In an emotional Instagram video, she explained that her partner suddenly distanced himself after reviewing her family's requirement to give her up for marriage.
According to her, the man has since stopped answering her calls and has blocked her on platforms.
She pleaded with him, insisting the situation was beyond her control and not a reflection of her personal wishes.
“My boyfriend broke up with me because of the bride price. He has blocked me everywhere. It’s not my fault. My family wrote this,” she said tearfully.
“I sent him voice notes. I’ve been texting him, but he’s not replying. What do I do? Six years of my life,” she lamented.
She further questioned the reaction, suggesting that the list should not have ended the relationship, especially after years together.
“You guys should see it. If my family did too much, he could afford it. Trust me, it’s not too much for him to handle,” she said.
Reports indicate that the bride price list included several demands, among them five fat cows and 50 goats, a detail that has sparked conversations across social media.
