A Nigerian man living in the United Kingdom has reportedly called off his planned wedding to a Nigeria-based lady over a N3.5 million marriage list.
An X user, Princess Deola, posted the incident on the platform today.
According to her, the man had been in a relationship with the lady, believed to be from Akwa Ibom (going by the list) for a while and was ready to take the major step of marrying her and relocating her to the UK.
However, he was stunned by the long list of items he was to buy for the wife’s family for them to go ahead with the marriage.
When he expressed his consternation to his would-be wife, she allegedly supported her family and told her man the amount was high because the prices of things in Nigeria had gone up owing to inflation.
The man was reportedly disappointed that his would-be wife fail to see how ridiculous the list was.
Princess Adeola said the man had decided to close the chapter and look for another lady.

“There’s this guy on my platform that met a lady here in Nigeria, he’s in UK. You know how it’s difficult trusting or committing to a long-distance relationship these days but against all odds this man was committed to this lady, they’re both in love and when he asked for my advice I told him to go all for it. Yesterday he reached out to me and was not happy with the bride price list her people gave him. A list of 3.5m
What?
We spoke at length and it was not a palatable discussion, I tried to calm him down but his pain was that the woman he wants to marry is also in support of her people saying things are very expensive in Nigeria
Why would anyone ask for all these just to marry a woman? Won’t the man end up treating her like he likes? You basically sold your child. It’s very ridiculous and I hope women learn from this.
This man has plans of taking her abroad and even paying her school fees abroad. Can’t you even think of that bigger picture? Now you have lost a good man cos of greed. Uncle said he’s no longer interested. Ladies pls learn to talk to your parents when they ask your husbands for ridiculous bride price.
Now she’s not even aware the guy is no longer interested, yesterday he told me he would block her and go cry and when he’s fine he would move on with his life.
I wish the lady had a better understanding family and also wished she would’ve stood up for herself considering the guy has plans of taking you abroad. I feel really bad for her.”
