Hello Friends, hope everyone is doing great. Yesterday being the 5th day of Jan. 2022 was a memorable day to me and I'm happy how I spent It.
So Friends I was invited by my brother for the debate and bride price settlement of his wife.
About a couple of minutes past 12, I took off from my residence in the state capital to his wife's compound at Ikwuano, located south as against the geographical location of the state capital.
When I got there, some other people had already arrived who were people from my village and also some people from the wife's kindred.
Moreso, I complimented some of them and went to snap pictures with my siblings before the main event.

After a series of snaps, we went back to the venue for the bride price debate and settlement.
Wow! I never thought it was that easy but full of quibbles and antagony as the two in-laws sat for the debate. Really it wasn't easy but as the sat, my brother first dropped #15,000 about $26.3 then they proceeded to the main list which also ended at a debate of #130,000 which is also about $228 this was on the side of the men and the Youth.

Nevertheless, the women also debated their own which has an equivalent value with that of the men and Youth and everything got to the sum of #145,000 with a $254 equivalent. But a combination of that of the men and women amounted to #290,000 or a dollar equivalent of 508.77

After the debate, everyone went on refreshment after which one of the elders prayed and everyone went home.

It was really a great success and actually a good experience as I learned a lot from it. Do have a nice and splendid 2022 bye.
A big congratulations!!!
