Bride Price or Donkey
An desperate Afghan soldier had quick one with a donkey since he could not afford to pay any bride price (roughly £1,650).
The soldier, who was not identified, was detained for several days last week after a young boy spotted him with the animal in an abandoned house in the southeastern town of Gardez.
“The man insisted he had no other choice but the donkey because he could not afford to pay a dowry to get married,” a local police officer told Reuters.
The man had since been released without charge, he said
Must remind self to speak to bank manager to setup an account to start saving money for bride price.

That’s really sickening! I can’t believe people will go out of their ways to do disgusting things like that in this day & age for that matter.

My Work load at work has increased but I will try to keep up. How are you doing?
I’m not too bad too o, i thank God for everything. Work dey a bit slow for me here but i’m still grateful all the same. I’m preparing to go to Naija for a month after over 7 yrs in the white man’s country. I can’t wait, I’m going in less than 2 wks time. :)
what kind of response would be suitable to this.. gosh!!
Hi, Aderemi, I really like the layout of your site. How do I do something like this?
Oh, and by the way, what’s the average bride price these days?
Simi, enjoy your holiday
nk, exactly my reaction
Seun, Thanks. I used CSS as well HTML for site design. My inspiration came from the http://www.cssvault.com which showcases a load of different sites and has several articles on how to do different tricks with HTML and CSS.
As for bride price, I believe it is all relative. The worst case I have in mind is £10,000 which excludes all the lavish gifts and the marriage ceremony - As a student, it is not looking good.
