Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had expressed shock online over the marriage list his girlfriend's family gave him.

In a Facebook post, the Imo state indigene said he had, out of surprise, questioned whether the list was authentic. He asked his Facebook friends whether he should continue with the marriage plans.

Interestingly, many stated that the list was cheap and a far cry from the norm in other Igbo communities. Others slammed him for complaining and said he wasn't ready to cater for his wife.
