@least 5million for a colourful one.

Marriage or wedding?

Why not just go to court and call it a day?

Ur right

Sme NL dudes sabi form shA,

According to your pocket. If you don't own a plot of land, don't spend more than the worth of a plot of land.

If u say average, then 500k will do.

Thread created on the 9th of Oct 2013 , making front page today February 28, 2015. Anything is possible

Am observing

Northern states organize mass weddings sometimes....maybe u should try it.

Gratia:

Drinks & food N150k? You must be joking

Na only drinks and food..what about receptn venue...no event centre charges 120k...even a small event centre will not collect 120k..150k might cover food and drinks to a large extent,nowadays,I think its easier to use d services of a caterer.

When my cousin did he's, that should be middle of last year. Both the white and trado accumulated to a figure of 1.8m in naira.

You the guy have to spend almost everything unless the woman is equally handi.

Be sure the 1.8m includes what relatives might decide to help with, but does not include what friends and folks will package for you on the D- day.

If your lucky. You might even get half of your money back pending on who is invited.

I'm here to read comments because I know some Igbo obsessed peeps will just give absurd amounts for Igbo marriage

#70 naira only , don't spend much
Just ask ur guest to bring dr own food as dey come.
They should bear in mind dat drs no music
And shouldn't expect gifts as dey go either
#best econonical advice ever

They can play music from their phones.

Its differs from one ethnic group to the order in the sense that here in the north U dnt av to budget a huge amount of money just because you want to marry an hausa girl except for the bourgeoisies who spend extravagantly Yorubas also wouldn't cost much@least 400k for a middle class Unlike the Igbos where you have to start budgeting from a million upword lyk you are investing on a business in the sense that You have to settle different kind s of peoples like the village head chiefs......bla bla bla lyk that

Why spend so much to feed the whole world in a day who care not about your marital life after the ceremony, aand pro'ly visit another wedding the following weekend.

My thinking exactly.

Hmmmm lovely eligible barca fan

eddiebruk:


that is probably between 1.5Million to 3Million approximately which should be enough for an average wedding/traditional marriage inclusive in Nigeria

Money that I will use to invest in Nigeria.To me I believe white wedding in Nigeria is a wast.I preffer our own traditional wedding which will not cost so much.

How Much Should An AVERAGE Nigerian Male Budget For Marraige?

Ikoyi registry = 7,500 naira only Shikena after which everyone ill go back to their various home for a delicious MEAL.

Pls single guy should shut up let the married men talk....
Am single so


Still readin the comment

Don't mind that guy only cow alone has swallowed that 150k

Wedding no be recurrent expenditure na real capital expenditure

Make I read other pple comeent first before I go reply

WITH d kind of AMOUNT I see here and Hear, I think the BEST is to IMPREGNATE the LADY of my CHOICE ,pay for DAMAGES and MOVE ON...

LET me see if my KIDS, won't still be USEFUL

Must you do a noisy wedding? after spending 1.5m on wedding now, what will you and your wife eat after the wedding?

Most people do noisy wedding just to satisfy their families.

90 percent of couple live in struggles durrring the first 2-3 month of their marriage, because they will be busy paying back photographers and other bills they have incured during wedding.

Go for a low key wedding, this is my 1k to you. so you and your wife can live in abundance after the wedding.

This is also my plan too, cos i will be getting married before the middle of this year.

With the current situation of power supply in this nation, I think it is time you need to think for an alternative source of power.

With 130k or less, you can get a

Solar Panel, Inverter , Batteries, that will be able to power your home appliances(sound system, TVs, Bulbs,)(except:Fridge , hotplate, refrigerator).

You will get uninterrupted power supply so far there is sunlight.
