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?

HeWrites:

What?

Nsobu dikwa

Glad I jumped the bullet

They would say it is because they are classy &one of a kind that's why they command this expensive dowry.

After paying that kind bride price, I believe I've bought over their daughter and she no longer belongs to them. [size=15pt]MAKE ANY OF THEM NO NEAR MY PLACE OR CALL MY LINE OR ELSE I GO SEND THUNDER TO BLAST THEM[/size].

Is N1m not too expensive to marry somebody you will still feed?


Seriously, these things are negotiable. Unless you wan form Alpha male

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.

Oh my Sinaj

O! My hewrites

Rich men like us don't complain

How is it a business for the family do they resell it or what? This is tradition nothing bad init

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

Get a room, you two

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.

HeWrites:

Enugu

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

Yea.... If this one for instance is the actual list, it would be more.

What kind of wretched thing is this?

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.
