To support your words here, I ll also pen down my experience having visited two LGA in Oyo State (Ibadan North and Oluyole) on the subject matter. The Marriage Registry of Ibadan North is situated inside the LGA council at a place called Agodi-Gate adjacent Immigration Office while that of Oluyole is beside Oluyole Shopping Complex at Orita-challege Ibadan.

NOTE: Oluyole council is situated in a village called Idi-Ayure along Ijebu ode when you follow Old Lagos Ibadan road but they strategically stationed their marriage registry at Orita-challege.

Now on what and what requires, the two local government request same thing. The only slight difference is on the Menu Menu required.

For Oluyole LGA, your are to pay

1) 1,200.00 cash (receipt issued) to the LGA.

2) 2000.00 to bank A in favour of Oyo State Government with a teller.

3) 6500.00 to bank B in favour of Oluyole LGA with a teller

4). 1000.00 to bank C in favour of Oyo State/Oluyole LGA joint account with a teller.

5) 3 passport each of Groom and Bride

NOTE: the banks are 3 different commercial banks and the payments should be made in the name of the groom.

The total amount when added is 10,700. If you don't wanna go to thes banks yourself, you are to add 1000 to the said amount making it 11,700. With this payment, you ll file a notice by filling the form given to you.

21 working days is calculated, they have a calendar that does that immediately.

So, before you go, they will give you 3 different dates which you can consumate your marriage. You are to choose one.

Moving on, 2 days to your chosen date, you are to pay another 5000 for the certificate.

Lastly, on the deal day, you come to the registry with your bride and do the needful.

Refreshments to present

1 pack of Can Malt
1 pack of fibre biscuits
2 pieces of salive
2 pieces of Hollandian Yogurt
Or your pay another 5000 for the above items.

When asked about the acceptance of certificate issued from Oluyole at Embassies, the woman responded that many couples from who used their registry are now abroad and that Embassy representatives do come to them for verification.
She added that so long the marriage certificate is carries Federal Government, no embassy turns it down.

Quite expensive, had my wedding at Ibadan SouthWest Local Govt Registry at Oluyole

SuppoOmoo:


..and could you share your experience Sir?

bedoab10k:


I paid 450naira(cash) for notification form with 2 passports each(I & my wife).
Our details was pasted on their notice board for 21days.
I made payment into 3 different accounts; 2,000 to Wema, 10,000 and 1,000 to two Fidelity accounts respectively after 21days of notification.
You're require to come with 1pack of malt and carton of Biscuit with original copies of receipts. On the wedding day, different extortion from different angles but it not a must, the live band, the gateman, the drummers, the officials on sit, this part is so irritating because of the way they beg even people selling drinks and junks still beg for money.
The organization was ok, the hall was cool except the begging of a thing.
