A Nigerian man has set the internet on fire after releasing a photo of the marriage requirement list from his prospective in-laws in Imo State.


A Twitter user identified as @SpotterSuper, has taken to the social networking platform to share a photo which shows the requirements expected from a man who intended to marry in Imo state Nigeria..
According to him the picture was taken in Imo state, where a groom was delivering the requirements demanded of him to marry his bride.
From the photo, one can spot several boxes filled with goodies, crates of drinks, live goat as well as several ankara print materials.

The photo which has been trailed with mixed reactions and criticisms from online users saw many questioning why getting married in some parts of Nigeria costs the groom and his family so much, while others agreed that it is unfair to pay so much and still be expected to preserve the wedding.

The authenticity of the viral photo or where in Imo the image was captured, were not ascertained by zenithnaija as at the time of filing this report.

I reserve my comments so as not to sound tribalistic, but....



never mind.

The lady is definitely from Mbaise in IMO State.

Cheap

Just the Wrappers

Where in IMO? Stop generalising it

Nwanne, keep ya daughter..are we opening shoprite here?

This is why its preferable to marry from the Yoruba tribe. All you need is a few handful of ewedu leaves and the girl is yours.

Na to dey soak garri after wedding remain

Igbo ANKARA

This is small nau! I'm just seeing wrappers!
Anyways, the wrappers are given only to the bride's mother and also other goodies.

And then women are given stock fish, yam, drinks, etcetera etcetera.

And for my daddy, better hot drinks and isi agu and other goodies too.

If I see anyone that will say it's too much ehn, you'll tell me whether they forced you to marry.

Abeg if you no get money, no try marry. Just remain single and broke.


Them broke and jobless boys are quoting me already! Jobless things! If you know you don't have money to perform the necessary rites, stay broke and single! PERIODt! Marriage isn't for everyone! Only for REAL men.

I said what I said! Drink acid if you don't agree.

Is it for all her villagers.

Only the Igbos raise daughters for sale just as Fulani terrorists raise cows for sale. All na business. Lol.

I don't get all these bride price brouhaha... D parents will not force U to marry their daughter neither will dey put a gun to ur head to come and collect d list.. If U feel d list dem give u too much, why come online to complain about It? Is d internet d council of elders in ur village? If d gal wants to marry U she will find a way around d list presented for U..

Hungry people always ready to milk people dry.

Ohh boy!

Wawuu

mine was almost similar to this... couple with the fact that MMM swindle my money

I heard it's negotiable

no wonda my bro no wan marry



..

one question a reasonable bride should ask herself is,.. would this people benefiting one way or the other from her elaborate wedding, come around to help her new family should her husband lose his job, fall ill or dies? if the answer is yes then I see no problem, but if its the evil chop clean mouth wicked village people then its a waste

Let me come and be going

This is outrageous!

No wonder my very good friend, Ifeanyi, an Imo guy, is almost reaching 35 with no plan whatsoever towards settling down.

They should borrow a leaf from Tivland; 100k or nothing!

Just reading comments

Chai...

All these bride price for a girl who is not even a virgin..
Meanwhile, feminist should keep shut and be submissive to their husbands as men are Lords over women who can be bought with a good price.
Thus says the Bible.

Most women from Imo State make good wives (very low divorce rate, hustling spirit, good mothers, beautiful, and so on) so, if you know that you need gold, be ready to pay more.

Not all parts of IMO State is expensive. This is probably Mbaise axis.

Cheap LGAs to marry from:
Orlu
Oru (East and West)
Okigwe
Ideator (North and South)
Nwangele (Linda Ikeji area)
Orsu
Isu/Njaba
Onuimo( Ain't too sure)

This list however, not exhaustive. Add yours.
