A Nigerian woman, identified as Chidinma, has expressed surprise at the ‘outrageous’ bride price list her brother-in-law received from his wife-to-be’s family.
Taking to Facebook, Chidinma revealed that the family of her brother-in-law’s fiancée, hailing from Rivers State, gave him an extensive list of items for their traditional marriage rites.
According to her, she had always believed that families from Imo State held the record for the highest bride price lists, given their reputation for lavish marriage ceremonies. However, her perception shifted upon seeing the list from Rivers State.
Sharing photos of just 2 out of the 13 parts of the bride price list, she revealed that she chose not to share the remaining part for personal reasons.
She wrote,
“My brother in-law is getting married to the love of his life who’s from rivers state , he just sent the bride price list to the group and everyone is angry. Wait ! I thought Imo state has the highest list for bride price , what is this list that has 13 steps before someone can marry. Aah aah!!!! Me sef I’m vexing on his behalf, it’s too long and expensive! I cropped some parts because yunno, this thing has step one to thirteen !!! Big big things.”
