This pride prize issue continues to be a subject or argument every now and then and yet something drastic has not been done to curtail it. Especially when it comes to people from the Eastern part of Nigeria; Anambra, Enugu, Abia State, Imo State ..etc.

Suffice to say, people from Imo State are worst, especially people from a town called Mbaise. I meant no disrespect but this is the truth. People from that place almost always give out their child in marriage as if they are selling them.

Vivian Emesaraonye Dimgba is a lady from Mbaise in Imo State and she has just revealed that her parents gave her husband N800,000 marriage list and that this is her father being nice. Really??? Most people were shocked when she revealed this and I believe those that are shocked are those from other part of the country. Becaue Igbos knows this is not shocking at all.

The pretty woman who got married 10 years ago got people talking over the revelation. Gender equality advocates have also called for the abolition of ‘bride price’ and ‘marriage list’ saying that it makes it look like the woman is nothing but an item for sale. Some say that bride price is not actually the problem, but the list which can drain a man’s lifesaving.

“I’m from Mbaise.. The list alone cost close to 800k and that was my Dad being nice. If only I knew then, what I know now. Bride price is a stupid tradition that shouldn’t have any place in a modern world. Whether 1 naira or 1 million. Yes I said it!!!.”
