Can any Yoruba person tell me what is the brideprice if you want to marry a Yoruba girl?
Re: Brideprice by ikamefa(f): 1:36am On Apr 30, 2008
it depends on the family the girl comes from

there is no set price in yoruba land

some families won't even take any money from the husband/guys family

some pple are stans of the western culture. i wonder why anyone in his or her right senses would equate 'price bride' as selling a piece of meat in the market. i just dont get it.

oh please, some people sell their wives for financial gain while others do it as a ceremonial thing. in reality, money is hardly exchanged. what is exchanged is usually stuff like malt drink(memories), yams, rice and other goods.
