*The day cost just £2 - for her taxi to the pub venue - thanks to gifts from friends


A single woman who grew tired of being asked when she was getting married has made the extraordinary decision to tie the knot to herself.

Oxford student Lulu Jemimah, 32, was fed-up of her family lecturing her on the importance of settling down with the right man.

But marriage is the last thing on her mind as she studies a masters in creative writing at the prestigious university.

So, in a bid to get her parents off her back, she decided to stage a mock wedding and sent formal invites out to her nearest and dearest.

She hired a dress, walked through the venue to the traditional wedding march and even gave a speech to her guests explaining the lack of a groom.

Lulu admits her Ugandan parents are baffled by her decision - but said she feels it was the perfect commitment to herself and her studies.

The entire day cost just £2 - for her taxi to the pub venue - as she managed to get the rest of her big day for free or as gifts from friends.

Proud singleton Lulu said: 'I have a strong passion in life and I am committed to achieving my goals at becoming an academic.

'But all my family wanted to ask me was when I planned to get married - which is very important back in Uganda - followed by when I would be having children and starting a family.

'My father wrote my wedding speech when I turned 16. Every birthday my mother prayed for me and in recent years this has included a plea for a good husband.

And you think that you make sense like this.

What a deceitful way for a woman to make mockery of her marital unwanted state before the world.

So pitiful.

This is called “Solo-gamy”

I support u, better to be single than be with a man beater.
Nothing wrong with being a feminist.
Since recent popularity of the word FEMINISTS In Nigeria, it has exposed the fact that 90% of Nigerians are intellectually inept.


*im expecting numerous antagonizing post coz of this comment*

What the f*ck she fine and she can have a guy this selfishensess. 1 P*SSY DOWN.

I think a lot of Nigerian women would love to go down this same path.


An opportunity to jump from dick to dick without their conscience bothered.

A woman is incomplete without a man. .

Cute skin,cute smile...
Wicked Uganda boys...Una be Fvck and run.

Feminism, the way it is being bastardise.d now is not really way it ought to b propagated. it has instead turned out to be a way for women who are frustrated to get some succour mentally. deep down they aren't happy. they find no satisfaction in claiming they are better off without men. it's just the way you can't afford a car of 5 million and claim it's better off to use that money to enter bus for 10 years than to buy a car that can get accident after 1 or 2 years and it is finished. I've learnt to stop arguing with them or trying to prove otherwise. time usually changes their mind. ask Linda ikeji. claiming feminism but behind she was knacking yet some mumus on NL were shouting.
just leave them. time will clear their eyes...

See NL Feministas, but that will not stop you from seeing Ade tonight or secretly pray for a husband this coming Sunday.

We know una type. Linda and Chimamanda said worse but look at them taking kondo and raising a family.

Kind of childish, in my opinion. You don't have to do anything to prove a point to the society. Everyone has their time and rationale for things.

Now that she has done this, if she later gets someone to marry her, will she divorce herself first?
