A Nigerian lady has cried out online after her fiancé reportedly ended their six-year relationship over her bride price lists.
According to her, everything was going smoothly until her family presented the list of items required for their traditional marriage.
In her words, she said:
“My boyfriend broke up with me after seeing my bride price list. We’ve been together for six years. Since yesterday, he stopped picking my calls. It’s not my fault my family wrote this.”
The list, which quickly went viral, contained several expensive and surprising items that many people described as excessive.
She explained that the list was neither her decision nor her fault, as it was her family that made the demands.
Among the requirements were five fat cows, 50 broiler chickens, 30 virgin goats, 5,100 bags of cement, 500 tubers of yam, ₦10 million for the family, ₦5 million for the community, an iPhone 17 Air for the bride’s mother, an iPhone 17 Pro Max for the father, 10 bags of foreign rice, 50 litres of fuel, solar panels, and more.
“He was the one that kept asking me for it, and I sent it to him because he travelled to Abuja. After he saw the list, he just said he couldn’t do it and ended the relationship,” she added.
Her story has since triggered reactions online. One user wrote, “This one no be bride price again, na business.” 😳. Another commented, “Love no fit survive this kind list.”
The story has sparked massive debate online, with many Nigerians questioning rising bride price demands and how they affect relationships and marriage plans.
