Early this year some guy tweeted he won’t cough more than Fifty
Thousand Naira for his wedding and Nigerian Twitter went hard on
him.
Say what?
So many Nigerian couples have been engaged for more than
fifteen years and the excuse is always FUNDS for a wedding
ceremony!
I decided to make a list based on this budget and realised a N50K
wedding is possible. I mean a proper wedding with a bridal train,
cake, small chops, drinks, wine and jollof rice. You’ll even end up
with N50 change by the time you are done.
