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.

Nicely put.

AlphaTaikun:

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.

Leave us alone that’s what makes us Africans

if shamelessness was a person.

Jestin:
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

yes, I Will keep mine simple like that too. My wedding is for my loved one to share in my joy.

siofra:

Wow. This ediot think there aren't people who think like him, somebody epp.

'Likes' is your comeback? The fact that people agree with you means you made sense?

So that means Obi is very sensible too then; look at the number of people supporting him.

Go to YouTube and see atheists making videos cussing God and the number of likes it gets. There are so many pastors preaching nonsense too, and they have supporters.

You didn't say anything groundbreaking, lmao. Stupeed people will always like stupeed things and posts.

Oh wow. What a greatly destabilising clapback. Damn. E touch me. I am as valueless as an inanimate object. That's so crushing I have no choice but to deactivate my account, but I must first say that that is rich coming from someone chasing clout with "feminism." You don't look for relevance on the Internet, but 40 likes dey make your brain spark .

This one is a ********** (sha).

Seun Nlfpmod.

Rule 2 o.

This girl just like bashing male Nairalanders which erupts bad image to Nairaland.

RestructureNig1:
Africans have their own wedding but spend a lot doing European weddings and wearing fake hair. Africans are shameless have low self esteem. Tụfịakwa

First of all, weddings were invented by Africans. And they are the ones who brought the traditions in Europe. With time the practice developed in its particular way in Europe.

Now, the reason why we do not perform wedding following our traditional practice is simply acculturation and inferiority complex.
