Marriage ceremonies in Africa has always been a big deal and calls for celebration with pomp nd peagantry....

We only added the culture of the whites as a result of being colonised by whites with the same momentum

In theime in memorial ths black want to be like the white people yeah, in style, way of life, manners, every black want to travel overseas to experience green pastures even when the cost is high..

Blacks want to drive the latest care not caring if is the last naira on their pocket

They just like anything that the white are doing they just want to be like the white, speak like the white... So many things they are willing to forsake their own religion, faith and say of life to be in the atmosphere of the white culture.

I hope we don't forget our heritage and rich culture.

Because of foolishness.

Copying other people's culture verbatim can be seen as an act of foolishness most especially when you at the same look down at your own culture.

Some got no sense. Some want to show. I know a family that paid debt incurred on wedding for 3 years after the event..

A father took bank loan of 3 million from Habib Bank in early 2000 to fund daughter's wedding only for the marriage to crash 6 months later.

I know people that rented house they could not furnish only to move out few years later because they cant keep up with rent.
One of them moved back to his family house.

Stupid people everywhere.

1- White wedding came with Christianity. As a Christian, one feels fulfilled been joined in the church.

2- Ladies always insist even when men are not interested thereby increasing the wedding budget.

It's what it is

Religion is one of the major reasons. White wedding is one of those religion practices induced by culture

Overtime in human evolution, cultures do mix and eventually u may not be able to tell with full distinction which is whom. Accept that fact.
NB: This does not excuse those who think that thete is no valid wedding without the ""white"" one

Africans has forgotten their roots that why. If u say you be Christian don't forget that the only marriage Jesus Christ ever attended in the bible was a traditional marriage. It there He performed His first miracle. Peace

Sometimes I wonder why we blacks are like this. It's even competition if you didn't make a big wedding here in Nigeria. At list white wedding should be for only virgins not olosho in disguise. Imagine spending millions on one olosho that has used all her life on hook up. If some men know the 3 some olosho dey are parading as wife.

Africans are getting smarter this days. I will only spend 200k on my weeding regardless of the trillions in my account. Any babe that is not comfortable with this should sponsor the weeding herself

Nigerian women insist you must do 4 kinds of weddings with them.

It's mental slavery. The thing is most of the white people do very simple wedding by going to the church or registry with not up to 10 people and get married but Africans both rich and poor like elaborate weddings where they go to the extent of borrowing money and also tasking family members just to cook food for guests and buy drinks.

Blacks feel very inferior. It's only from a black person you will hear things like black is beautiful, black don't crack, thank God i am a black person. I mean who asked you? If a white man says white is beautiful, black people will tag him racist.
The white wedding issue is so irrelevant. We have our traditional marriage, the whites have white wedding as their traditional marriage but ours is not enough we went and copied the white man's traditional marriage.
The indians don't have white weddings. Even most asian countries don't do white weddings.
Na wao.
