^ Come again?

When we say Igboland, pls be specific. Marriage list in Igboland varies from place to place.

^ So you agree that this is too much right?

toluxa1: ^ So you agree that this is too much right?

Is that what you infered from my post? What is too much and what is not. Is the moderate marriage list in the bible or written in the NIgerian constitution?

We are not complaining...Go make money aand stop being broke!

My hometown dont even pay up to one-quater of that list

more like equivalent to actual sale of the bride.

HIDDEN

This list although mischievously exaggerated cannot still surpass 200k which is about 1,300 dollars. I think it is rather too little an amount for a wedding. To hire a useful hall for white wedding is about 1.5 million($10,000) which is about 7.5. times the value of your list.

The list is different from "amount for a wedding". You should know that. They are two different things entirely. By the way, Bros, 1.5milla for hall? Haba! My Uncle used the Hall directly opposite Government house in Ilorin for his wedding and they didn't pay up to 500k.
