Jestin:God bless you bro. I’m glad I’m not the only one with this mindset. It has nothing to do with not having the money . It’s not just my thing . There are things I can never spend too much money on no matter how rich i am. I’m a very traditional man . 1 Like |

I think it mostly because of the colonization and Christianity coz we believe more in white wedding than traditional. It not even call White wedding, it church wedding Moreover, Asian is not exceptional but why focus on Africa |

We Africans do that because most of us are yet to be freed from colonialists mentality.. Free yourselves from mental slavery. |

The truth is, we've lost our sense of Africanese(if English permits the word) we've relegated everything about our culture and placed a huge importance on the white mans. I just hope our culture doesn't go extinct in years to come |

The reason is because Africans are the most stupid set of people on earth. |

HomeTutorsPro: Did your Bible tell you this? Anyway you are wrong, Biblically once you fulfill the requirements of marriage that is required according to customs you are married and it is valid in the eyes of God. So even if you marry according to Asian, Indian, Yoruba, igbo, hausa, Japanese whatever custom you are married and it is valid, even the church recognizes it. In the Bible there was no church wedding, they married according to their culture. The same Nigerian churches that will tell you if you have not done church wedding you are not married in the eyes of God is still the same church that will tell you once you have paid dowry you are married and you can't marry again, the customary marriage is binding. Here once you fulfill the requirements by the parents/ family (bride price, etc) you are married and it's very valid in the eyes of God. The only reason why some people are shouting against solemnization in church is because of the way our Nigerian churches have blown it out of proportion. It shouldn't be more mthan a 20 minute ceremony honestly and it can be done in the Pastors office, according to how the couples desire. I am not catholic but have attended the wedding of a friend, was a simple mass, they joined and we went home. The other was my church pentecostal , after the trad, they came to church next day and were joined in Pastors office. Even the oyinbos don't make these things hard like we do here. 2 Likes |

Christianity and Pagan religion are intertwined, look at Easter celebration , its actually Ishtar the god of fertility, thats being celebrated. On xmas day Odin is celebrated.

A traditional wedding for me and I'm done. The older you get, the more you just want something simple. Fixate on the marriage rather than the wedding. 1 Like |
