That might be the list but left for the lady's parents to cut off so many things. I know of a lady whose parents demanded the man must follow the list to the latter and at the end of the day, he told them he has 'bought' their daughter for that, they dare not come to his home. Till date, her family has never visited them. What most people do not understand is "a man can never finish paying his wife's brideprice" so, parents should help their daughters ministry grin

Let me enlighten you people a bit. 1. Igbos girls can cook and Igbos have variety of food Abacha, Okpa, Agidi, fiofio, egusi soup, ogbono soup, okro soup, oha or ora soup, ero soup, and many more. 2. Our girls know how to take care of the home and can stay in marriage wella compared to other tribes. 3. Our women are VERY industrious and HARDWORKING. They can turn a cleaner job into a multinational company. In conclusion: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES (being a real man) TO MARRY AN IGBO GIRL, GO AND COMMIT SUICIDE!
