“They gave my friend bride price list of almost ₦2.5m since last year, they haven’t seen my guy till now,” he wrote.

Most time its bants at least where I’m from (Akwa-Ibom). We say “marriage is a debt that cannot be paid in one day, one is forever indebted” It basically has to do with d grooms family showing respect and regard for them. You might even end up not paying half of their demands.
