Precious Ubani, a South-East Nigerian lady, has reacted to claims that the Igbo traditional wedding list is on the high side.

Backing up her claim, she shared a marriage list from her village, which she obtained from her father. She sarcastically marvelled at how cheap it was and went on to spell out each item on the list.
The list comprises four sections, namely Umu Ada, Ama Ala, and that of the mother-in-law and father-in-law.

The Umu Ada's section had items like 300 tubers of yam, three fat cows, four ladies' machines, and three 25 litres of palm oil, amongst others.
At the tail end, it was suggested that the monetary equivalent of the list could be provided if the groom wishes to do so instead of providing all the items. The dowry was pegged at N1k. Precious' TikTok post caused quite a stir.
