Ugandan comedienne Anne Kansiime has sparked conversation after admitting that she once paid her own dowry.
The mother of one revealed that she took the unconventional step to ease the pressure from her late father, who constantly questioned when she would settle down.
Speaking during an interview with Uganda’s NRG Radio, Kansiime explained that since she was financially stable at the time, she decided to handle the dowry herself.

“I was tired of my father asking me to remind the man I was with. At that point, I was really making a lot of money and had even started a business. So I thought, ‘I can give Daddy this money, so we stop talking about this.’ I kept reminding my partner to pay, and when he eventually gave me the money, I paid it myself. After that, I stopped pestering him, and he never brought it up again. But I am not there anymore,” she said.
Despite the unusual move, Kansiime insists she has no regrets.
“Yes, I did it. Do I regret it? I don’t think I regret anything that has happened to me before. It’s because of those experiences that I am here today, and now we have a story to tell. Also, it’s pointless to regret things that have already happened because it changes nothing,” she explained.
