When Arabs, Asians, or Hispanics do white wedding we don't complain. When blacks do it, it's now a problem. We have a personality issue |

It seems she's angry over something.. her question did not come out of curiosity but anger .. People borrow culture all the time... Does she eat Chinese food?... If she does, why?.. It would have been appropriate for her to stick with only European made stuffs... Those that studied sociology should educate her because I think she needs some tutoring 1 Like |

Religion isn’t a major reason. Even your pastor will tell you traditional wedding is the most essential. Then go to church for pastoral blessings. phemmyfour: 2 Likes |

Traditional na out of respect for your parents and it's a small closed gathering, after that na registry. I don go house go sleep. If you wan do reception, odabo oh. Layo laji.

Christianity has its root in Israel and Turkey. But yet we don’t do our wedding in the Hebrew way. They traditionally wed at night. Colonialism is the reason for most European wedding phemmyfour: 3 Likes |

bibbiana: Is engagement the same as traditional marriage? I am not against engagement or introduction. I am against marrying twice. First in the traditional way. Then in the Christian way. People should follow one. You don't like traditional worshippers' religion but you like their marriage? No be juju be that! 3 Likes |

I have had this discussion with ladies and I have had to walk out from two relationships because of this and in my present relationship my woman already knows my stand. You either accept it or we go our separate ways. Not me trying to be imposing but for both of us to have sense by force. You cannot be asking me to blow away life savings just because I want to impress people who won't go through the storm with me when they come. I have never seen anyone given an award for the best wedding, never! I have friends that did lavish wedding and after that marriage has been from hand to mouth rushing to borrow from me a single. I gave my partner two options. White wedding with reception with no business for you or we just go for church blessings and money meant for reception will be used to invest in your business? When the offer was laid, she accepted business. I proceeded to discuss with her parents who already knew we are together and told them that I am only coming go fulfill all traditional rites after that we just go for church blessings, no party no noise The mom was like, no nah! This is our first daughter and we need to at least celebrate it. I understood clearly but we cannot kill ourselves to prove a point. Both families are not strong, I am a struggling young man who remembers my root and what it means for a child to sleep hungry. I told the mom, mummy, you already know my root and your root too. Which will you prefer? We prove a point and hope God blesses us tomorrow or we save the money, invest it for your daughter and her children not to go hungry? I already have my business thriving, I wouldn't want to do anything that will affect me and when we get married, we will now be stressing the business. Outside the business capital I have some nice savings and part of it is what I am setting outside for the marriage rites. The rest is set aside for my wife's business and other unforseen events. Business capital must never be touched. The father spoke and said he supports our decision and it's a wise one. So the decision has been made. Come March 2023 we will be tying the knot. In a low key way and continue our together forever life. 4 Likes 1 Share |

RestructureNig1:It’s only someone who is not wise that will leave traditional marriage and be doing extra, even the church that’s advising you knows fully well that the most acceptable form of marriage in Nigeria is the traditional marriage, which is why they must refer you to do that first before coming to church for white wedding or registry, you people should stop spending money anyhow there’s life after marriage that’s the most important thing If you get married and have series of debts to pay then your home will not be sweet until such debts is cleared, we should learn to do things within our means. |

Good! Now ask your woman, (for those intending to get married soon) would you stick with the traditional marriage or go for the flamboyant white wedding? Most would go for the so called flamboyant 'white wedding' while celebrating the traditional low key. That's part of the problem we are also facing here. Meanwhile, I, Offpoint and some Nairalanders would be going with this style of marriage, wetin remain na the sensible woman. I watch one on IG some couple of days ago, it took place in Tennessee . the priest prayed for them near a small river they put ring on theirself kissed each other and went Straight to their car . whites live a very small and simple life thou not all of them . In my mind I was like this kind wedding na only Jesus fit split them , cause them no cast theirself. Wedding these days in Nigeria is just like paparazzi and show off to me 1 Like |

Later, you will talk about people not letting social media deceive them, because I can bet my thumbs that the only kind of feminists you've ever met are women online.
