15naira! Am not lieing, the bride was an imbe'cile, what really happen was that the groom was caught when he was about to take advantage of her imbeci'leness ( was a rape case ).

so the villagers took it upon them self and force the groom into marriage with her. Report had it that the bride price was paid by the bride's father who was extremly happy about at the trun of event. When contacted by our correspodent, the bride's father was quoted as saying '' it was indeed a great day for me and my family and i think that how God want it''. A shout was heard from the background '' na lie oo. Na conspiracy theory oo i no wan marry oo ''. It was atually the groom speaking.

Report reaching us was that the groom was found hanging on a tree livelessly a day after the wedding in the dreaded Ovu evil forest and a note inscription was found in his pocket '' i wish i never atempted rape, am better dead than alive''

I know you read it to the end right? Oya like!

My cousin tarred a road for her wife's family in Akwa Ibom. But the wife works with Shell, so money wasn't a problem.

My cousin spent close to 20M marry her.
