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?

What nonsense?

Nobody begged you to come marry.

In India, women pay dowry while In some parts of Nigeria, a man must show the strength of his arm financially before he can marry a woman.
Different strokes for different folks.

It used to be barns of yams in the olden days as depicted in Chinua Achebe "things fall apart" and has now modernized to other material things.

What ever works. AS LONG AS FAILED MEN ARE WEEDED OUT.

If in your place, they give out women two for five naira, all well and good.
Your sense of good is not universal.

jezz!!!!!!!!!
1 million naira for a wedding is not a waste.

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.

Na so.... I jazz out from my akwaibom fiancee, after all the calculations...



Happily married from North with cheaper rate....

My dear in my side bride price is 10k and the items in the list is roughly about 90k (and even this is negotiable). Shikena. You don't need to sell off your father's properties to marry a woman in Delta State.

What is happening these days is daylight robbery. It's nauseating

Same here ooo

MPESA:
What about the white Wedding that average Nigerian spend more than 1m so Mr investor what are we going to call that one...
Forget we are Africans so we have a tradition and culture we practice be it western African or Eastern or southern or Northern African we all have our different tradition, culture and believes.

IntrovertedK:
thank you ooo. I see it as poverty alleviation scheme. If the man is rich and wish to do unthinkable, cool. Buh imposing? nah. More like trade by batter. You bring what you have in exchange for what you need just like you've rightly said. This is even not what you have, cuz at the end they'd end up sweating to get what the other party needs to give them what they need/want. Rubbish. Total rubbish in the name of culture.

That’s because I frequent sexuality section . It seems like sexuality section is under romance section .

Can’t remember the last time I was scrolling threads on the main romance section ! I just click sexuality and move to ashawo thread.
