If you go on in life with this kind of mentality,young man I really pity you. Who told you getting married and settling down is throwing money away or you have to spend millions to marry You still leaving in a free house which guess belongs to your parents and not a rented apartment. <b>You don't have a property of your own and you talking of RRM/b>. You are opportuned to have such amount if its true,make use of your brain n spend it wisely. God help you

Kia you finish the guy. Guy honestly, go get an apartment first then get a smaller car, then flex around women and you probably might meet your wife. If you flex big boys with range and you live with your parents - guy you be borrow pose. Your reputation will go down the drain.

On a serious note how much would a wedding cost in Lagos. I mean average wedding

snthesis:
u said i inflated the figures.
anyways to help you out, it ranges from 750k(with alot of i beg) to 900k, i did all this research b4 putting up this thread, meeting this girl changed my perspective on settling down

Lol.

I will leave you to enjoy your thread. I say it boldly that you can never never get a clean 2 or 3 bedroom flat in Lekki Peninsula Scheme 1 Lagos for 900k. Maybe a mini flat.

I have a 2010 built all rooms ensuite 3 bedroom flat in Phase 1 around Fola Osibo In Lekki Phase 1 going for N3million for one year minus legal or agency fee.

Ok. May be you got a good 'bargain'

Wish you happy married life in advance to which of the two babes you decide to marry first

if u have that kind of money . pls do marry

Dis goes to show. . . a country of wasters!

it depends on ur class and d reputation attached

Poster ur problems come from inability to chaff kombo in somebody's house.

Poster u should first move from ur Free accomodation to a furnished flat of ur own and then buy Range rover with the balance.

Then invite the babe to ur new house and chaff the kombo for like 2 weeks. . . . Come back here and tell us if u still love her then.

Chrisbenogor: On a serious note how much would a wedding cost in Lagos. I mean average wedding

Let me try.

Ok u want to invite 200 people = 200k feeding
Open field when there's no rain= 50k
other miscellaneous say 150k
Total 400k

Buy the range rover and if you feel like shining congo insert your di...k in the radiator big boy.

with range rover you will meet more angels so take a pick

toba: Let me try.

Errrrrrrrr Bros I no still dey for village, I don ride bicycle come "tanship"

Open field! Choi
Bros you are hardcore!

Well my first initial thought was that the poster was lying because a tokunbo Range rover goes for 5 - 6 million. Well many people post fictitious stories too.

Poster please note that nairaland has audit trail and someone can dig into your past thread or comments. Be careful and live an honest life.

IMO - The poster is still young and opens thread he sees in his dreams or imagines.

snthesis:
500K wouldnt even get u a decent hall, talk less of decoration, photography, makeup artist charge between 100-200k,

im very serious about this thread, i have done research, was my pal's bestman a few weeks ago, and we went round lagos getting all these data, i have all d details.

And you must do a big wedding and make use of an expensive hall right? IMO, I tell people no matter how much you spend for a wedding, some people will always complain about one thing or the other. Besides, it makes no sense investing for wedding and not marriage as the wedding is just a day celebration while the marriage is long lasting. Anyways, do what suites you most.

moderate wedding. Isnt just a one day event? Have u thought of how you would be feeding ur wife and children when they eventually come?

Guy u no dey try at all

Saintp: Some people are actually falling for this trash.The Op is just pulling ur pants. Who in his late 20's will actually think like this? Are u a learner?

...his parent are not nigerians and he was weaned from the bosom way too early....@ op if what u posted is genuine,get someone with financial intelligence to advice u(remember to be discreet about it), invest that money..make an investment portfolio inclusive of one which will serve as cashflow,a medium term goal and a long term investment..in any of this, buy genuine land/landed property with C of O,..why dnt u think of being a landlord...for the 5months thing,dude u just fell in love,wait till u fall out of love..wen u know urselves..: the good,bad and ugly and the strength of what u v,v been tested,then u know u got love and whatever ingredient u need 2 confidently talk marriage...for range rover part,no need keeping up with the joneses..if u place ur priorities right and stay focused, who knows?..ur wedding still can be classy on a budget.

think twise, make use of ur senses, do the right one at the right time.

Orikinla:

Plan your wedding according to your budget.

For halls to use, you can use halls in secondary school or tertiary schools.
And some churches have affordable halls.

DON'T DO A WEDDING TO IMPRESS YOUR PEERS OR RIVALS.
BE HONEST TO YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE PARTNER.

What if the babe wants to impress her friends courtesy of the guy?

Sky-walker:
why will this type of topic make frontpage?

I wonder o

Sky-walker:

Honestly, he sounds like a really immature person. He is probably eating sugarcane somewhere and trying to dream or confess positively

Chrisbenogor: On a serious note how much would a wedding cost in Lagos. I mean average wedding

N500k maximum

That way he isn't decieving himself spending his hard earned money on a one day activity when he could invest same in his marriage.

manie:

Then her family sponsors everything and there has to be a moderation because the guy too has a say.

Op you were seeking advice last year whether to allow your wife who is a nurse to take a new job as a nurse in an offshore company,you wanted to give her belle before she can take up the appointment are you high on something or you just open thread any how

snthesis: dear NL members,
i need your advice.
i am in my late 20's got a good payin Job, unfortuntely/fortunately met a beautiful angel 5months ago ( twasnt planned). a few hours ago was almost tempted to ask her to marry me, but sum1 interrupted our blues.
so I'm back home, and contemplating my decision to settle down,
economically, it would involve
1. moving out of my rent free abode- accommodation (2yrs+ Agency) =1.9million naira
2. furnishing = 1million naira
3. wedding hall = 1million naira
4. entertainment of guest (traditional + white wedding) = 1million naira
5. Honeymoon tinz = 1million naira
grand total for settling down = 5.9million naira

alternatively
i cud just buy a tokunmbo Range Rover = 3.5million naira and use the change to be a "Bigs Boy"

i have the said money, so i aint sourcing, so pls by fellow NL members what should i Do, PROPOSE, marry, and settle down or buy a RANGE rOVER AND BE A bIGZ bOY.

My broda u nor get shin-shin. person wen get 1m will not come to NL and give his statement of account as u r doing like kid.

GboyegaD:

N500k maximum

Oya bros break down ya own. I do realize there is a budget for everything and I am a strong advocate of not spending too much for a wedding. That said I am trying to face the reality of the situation which is why I am asking people who have that money and still spent just 500k.
Are you married bros?

The guy sounds like a little yahoo rat. Abeg follow the advise, marry the Range and buy the wife.
