My name is Adeyemi Phillips and I am about to lose a woman I love and hope to get married to, all because her family are not being reasonable over their demands on our wedding.
I met Chinwe while we were in the university in Lagos and she is from the eastern part of the country while I am from the Yoruba speaking part of the west. We have been dating for over six years and this year, we decided to make our union formal by tying the knots.
We went for our introduction and it went smoothly and I had high hopes that the traditional marriage, the one they 'Igba Nkwu' would be as smooth but when the gave me a list of things to provide, I had to sit back and have a rethink. The items they requested was so much and ridiculous that one would think they are selling their daughter.
When my family and I sat down and made the calculations, it amounted to N2.2 million and that is far from the budget I have in mind.
My parents have advised me to look for a Yoruba girl to marry and forget Chinwe but I love her so much and do not want to lose her.
But my problem is that I cannot afford such an amount and even if I do, how will we start life as a young couple?
Adeyemi,

That's not up to 10000 USD but well, lesson for the Igbos to bring down the bride price so their girls don't getu lose true love.

Dude its not easy to throw a relationship of five years away becos of expensive list. Just inform the girl and let them understand what u can afford.

People spend more on a wedding ring. It depends on your budget. If it will upset your plans, don't do it. Wedding lasts for a day, marriage is forever! I'm an Igbo man, but my people need to calm down with this bride price thing.

Chai.. Sorry dear!

Nawaooooo

Better thing na money make am

Igbo girl na better thing among other girls in Nigeria

If you want to comfort of Zenvo ST1, or Ferrari na your money.

If can not afford the cars because of the cost just manage GOLF 3 (N600,000)

If you no marry IGBO GIRL, You are missing alot.

Some guys still never get sense

You are the one spending the cash not her or her family. Cut your coat according to your size because people won't bring you guys food at home after the lavish wedding.

That's why I like oyinbo ppl

10 guest
Little drinks
Little food

And the wedding is over.

Is your wife an Igbo girl?

Ogedanny, please, I think you need to sit your wife to be down and have a very long talk with her. If she really loves you and wants to get married to you, she should have told her family to ease up on the list.

Imagine bro, think about it, just the list is 2.2 million, what will the wedding now cost? If you ask me, its outrightly outrageous. 2.2 million Naira price list equate the girls family want to sell their daughter.

If she refuse and tell you that her family's demand must stand, then I tell you to call it quits, because "prevention is better than cure". Even if you meet up with their demands there's nothing stopping them from demanding from you again when they have the need to. Trust me, bro, I have friends who are married to igbo girls and they're not smiling.

My advice to you is sit your wife to be down and let her communicate with her family, if she refuse, women still many for Naija!. Trust me on this. I know it is hard, but like I said, "prevention is better than cure".
