This gown is very essential and the most important gown in our life, we must all get married and as you know marriage brings about peace between two families. This gown shows you are fully and prepared to have a child, this part of this gown, you will be filled with joy cause you can now stand on your own.
Engagement/wedding I'm olden days :
Have you ever imagine how people get married in the olden days especially the Yoruba trybe although all tribes can have similar ways and similar means of performing their engagement and wedding
Yoruba trybe
this is one of the most popular trybe in Nigeria and also one of the most collest trybe they are found in the south western part of Nigeria 🇳🇬.
The Yoruba trybe have a means of doing their engagement which brings peace between two families.
In the yourba trybe, people love the part of engagement, in this part there are series of steps to be taken before you can be called an husband or wife.
In the first step, it is the husband that usually come to carry the wife oh her house, so in order for him to go and carry at home he will need to visit the family first especially the father and ask for list of foods, properties he has to buy in order to achieve his daughter.
In next step, the husband faamily will have to buy all in the list the wife father's gave to them, so after buying they will have to prepare a special day that they will present all those they have bought and for the wife hand in marriage.
That all that how life goes on, that is how they will start living together, and will give birth to new children they will take care of
That a little you need to know about the Yoruba tribe engagement.
Thanks y'all.
