7. EFIK (CROSS RIVER)
Efik bride price in Nigeria:
Efik are a south-south ethnic group in Cross River. Not only is a traditional marriage costly, but the potential husband is also required to arrange a carnival-style wedding party, especially if the woman comes from an influenced family.
An Efik bride is valued in Euros, not Nigerian Naira, which is the country’s official foreign currency. The reason for this is due to the significant impact of colonial actions on the Efiks.
