Anyway, have you guys seen this app? Tried it? What do you think? It's a new app that helps women know how much they are worth so they can charge their future husbands accordingly. But it's all in good fun and not to be taken seriously. The app basically assigns virtual monetary value to women in an attempt to calculate their bride price based on factors such as their level of education, skin colour, nationality, weight, beauty, physical features, accents, country of residence, employment status etc'
I find the app hilarious but apparently not everyone does. A Cosmo writer yesterday described the app as sexist and someone even started a petition asking the app makers to take it down saying that it promotes objectification and misogyny towards women but the guys behind it Anakle.com say its just a joke and should not be perceived as a platform to objectify women. Find their statement after the cut
The app itself is an aggregation of jokes and stereotypes regarding Brice price in Nigeria. These stereotypes are all jokingly used in various Nigerian cultures and on social media every day.
Below are some screenshots from the appWhat the app does is aggregate these collections of jokes in one place, and this is for the purpose of fun and fun only. Admittedly, the satirical content caricatures the popular Bride Price concept popular in Nigeria, and most African countries. It should not be perceived as a platform to objectify woman of any tribe, race or color.
We have taken care that no derogatory, sexually explicit content or offensive language is used on the app. It is also not an attempt to put a price on the true value of a woman.

If women won't tolerate jokes about rape,I don't see any reason why they should tolerate this.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
LOL! Looking out for the fun until I saw Lupita's name as a type of colour. That means I can say, "She's lupita by complexion." Lol.

Most guys don't like it, After playing this game, as a lady,truth is you see yourself and value yourself with more esteem.
Lmao. Linda my bride price is 707,000 o. Dis app dey lie joor. 5yrs ago that I got married my bride price was 270k which my husband still talks about till tomorrow. How can over 5yrs now my bride price is just 707k. It should be 4,350,000 as at now. I have appreciated in value biko.
Omg this is hilarious. I haven't tried the app, but I remember my boyfriend saying he checking my bride price on an app n I didn't understand. Mehn I love the app. M downloading it now.
The people protesting agaisnt should go and sit down abeg. The app is fun, just that it isnt perfect. It doesnt do the right calculations..The comments are hillarious and fun.. Dont take it too seriously!
Unfortunately, women will continue to be objectified because we as WOMEN objectify ourselves - bleaching, fake hair, butt pads, breast pads, scanty clothing etc. We cannot eat our cake and have it. I think the app is fun!
Lol @ Whitenicious and Lupita. @ Naija #0, lol. We r not that bad nah. Still laughing.
I used the app two days ago and found it hilarious and not the tiniest bit offensive. By the way, I have some change to collect from my inlaw *bbmtongueoutface*
It promotes bleaching. If they revise it and score smooth ebony skin high and score whitenicious low, it will be good.
Hahahahahsh have checked mine ...am a premium babe .....the elders are seriously sick

I saw the app yesterday calculated an ex's bride price, it was 944, 000, na only me close the page!
*ROTFL*jeez. ......,,lmao
I'm happy for you o Linda. You finally removed the close-up mouse thingy. Or did you run out of toothpaste? lol
I'm fine with it, its funny. But thats because I am a successful, confident Nigerian woman. I cant say the same for my Nigerian sisters. I fear these jokes and stereotypes do hit hard and subconsciously plant a seed in our minds concerning beauty perception and value of our women.
Another thing, our entire culture is based on misogyny, so what can we really say. All my mom ever said is "is this how you will be doing XYZ when you are in ILE OKO' ILE OKO means husbands house. I used to get so upset about that as a child like that was my goal in life.
Bride price? Thats our culture. But who in their right minds wants to be bought. I don't defend it. its stupid. Why we still do these things, I dont know. We need to update our cultural beliefs and practices.
Luvly app! Mine is N494k. Lafd all tru nd mk those pple siddon abeg!
Tried it ooo... My bride price was 2,709,607,900... Laff killed me coz in my village,the price is #60... Lol... Dear future Husby a beg listen to this app n not my village elders... Amen
I did mine.!
Totally hilarious.loved it
Lmao
Dis shit is crazy
Hilarious. I'm tired of laughing. you all need to try this. Tried mine and my pride price is affordable. NGN 1,334,000.00*wink*
OLA LIB
Loooool!! Still laughing ada in the morning and caro at night! Its really funny
LOL....It's a nice and funny app. I did one for my sister and it gave a bride price of N1.163million....Nice though...and funny
You are definitely worth much more than any app can tell. Just give me the go ahead.........
for me I am priceless because I am wonderfully made!
Dis is really funny ooooooo
I also think that the App is sexist, nobody needs to start valuing a woman with the curves and shapes of her body. There is more to a woman than her sexiness. The strength in our hearts, the love in our arms--the arms that have rocked the cradles of the great men and women that have and are still ruling our world. Those are unquantifiable worth of women. We women are too beautifully and wonderfully made to be placed on the scale of that App. Thanks.
Linda I just love your sense of humor...God bless you and answer all your heart desires...Amen
Yea! my bride price is over one million. lol
Lmao
Seen it just. Funny. Vee
It's all jokes! Some people take life too seriously! Loosen up

By the way, I know future grooms will secretly make use of this. Hehehe.

Chai my own 363 k! So bein average height and dark skinned is a minus. Naija men we hail thee!
Hilarious
Hilarious
I think its completely witty nd hilarious, nothing there suggesting misogyny. Some ppl can just like to take life too seriously. Jeez, cultivate a sense of humor. And my own bride price go b 5 billion b dat, lol for my mind.
Yess linda,I saw it yest mine wz 500k n sometin sometin....lol

This is so nice/funny
LOL. My mom's 65k hahahaha. See me see DoroLinda. 2.5m? Now I see you are ready to spend the rest of your life in your Pman's house. Trust me, if you don't get married this year, that 400k will reduce by 70%, year after by 90%, year after by 99% and finally another year after you will be the one to pay your husband's groom (huh?!) price....Don't take this seriously, just messing around. You are always in my prayers all day everyday. Bless you.
All those skin bleeching girls should better take it serious
Who knows how much mine would have been b4 I got married. OMG

NGN 865,500.00
Super Premium Babe! Your bride price is going to cause a war in this Africa
Lmfao bcos u fit get bride price abi. No wori.u go soon find.sweerie life is nt so hard ok.
Any woman who think it is okay to assign monetary value on what she's worth is utterly stupid. Words cannot express the level of idiocy being portrayed by people who say this app is "hillarious"
It's very offensive and ignorant.
Mine is #715,000 the elders said 100 yards of wife material
What IS the problem is the concept of Bride price itself, and not the app. The app is just emulating that culture. How else do you think bride's parents calculate their bride price? If it's not based on the girl's beauty, then it's on her education.
You guys, that is those that find a problem with the app, are pointing fingers at the wrong people/thing.
Is Linda now a Yoruba girl cos the way she speaks Yoruba these days is funny lol
To them ladies...what ever amount you get should be divided by the number of men you have slept with...the amount you get is your actual BP! I hope I am understood! Lol
