A Nigerian woman, Confidence Utomi, has sparked conversations online after revealing the simple and affordable bride price list her family handed to her husband.
A Refreshing Take on Traditional Marriage Lists
Taking to Facebook, Confidence shared that she stumbled upon the list while cleaning her bedroom and was reminded of how stress-free the process was for her husband.
“Urhobo Marriage Bride Price List is the most budget-friendly list I have ever seen. No too much wahala. Our elders don’t give headaches when it comes to asking for their daughter’s hand in marriage,” she wrote.
A Dowry That Speaks Volumes
She further disclosed that after her husband paid the required ₦120 dowry, her family returned ₦20 to him, emphasizing that their daughters are not for sale but rather priceless treasures.
“If you have an Urhobo woman already, hold her tight. We are the best!” she added.
Mixed Reactions from Social Media
Her post has since sparked reactions, with many praising the Urhobo culture for its considerate approach to marriage, while others compared it to their own traditions, where bride price lists can be overwhelmingly expensive.
