Such a man is not a serious husband material. How much is 580k in naira that he would avoid/ignore gis in-laws?
If he was not ready to marry wife, why did he commit himself?

And to those supporting the man, I don't get why a young lady would undergo all the home and school training in her father's house, and someone would expect the family to just dash her out without some serious commitment from the suitor.

Is she goods and services? How could you pay that much for (a most likely) liability?

Godwin25king:
Even Otedola won't demand 580k from Mr Eazy as bride price. Na mostly broke and poverty stricken families dey demand as much as that.

Believing:
Sometimes I wonder who came up with this exorbitant bride price idea

dmi2052:
I had an ibo friend (UCHE) back then who was doing well with okada bussiness at ekosodin community (back of UNIBEN) He has about 7 other bikes apart from the one he uses himself.He was a big boy until he decided to go back and marry his village girlfriend. Long story short be say after the successful marriage billlings. Uche ended up riding bike for other people

Pidginwhisper:
Way to go. I plan to do this as well. If you like peg your bride price at 2M with list inclusive, i just pay up without complaining, then wait till after wedding and tell you proper that if any of your family mistakenly call my phone to ask for money or i see them close to my house, na toh machete them. Nonsense

A woman lamented on social media about how her husband abandoned her relatives after paying an extortionate fee of 580k as bride price.

If you have good in laws and have the money to help them that's fine, I see nothing big about it but on the contrary if you don't have or don't wish to help that's still fine cos you owe no man a dime, every man should make their money and take care of their family.

Owologbo:

The wife no go see her parents sef, unless I permitted her.

franchasofficia:
Just 580k and your husband is bleating already ? Abeg nne go back to your Pastor, your husband need prayers for financial breakthrough first before your family wahala can come in. Your husband is still struggling financially, he needs some break to stand not because the 580k is too much.



Dear Nigerian men, 580k as bride price is not too much oh, abeg na somebody train that chick u wan marry so lol. 580k should be for knocking at the door self to know if my daughter is around

Marriage is not for everyone

This thing is not by force

SoapQueen:

What if she gives birth? Who will do Omugwo for her?

advanceDNA:


u sounding as if the man was not born by parents that also spent money to train him

...both family are doing each other a favour by giving out their son and daughter to marry...nobody should be exploited or told to pay becos marriage involve so much more after the ceremony ....

a son in law is supposed to become family and shouldn't be treated like a transaction .... we are just hiding under culture to exploit people

now that's he's treating the girls family like a transaction too...u come dey para... the guy no owe dem anything...his responsibility is to care for his wife and kids...
