Not that much. It's only 2 pages .

Not much indeed!Including generating set,motor cycle,400k and 200k respectively .That family must be a scum gold digger and should be arrested for extortion.

Dezolo:
Translation: My daughter aint cheap..

Though still for sale

What's your case, glaucoma or river blindness?
Last line under father says "Dowry N400k while that of mother says "Dowry N200k. Meaning after all "Satan Done" (said and done) you go drop N600k besides the individual items on the list... grin grin

As as how nah? Better person or richer person? That list is damn expensive...

Resurgence:

Though still for sale

it's not completely a sale..

Like a change of ownership till she's dissatisfied.

If I provide all these items to the family,they will never see her again,because they have sold her to me,if I like I can resell her to ritualist.

As I said sweety, that girl is marrying a tycoon's son . What the father was asking was just their loose change

myners007:
The list is okay because a woman that is properly bred deserves more than what is contained in the list

You do not measure the worth of a person in material or money terms. How much does God charge us for creating us?

This kind of expenses seem like a girl is for sale. Wife killing can be the consequence if she later misbehaves. Plus I have read many stories of people pushed into drug smuggling and other crimes to pay for this kind of marriage.

Chai, poverty is a bitch.

DAT LIST MUST BELONG TO SOME FAMILIES IN D SOUTH EAST - IMO STATE TO BE PRECISE

Did you see the vernacular type in that list before the father's dowry? Does it look like ibo language?

Guyman02:
When you are poor and mingle with poor friends the list becomes long and expensive, but if you are well placed and mingle with guys like E-Money, Olamide, Banky-W, Mikel Obi, Don Jazzy etc all they do is divide the items among themselves and tell you not to bother and even add more to it.

But OWU na bastard and thats why you fled because of ordinary list of items which can be negotiated with in-laws as it is not cast in stone.

This general list is produced by the community leaders expecting that their daughters will come home with prominent would-be son-in-laws like Adenuga, Otedola or Atiku children but for your type, go there confidently with an elder from your family and negotiate, thats how its done.

YoU are a FO-OL....Otedola married his wife when he had nothing even E-money started dating DAT babe in a one room squatting with Kcee.

worlexy:
That's outright rubbish. Are they selling off their daughter? Things like this is why most able-bodied guys are running away from marriage, wedding wahala is too expensive in Africa.
I'm sure the guy go be like

Oga wolexy, where u see this picture?

Akuko

buying one dozen of brazier and one dozen of pants for the mother got me laughing more than the gen for the father and bike for the mother. These people are really backward in their thinking. And to the mofos saying igbo girls are not cheap, you shld be ashamed of how your fathers are placing a named value on you. Just imagine the husband yabbing the wife later in life that he wants his one dozen of bra and pants returned.

I got married last year and my in laws refunded the dowry. Me and my wife enjoyed the money at a nice restaurant. Today I pay the school fees of her siblings, 3 in all. And I do it happily and respectfully. I wouldn't have agreed if they had given me such a ridiculous list like this. So greedy people. So greedy you want someone else to buy brazier for the wife's mother. Chaiii

Dezolo:
Translation: My daughter aint cheap..

Translation: The whole of my poor-ass family of thieves is for sale, beginning with my over-valued daughter.

This is madness! Madness I say!

Not that much. It is even negotiable. For those of you complaining wait until you have your own daughter.

Mbit Isong Afon, my efik brodas what is it?

Different strokes for different folks.. If you don't like it.. Get your ass somewhere else.. After all my mom's bride price was hella expensive and she talked to her people to bring it down and they did... Where I come from.. There are two types of marriages IYA and IGWO (I hope I'm correct).. If it's Iya.. Better be prepared financially and mentally.. If it's Igwo.. Cool.. So it's up to the guy.. If you don't feel comfortable with it.. Talk to them. Besides a friend of mine got married with 1000 naira only.

my point exactly what's the difference between marriage and selling your daughter (tradition is the difference) they use tradition to sugarcoat it

Not every Nigerian woman is for sale. Going through this list, you and I know those who are for sale and where they could be found. But more seriouly, if I pay this much, I expect to be buying a slave.

Abeg park well, which kind beta person, maybe dey will find a bigger fool, dis is guy is simply refusing to be exploited n being taken for a fool, abi the girl go born Jesus? Dis smacks of a wretched family looking for a Maga.

My fellow ladies from the east, please if your price is like the ops list .... biko go and plead with your parents to do something about this list. Becos in this BUHASHRI economy no man will spend this amount on a lady ... what about life after marriage biko nu? shey na garri u n your hubby go eat as newly weds? Its not my portion and your portion.

Anyway, gone are the days where men pay for the wedding expenses alone... you are called the helper for a reason... ngwa... its time to help your hubby.... You can both split the bills or tell your parents to do the right thing.

This list is outrageous and the person that compose this list was either sleeping or dreaming to think that a man will spend that amount in list alone. What about church wedding, food , drinks , decor etc for the trad ceremony ? hmmmmm.....

If m the guy i will quietly tell my woman the truth.... i cant spend this amount on a list , its too much not in this economy... you still have to take care of yourselves after marriage. house rent, feeding, transportation, etc etc etc ..... Simple we will split the bill 50 50 sheikina.... na my two cents ooooooooo

Marriages in Imo can be expensive but nah, not in this case, this one is pure extortion.

There is only one reason for this, that family must be wallowing in abject poverty.

And to think that the lady might not even be chaste...
