Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative....

Hmmmmmm......







STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
BOYFRIEND DISAPPEARS AFTER COLLECTING MARRIAGE LIST...



Good day Stella. Please post as soon as possible because I am confused right now and do not know what to do. 


I have been dating a guy for 4 years and he proposed this year January. I accepted and he came to my house in February to make his intentions known to my mother (my dad is late). He asked us to give him little time. 


Last month, he came to my house and told us that he has discussed with his people and the chosen date was 21st of November this year. We discussed everything in regards to money, people that will come ,things to buy and how to buy them. Although the list was given to him since February. According to him the money for everything was there.


My mummy asked him to send in the money at least two weeks to the time because she can't start informing people without her seeing the money and he agreed. 


Till today, he has not sent any money or called to tell us anything.my mum called him for days now and he didn't pick. I called him severally and he refused to pick. He sent a message telling me that he used all the money for business and it hooked. That all the people that were supposed to pay him did not pay. I urged him to call my mum as she's bothered about the whole situation yet he has refused to call.


 According to my mum she told few of her relatives. 

The fire on me for bringing this type of person home is second to none. I don't know what to do. Please I need your suggestions. Thanks a lot.





EHEN sebi i always talk about a woman bringing something to the table and you will all attack me......List?

WHAT IS THIS?Is your mum selling you off?Do you have a job that keeps you busy and you take care of yourself from?

Business is bad everywhere and this man is under pressure and probably scared to call your mum or disappoint you and probably also confused and you are there referring to him as  ''This kind of person''

What is your own contribution to the Marriage preparations?Nothing right?That is why the pressure is on this man and he is in hiding.....
Please relax,nothing is broken,he has not come and no one needs to be blamed.....

Discard any Marriage plans for now and try to be a supportive woman to your man...Instead of disturbing him about the money,find out how things are and how they can get better for him and also try to GET A JOB.....

I think all this list and traditional marriage stuff should be toned down to stop discouraging men from marrying.....

This is my opinion,do not concentrate on,offer advice and waka pass or your comment will be seized.

  1. Even though you did not tell us what is in that list, i.e. the total cost, I have an idea of this if you are from down south. It is high time parents and guardian of our ladies see marriage as a step for the lady's fulfilment and not an escape from poverty. The economy is tight and not everyone will put in millions to marry a wife. Unless you want them to treat the wives like a liability they purchased. When you behave this way, remember that you have sons who will also go to get married. It always comes around.
    So my dear, what to do is to be calm and pray. Do you have a relationship with Jesus, if not why not? He will give you peace of mind in the midst of all these.

    5. Some parents are greedy, my parents collected and collected till they made sure my husband had nothing again, my husband never complained till date and still respect them. Now my elder brother is about to get married and my dad is saying they won't give the brides family more that 60k for cooking, someone that said 200k was too small for cooking during my own time 5years ago... Now they are telling me to tell my husband to bring his contribution, I told them my husband owns them no contribution and I will never do such thing... They don't see maga that doesn't complain, am not working as job is not forthcoming and this man has never complained or frown for one day because of that, he provides every single thing we need and still give me and the kids monthly allowance. How is my brothers wedding supposed to concern my husband financially? Abeg they should sort them selves out. Parents please stop being too greedy

    6. Go to him and find out how things are. Don't solely depend on your husband.

    7. I wish you well Isaacbill, if you collect the list and you can’t afford it, then discuss with your wife to be and see if anything can be done to bring it down to your standard. Even if you can’t still afford it then let her and her family know instead of pulling this stunt poster’s fiancé pulled. It’s only a coward that disappears like this and leave his woman hanging.

      A real man will face whatever boldly and walk away with dignity if need be.

      Wow! I see a woman that understand a bit what marriage is here.
      In addition, please make sure you have a "family account" where if anything happens to your husband (not a wish please,)
      you and the kids should have something to live on. May God bless and keep your home.

    11. @ 15.55, you are wise. If one is not careful, some of these parents/family will push one out of marriage or one may never even get married. What is your husband's business with your brother's wedding? If he chooses to support, that should be voluntary.

      This mentality of scraping a man's head because he wants to marry or has married 'our daughter'needs to stop.

      I really love Traditional marriage and believe it should never be abolished. It is our culture but extorting prospective suitors and using it as poverty alleviation programme is what annoys me.

    1. Stella's advice is so on point.

      Meanwhile,aunty you mean to tell me you are engaged to be married to a man with whom you know little of his finances, business, savings and so on?

      Me o, by the time I and my boyfriend got serious, we were already doing some financial stuff together. He had found out I was better in planning and investment so he had shifted some of his finances to me to manage for him. By the time he proposed, we opened a joint account. He was too glad someone is taking off his financial management off him and by the time the marriage list came, we did everything from the joint account; the wedding o, furnishing our new house o. At no point was he ever alone even though his contribution was more than mine into the joint account that we maintain till today.
      Marriage is deep and all encompassing. No aspect of your lives should be exempted. I agree that it's not all men that should be trusted but please, find the one trustworthy enough. It's worth it.

      This particular guy, please let him rest. It's enough. Don't call again. If he had bonded enough with you, he should have carried you along instead of ghosting you and your family. He has a lot of growing up to do.

    2. Not always true. The list in my case was about 50k and my husbands uncle complained that it was too much. My husband just quietly paid it and carried on with the wedding. Meanwhile my husband is paying the uncles rent of about 500k annually. Imagine??

    3. Then he should come out and tell them instead of doing hide and seek.

      The guy has japaa be that

      Delete
  6. Were you both actually preparing for this marriage? You sound like the man was coming to buy a car and his money got stolen. Please lady, if you value yourself like "a jewel" that you should be, you should have a more interactive courtship than what I read here. You should know your fiance's worth and if he is able to afford what is being thrown at him. If not, then you support him. You don't just wait for him to struggle and you just walk into what you call "marriage" to consume. That's not the mindset of a godly woman. Read Proverbs 31, for insight.

    ReplyDelete
  7. What kind of a man is that, that would run in the face of a difficult situation? That's not how a real man should act at all. This is quite disgraceful. Anyway, Poster, dry your tears. In my opinion that man doesn't love you enough. He could have approached your mum and rescheduled. This type can leave you standing alone at the altar. Love isnt enough in marriage. You need a man that is man enough to stand by you through thick and thin. It is well.

    1. Times are hard, she should try and reach out to him and know what is going on with him. I don't mean via the phone. Everyone knows how this year has been.

      He has not handled the situation in the best of ways but he is only human. If you guys need to postpone then please postpone, there should be no pressure. If you also know the list is not reasonable or on the high side, you better have a chat with your mum.

      All the best.

    2. Well said!. This kind of man will leave you and run away when troubles come.

      So how does a 'real woman' behave, just fold hands and wait for the man to pay for everything including the air she will be breathing?

    4. Thank you babe.

      He should have called and explained things and have the date moved, list has nothing to do with anything, just reason with your in laws, who doesn't know things are hard right now?

      After all poor man dey marry too, poster he didn't do well.

      Delete
    5. Nwunye Doc, you got it right. The man just ended up disgracing the fiancée, which is not fair. Even if he can’t afford the items on the list for whatever reason which is not a crime, he should have called his woman and discuss with her. If he didn’t open up, how will the woman help out. Some men will put up appearance that all is well just for them to disappoint last minute.

    3. @NOc
      So you are in effect advocating for people to engage in premarital sex? What you wrote there is exactly the problem; marriage by harassment. the girl will rush to get married even if the man is having a change of mind, like right now.

    1. Lol. Poster all is well. This list used to cause palava and argument but I think there should be a common ground for negotiation and what you can bring to the table. Nowadays men prefer women that are financially stable to help them cover for thier lags.
      Its not like before that most men prefer stay at home wives. Even if you/ your husband chooses for house wife duties, get busy with your hands for income.
      If he is God's will, he will come back to you if not he is gone for good.

    SDK for me I will not like to add shi shi on my traditional wedding but I wouldn’t mind paying off 80% bill for my white / court. Because that traditional wedding ehhhh I would really want my man to have it all o o because some guyzna that particular money you gave them to add for the traditional expenses they may use to pay your bride price lol

    I am thinking 🤔 wired lol

  11. Well Poster I dunno if you are from East..But what is obtainable is that your mom ought to inform her husband's family eldest bro or elderly person (I have not heard of mobilization money) about the intention of the young man...Then it is your mom's husband's eldest bro or elderly person that will meet the Umu-Nna to collect list etcetera etcetera...That being said...I don't like that the guy had to go mute on the whole thing..If he was not comfortable why didn't he discuss with you on the challenges...Abeg forget that guy and pray God gives you your own and going forward, approach things like this with wisdom and caution...putting money at the forefront is gonna scare the guy..

  12. Maybe he has really put the money into a business, you really need to talk it with him. But wait sef, hope the bride price is not too much.

  16. 1st of all, poster you don't love the guy; You just want to be called a Mrs. your writing and how you refer to him says a lot. 2nd why is your mum so concerned about what people will think than sympathising with you?
    The guy in question can obviously not afford the list he's been given and doesn't know how to tell you. Reason being that, there's no communication in your relationship, talkless of love, please allow the young man be. I wouldn't advise you to still work things out with him because as much as you and your family are to be blamed the most in all these, he is self centred and cannot be trusted. If not, he could have atleast sent a message to tell you he cannot go ahead.

    I will advise you to dust up yourself before considering marriage.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Stella you are missing the point. The man is irresponsible. He cant even call his fiancee or mother inlaw to be and explain things. Ignoring her call that's disrespectful. He is not bothered at all. He doesn't seem like he wants to go on with it. Poster make your findings. He silently wants to walk away without breaking your heart. I don't think it has to do with the content of the list .

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'm sorry,poster but that's the kind of man that can abandon you at the alter or even maternity hospital. Being broke is no justification for not picking calls. There is no reason for not answering calls and explaining what's going on. I can't help but feel that there is more going on with him than he is ready to tell you. Just know that you don't have a suitor and move on and I hope you get over the embarrassment.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Aside the issue of finance here, I sense a lack of communication on both side. A man you want to live the rest of your life with should be able to tell what is exactly he is going through and two of you sit down to cut your coat according to your material. Running away and not picking calls is not the option and it's not for your mum to be calling (harassing) him to find out what's next, it's your job girl. Instead of ignoring calls, he should man up and post pone the marriage plans to a later time. There will be issues in marriage, will he hide his head or run too. You guys are a team start working as one from now!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Just be calm and find out what is happening with him and see how you can encourage him.

    Also, since your dad is late, hope your uncles are not putting all their financial problems on him through over-billing? If that's the case, you will need to talk to your mum to see if they can bring the list down to what your man can afford and that's if he has expressed his concern about the list being over-priced or not.

    It is well with you. Don't worry yourself, everything will fall in place. Don't let anyone make you feel sad.

    From your writeup, the relationship seems like a mixture/combination of kero and water, sounds more like an arranged connection or so.

    Of course having money hooked in a business is a very reasonable excuse..

  26. I do not like the fact that he refused picking calls but Times are hard. Families should not make it harder by unnecessary lists.

  27. Hmmm.....
    Your man should have told you the state of his pocket from the start. Were you guys planning on wrecking his bank account and business all because of a wedding? What about life after wedding?

  30. Stella don talk, everybody don follow her, as if they can't also form a personal opinion.
    Your guy is bad news, avoid him. A decent and honourable man will communicate with you and deliberate/ negotiate. He will not disappear into thin air after 4 years of dating. If he cannot open his mouth and talk with you, then something is definitely wrong with him and the relationship.

    Shebi when totoh dikee married and said she paid everything, they cursed her out, now they still want you to marry yourself and blame you for a man's instability?

  31. You were with a liar and a former who actually was nothing but a brokeass.

    Why did he say the money was there??? The guy never had that money set aside for the list if he still ended up using it for business. What stopped him from saying he doesn’t have it now so y’all can come to an agreement on what to do. Or why didn’t he call to explain and seek solution instead of ghosting???

    Let’s even leave the issue of list aside, does the guy even have the ‘stamina’ to sustain a marriage???

    You people always trying to take a dig at the Igbos for this always forget this is tradition and everyone has theirs. I will not even pretend that there are no greedy Igbo parents out there but most give u list based on how you have behaved, if u have come posing as an extremely wealthy man, u will get an extremely expensive rich. That should teach y’all to learn how to be humble at all times.

    You know the Igbo tradition, you know they will give u list, you know u will complain and u will still be busy chooking head.

    Y’all will tell me if poor people in Igbo lands don’t get married with all of your unnecessary exaggeration

    ReplyDelete
  32. I find it both shocking and sad that everyone is jumping on Stella’s bandwagon on why should there be a list, why is the list high etc.
    First, nobody here knows anything about this list. Nobody has an idea if it is high or unreasonable. It is unfair to the poster to make assumptions.
    Second, which sane man in Nigeria goes to marry and not expect to do any traditional rites on the woman? Which same man does that. If a man doesn’t want to be connected with any thing traditional marriage rites, he will make it clear from day one!
    Third, why on earth should a woman pay her for her own traditional rites? The man coming to marry her is his mum living with her dad free of charge. A real man must pay what he can afford, but pay he must.
    Fourth, any woman that feels it is modernization to help a man marry her traditionally is in for a funny ride in marriage. I have examples of ladies that did so and I can tell you they are married to themselves. They are paying rent, school fees and feeding both them and the man. Because obviously she married herself for the man.
    We criticize posters for sending in chronicles about having deadbeat husbands but we are here justifying an obvious case of an irresponsible grown man.
    Last, if at all the list is enormous, is he dumb. Can’t he simply say. I dont t have money and will not continue with the marriage plans.
    So a full grown man disappeares the next reasonable thing for the poster to do is step in and pay her own brideprice?
    You guys will be the first to say she is desperate to answer Mrs.
    Please let’s learn to be fair and logical.

    1. Read the comments and tell me who suggested she should pay her bride price.

      When BVs disagree with Stella and even bash her, you all don't talk but when bvs thoughts align with hers, they don't have a mind of their own.

      We know that most times the list is unreasonable plus there is no law that says they must marry now.
      At the time he was given the list, he may have invested money in business and was expecting good profit, Covid happened, 2020 has been slow.

      Both of them do not even have any business getting married. They cannot communicate now is it when they get married they will communicate?

  33. Regardless of the situation he should have taken you aside and explain to you exactly what is going on. He should have given you a chance to be there. I know that most men have a pride and ego thing going on, but cutting you out is not the way. When love is present respect never fades. Perhaps he was ashamed to face you, but he should have pushed through his fears, if you love him you will stick by him through the hard times. I do not like how he dealt with you, especially considering you have four years of history together. So if you two were married and hard times came he would have run away from home?

    Do not hold your breath waiting for him. If other suitors come your way date them. In the meantime keep working and building and improving yourself. Cry your tears, feel your pain, talk to God, but when enough tears have been shed and shame has been felt focus on the matter of living and move on in greatness.

  35. From what I understand, this "list" is given to the prospective husband as a precursor to the payment of the brideprice. A traditional right of passage for a man to show his prospective in-laws that he is man enough to provide for and take care of their daughter. It's a traditional rite which varies from each ethnic group. I know little about certain traditional rites, so excuse my ignorance, but shouldn't your intended have complained if the items on the list were financially excessive for him? I hear some families can revise the list and make it more pocket friendly.

    Darling, what I'm labouring to pass across is, your intended ought to discuss his reservations about the list, if any, with you before pulling a Houdini on you and yours. Shouldn't he have thought of the expenses before setting a date? He suggested the date, no? Or did you put pressure on him? The way I see it, purely my opinion, if you have to invest the money you set aside for the marriage of the lady you want in your life, into your business,  it's either you aren't financially ready to start a family or you were suddenly hit with the realisation that the lady in question isn't as near and dear as you had imagined.  Either way, it doesn't bode well for your union.

    The civilised thing to have done was to call another meeting where he would ask your family for a postponement to enable him put his house in order. I find his actions shockingly disrespectful, to be honest. It's not like the entire wedding expenses were left for him to shoulder. I don't think an intended bride should contribute to the payment of her brideprice or the other traditional prerequisites. A bride can contribute 90% of the funds for the marriage celebration, if she is so inclined, but a MAN who waltzes in to marry a wife must have the balls to comply with the requirements, ask for a review or call the whole thing off the honourable way. Avoiding your prospective in-laws' calls and keeping your would be bride in the dark is such a sissy move, it smacks of unadulterated cowardice.

    Sweetheart, from my vantage point, it appears your man is no longer interested in marrying you. The "list" is just an embroidered way of escape for him. This may just be a blessing in disguise because both of you seem rather distant for lovers of 4 years who now want to make it official. Your level of communication is a tad low, and that's me being modest. Some men go through much worse just to marry the woman they love. You shouldn't be with a man whose first impulse is to get going once the going gets tough. I shudder to imagine your fate when the rent is due or, God forbid, you have quadruplets with soaring medical bills. Best he leaves now that later. I'm so sorry darling, but you will have to sit it out and allow the humiliation pass because it will, eventually. Don't beat yourself up too much, some women were actually left at the Altar and they survived.
    e-hugs and kisses.

  36. Poster no body died here so why are you ranting, stop putting pressure on the young man and do not push him into something he is not ready to do.

    Your mother is worried about few of your relatives she has spoken to and no one is worried if the said man even has the cash or his business is moving forward.

    Turn it down for now, find time to understand what his new project is at the moment and give him your full support. Talk with him not on phone but face to face, understand where he is coming from. Please do no pressure or nag him about the marriage stuffs.

    Your mum should stop calling the guy, he doesn't have the liver to stand her or he is respecting her and don't want to stay anything stupid.

    If he is no longer interested you should know when to draw the lines than stressing yourself. Is possible he came for the list with faith but reality just hit him.

  37. Personally, I think the man is irresponsible and disrespectful. Where I come from, the list is standard. The bride's family is not solely responsible for it. It is tradition and there are some things on the list that cannot be skipped.

    He should have met with the family and discuss with them so that they will know how to go about it. You can always negotiate certain things on the list.

    They can do a low key ceremony. Is she going to bring the money for her own bride price?

    That is not how a real man should behave.

    Even if the lady has millions, she will not support to the extent of paying her own bride price.

    There is nothing wrong if the mother asked for money to be paid into her account. They will definitely cook that day, is it the day of the occasion that the money will be sent to her for preparations.

    The best thing is to move on. He is not good for you.

  38. Nice one @ronalda. I can only imagine the emotional trauma this poster will be passing through, especially now that family is involved. Honestly it’s really embarrassing. I wish the poster can just move on & forget about the guy & his audio marriage plans. Imagine using marriage money to do business. Yimu. Guyman no dey interested again ooo.

    Bless you

  40. For 4 whole years you both courted each other yet it is very difficult for him to communicate with you. A broken relationship is better than a broken marriage...

  42. Igbo list Igbo list, but poor people get married everyday in Igboland. Poster, your man is irresponsible and you should thank God that this is happening now than after you got married. Tonto that paid her bride price where is the marriage now. The man had the guts to ignore your mum and then you. My sister kneel down and thank Jehova from saving you from this man. He has no iota of respect for you.

  43. If this poster shares a Chronicle that has to do with being the one financing her family after marriage and she says that she paid for her marriage list like Stella is saying,most people in this blog will go ahead and condemn her and tell her she actually has herself to blame (remember TONTO).
    Traditionally the list has to be paid by the man, not the woman and if he can't afford it he could have asked for her help.
    He shouldn't have gone MIA.
    my advice: This fella is not trust worthy, you dated for 4 years and he's pulling off this disappearing act. Please I'd advice you move on.its looking like if things get tough in future he might be unavailable.

  44. He has no justification for ghosting on you. Shows he doesn't respect you. Even if the list is too bogus he can always sit and discuss with your parents and if they your parents are unyielding he will walk away. But ghosting on you this manner? Totally wrong.

  45. The list given to him was too much
