Most Expensive and Most Cheapest Places to Marry in Nigeria (Bride Prices)

In my many years working at a cyber cafe in the

heart of Lagos, i have had many people from

different walks of life especially the elderly folks

walk into my Cafe in view of typing the

requirement their prospective son

in-laws is to pay for the hands of their daughter in

marriage.

I probably shouldn't be telling you guys this, but
the stuff is this: this old folks Papas and Mamas
seems so friendly that they try to explain to me
why they charge each amount for each item and
they relate it to the history of their village.
i wont forget a memorable event there was this
particular daddy from Delta state, from his looks
he would be probably in his 70s dressed in a short
nicker and a polo and wearing a hat and holding a
walking stick with a shiny white boot and with a
smile.then he handed me a list still smiling and
while i was typing he was just telling me the origin
of the various items.
