Talk to your fellow men, once upon a time, your male ancestors sat down to deliberate on how to extort valuables from suitors, they started to expand and elongate the list over the years according to the perceived pocket of the would-be-husband when they saw the profit derived from the venture, so talk to your fellow men.

Tougher economic situations will be an Impedance...

Most times it depends on the parents...If they are contented...Some do slash the agreed lists and dowry...I know s family friend...He never collected dowry for his two sis..His late dad instructed him not to.

And na good In-laws them get...Very healthy inter-family relationships amongst them..

Any young man that says that he cannot get married because of marriage list is actually not serious and ready.

You have been bleeping her for free and you want to take someone's daughter with handkerchief money as a wife.

Anything not paid for is not valued. When I become president I will make bleeping outside marriage a capital offence. grin

True...

When you are ready for particular lady, even her price is high, you won't see it a big deal....

People talk BS about these things when they are truely not ready in all aspects.

I’d say business owners are better off because costs of living keep on increasing(almost on a daily basis), while the salary remains the same.

Nobody is against marriage list, but it should be reasonable. Marriage list shouldn't be a poverty alleviation scheme to enrich families

Shea nuts? They say west African Shea is one of the most sought after.
Since white people discovered it’s benefits, especially for their type of skin, its worth have increased.

I hear kolanut is highly sought after too.
