Well-known Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has spoken about a viral video from a marriage discussion in Mbaise that fell apart when the woman’s family asked for N1 million as bride price.
GistLover reported that a relative of the groom, who filmed the video, shared his anger and disappointment over the demand, stating they would not proceed with the wedding.
The veteran actor spoke out for his hometown, Mbaise in Imo State. He pointed out that bride prices vary in the Eastern part of the country, depending on the value families place on their daughters.
Kanayo, in a widely shared video, challenged the notion that bride prices and demands in the South East are generally high.
“Bride price is relative in igbo land And varies from family to family.It is also dependent on the value attracted by the girl….It is not peculiar to ndi Mbaise. Kanayo O Kanayo Ihe Mbaise ji Ka Mba,” he wrote in a caption.

@ihazamichael: I am an Esan man from Edo State, i am married to a woman from Awka North, Achalla, before my marriage i was scared because of the rubbish we see online but when i started the traditional marriage process, i realized it’s easier than getting married from my place currently. My father inlaw ad my wife’s elder brother made everything so easy, i didn’t spend half of my budget, my friends and family were asking if we were at Anambra or somewhere else.
@i_am_kingrussell01: “You’re forever blessed sir thanks for letting them know.”
@francisahamefuna: “Absolutely correct. I am proudly married to an Mbaise woman and I can relate. Very decent, respectful and contented women are found in Mbaise. An Mbaise woman is not lazy and she is not promiscuous. She will support you to raise God fearing children. For peace and rest of mind ; marry an Mbaise woman.”
@darluchechima: “Oga, marrying from Mbaise is not what I will ever dream of, the one we did, we have been living with the regrets…”
@chinasa_ruth_izuchukwu: “What you said is the truth sir bride price doesn’t have fixed price they may ask you for 1million but end up taking #50 naria only the remaining money will be return back to you because they re not selling their daughter off to you.”
