<p>Despite the challenges of long-distance relationships, the man was fully committed and even had plans to bring the woman abroad for further studies.</p>
<p>However, things took a turn when the woman’s family presented him with a bride price list amounting to â¦3.5 million.</p>
<p>The man expressed his concerns to the influencer, revealing that the bride herself supported her family’s demands, citing the high cost of living in Nigeria as justification.</p>
<p>In his frustration, the man lamented that such demands were akin to “<em>selling a child</em>” and questioned how such a union could begin with financial exploitation. He argued that his plans to invest in the woman’s future abroad should have been a more significant consideration.</p>
<p><strong>The full statement from the influencer reads: </strong></p>
<p>“<em>There’s this guy on my platform who met a lady here in Nigeria while he’s in the UK. Despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship, he was committed to her. </em></p>
<p><em>“He even sought my advice, and I encouraged him to go for it. But yesterday, he reached out to me, distraught, after receiving a bride price list from her family totaling â¦3.5 million. </em></p>
<p><em>“We had a lengthy and emotional discussion. His pain wasn’t just the list itself but the fact that the woman he loves supports her family’s demands, claiming everything is expensive in Nigeria.”</em></p>
<p><em>“Why should anyone demand such an outrageous amount just for marriage? Doesn’t that set the tone for the man to treat her like he ‘bought’ her? It’s a shame, and I hope women learn from this. This man had genuine plans to take her abroad and pay for her education. Now, because of greed, the family has lost a good man.”</em></p>
<p>“<em>He told me yesterday he’s no longer interested and plans to block her. He said he would cry, heal, and move on with his life. I feel bad for the lady—if only she had a more understanding family and stood up for herself. She’s about to lose a good man without even knowing it.” </em></p>
<p>The story has since sparked debate online, with many criticizing the tradition of exorbitant bride price demands and urging families to focus on long-term benefits rather than immediate financial gain.</p>
