Mumu wedding. Hope it's not church that forced her to do this. These kind of husbands when they hammer will marry wife and do celebrity wedding. Then she will come online and start crying about how she did not have cake, chicken or even wedding dress at her wedding. If this wedding is the couple's choice however, goodluck to them. |

Some rent hall alone for like 1m to 2m for few hours of the reception....imagine. Please let stop all these fake lifestyle....no be competition. Life is not a 100m race ... This should be encouraged more. You can do your wedding in the church and use the same venue maybe rent one or two canopies to accommodate your guest.Snap pictures and enlarge it later Give them small chops and soft drinks and after that everyone go home. |

aspirebig:last I converted 2 million naira I found out it is less than £2000 and I know took calculator and realized that we are indeed suffering in Nigeria..when someone like ordinary Ahmed musa without working earns close to £70k a week I just SMH for the country.. so bros make u erase the mindset that spending 2m on a wedding is a lot of money..na poverty |

Taaa! I don't know why I don't find this cool. Maybe if this was done at home, with the two families present and its plain traditional marriage with the bride price and joining together. Whew! No wedding dress or special Sunday dress? No food? No special anything? Biko it is well...nobody is catching late comers Na las Vegas? Abegi! |

sprintscr7: Shut up there....I said now people spend 1m to 2m on RECEPTION HALL alone.I did not mean 1m to 2m on entire wedding ..even the 1m to 2m. .is it easy? Wedding is NOT marriage oooo Wedding is just for few hours .and marriage is a LIFE time commitment. I did my wedding in one of the biggest city in this world and I know what I spent only on MC. Just MC.... that was years ago,and I paid the guy completely before the day, just for wedding reception alone .... I know what I spent on reception hall hiring,then the hall decorations and cakes,then food, as in rice, swallow with different african soups, salad, small shops, drinks, photographer and video . As in for photobook,burning all the pictures on CD, two big enlargements, one video for wedding and another for traditional......The weddding reception was massive and so was the traditional ...as a matter of fact, some dudes still owe me for Asoo ebi till date ..they did not pay. I am talking out of experience, ok. Read what someone write well,before jumping to conclusion and talking about poverty. .It is not a news that there is poverty in Africa...what is per capital income of people in Nigeria as compared to someone in Europe...we are talking of moderate wedding, you are mentioning Ahmed Musa ,a popular Nigerian international, a professional footballer in EPL club Leicester, who earns his wages weekly in pounds week in, week out .even as he is not regular ..who just invested heavily in filling station up north.... are you ok at all? Do you think Nigeria is England? Even in England, don't they have poor people there? Is it everyone that is earning well and living large like Ahmed Musa you mentioned? You have to be rational and put things in the right perspectives. You saw a wedding of people that cannot even afford ordinary suit, no cake, no asoo ebi, non drinks, and you are mentioning a potential billionaire footballer in the matter. Then something is wrong with your sense of judgement. How many Nigerians in UK, apart from footballers earn that type of wages Ahmed Musa earns? Not to talk of people in Nigeria? Dollar is between N360 to N380 now while pounds is in the neighbourhood of N400 to N450 or there about. Honestly, I see no need for such comparism. Can you compare the salary of an average worker in Nigeria to the salary of an average worker in London? I asked my Parents then, what were the requirements for marriage in their time and I was told that It was just a keg of Palm wine and few kolanuts for the blessing with say about 10 people in attendance and after some 30 minutes , the marriage is over.. then the bride family will handle over their daughter to the groom's parents and say these few things to the newly married: 1. Your union will be a blessing to us all, amen. 2. You will born both male and female, till your house is filled. 3.To the groom, please do not beat her o, do not allow her to be hungry,not naked,not homeless. 4.Both of shall be prosper, Amen. 5.Sickness and evil people will not see you, amen. That was the simple and yet affordable marriage rites of the 1940s,1950s,1960s,and they lived together till old age. How many divorces did you see then ? How many barreness did you see then? Even giving birth was seamless ...no operations for baby delivery....most of these activities now are foreign due to modernisation and it is impacting negatively on our youths. Every one want to outdo the other, now some aso ebbi are sold for 100k, before you talk of sewing ... Let's be reasonable and realistic please . 9 Likes |

Personally, I see nothing wrong at all with elabourate/extravagant weddings. To me it could also be an expression of your excitement for marrying the right one. Or marrying someone you love. If I'm having a big wedding, the least people I have in mind to impress are the guests. My wedding could be extravagant. But my day in, day out of my marriage wouldn't necessarily be. Common guyz, its just a party. Its all about me, my wife and I. |

chronique:Isn't it quite neat that though you feel others shouldn't use this to judge a good wife material, you can conveniently judge the man's pocket by being "disturbed about how a man who organises such wedding for your sister would be able to take care of your sister"? |

aspirebig:well said. The guy u replied is just a local boy that haven't left his village. The truth is about 80% of Nigerians living legally abroad won't spend such money on venue... I noticed that most legally working Nigerians are more cautious and calculating when spending their hard earned cash |

livingg:God bless this couple wherever they are. They are my type of pple that i admire. When you think too much or worry too much about what others would so, you are bound to live your life for them but since we cannot please everybody; the cycle of unhappiness/unfulfilled live never end in such cases. For me, it's never about my pocket but me and my wife's satisfaction and happiness. Why should i ever allow the focus of that day to shift away from the two of us?..that's stupidity! |

Expensive dowries and weddings have made so many men unmarried and resort to having baby mamas. Marrying a woman in Nigeria is like buying a human being! With 10k, you can pay for a woman's dowry in Cote d'Ivoire. |
