My senior bro wedding was schedule for the 30th day of October 2021, his wife and her fams were on his heads, telling him to make sure the wedding is the talk of the town, that, he should rent a big hall and make sure food; drinks; meats; kola etc. are available.

So last night he told me, I asked if his wife contributed anything, he said "Monetary" No....that she said she'll bring ppl to cook food and handle things women are meant to handle.

I told my him: Snr bro, make marriage simple. Don't take loans for wedding, don't use all your savings on wedding just to please people. People come to eat, drink and leave you in povery. Manage what you have. If your wife can't help you to think straight, then she ain't wife worthy.
This afternoon, in my presence he called his in-laws and called off the wedding....thank God he has not complete the dowry.

Hope I was right?

Whether you did right or wrong, only time will tell.

How much are you people paid to create these stories? Do you really think women don't have terrible stories to tell about men on a daily basis? The technique is old.

You did the right thing bro.. Anyone expecting a plate of rice on my wedding day will wait till eternity because I ain't doing that shit.

If you want to celebrate with me, wait until after I've fought and conquered the stress, phases and struggles of my marriage with my husband by my side, then I will throw a big party for y'all( just come, eat and celebrate with us) I don't need anything from you undecided

Celebrate your post marriage and not your pre-wedding!!

If he ends up using his life savings to please the wife and her family, what will he use to feed her after the wedding? No be only talk of the town, na talk of the nation e go be undecided

Some people with unrealistic expectations sef yet they won't add a dime to make that dream a reality.. Mtcheew!

Congratulations for bringing asunder to what God has brought together . The annoying part is that some naive people will give you like as if u achieved something good. . Your advice was not properly explained to your brother ....that was why he took it to the extreme. ....he should 've man up and do according to his financial capability instead of calling it off totally ...there is a difference btw making use of what you 've and not doing at all. Better pray nobody blames you for the failure of that marriage if they end up not marrying

Now am beginning to understand why we have more widows than widowers in naija. Wedding see the kind bills on the guy head, tbe would be wife is contributing nothing i wonder if that's the culture sha.

In western world, the mother of the bride organise the wedding i mean pay for 90% of the wedding because it is her daughter big day.

Good for your brother sha i hope your brother's girlfriend family are going to understand and not start war of words.

It's getting to become disgusting the longer it stays.

It will eventually lead to abuse and cruelty towards women, because they are subtly using it to influence how people see women.

When people mention women on this forum, the first thing they read is hoe, cheat, bitch, pussy, money, entitled, hypergamy and other untrue things. The way they revel in it is something else.

It will take years to end the bias created. And while it is on, everyday there are crimes committed against women that forum men turn a blind eye to. Eventually it will reach them one day.

And so?
Does that make it ok to abuse them?

Anyway tnx for ur honesty.
At least one can narrow down to the source of ur hatred; frustration aggression.
No money/little money= No woman= Unhappiness= Hatred for women.

Also fail to factor in the period we live in and cultural influences.

1)We live in 21st century an era of hyper consumption.

2)Materialism is common in western cultures, of which we are heavily influenced by.

Moreover u can't paint every woman with the same brush u paint Instagram slay queen with, its unfair.

It has always been.

That's why it's not advisable to marry from a poor family. The black tax will destroy the marriage before you say jack.

There's no right or wrong. Simply take a look at Instagram to see how far people push to get noticed.

Why didn't he see this till now? Why did it take you to help him see sense? That's the wrong bit...as, am sure the signals were there.

In terms of being right; glad he listened to you. Hopefully, you'd be able to steer him with wisdom in the direction of the right woman to get married to
