After having their traditional wedding in November, singer Davido finally paid Chioma’s bride price in full.
The singer paid the pride price in full to Umunna group in Owerre, Nkworji Ezeala ofu Nkwerre Local Government Area in Imo State, reports insisted.
Also, in photos and videos posted online, Chioma’s dad could be seen performing the Umunna and Umuada rites.
According to reports, the second phase of an Igbo wedding is the Umunna rites. This is a meeting between the groom’s family and the bride’s extended family.
During the meeting, the groom’s people would restate their interest in marrying from the bride-to-be’s 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 would take a few gifts such as kola nuts, palm wine, beer, soft drinks, tobacco, snuff, and a goat which would be shared between the groom and bride’s family.
Meanwhile, the secret traditional wedding was held on November 6, following the loss of their son, Ifeanyi.
