A man identified as Biobelemoye David,has walked out of his engagement ceremony to his bride who hails from Imo State as a result of an extravagant brideprice list.
It was gathered that the groom paid N1,500,000 to cater for food, tents, chairs and a public address system.He was also made to set aside N100,000 as the bride price that the two families had agreed on.
As the occasion unfolded, David was asked to add N50,000 to the bride price because he had already impregnated the girl.
He was further charged with a fine of N10,000 for making a detour to the wrong path and ending up in a different homestead instead of the girl’s.
The groom who hails from Bayelsa was also asked to pay N15,000 to appease the elders who had become tired of waiting for his arrival.
As maintained by GNC CHUKWUEMEKA’S BLOG, twelve girls covered in loose robes from head to toe were paraded before Biobelemoye and he was asked to guess who his fiancée was.
Unfortunately, he pointed at the wrong woman and that led to yet another fine of N15,000 thrice.
The groom precisely took to his heels when the elders demanded for a refund of the total sum of N850,000 that had been paid as the girl’s school fees and upkeep since she started primary school!
David who was infuriated because of the bills, excused himself to visit a nearby latrine and disappeared! He switched off his phone and was last seen in a bus heading to Bayelsa State from Imo.
