down to her village for the wedding. Good luck.

Where in the south?

There are places like that. That doesn't mean there will be no other few list, but the actual bride price is as low as that in some places.

And then you guys can then organize a small traditional wedding.

Haven't you accompanied friends, family to their weddings..... Not all Nigerian tribes ask for ridiculous amount of money..

I don't even see why anyone will be stressing a young man that just wants to start life with his daughter... But I guess u pple call it tradition

U can look for a tribe that will ask u for 3million.....

xin5:

But she say na #120 na

Some tribes don't collect anything.... They will tell u the dowry is at ur discretion i.e what u think she's worth to you....
and when u pay it..no matter the amount...the father will return it to you saying you should take care of her as no amount can be enough if he wants to charge a price

But u go still buy yam, fruits, malt and all those things....
