Just weeks after launching BridePrice in Nigeria, Anakle, a Nigerian digital agency has launched a Kenyan version of the site to help Kenyans know how much they could pay in bride prices for their wives or their friend’s wives.
The social media app launched for fun allows anyone to calculate a girl’s worth or their friends or enemies basing on their looks, qualifications, knowledge of current affairs among other things. According to the firm, the Nigerian version of the app has received over two million with visits from over 180 countries around the world and has been featured on BBC, CNBC, CNN and major international news outlets.
The app, which calculates a bride price based on quiz questions is just for fun, and people should not take it serious but use it just like a game.
I don’t know how much any girl is worth, and that’s everyone’s problem because women are invaluable and the app is not trying to calculate anyone’s worth at all. The digital agency says it launched it to test what causes virality on social media and of course controversy does according to the outcry againt the app in both local Nigerian and international media.
