About this listen
Episode 4: The Bride Price Dilemma
This week on Shine Your Eye, we’re talking all things bride price—the traditions, the tensions, and the taboos. From million-Naira demands to symbolic token payments, Nigerian bride price culture is layered, loaded, and deeply rooted. Is it love or is it a transaction? We address the debate: should bride price be abolished, adjusted, or appreciated?
Praise Report
This week, we’re lifting up Judge Derek Obialo, the Nigerian-American judge appointed as Associate Judge of the 240th District Court in Fort Bend, Texas! His story is proof that representation matters—and that we’re out here breaking ceilings.
What We’re Digging
Abby is digging: Rent the Runway—because why buy another dress you’ll only wear once? Uchenna is not digging the size uncertainty.
