According to vanguard, Akonobi made the plea last weekend during the traditional wedding ceremony of the daughter of a business mogul, Chief Louis Onwugbenu, Onyinye and her husband, Bosah Chukwuogo.
He said, ''To me, this topic (bride price) has been dealt with in the past by Ndigbo, who came out with a reduced bride price, to enable our young boys marry our young girls''....I think he is right! those places charging much should come down!
God bless this man....may he live long.....its a serious topic that our igbo people need to reconsider...imagine getting married to mbise or imo state babe...the gals parents will suck u dry especially when she is educated...
