Okay i have a question.....i need guys opinion on this on this as well..married, non marrried, engaged what ever....if your a popsi i even want your opinion, the most...
How much is a suitable fee for bride price......£100?!?!??..i mean really how much could i possible give a man and say hi, i think your daughter is worth this much.....
Think of this after i have bought your expected ring that is worth 3months wages( After i spend that kind of money, if she should take off that ring....infact i will cut her whole hand off!!!....lol!! i am joking ...in a wired mood today)..then you have to pay bride price...untop that you still have wedding ring..this brings me back to a point
what does the guy get...and dont tell me he gets the woman...because that is not the answer i wanted.....i give valentine worth £300...you give me worth £90...nothing spoil
i give you engagment ring worth about £15,000( this figure was gotten from my projected earning in the future ,after tax) and you give me 1k ring....something is not right
Then i pay bride price (figure unkown)...do you pay anything for me.....NO.....this is unfair
Moreover wedding comes....i cash out(estimated figure: i dont even want to think about it) because she has had a dream of her wedding since she was small.....okay your wish is my command
Then i buy wedding ring...at least that one can be cheaper let us say £7,000 or even cheaper gon...£5,000...you give me some basic ring, if possible it might even be from tesco value....have you seen the wedding rings most guys have, it is very basic...infact it is soo basic that i am sure if i wrap yellow lucozade nylon around a silver top shop £5 ring..it would look very similar...okay back to reality, let us say she spends £700.
back to bride price....
$40,000...maybe...i think not...if i payed 40k for a babe infact...i will first acquire a certificate of purchase and then anytime her family members come and give me wahala...i will just point to my proof of purchase , {which will be blown up to A1 size, laminated in a gold frame, lined with diamonds } and tell them to gerrout of my house, then i will imprint my name in new romans time font, size 16 across her shoulders or around the cleavage area, so that if any man is looking, they will knw who's property.....hiisssss!!!
I thought love was meant to be free, or "love dont cost a thing"...so far the process of showing love is very expensive oo, and all i am talking about are single items ooooo, ring ati bride price.....
I always imagined love to be some warm feeling where everything made sense and always makes you happy, ahhhh i dont think it is oooo...infact it is nothing like it....because we havn t talked about wedding , house and honey mooon...
I am joking oo...i will never do such( concerning the bride price)...well maybe at $80,000....i would!!!
Girls how much do you think your worth?
This is not i feel ooo, this is just stress from library all day

1st!!!...always wanted to do that, to see wat the appeal is!
but dude if you love her ul be ready to drop all that..heck if im gonna drop £100k for an aston martin...i might as well drop £40k for the wife....afterall i get to RIDE her longer...and she's even gonna give me kids!..lol
In the real sense mate, the bride's parents dont take bride price anymore...they should tell you to use that money in settling their daughter into a fine home..
Besides..if she's the one you want to spend the rest of your life with.. that would be priceless!!
wait sherfield did you just compare a babe to an 08 reg aston martin.....no, i will not accept that...the aston martin is priceless, the aston martin is a class on it's own...it is an experience, it is a religion...it is a way of life...but i see where your coming from but i have a question...
does my wife come with unlimited milage in the 1st 5 years...no
when there neeeds to be an oil change, the car let's me know...i dont have to beg it to tell me when there is something wrong....
does a mechanice come and fix my wife at my house when servicing is due or do they give me a replacement and updated version of my wife....nope!
so why are you comparing my wife to my aston martin...if it was possible i would have kids, i will actualy be pregnant for my aston martin....i dont even need sex...i will just go to my aston aka "hera"
and rev the enginge....
mr sherfield...i will come back when i am abit more serious to comment...
she does not even come with free rac cover , incase she breaks down....

Dats funny you say Igbo people still take money 'cuz I'm Igbo so what should I ask for??? Hmmmm *Huge Grin*
I think it's a bit unfair to be honest but I must agree I do have that dream wedding (not really from youth though, I was a bit of a tom boy so I'm a late planner), dream ring, never really get as far as planning honey moon you know. I just know my reception is going to be fun!!! Yup! Oh and let's not even get started on my house expectations...
@ms cocoa- yes i wrote those things knowing fully well that you will be here to see it and yes you can do all those things you want to do to me...lol! apart from the tatoo
i dont mind the sleepless nights, if i am up all night thinking about you...lol!!..i am cracking myself up here
but i do i have a point...i will never look at my aston martin and be like, ooooooo this car is stressing me and to be honest i cant exactly say that for my wife and my aston martin will not keep me after church when she is tying gele and gisting with her friends..
look dont ever compare my aston martin to my wife...because you know which one i will pick...
Hmm...bride price. Where do they still demand that? I thot it was abolished a while ago. Well I cant help you here o. I dont need my man to pay bride price to slip a ring in my finger and say I do and am sure my family will never demand on. I once met a guy who said he was gonna marry this Igbo chick he had been dating for 4 years until her parents asked him to cough out £20k. He negotiated for £15k but the man no gree, that was the end of the road for them. Me thinks that is quite sad and this happened in London o, no be nija. Dem talk say the chick na first born therefore she suppose marry igbo man or the guy must pay £20k.
can you see...thank you o jare...parakeet
if i should pay 20k...haaaaaa...infact 1st of all those inlaws are never coming to my house to start with...secondly, after trying to negotiate..they still tell me to pay the price...they will never see their daughter again....because i will get a reciept this time..no joke...because she is mine...and how fine was the babe that your telling me to pay £20k
oh one question......do you think they will accept installment or direct debit for bride price?..lol!
so..this post is extremely random and long winded!lol..i didnt think it was up to the guy to determine the bride price..but wat do i know about marriage.so..2 posts later..y havnt we talked..r maybe we have..ur such an alarmist! ps-if u understand wat u just posted..u have to understand this comment! oya facebook!
but i know who u are...and were friends on fcebk!lol
If you truly love your wife then those thoughts wouldn't even run through your mind.Doesn't mean you should spend money senselessly either!
I am priceless because in uniquely & wonderfully made by God. There is no one else like me in this world.lol
i'm**
oh my! Mr sherfield, you're funny...i like the way you are thiinking about the yield from your investment...lol!!
The bride price thing doesnt happen anymore... does it? I know you have gifts and stuvvs but the whole payment thing??Would you do a wire transfer or what?lol!
My father has not and will not accept- it is not only insulting but a nono in our tradition- what we do is provide things for the wife to be settled into her new life (nothing like condoms sha...lol- not that kind of preparation)
Tin tin, so who is she? the ring should cost no less than £20k FYI!! lol and the wedding is with 2 people and the two people should pay for it!lol! I think its more a nice gesture to pay but id rather they brought gifts of many sorts for the bride than money- God has blessed us above all our expectations!
Try having a conversation with your AM08!! all youll get back is VRRRROOOMMM!!lol-company and conversation is priceless!
@ vindication through innocence- LOL! Darlz you seriously crack me up!
Tin-Tin...u are so intellectually sexy its offensive...wow!!!..anywayz on the issue of bride price..am happy where am from they dont take it nomore!!!...plus my dad is very against it. lucky future hubby of mine because I am worth nothing money can buy...LOOOOOOL..
ok..i cant b bothered to comment twice..so about the other post..how do u come up with such a spew of rubbish! yes i said it! rubbish!lol..as in human beings are predictable by the very fact that they are human beings..nigerian girls will always be nigerian girls..its their nature..to devise some kind of 'behaviour code'..thats kind of..silly..but guys are just as predictable i think..even more so..
bride price? lol..id just free cos u said that stuff about being in the library and i get that..
(just my opinion)
i have no price tag...am not a commodity...am no ASTON MARTIN....am no one's property....i am to be valued respected n loved.
moreso, something good doesnt come cheap.
no BRIDE shld have a price tag simple!!!
*stares blankly at post*
i agree with ig, bride price implies that women are a commodity that can be bought. I totally disagree with the whole concept and will instruct my husband not to take part in such. How misogynistic
O sweet Tininu, where art thou? Hope you are okay sha.
i think the way the tin man put it here is VERY overrated. bride price these days is still pretty much what it was: about N8!
BUT...
Enter the wedding preparations, and in-law settling. Now comes the real thing. How much would i spend on her and a wedding and all that? guy, make we neva enta dat gist just yet!
lol
Have u gone into hiding?
igbos..dey collect.*full stop*...
how much depends on the family
yorubas ask u for like eight pounds then return itt cos their daughter is priceless....
but the whole 100 yams,drinks, clothes for her box, hall,decorations,caterers etc
thats where the money goes......
but hey no matter what u get to spend
na human being them dey dash u o
cough out the dough
Bride price in my custom is kolanuts wrapped in leaves...dammit i am not having that...my bride price has no tag...it is priceless. Although...i take diamonds over kolanuts anyday...infact scrap the bloody nuts. Lol
Funny post..
imagine the fun u would have sleeping with ur Aston Martin!!!
Where im from i think they return the bride price...cos we r priceless...but i know ibo pple collect o...i have one or 2 in-laws from there and i kinda felt sorry for my cousins when they realised what they had 2 cough up!!
mr man..how goes it??
i think we are drifting..all ur fault!! hit me up soonish!
so inshort, are u trying to say you cant afford my ring? or its the brideprice u cant afford?
I dont believe in bride prices. There is no price tag that can adequately reflect my worth...
lol @ mr sherfield...
I think the best thing is give one of those mock checks...those A1 sized checks that hey give prize winners...yeah that one...so she can hnag it in her room...afterall money is paper with ink designs on it...
WOMEN...please stop busting ur gaskets over NOT being in the same class as an AM 08 o ahnahn...u people should stop it o...una wan commit sacriledge...
hahahahahaa....I am cracking up at this post! Let me ask you, and this is just 2 days of running around planning a birthday party stress, how much do you think you are worth if things were reversed? In India, most times, the woman's family pays a dowry for the groom. So how much would you go for? This should be a post on its own, because I know that your response will be incredibly funny. In fact, we can start a 'How much is The Tin worth?' game. I like games...
lol at the lucozade wrapped rings for guys.... u r one funny dude. Thanks for stopping by my blog, am sure we r going to get along just fine:)
came across this blog and i must say am enjoying it! well bride price in Zim ranges in the trillions (note that everyone in the country right now everyone's a millionaire)..lol..it used to be cows and money but now its just money and if you're based outside Zim then its in either £s,USD, or Euro and never below the thousands mark!! We do deserve being priced at such dear prices just like the aston martin!!
LOL! @ "it is very basic...infact it is soo basic that i am sure if i wrap yellow lucozade nylon around a silver top shop £5 ring..it would look very similar"
you cracked me up wiv this oh! especially the proof of purchase thing..tew funny! dont believe in bride prices sha...taaa, why should my papa benefit? na lie oh, just ge tme a stunna of an engagement ring + one siiiick ride..talk of brideprice doesnt even have to surface..we can do the weddin in court alone sef :P
first time here..me likey!
see ur big head!lol...shaaa...i see where u are coming from..but then i dont..anyhow me i am worth uncountable!!..take that! lol
