A family from the South-eastern part of Nigeria has ignored the crisis of economic recession to allegedly demand for a shocking bride price of N2 million from an averagely earning suitor. A man who is prepared to marry an Igbo girl is currently devastated after the family stalled the wedding plans with an outrageous financial demand under the guise of ‘dowry’. The man who is pushed to the wall has written a letter to Joro Olumofin in pains to seek the advice of his followers. Read his message below:
I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

I see the problem is that u are cheap plus u don't have any money. If microwave and stove come first on top of your priority and the woman u want to marry becomes the opportunity cost, then u are not ready for marriage. Secondly, u have equated the value of your wife-to-be to a bag of rice and wine. I see a cultural probe of your background: u came from a different cultural background where women sponsor/train themselves academically through whatever means, therefore eliminating the role of the parents in decision making of their lives. If that is the case, and in such cases, then parents can settle for a bag of rice and a bottle of wive. However, if any parents have spent their live savings to sponsor the education of their daughter, u will be called cheap to offer them a bag of rice and your bottle of wine. Before I could say more, please tell pals what level of educations the girl has? What type job does she do? and what u do yourself. Before I leave u alone, u must know that some Igbo parents just call out amount for bride price for a few reasons, not excluding the following: to test how serious or committed the man is, to chase away somebody they don't want their daughters married to, to cut their losses if they perceive the in-law may never extend arms anymore after the marriage and so many other ulterior motives.
