The worst part is that the lady might have a body count longer than the river Niger! undecided

Even well brought up Virgins in some parts of the nation are not that highly 'priced'.

The idea is not to form strong man and pay for everything, you can monetize a lot of items and get huge discounts here and there. Last last you won't spend up to 2m.

As a man, these things are normal and should be considered a right of passage. Don't go and be fretting anyhow over such issues.

Did your father pay bride price twice? 500k to bride father and another 300k to bride mother?

WHAT IS 500K TO YOUR FATHER INLAW AND 300K TO YOUR MOTHE INLAW?

U MEAN, U HAVE TO BE REMINDED TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING.

U ARE ALREADY GOING INTO A MARRIAGE WITH A WICKED AND STINGY HEART.

YET YOU WIL COLLECT THE EARNING OF THEIR DAUGHTER THAT IS A DOCTOR OR NURSE AS YOUR MONEY.

MAKE INLAW LIKE YOU NO NEAR MY DOOR WAY IS A A PRAYER POINT.

SOME OF YOU WERE ALWAYS GOING TO BE BAD INLAWS, U JUST WANT TO TAKE AND GIVE NOTHING NOT EVEN A TOKEN OF APPRECIATION OR LOVE. THAT IS NOT A GOOD START.

How are children the kids of men only and not their kids (both the man and the woman)

When it comes to enjoying benefits of the children, you won’t say that the children belong to only the man but when it comes to things like this you will say women give birth to children for men!

Ownership of kids are to the father except they answer the mother's name. As long as the title is legally the male, then children belong to the father by law. It is not supposed to be so.

The ideal thing is to abrogate bride price. But as long as we take and give bride price, we have collectively accept that our daughters are for sale at a discount in some cases. but with high profile billionaires, some parents do make profits both in cash and in kind and connections.

Na why you no fit marry into top wealthy families if you have no class. These are facts we refuse to talk about.

Are you honest? I want to assume that you nairalanders are either too removed from reality or just kids. How much is the price of a used car?

You hardly see a good used car at less than 15m naira. Are you saying a woman that will love you and give birth to your kids that are raised by their parents in this bad economy will be given out to you at cheap cos it is supposed to be free?

When you all raise, train and educate your little girls, you can give them to men who are not worth shit. If a man does not know the value of a woman, he can as well be gay.

that's just the list o...the guy must have done is calculation..cuz if only list is close to 4m then the entire wedding will cost nothing less than 17m the guy don cal begin japa nor be u get him pocket

The guy is not ready, my own marriage was even more expensive. If you know about marrying a riverine woman from rivers state, you'd know what I mean.

The idea is not to form strong man and pay for everything, you can monetize a lot of items and get huge discounts here and there. Last last you won't spend up to 2m.

I was asked to bring 4 cartons of original cognac, plus other drinks. That's why they don't marry alone, you go with your experienced family and people from your woman's side that know the secrets to how these things are done.

As a man, these things are normal and should be considered a right of passage. Don't go and be fretting anyhow over such issues.

You are part of the problem...!

Such things are just stupid, and they contribute to the increasing desperation for wealth and crimes among young men in the society.

Please, don't tell me it's the culture or tradition... No culture or tradition is carved in stone! They are all dynamic and subject to modification, especially with the current state of the nation's economy.

Well... A lot of their ladies will keep marrying late, or end up marrying badly.

Marriage is not cheap. The list is basically consumables. I do not think wedding is necessary. It is a western culture. All festivities should be carried out at the parents home and all enjoyment completed there and they go home.

In a story sparking intense online discussion, a man has reportedly withdrawn from a marriage proposal due to a highly demanding traditional bride price list provided by the woman's family.

The incident, shared by social media user
Princess Adeola, highlighted the emotional toll on the man and drew attention to cultural practices cthat some argue may discourage potential suitors.

The bride price list, meant to honor the family, included numerous items such as crates of drinks, livestock, clothing, and monetary gifts for various members of the bride’s extended family.

The total value was estimated at ₦3.5 million.

The prospective groom, reportedly eager to marry and even committed to taking the bride abroad and sponsoring her education, expressed heartbreak after realizing the bride herself supported her family's demands, citing the rising costs of living in Nigeria.

Adeola expressed sympathy for the man, describing him as a "good man" who was willing to go to great lengths for his partner. She criticized the bride's family for what she termed "greed" and urged women to advocate for reasonable expectations from their families.

Many online users joined the discussion, debating the relevance and practicality of traditional marriage customs in modern times.

While some defended the practice as a cultural heritage, others viewed it as a hindrance to relationships and an unnecessary financial burden.

All I wish is that young girls can see the connives of men on them through these comments on this thread.

They are sleeping with you, deflowering you. You both would call it love, you will give it free to prove you love him and you're not a gold digger. To him, it's the food he gave you, which you probably forgot about before being deflowered, that made you to open your legs.

The same men are here on this thread after working together to cheapen you all, saying you're not worth bride price because they deflowered you with indomie and eggs. That was their plan, to cheapen you, so that when you all are ready to marry, they can join together and say you're not worth it, and keep their money in their pockets.

There's no love on the dating scene. The men are on a mission to cheapen their women until they are nothing, so that they can escape proper process. They start by catching the girls young, cheapen them, then turn back to say that our girls are too worthless for the honorable treatment.

Young girls, how I wish you can see that you can't please these people. Free sex in the name of love, look at where it still ended.
