Is true. I saw one list that would stock a market stall. Tinned milks, biscuits, bags of rice, sugar, salt, noodle, goats, chicken, etc. It is nonsense. As long as the boy is bringing pepper, honey, salt, yam, etc for a traditional meeting with the family, that is what is important, respect and willingness to sit down and consummate the deal by lowering head to the man of the house and father of the bride, both sides offering in good faith and wishes for a sweet union.
Lwkmdcheesycheesycheesy...I witnessed same scenario somewhere. The guy in question is from my kindred,he bought all that was written in d list. Omo if u see list eeeh,I swear u won't marry her again(Nothing wey no dey d list) During d traditional marriage,something happened. When it was time for d girl to show who her husband is with d palmwine,her kinsmen said they won't play any music that it's a critical moment. After a long argument d lady agreed. Then one man said that d husband should use 5k to wash d cup 1st before pouring palmwine in itshockedshockedshockedshocked. Another wahala,d guy refused because @ this moment he's getting fed up with d whole thing. He later paid 3k. Then after d ceremony,time to present d required items for d kinsmen,omo na here d real wahala burst. They insisted that d guy should add 15k to d items. Reason? That it's included in new list,that d girl's father didn't give d guy their new list. The guy was mad,he swore never to give them a kobo. They locked d lady in one room. Omo d guy told us to enter motor say em don marry finish,he abandoned d girl and was about to live. It was a very serious problem ooo. The girl n her mother was crying and shouting. Later they released her when they saw that we are serious to abandon her. It was a bitter experience.

The fact that a man gives you a cheap ring does not mean he is not financially stable. One secret to prolonged and an exciting relationship is contentment and appreciation. What if he uses the money to plan for something better for you? You never can tell. I know a lot of couples who after spending a lot on engagement ring, do not share anything else valuable.

Just to let you know, if you aren't contented with the cheap ring he gives you, it may cause a lot of havoc in that relationship unknowingly because he surely b would never be happy with you.

A lot of marriage that has been successful is mainly as a result of contentment on the part of the couples.

You wanna do something more meaningful with the money rii? Then do just that n 4get engagement ring. I intend to wear the ring always so I dont need it washing away, mixing with sweat n getting into my pores biko.

Just don't deny me a good wedding band. I'm more particular about that.

And what if he decides to change it yearly for you?

What if he refuses to buy you an expensive ring? you would cancel the engagement?

Adaeze003: Hmm... I think I'm logical in my dealings so it depends. So you gave me a cheap ring coz its love that matters? I hope you won't mind if I don't use it after that night? It's the love that matters rii? If you won't mind then I guess I'll consider... But then again, to get married, one must be financially stable ie, have a steady source of income(doesn't matter how much) so, if you do have a source of income, what's your excuse 4 getting me something that'll wash out in a month?

If you don't believe you must give me a ring to prove anything then don't! Carry on with marriage rights without it after all its not our culture.

So yes, I care 4 the type of ring. It must be worth something or none at all...

I am a man and I totally agree. Just because its all about Love, you mustnt get the cheapest rock out there. Marriage or engagement are meant to be a one in a lifetime thing for both and I will always suggest, even to be kids to come to put a lil extra bucks in for that. Something not too extravagant if you dont have much, but if you do have the bucks, spend some more extra extra for that shit...
You no want make you own fiancee snap the rock and upload to IG too.
Dont dull, mate...
