HOW MUCH MUST A MAN HAVE TO BE READY FOR MARRIAGE?

Pls, nairalanders, what thinkest thou a Naija man would need in his bank account before he can be said to be financially ready for marriage?

I havent been in naija for ages but still think a respectable marriage can be planned with about N5m. . . dunno if thats right or wrong though, u will need a 2nd opinion on that.

OP is asking us to pluck a min figure that a man must have at his disposal from outer space.

@OP
You don't have to av a set bank balance before u marry.
All you need is a constant job, accommodation and ability to provide food on the table for your fam.

^ u just spoke my mind, constant job is highly necessary

you are right btw N3 - N5m for big ones
from N100K for a low budget i guess

@r231,why spending such amt of money?
thats crazy.i dont need all nigerians for a wedding.
just hav smthing doing and spend meaniful money.

@OP
Do you mean being ready for marriage as an event or marriage as a status?

As an event, N350k can still buy you sth good certainly not great.

As a status, you need nothing really. Una just dey manage unaself dey go provided there is love.

N5m for marriage? Typical 9ja show off, after that they live mouth 2 mouth. Why not spend N1.5m and invest the rest so as to provide for that marriage?

wedding?
the only people tht will attend are my immediate family members so i aint spending a kobo

to be ready, u need a crib, job, a car and what else?

A man's gotta hav like 50 mill aside go di.then 5 mil 4 the wedding,2 mill 4 the honeystar,5 exotic cars & 20 million 4 macelleneous(is dt the spelling?cos am not sure) expenses,he should be gud to go wt this(just kidding)all a man needs is to have a constant job like an earlier poster said,if he thinks he can provide 4 his intented family then he's ready.

for me luv you, a steady job and a house

As long as you throw in a private jet to take that "our immediate family members" to somewhere exotic like the Maldives, Seychelles, etc to have that low-key wedding, for a fortnight with accommodation in at least a 4* hotel for them and 5* hotel for us, then i'm with you on that and on your side like your loyal obedient wife - we don't need a large wedding - and the millions that we save from not having a massive wedding can be put towards my designer wardrobe which i am gonna need to look good beside you, I am such a considerate wife

A stable Job and a positive outlook, thats not much to ask right?

A proper wedding in Lagos should cost about 10 million Naira.

Things are expensive in Nigeria and for one's special day - an event that can never repeat itself till one dies. . . .I think 10 million is about right.

U must be joking right? U will be spending about £40,000 for a wedding in Nigeria, honestly our value system is so wrong.

When was the last time you went to Naija?

The venue alone will gulp 1/10th of that budget.
Food and Drinks. . . . .Nigerians don't drink once and ignore. . . . They wanna GO all night so that one nor be beans.
Then you have to accommodate your guests flying in from near and far. U don't want your colleagues at work kidnapped in Naija so adequate security must be ensured.

What about costumes, cake, wedding ring, stretch limos and other miscellaneous?
U better buckle your belt and start working your arse off.
If you think £2000 pounds will host a decent wedding, you will be shocked.

I'm not saying £2000 or £4000 is enough but spending £40,000 for a wedding is madness.

Anything less than that and the wedding will be crappy.

Cos u want it to be crappy, after spending that much on wedding the woman becomes ur personal property.

She is not ur personal property, she is allowed to do her own thing, even walk out of the marriage when things get worst. U don't own her just cos u spent £40,000 for the wedding
