MY YORUBA BRIDE 2 (NOW THE MONEY MATTER)




From our previous edition we looked out the items on the list as part of the dowry in marraying a yoruba girl, that the groom will present at the traditional marriage of a Yoruba bride. In the course of the negotiation and agreement between both families, some money will have to represent and make things move faster, which is in accordance to the Yoruba traditional marriage, lets take a peep:

  • Dowry – N20,000
  • Owo isigba (money to commence proper) – N1000
  • Owo omo ile okunrin (money for the male younger siblings) –N2000
  • Owo omo ile obinrin (money for the female younger siblings) – N2000
  • Owo iyawo ile (money for the family wives) – N1000
  • Owo baba gbo (money for older men in the family) – N2000
  • Owo Iya gbo (money for the older women in the family) – N2000
  • Owo Ijoko Agba (money for seated head of family) – N1000
  • Owo Ikanlekun (money to open the door for the in law) – N1000
  • Owo Plane (money for transporting the wife) – N1000
  • Owo Isiju Iyawo (money to unveil the bride) – N1000
  • Reading of letter – N1000

Hey! Did I catch you punching you calculator… *smiles* Nah! dis is very cool wait till you see that of the easterners and kalabaris (coming soon). I guess you now have an idea of what it will cost to make that girl your iya'wo.

    Lolz @ money for plane and money to commence proper. These things just add humour to the occasion, so I think I appreciate it.

READY BUT STILL WAITING

I have something to say, hmmmmmmm, I have something to say.... Listen! Listen pay full attention for I have something to say...... Ehennnnnn so let me land. When I dropped my first note this year " Same wish-list as every year" it was focused on the unmarried young lady and this led me straight to my next thoughts which i'm about to share with you. You know I always like to look at the flip side of every story, so my focus is undoubtedly focused on the unmarried brothers. When I write I draw my inspiration/findings from real life everyday  people and experiences that everyone can relate with, it doesn't necessarily have to be about me but I clearly like to state my opinion on life issues as I see or perceive them. *wink* Now  Prince charming got it all working for him, a good family, a great job, a nice apartment, may or may not have a car, perfect gentle man, ladies man, and goes to church at le ast every sunday.
