An Akwa Ibom woman is feeling heartbroken as her fiancé has begun to avoid her, reportedly due to the requirements of her bride price list.

In a Facebook post by influencer Kelvin Onovo, she shared her feelings of frustration and fear of losing him through an anonymous letter.

She noted that the problems started on November 9, when her fiancé received the traditional bride price list, leading to a noticeable change in his behavior and him ignoring her calls.

In her message to Onovo, she wrote, “Keep me anonymous. This nightmare was collected on the 9th Nov. 24. It’s disheartening because since my guy saw the list he has changed and he’s not picking my calls. I don’t want to lose him. I have no parents too. I have struggled enough 😭.”

The bride price list has ignited conversations on social media, as it reaches millions of naira, with many people pointing out the financial strain it creates for grooms.

A social media user Kolawole Simisola said, “It’s obvious you want him to feed your entire village for years. He is a human just as you are, you better be wise.”

Another user Military Ks And Queens reacted, “This is the main cause of cohabiting rapidly happening in Southern Nigeria. ✍️ “How is Keke that was produced in India part of your culture?uested for 3 motorcycles (okada) and one Keke and the yeye girl he wanted to marry was saying it’s their culture .😡😡.”
