Internet users have expressed a wide range of opinions about an old bride price list from Imo state.
An Imo state indigene shared the bride price list on Facebook, saying the anguish and gnashing of teeth it gives men excites her.
Some items on the list include two gallons of palm wine, one bottle of Seaman Schnapps and four crates of minerals.
A Nigerian lady, Ijeoma Chinonyerem, has proudly shown off an Imo state bride price list used in 2013.
Ijeoma, on Facebook, took delight in the fact that the list makes men gnash their teeth and leaves them in anguish.
The list was reportedly used for a marriage that took place in Umunwokoji Egbu, Owerri North on September 23, 2013.
The marriage list which was divided into three parts requested numerous edibles from the husband-to-be including eight cartons of Star beer, one bottle of Seaman Schnapps and eight kolanuts.
The dowry amount was left blank, with a note to discuss it with the bride’s parents. This led to a variety of opinions from internet users.
