Man shares photo of his bride price list that includes 10k for father-in-law cigarette, sparks reactions.

The list which was divided into two sections had the sum of N10,000 earmarked for father-in-law cigarette.

The bride price list, from the image he posted, was divided into two parts. One had items for the father-in-law and the second for the mother-in-law.

Some interesting items and their price tags as seen on both sections included N10,000 for father-in-law cigarette, a table for counting money at N15,000, a knife at N20,000, opening of the house at N50,000. All totalled over a million naira.

Taking to Twitter, the Abuja based logo and graphics designer with the handle @ekibyleo shared a photo of the list as he lamented saying:

Na marry I say I wan marry, wetin be this na?

Problem no dey finish

I don't understand "identifying with the..." What does it mean?

This is one of the reasons bride price needs to be scrapped out of existence. It no longer serves any purpose other than impoverishing hardworking couples.

With this kind of list, how many Nigerian men earning the minimum wage can afford to marry?

Rotfl.

All I see is poverty alleviation scheme in the name of marriage.

My own marriage list, na only small palm oil, can malt and 5 tubers of yam reach my mother.

The rest were collected and chopped by my father's extended family, 98% of them won't even know me if I was staring them in the face.

A bunch of hungry clowns that didn't contribute 1 naira to my feeding or education.

For this 2021 who still dey marry

I thought marrying ended with 2020.

Na you use your own hands and legs go knock as for trouble

This list is ridiculous, they had to show the world the dad is a heavy smoker, and they are out to exploit the man. Is the dad a black belt holder that they want to but knife for 20k, haba na, this is why some people in Nigeria see their wives as properties they purchased

Happy married life to your parents hanty.

Na Ekiti people fit give this kind list. Those people from that area are very stuborn

Is a woman for sale in Yoruba land? Tufiakwa

Wednesday seem to have been dedicated to reviewing marriage list.

Lol

The ingredient that makes the Rice grow in the pot is what I need for my bank account.�

u show say u be big man,dem come give u big man bill u come dey complain....
Even if any family bride price na #20,if person like Davido show up,the #20 go turn to #20 million....so enjoy your fame!

And you brought it to social media, you never ready, who they marry man wey no fit keep family issues private, If I am the lady, I will break up with you because you don't deserve her. Do you really have to bring it to social media? If you feel the list is unrealistic, take a walk, you did not help them to raise their child, and you don't have the right to judge them. you can always review this with your family members only and negotiate ....

Back to the matter
This list is ridiculous.

20k for knife for father in-law.. Does he want to divide Nigeria with the knife?

10k for Cigarettes.. Is he starting cigarette business or he is a jalopy exhaust pipe? How much is Rothmans factory sef that they're collecting 10k for cigarettes

17 bags of Salt (Mother in-law): Are they doing practical to mold Lot's Wife?

Identifying with father in-law: 30k.

Identifying with in-laws: 20k.

These guys are NOT in-laws: they're OUTLAWS. Very greedy family. Just give the girl belle, na dem go come dey beg u to bring any amount.

If you no fit pay them waka now....

Some tribes see giving out their daughters hands in marriage as means of enriching themselves so the onus lie on men dating from such tribes to either first impregnate the ladies (as this will reduce the asking price from her family) before proposing marriage or desist from marrying from such gluttonous tribes.

Mbaise or Anambra?
