The bride price list, from the image he posted, was divided into two parts. One had items for the father-in-law and the second for the mother-in-law.

Some interesting items and their price tags as seen on both sections included N10,000 for father-in-law cigarette, a table for counting money at N15,000, a knife at N20,000, opening of the house at N50,000. All totalled over a million naira.

The tweet has since sparked debates among many on social media.

A lady @NihinlolaOlowe knocked the man saying:

"If I am the lady, I will break up with you because you don't deserve her. Do you really have to bring it to social media? If you feel the list is unrealistic, take a walk, you did not help them to raise their child, and you don't have the right to judge them."
