AMAZING!!! Nigerian Bride Price Calculator

Igbos are good in bringing up beautiful ladies and are also good in taking the highest bride price. Igbo's bride price has destroyed many relationships because the grooms are scared of what the bride's family may ask as bride price. Using the chart shown above, calculate how much you are expect to pay for bride price if you were to marry your current Igbo girlfriend. (If their amount is more than that give her the boot.)

Igbo women are the most expensive, I wonder if they are worth it?
