Ugandan singer Jowy Landa has set high expectations for her future marriage, revealing that she will only settle down with a man who can afford to pay her mother a staggering UGX 500 million as bride price. Despite this hefty financial requirement, the singer insists she has no interest in an extravagant wedding.
A Simple Yet Pricey Marriage Condition
In a recent interview, Jowy Landa made it clear that she is not looking for the traditional lavish wedding that many celebrities opt for. Instead, she prefers a simple court marriage—on the condition that her mother receives UGX 500 million from her future husband.
“I don’t want a wedding; I want him to give my mum 500 million, and we just go to court and sign a marriage contract,” she stated.
Not Ready for Marriage Yet
Although Jowy Landa has shared her expectations for marriage, she emphasized that she is not currently interested in settling down. According to her, marriage is not in her immediate plans, as she still considers herself too young for such a commitment.
“My marriage plans are still at least three years away because I’m still a young girl,” she explained.
Social Media Announcement Plans
Jowy Landa also revealed that when she finally ties the knot, she will proudly introduce her husband to the public through social media. However, she reiterated that this won’t happen anytime soon.
“After signing, I will post him on social media; ‘Yah, this is my man,’ but that will be in about three years,” she added.
Public Reactions and Debate
Her statement has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many questioning whether such a high bride price is realistic. Some critics argue that cultural norms and personal financial stability should dictate bride prices, rather than setting an exorbitant figure. Meanwhile, her fans have supported her, saying that every woman has the right to set her own standards for marriage.
A Growing Trend Among Ugandan Celebrities?
Jowy Landa’s remarks add to the growing trend of Ugandan celebrities setting unconventional expectations for marriage. Over the years, several female stars have expressed their desire for financial stability and security before committing to a lifelong partner.
As Jowy Landa continues to focus on her music career, fans will be watching to see if any potential suitors are willing to meet her UGX 500 million bride price requirement when the time comes.
