Her narration started with the guy who lives in the UK meeting the girl in Nigeria and starting a long-distance relationship with her. After he was given the go-ahead by his mentor, he got the shock of his life when the bride list was presented to him.
According to her, the guy was more pained when the woman he intended to marry took the side of her parents and insisted that things are too expensive in Nigeria. At the moment, the guy is no longer interested as he is set to block her and move on with his life.
This has elicited various reactions from netizens, as most of them fired the bride and her family for requesting for such demands
