Due to economic hardship, a new trend has emerged where some Nigerian men are reportedly comparing marriage lists from various families to find the most affordable option. Traditionally, families in many Nigerian cultures provide a “marriage list,” which details the items or financial contributions required before a marriage ceremony can proceed. With the rising costs of living and inflation, many grooms-to-be are reportedly opting for families with more budget-friendly requirements.
This shift reflects broader socioeconomic challenges, as individuals seek ways to reduce wedding costs in a cultural landscape where marriage expenses can be significant. The report sheds light on how financial pressures are reshaping even traditional customs in Nigeria.
