Ankale’s Bride Price App is the latest mobile app driving Nigeria loco.
Most social media savvy internet users are indulging in yards of fun.
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’.
The app has a lot of comedic value. Check it here
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 for laughs.
