Nigerians consider traditional marriage as the most important marriage rite. The standard Nigerian traditional marriage involves activities like paying the bride price and submitting items on the list.

The list consists of material items the groom and his family are to bring to the bride's family before the traditional marriage can commence.

The list varies from clan to clan, and the marriage list of some places in eastern and southern Nigeria has items that border on extravagance.

In a trending video, the groom, who has been given the street chieftaincy title of 'Odogwu' for being able to afford every single item on the list, brought the things for the fulfilment of the traditional marriage rites of his bride.

The bride's family, with pride, decided to put the items on public display for all and sundry to see.

The bride and her bridal train even took turns to pose for pictures with the items, which included cartons of hot drinks, crates of alcohol, beer and malt.

Also, there were different brands of packets of soap (for laundry and bathing), white talcum powder, three big travelling boxes, lots of stylish handbags, bags of rice, lots of wrappers, plenty of coconuts, basins of dried abacha (dried and shredded cassava), numerous big tubers of yams, custard, jerry cans of oil, salt, body cream and pomade, and so much more than what could be captured on camera.
