Pls it's not general in akwaibom o!!!
This is wickedness not to the man but to their daughter... Plus is their daughter a virgin?.. personally I'm not paying bride price for a girl that's not a virgin... The person that disvirgined you is the one meant to pay your bride price...

will the elders listen?

emonis88:

guy forget o! many wan marry but if d list is outrageous many go run o! some dat even bring all dat is in d list go hate d wife later on if things turn south for d man. Go n do a survey , anywhere list for traditional marriage rites is much na so evening newspapers Dey full ground, some even run away with men just Dey born for d man. it all boils down to outrageous list.

I still do not agree with you on this. People are marrying list or no list

Mode4:


Are u mentally deranged??

You are the one who is mentally deranged if you don’t know akwaibom girls could be referred to as common.....

gozzlin:
Hrhqueenphil my sweet Ekaette, so na so your people dey prepare to hand long list to me?

I jump and pass.

Thank you jumping and running away, I am only for a capable man who loves me and can pay anything to take me away as his wife like Jacob that worked for 7 years for this heartrob

A Nigerian man who was getting set to marry his Akwa Ibom girlfriend, has reportedly abandoned the wedding plans prematurely, owing to the outrageous engagement list given to him by his girl’s family.

On the list were a variety of consumables and non consumables expected to be provided by the groom before their engagement which is meant to hold in the lady’s hometown in Akwa Ibom state.

A Twitter user who shared the story alongside photos of the list, said the man in question allegedly fled at the sight of the list.

A friend of mine married from Akwa Ibom in 2010, he actually bought a complete sofa set of 150k because it was in the list.
After they'll say igbos na our list plenty pass. Mthcewww! Go Kalabari and see list that can build you a duplex.

These so-called elders better change if not their daughters will be unmarried considering the wanton unemployment in the state.

Jeeeeesus is Lord

Mannylex:


Lol. If the lady is pregnant, the list also increases . There is another list called MKPO USONG EYIN or so which translates to stubborn or disrespect list. Among that list you have to also buy a goat amongst other stuffs.

For where?if I give her belle and refuse to pay,the family would still give her hand in marriage to avoid shame

EmekaA125:

That means you no go marry na. Where you wan see virgin for Naija

This is serious.

My own list wasn't long like this biko; I guess it's the girl's uncle's who wrote this.Maybe her parent(s) are late.

slowice:


These things aren't always known from the onset... What sort of talk is this?

it's a set up bruh. until your are deeply in love before the family drop the bombshell. at that point you won't be able to backout.

Did I quote the tribe of the promiscuous woman? Fault finder

During my marriage my parents didn't collect anything from my husband... Except bride price and I'm from Akwa Ibom... So this is not applicable to all Akwa ibomites

Your stupid point makes no sense, if that is not the real list, or if its is negotiable then, put the real thing and stop complicating the guys life, he should bring his family and argue a list until he can pay. How does it sound to you, the lady is a person, not a product you price and negotiate to obtain, bunch of idiots.

WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS FROM?

thorpido:
He will still 'owe' them and he will be required to pay it one way or the other.Sometimes,even the children will be required to pay it later.

When your marriage recognize by the government, there's nothing they can do. you can only do it at your own will.
it only lacks some traditional backing that 1 can over look if wife is faithful.

thorpido:
Abasi mbok!
You're dating a girl and you plan to marry her and yet you have no idea what the marriage requirements are in the place you want to marry?You had to wait till you see list mbok?How naive!
Wasted your time and the girl's time.

The list is outrageous though.

Reex12:
200k? wow north or south

He's right.i know of North like abatete, abacha

majamajic:


Yes but within the range , total can't go down from 5M to 1M , it will be around 4.5M

Oil dey ur head,the negotiable thing is a scam, just like buying a goods from market and u budget 2k but going they tell u 100k,even if u negotiate it will still be high

na2016:
This man is not ready for marriage and posting this list here can cause serious problems for him.
If he was not ready to marry, he should have calmed down and stopped making it look like this is common in Akwa Ibom state.

The OP has refused to tell people that they usually reduce this list when elders from both families meet.
The OP has also refused to tell people that this list is family dependent. That some families can give you their daughter just by paying the bride price alone and won't collect all those.
Stop misinforming the public!!!

If they can do all u listed why make a ridiculous list in the first place

Joydan95:

My dear, I am from Akwa Ibom and I can say it’s quite unfortunate that even the parent of the bride has no business with writing the marriage list. The marriage list is written my members of the extended family, even the bride’s parents has no right to omit anything from that list else they may end up dying for nothing. I got married last year October and the total number of goats and sheep my husband gave as listed on the marriage list was 7 (As in 6 goats and one special breed of goat ).
My parents couldn’t even collect any material thing from their side of the list, they only collected dowry cos close family friends said it must be collected due to tradition.

And I'm sure you were not even a virgin ,7 goats for their hotel business, mtcheew

I will pay for that, if she's a VIRGIN!!
Not gonna pay a single Kobo if na second hand she be
