A viral post on social media has stirred widespread debate after a Nigerian man based in the United Kingdom was reportedly handed a wedding expense list totalling ₦21,570,000 by his fiancée’s family in Nigeria

The controversial list was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @HOLARMEEDEY1, who expressed outrage over what he described as an exploitative demand placed on an immigrant who had only recently relocated to the UK less than two years ago.

“You reach UK e never reach 2yrs. You are not from a rich family. And your potential wife is not from a rich family either. But e reach time for wedding your in-laws are giving you quote that want to unalive you and you cannot refuse,” he captioned the list.

The list reportedly included over ₦5 million for the event hall alone, alongside other substantial expenses. According to the post, the groom-to-be was also expected to buy the bride’s wedding gown and foot the bill for her parents’ outfits, with no financial contribution from the bride’s family.

Lol

lol 😂

It can only be from one greedy tribe.

It looks as if this list was gotten from an event planner . Some families can be so greedy, they know their daughter isn't qualified for bride price to be paid on her according to tradition, but they will still demand bride price. Only virgins bring bride price to their families. None virgins are supposed to be given free of charge to men. The reason is because men no longer demand for their rights from prospective in-laws because of civilization

And the junsing man will still go ahead and marry her, SIMP is a sin

Just walk away

I would block her and call off the wedding.

This is for the so called white wedding and not for traditional marriage

The usual reason they give for exorbitant cost in traditional wedding is that they would say "it's our culture".

After the traditional rites, there is absolutely to need for the so called white wedding

If the bride family insists on having a lavish white wedding, then they should pay for it

Na mumu dey dey abroad, come Nigeria come marry.

Kings find a wife in whichever nation you are, almost any Nigerian lady would be ready to follow you abroad. Marry where you are based

I don't understand. Is this real? To rent a hall costs 5 million naira? How much to build one? And which family of dejected, despondent, destitute vipers is this young man marrying from? And they are not contributing a kobo?


Dem even put 2 bouncers for the list.🤣🤣🤣🤣. Poor people want to play rich on someone else's money. If that young man goes ahead with this wedding then the uterus that gave birth to him is cursed.

Even if the guy use their daughter do rituals, she nor go reach 21million self

If he's marrying Tinubu's daughter, then its worth it because after the wedding he will the looting gang to recoup his wedding expenses in 1000 folds

Tell them you are no longer interested...

They will call you and reduce the amount by 50%

Some families are just heartless and unreasonable. So because he's in UK he should spend over 21m on marriage.

Anyways I like myself. Give me that kind of list, I'll just block you and move on. Girls full everywhere. Even the ones who would agree to whatever kind of low key wedding I propose.

If u want exotic wife oga pay ur bill

Dem even send am as PDF, nawaooo. No need to advise you, you know what to do already. Women no dey where you dey for UK?
