Kobina Ackon known widely by the brand name, Wode Maya, who is a Ghanaian freelance Vlogger/YouTuber, has noted that one will require about GHC15,000 to hold a traditional marriage ceremony.
According to him, this amount will not be able to cater for a white weeding.
“You don’t need the white wedding so 15,000 cedis is enough,” he wrote in a post on X.
He was reacting to a flier by TV3 that indicated that it will cost you GHC44,712.50 to have a standard wedding in Ghana (both White and Traditional ceremonies).
The 3News Research Desk concluded this after costing the average 2021 marriage list of various tribes.
Wode Maya didn’t reveal why such an amount would suffice. Things needed to be catered for during a traditional marriage ceremony include paying of bride price, akonta sekan (money for the brother-in-law), among others.
