Narrating the story, a woman identified as Amanda Chisom on Facebook, said the lady (whose identity she did not disclose) had messaged her about how she made a guy who wasn't well to do to pay her bride price close to N1 million.

According to Amanda, the marriage was to be in absentia.

She wrote:

Sharing photos of the list, he wrote:
