This would’ve made more sense in family section .

This romance section is filled with frustrated ,useless,dumb and broke dunderheads that won’t be able to make any meaningful impact on intellectual conversations/debates.

Ishi, the thing we need to know is, some of our Igbo brothers are very egoistic. I have seen several cases where the man brought double the list (no jokes). Sometimes because he believes his wife is of so much value, other times for show off.

These items are not always the actual list.

MajorJeffery:
This is too small for IMO state especially Mbaise so it's either Abia or Anambra. An intending suitor will have to nearly bleed to death monetarily in IMO especially Mbaise.

I wonder why people do this- can a person's worth be tied to material things? Isn't bride price supposed to be symbolic? Why the extortion?

Ishilove:

Igbo kwenu!

Na just plain greed a d wickedness. "let's eat him now we are seeing him, because after he marries this our daughter, he won't come back here..."

Online aproko outlets claim this happened in Enugu, others swear it is Imo.

Regardless of where this happened, the lines between tradition and downright extortion is blurred in many cases.

Let me do a quick inventory-

A big nanny goat
2 trays of Nittol detergent
A basin of coconut
Three suitcases of Hollandis wrappers and assorted wax prints
One bag of rice
Two crates of drinks
One crate of beer

Is that a salon size pack of Profectiv Mega Growth relaxer i see there...??

Yep it is. I wonder when hair relaxer became a part of omenala. (tradition)

Emm, I sight giant can of peak milk
Something that looks like custard
A basin of big sized Canoe bar soap

I can't keep up. My eyes are aching and I'm tired of squinting.

So what happens to the struggling man who can't afford these cutthroat lists?

Lols. I am from Enugu sir and we don't sale our women

What kind of wretched thing is this?

Why waste 1 million for a wedding when you can use that money to invest in something profitable.

As for the thread this one na exchange of goods and services.In other words her husband has bought her.

Is marriage not an investment? Please tell the investment that is bigger than marriage. Even the Bible say he find a wife find a good thing and is blessed.
