Popular Nigerian singer, Davido has paid the bride price of his woman, Chioma Rowland in full.
It was gathered that the Adeleke family paid the full bride price to Umunna group in Owerre, Nkworji Ezeala ofu Nkwerre Local government area of Imo State.
Photos of Chef Chi’s dad performing the Umunna rites and Umuada rites, were also released online.
Note that the second phase of an Igbo wedding is the Umunna rites which is a meeting between the groom’s family and the bride’s extended family.
This meeting is important because the groom’s people have to restate their interest in marrying from the bride-to-be family, in the presence of her Umunna (direct and extended family, with family elders).
Once consent has been secured, dates for the traditional wedding will be set and the bride price list will be sent out. The groom takes a few gifts such as kola nuts, palm wine, beer, soft drinks, tobacco, snuff and a goat which will be shared between the groom and bride’s family.
