This is no joke i just remembered it and i said let me share it with u guys i remember there was this girl i wanted to marry and during the traditional marriage i was given a list by my in-laws and to my amazement i saw blackberry and ipads included as part of what am going to buy on the list  i told my babe that about it and she said there was nothing wrong with it, this made us quarrel and she told me that after all, all other men that came to marry her elder sister complied that why will her own be different and still insisited, i told her bluntly i wasn't going to buy them when they insisted i called off the wedding 

it got me thinking what do villagers know about blackberry and ipads    i never buy for my popsy and momsy first so becos am marrying their daughter they now want to take advantage

i told my friend about it and he said maybe its the babe who would use the BB and ipads

wetin una think becos i can be any thing but being a maga is a no go area 

i have heard worst cases where the parents would ask the son in law to build a house for the parent in law or train their last born 

Your trip to hell is PAID FOR. I know blackberries in Nigeria are the best thing since SLICED BREAD but damn out of ALL THINGS this is what you remembered?

Dem no add lifetime subscription for the list?!

If you love her, how much be bb curve wey you dey shout like say dem tell you to buy EOD.

If they'v askd you to build a story building nko or buy Jeep or range rover?

Hahaha! this sounds so funny & phoney to me at the same time, how can they include bb and ipod in their family dowry?lol when did that become a traditional thing and if its true then you're absolutely with a wrong girl but to me this isn't real, bro. . . . . Nice joke anyway.

@all it was surprising to me but i was more surprised when i heared other ppls story, some said of my friends said were jisting me that once they hear u are a banker or any profession they think would have money the include apple laptop, buggatti in ur list

LOL this is why I always look to marry from a good family.
Who can buy their own damn Ipads and leave me and my wife well enough alone

Nah but seriously though, when you know you've got a good thing on your hands, all that ipads and wuteva won't keep you from wifing her.
Was she ibo by any chance?

alagha:

chillbabe:

For real this bribeprice thing is so anoying am not for sale neither are my daughters i beg

pls is she single?

@ OP. ha! U never Jam! Nobody wants goats and yams anymore, pfffttt! The food will eventually finish, and the cloths? the inlaws may never even wear them. But as for the Ipads and Blackberrys--these are tangible things--things that will last, U know!
Anyways, why are you even fussing sef, isn't 3 cows the equivalence of an Ipad?(price-wise)? No big deal!

In this day and time!!!! no wonder boiz no wan marry again!!! who dey lose? their daughter go old for house!!!!! in fact all the benefits you get im marriage are now offered to guys free by some girls, cooking, cleaning, good luvin, etc without the commitment!!!!! so if you see a responsible guy wan marry you and you begin demand like Oprah Winfrey, you are on your own!!!!

Wait, how much is a cow?

^^ around 70k, (i think). Depends on the size of course. (I wonder why I'm answering this question)

That's $500. An iPad is certainly not equivalent to 3 cows (I wonder why I'm continuing with this question)

lol,  pls that was an extremely rough and overstated approximation. .  I was just tryna get my point across. (I'm done wondering)

This whole bride price thing is so annoying to me. I can understand doing something as a significance so really even a cowrie shell should do. It used to be worth something before. The blackberry thing is so embarrassing. That is why eloping might not be a bad thing. Blackberry indeed

if this story is true, and as you have mentioned village, it should be from the east where they sell their daughter.

so, for BB sake you no marry. What a shame.

@Babypinkyz,hw are u doing?can we chat?

Interesting. Buh d truth is, even if I were Dangote, tell me to buy blackberries for d entire community n. I will buy for extra 2 more communities, but not making it a compulsion in exchange for ur daughter. it entails gross poverty, for the family to see blackberries important enough to be on that list. Poverty.

Congrats OP, dat u left,I know it's not cos of the ipad n bb money u left,but because of the seemingly extortional n opportunistic attitude of ur "would-av-been" inlaws, ur ex also didn't help matters,but mayb those gadgets where where included by younger people. I av seen some "donatn" aircon as part of d list n I'v heard of someone,a rich guy with GE calln it off cos of plasma tv included on d list,not cos he can't buy it,but felt exploited that mordern n costly tns found their way into a list that should be traditional;all just cos of some people's GREED. Tell this story to ur next gurl,she should learn.
