Broke because he doesn't fancy oyinbo white wedding? I wonder how y'all Nigerian girls think, people like you will continue being slaves to oyinbo and religion, tell us where white wedding is recorded in the Bible? tell us

It’s very obvious you cannot read.

Kissmyassbiach:


Says another broke fool

Are you a mad woman?

You think doing wedding is all about showing off money? This is the type of useless girl my mama told me to avoid.

I will do white wedding if my wife wants it but it’s not a must and it doesn’t mean I am poor. You are useless girl and you will obviously not make a good wife with the way you comment.
No man should keep your likes as a wife.

TheOldGods:
you have time to be arguing with a woman, who bends down to pee. These people are beneath us. Just read her comment, because it is irrelevant. Only reply your fellow men.

No no biko modify this post.

I respect women and they are not beneath us in any way.

Yes they always view things from the emotional and sentimental point of view but then that is what makes them females.

I just don't condole the abusive ones.

Is it common sense y’all lack? If you call yourself a Christian, you have to do white weddings. What does that have to do with traditions?

If you’re going to reject some parts of the religion, might as well reject the whole and be free.

White wedding isn't in the bible. Just made up. White gowns only started after queen of england wore white dress. Thats like say we shouldn't eat local food again and only eat European food.
You complain no job but the amount of money is spend importing gowns and suits for weddings instead of patronising the local economy.

Toks2008:
To think that some Pastors preach that until you do a white wedding also known as "Church wedding".. You are not considered married...

I call this foolishness that has no basis in our tradition as Africans or even in the Scriptures.

I will advise any man to focus on the traditional wedding and go ahead to register the wedding if they want but if the lady insists on having a white wedding, let her take care of the entire financial demands except you have enough money to throw away.

May we be emancipated from mental slavery

. There are two forms of wedding acceptable in the Nigerian constitution namely Traditional wedding and Statutory wedding ( Registry wedding) . Neither of them requires wearing a white gown. The choice is yours. Some churches have been liscensed by the federal government to also perform statutory wedding. The Federal ministry of Interior through Ikoyi Marriage Registry gives marriage documents to such places of churches.

It's funny you are the one that lacks common sense, or say biblical common sense. Mention 1 chapter In the old testament and one in the new where wedding was done in the synagogue or church, or mention 1 place believers were instructed to get married in the church. Then do yourself a favour, Google search history of church wedding and then search for how white dresses became bridal custom.

86.57% of Nigerian ladies will not agree with you... They believe that if the pastor has not performed the spiritual blessing of the rings, then the marriage is not complete and “Blessed” by God.

They can wear trad to church wedding.

if that vagina haven't be penetrated by no man, hence white wedding useless.

We can just do traditional wedding and have a priest come bless us right in the traditional wedding.

Mother Africa... please do not sleep.

There is still hope for Africa. There is still hope.
At least reading this sensible piece here today has snapped me back from my conclusion that there is no remedy.

Kissmyassbiach:


The people who made the religion are the same people who made the rule. It’s now you want to do, “let’s not follow the white man”.

It’s not everything in the “scripture” that’s practiced, the same way it’s not every y’all practice today that’s in the scripture. It’s still a part of the religion regardless.

So why are you not practicing the religion like them? They have rules that you aren't a human and cant enter heaven. Is that part okay? They have rules you. Can be sold lik3 a slave. That okay? You can pick and choose. If you want white do it. Yhere is np shame. Just say so. The "rule" if white gown is less than 150 years old

Well, lessons learnt...my previous marriage which I spent hell on, only lasted under 2yrs...next is only gonna be small trad and I carry madam enter house...if she ain't down with that, I moooove!!

Waste of money & resources indeed. Very few have the courage & determination to defy societal pressure & go against existing norm.
Traditional marriage +blessing by a clergy should suffice.

You don't want white wedding but u still a clergy man to bless the marriage.
Who is deceiving who.

You are the one that lack common sense. The marriage rite takes place in "Traditional marriage" "White wedding is not scriptural"

Come with scriptures to back your claims..
So many couples in the bible married just by paying of bride price, no going to the tabernacle to do swearing of oath or rights.

Blind christian all around who know nothing about the scriptures other than what their so called pastors teach them

obembet:


But he did white wedding

And what does it matter? People are not allowed to have a change of opinion in the face of new truths? Ain't saying he did, but in case he did, a truth still remain truth

It's the fairytale experience of putting on a white wedding gown and nothing more.It has nothing to do with spirituality or religion.They are always in la la land.

They know the truth but will always resist.

What a lucky guy he is

You are so lucky...because hardly can a lady agree to marry you in this dispensation without making sure she dried your 4 years savings on wedding ceremony

At last, either you did elaborate or non-elaborate wedding....it is still the same marriage certificate that will be issued...and this is what count not all these social gatherings in the name of wedding ceremony....

Guys, lets make it a rule without our self that the level of financial commitment of your lady determines ow the wedding ceremony will look like...

If there are such rules, you will see a lot of ladies suggesting to you that they are happy about doing a parlor wedding ceremony

Guys wise up oh....it is because you can still drop some dole that is the reason the lady is respecting and giving you are attention, the moment you are broke, forget about fidelity in marriage because she needs to improvise for the lack of your financial responsibility

Wise up or your die a miserable death...there is no true love in Africa, it is about what you can bring to the table....


Shekinah

She bends down to pee makes you better or smarter, people like you simply irritate me. If you learnt your history well, you would know Nigeria was colonized by the British and as such it is only natural that a few of their customs rubbed off on us. Only a poverty stricken individual such as yourself wouldn't admit how beautiful the white wedding event is and the fact that it is worth adopting. Shove that up you ass, you chauvinistic psychopath

In a bid to sound enlightened, you ended up sounding stupid.

Please show me where in the scriptures "white wedding" was mentioned or where they did any of the sort.

In fact did the early Christians do 2 weddings?

You said everyone that commented before you lack common sense when the reverse is the case.

Better be thought a fool and keep shut than to speak and clear all doubts (Obasanjo et al, 1600)

Sense no go kill you.
