A Nigerian man based in the UK halts wedding plans over N3.5M cost of bride price. This UK-based man totally frowns against the exorbitant cost given to him by his bride’s family as a result of this calling off the wedding with their daughter.

Recently, pictures surfaced on social media that showed the list of items expected from the bride’s family, causing the would-be groom to rethink his decisions.

According to a post made by a matchmaker on platform X, this UK-based Nigerian man was planning to marry a woman from his home country and even had plans to take her abroad with him.

However, the steep price of the bride made him reconsider his plans.
Social media reactions to the post shed light on diverse perspectives regarding the high bride price.

Some users questioned the tribal customs involved in the pricing; others simply criticised the family’s apparent greed. Amid these voices, many lamented the loss of a promising relationship due to materialistic demands.

In other relationship news, a Nigerian woman recently shared her seven-month relationship saga, revealing that her boyfriend had only dated her out of a dare.

Another woman proudly displayed three engagement rings from her previous relationships, sharing the unique stories behind them.

Read the full statement below, according to the x influencer, which reads: 

“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.

“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 ₦3.5 million.  

“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.”

“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.”

“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.” 

The story has since sparked debate online, with many criticising the tradition of exorbitant bride price demands and urging families to focus on long-term benefits rather than immediate financial gain.

A groom-to-be was killed in a horrifying wrong-way crash in Manhattan early Saturday, August 24, just one day before his wedding, leaving his heartbroken bride shattered.

Would-be groom Kirk Walker and his cousin, Rob McLaurin, were killed by a wrong-way driver on the Henry Hudson Parkway in Harlem.

On Sunday, August 25, on what should have been their wedding day, the devastated would-be bride Shauntea Weaver, 40, said: “I’m supposed to be in my wedding dress right now — not in mourning.”

“I feel like this is a TV show, and I’m going to wake up any minute and go back to my real life,” she told The Post.

“Every hour since it happened, I’m having a different emotion take me over.”

Walker, a 38-year-old father of three from Manhattan, was celebrating his bachelor party ahead of his nuptials with McLaurin, 40 when their Dodge Challenger was hit head-on at about 2:20 am by a pickup truck barreling down the wrong way of the parkway according to police and a Facebook post.

Both men died during the collision.

The despondent bride said that Walker and Weaver were set to tie the knot in a massive ceremony at the Royal Manor wedding venue in Garfield, New Jersey.

A catering hall representative confirmed that the ceremony had been cancelled due to “a fatal crash.”

“Our ceremony was supposed to be at 5:00 pm today — in a few hours,” Weaver said. “He died 24 hours before our wedding. It’s devastating, and not just for me. He has three children who loved him immeasurably. They are heartbroken that their father’s been taken.”

“He was such a generous, hard-working man,” she continued. “He had a heart of gold and would do anything for anybody. Such a hard worker.”

She added that the couple had started a successful car rental business that had prospered thanks to Walker’s challenging work.

“He put his blood, sweat, and tears into it — we both did,” Weaver said.

Now, it’s about getting justice for her deceased beau.

“The detectives looked me right in my face and said that they were going to do everything they could to get justice,” she said. “They told me the driver left his DNA on the airbags. So they have that. Also, the passenger is in the hospital with broken legs, and he needs to speak up.”

“Two lives were lost in a reckless car crash,” she continued. “They need to pay for killing two innocent people.”

“Nothing will bring him back. But we are seeking justice.”

Walker’s neighbour, Tommy Lee, said Sunday that his friend was uniformly loved in the community.

“He was family-oriented, helpful,” Lee said. “Smart. Amazing dude.”

Some people outside his apartment hadn’t heard the news yet, and they lamented when told of his passing.

Meanwhile, friends and family took to social media to lament Walker’s passing.

“At 5:30 am, I received the most heartbreaking call that two of my cousins were killed in a car accident,” Akilañ Ke-Ki Woods wrote on Facebook.

“He was getting married today! How does our family go from preparing a celebration to now planning two funerals?” she continued. “His fiancé, I can’t imagine her pain right now. Both cousins had children, both parents and siblings!”

“My family is hurting and broken right now,” she added. “I can’t go one hour without breaking down in tears.”

Another woman, Alexis Stewart, identified Walker on Facebook as a “neighborhood ‘nephew’ to all the homies in the hood” and noted that his cousin died alongside him.

As did the passenger, the pickup truck’s driver took off after the accident and remains on the loose.

But cops caught up with the passenger about 30 feet from the crash, cops said.

Authorities brought that person to the hospital.
