So you are selling the girl?
What if the family has a son?
Will they sell him off too?
Or suddenly, between the 2 children, boy and girl, their parents will love the girl and hate the boy?
Explain your statement.
They're not selling her. Only poor men reason like you. Pride price and marriage is a cultural norms and right. A reasonable family won't give out their daughter's hand in marriage to a man that won't be able to take care of her.

At this rate, let Nigerian guys forget Nigerian girls.
Nigerian girls are expensive and useless.

Cameroon, Niger, Benin Republic, Ghana.

The Question should be
How do Bricklayers, Gravediggers and Palmwine Tappers in those communities get to marry 2 wives each?
because they are destined to die poor.

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.
How old are you?

That amount is very considerate. There is no labor charge there, which exist in some climes.

He got a good offer to be honest, I see no reason to complain. The expense is less than 2 month's of average rent in London.
A woman who supports her family to give you this herculian list will also join them in eating your money once she gets married to you. I think she never loved him all the while though

You have been living a life of lies based on the false teachings of a paedophile, robber and murderer who lived 1400yrs ago in Mecca/Medina, yet you're accusing a normal person of being born with lies?
Nawa for this deceived jihadi guy oo.

I just watched a video of an Egyptian now who got himself extricated from this 1400yrs old lies your jihadists have been living, and i wish i could send it to you.

Expectedly, you jihadists will soon behead him for exposing your lies on account of blasphemy.
Is that how they are beheaded in your villages? No one is beheading anyone like John the baptist! Stop telling lies!

All what you typed are lies!

In the 36 states in Nigeria over 25 states and Abuja has millions of Muslims!

Give us the stats how many have been beheaded like John the baptist or crucified like Jesus?

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.

dominique:
Look at what people are defending egbami🙆🏽
So there are no ways the family can use to determine if the groom is financially capable other than imposing this heavy billing on him? The family and culture are greedy, let's call a spade a spade
The marriage list was there before he met the lady, if you marry a lady from my part of the world, you are married not only to her but to her family and kins. In the old days, they are certain privileges that are accorded to Inlaws even till today. The family didn’t manufacture that list, so if the young man feels he can’t do it, let him leave the young girl alone. The wahala in marriage is over bride price x100, so if bride price is a problem, certainly their future is bleak.

You guys are living in a fake world, a make believe world. In reality, Nigeria is the number one poverty capital of the world. Over 128 million Nigerians are considered poor according to the world Bank, and you come online pretending Nigeria is Switzerland. How many Nigerians can afford to spend N2m on traditional wedding alone? Not to talk of religious and court wedding. A lot of Nigerians after engaging in criminal activities or corruption come online and pretend as if Nigeria is richer than the US and UK put together. Bride price was meant to be a token according to original African culture and not a return on investment scheme.

The matter here is not the cheap wife... There's nothing like a cheap wife to begin with... Your Yoruba kins are so stupid that they don't know what it means to be married...

Millions of jihadists??! That's the kind of bad news no country would like to receive, because the higher the number of jihadists in a country, the more the chaos, divisions, intolerance, destructions, killings and underdevelopment.

Yea, as for the beheadings, you jihadists behead those who expose the lies in your religion, including those who abandon the religion or convert to another religion. You brand them ''kafir'' and their actions ''blasphemy'' and go after them.
That's well known all over the world where you exist.

I consider the fact that bride price is supposed to be up to 50 million naira. Marriage is worth more than the price of a tokunbo Prado.

But I know your family will give out your sister for 100K and a pack of indomie to show she is not for sale. You all are myopic for not seeing that the money is basically for consumables. The drinks and food is meant for guests and some cloths for parents.

Poverty should not have companion, cos its suicidal these days if one does not have cash in this era.
Are you telling us now If the girl was to marry from the same village like one of those elders family leaving in the village will it still be 3.5m ? 😂 😂 😂

Some of their guys in the village are petty farmer who can't barely avoid daily meal.... But see them, they will be calling the man poor 😂

Villa12:
you're not ready for marriage truly. That amount is not much considering inflation in the country. People negotiate bride price list. My cousin a yoruba guy negotiated and he ended up paying 1.5m for the whole list. This happen last year.

Are you looking for free wife to marry?? So you don't know it's respectful you marry your wife properly?
This right here is the mentality responsible for the societal drawbacks we have in this country today. Marriages have now become trade avenues for families of women to massively cash-in while sapping the life out of the long term union.

When men have to pay through their noses to marry women, give me one reason why those men won't dehumanize and treat the women like acquired properties in the matrimonial home!

Very unfortunate mindset!

Bro if you know nothing about paying bride price just shift.

You think it's everything on the list you'll provide?
Even rich men don't provide everything.

They'll say bring 5 you'll bring 3 some will say bring 20 yams, you'll reduce it to 15 or 10 etc.
