APC has changed the price of every damn thing even the ink you wrote with has been multiplied by 5

The same APC was there 4 years ago na.

@OP

At least double the amount or change what you must serve to your visitors.

You can also do takeaway instead of them eating there and fix your wedding on a weekday.

Where u wan for see cow buy 100k


Wetyn u write self nur go reach for birthday


Only cow go collect everything wey u write

Just write x5 for everything wey u write




Chaiii, *5? This country don spoil true true. We really need to start exploring cheaper options. In my opinion, the white wedding is totally unnecessary and the traditional can be a parlour event, case close. Imagine burning 3 million and counting just to have a wedding 3 million that would be more than enough to kickstart a business.

Bros, whatever the amount is, do no focus on it.
Let me tell u hw I did mine.
Immediately I agreed wt my girlfriend then (now my wife) I started buying anything my money could get.
If I have N1,000, I will look for a N1,000 item in the list and buy it. Pack it in one of the empty rooms in my apartment.
Doing this will ginger you to keep doing it. You will stop bn frivolous. You will always remember u have a project at hand.
Before I knew it, I had enough for my wedding wtout knowing how the money came.
When I believe that I had enough in the store, we kicked of for the traditional rite stuff.
They thought I will come to start negotiating. I just gave them all they wanted. My inlaws were and are still very much proud of me even till date.

If you are planning to get the whole money before u start, my brother, you stay very long unmarried.
Another trick is to creat a very cordial relationship between you and ur inlaws to be. This will go a long way to make the journey easier for u. They will reveal so many secret about their ppl to you and this will be a good guide to u.

My cordial relationship wt my inlaws made my brother inlaw to sneak out the main village traditional rite list for me in advance. This gave me insight of what it may take to get married to their sister. Even when the village ppl wanted to doctor the list, they fought the villagers so aggressively and they were able to stop many untraditional things they wanted to add to the list.

Let me help you with the one I know:
Manageable 1cow - #300,000
Good Local rice 4bags - 4 × #25,000 = #100,000
Semo 4bags - 4 x #4,300 = #17,200
Palmoil 10L - #10,000
Groundnut oil 50L - #45,000
A Basket Tomatoes of 6 custard rubbers - #15,000
You need at least 4baskets for 4bags of rice
Pepper 1 custard rubber - #1,600
I dont know how many you need
A carton of sachet tomatoes - #4,000
Beans 1 custard rubber - #3,000

Wedding ceremonies are not compulsory, especially now that we are in perilous times.

I don’t know how you will write that list with numerous zeros and sleep well at night. The only people that write the price of groundnut oil and tin tomatoes themselves are people working on a very tight budget. Else you will handover the cooking to a caterer and she would multiply a plate by your estimated number of guests (e.g) N750 * 300 guests. How many litres of oil she uses wouldn’t be your business.

If you have to sit like this to bother your head about prices and inflation, scratch it. Have an indoor trad in her father’s sitting room, proceed to a registry if you want.

This is 2021 for God’s sake. The people you want to come for a wedding, some of us do not even have money for transport. If we come, we no fit spray you pass 2k.

Many people here have exhibited a strong dislike towards you, but i've seen many of your comments and you're very logical in your reasoning

I don't know of your past record here but, from what i've observed, you're able to view things through a rational lens from your comments, unlike many females

Take care

You don't need 1 cow, 4 bags of rice for that wedding ceremony.
Just go to an abattoir, they can sell parts of cow butchered for you. With ₦50,000, plus ₦30,000 chicken, you're game. You just need 1½ bag of 50kg rice.

I'm trying to assist you plan efficiently and save cost. You do NOT need crowd, because even when you have crowd, you'd spend more, the foods, drinks will be wasted, some folks will also hijack the refreshments and hoard foods and drinks.

Omo! Ishi, if my children wan see my wedding picture, make them imagine am for their head. They should get creative abi imaginative, because I ain’t doing nothing!

Nigerian youths should start using their heads. They can organize a photoshoot if they want pictures for memory. After that, go for a honeymoon in a nearby African country. That is a whole lot better than sweating inside one hall while dancing skelewu, watching people drag foofoo, jollof rice and souvenirs, greeting unknown faces, including the ones that don’t mind tying your womb if they could. grin




I have the right to advise them because it is us they would want to sell 3yards asoebi for @ 25k. It is still us they would expect to spray them money that they can use to recoup their wedding expenses. It is us they will want to borrow money from after wedding. It is even worse when you are single because they assume you have no responsiblities. Whether single or married…they don’t spare us of their expectations. So I won’t spare them my advice!

Thank you.
LMAO! Savage reply.
But the reality is coating cloth according to the materials.
I cover events. I see the way people lavish at events especially burials.
Whenever I wanna do my isn't personal event, I do it moderately. Cos I can't be owing money after party.
Why can't others copy my style?
They saw the way moderate do mine but choose to lavish for their & they ll come back to be borrowing money, claiming they entered debt after the event. Whereas, me dey get rich after events

Kai!. Had it been my ex-girlfriend,reason like this way you reason so,we for dey look forward to our wedding day soonest...but she labeled me a poor thinker or someone with negative mindset... I told her it's not about negative mindset of not being buoyant to cater for luxury wedding, but I don't fancy all those one day noise..I prefer giving her (fiancee) the extra money budgeted for large wedding,if we eventually agree to a small wedding.. she said lai!.. lai!.. ooo...that was how we parted ways... Blaming me for being a negative thinker,hence she can't roll with such person not to talk of marrying..

Op can you remember how you spent evey mins of last Sunday? Nope! only a few memories, which will fade off over time. Same happens with wedding ceremorie. Don't kill yourself. Dont feed those who are not hungry. They will only eat ur cow meat and throw away
the rice. In few ages, you hardly remember what transpired on your wedding day.

Infact I have forgetten i attended some weddings ceremonies. Nigeria problem is too much.

Work within you budget and neverrrrrrr take loan to do any ceremony. It doesn't worth it.
