This is everything you need to know about the Yoruba marriage list. In #ACForever2024, Christopher married the love of his life Adenike in a vibrant Yoruba wedding. Christopher has shared his experience of the marriage process and it was a beautiful one indeed.
Let’s dive into the beautiful Yoruba marriage process as shared by Christopher:
This is what it takes to marry a Nigerian girl.I received the dowry list signed by her father.I need to purchase yam, cola nut, alligator pepper, palm oil and even a LIVE GOAT! And not just one yam or pepper – large quantities. The list is 39 items in total.
I will be visiting the bulk food markets to gather everything I need to complete this list before the marriage.These items are symbolic like the bottle of honey meaning our marriage will forever be sweet, yam as a symbol of fertility and prosperity, and an umbrella signifying my role as a protector for my wife.It is a lot of things, but it is worth it for Adenike. She is Yoruba but all the tribes practice dowries though with different items and traditions around it.
This was my experience in Mushin Main Market, one of the popular markets here in Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬As we continue with my dowry shopping, I went to Mushin to get the kola nut, alligator pepper, honey, adun, packs of drinks, and biscuits.But I had to make an important stop for coconut candy and baba dudu.
