Sometime last year, I met a lady. At the time I met her things were not working for me the way I had expected. In fact, my career had somehow stagnated even though I was in a new job then.

Prior to meeting her, I was seeing someone who I once overheard complaining to a friemd of having sex with someone in her dreams and in that dream, she already has a family with this strange person in that dream. This coupled with other negative feelings i had made me leave the relationship.

Now comes this new girl. Within 2 months of meeting her (5months into the job), my employment was confirmed with a promotion to booth. I must say that this confirmation typically takes 1yr to 18months. 4 months later (totalling 9months on the job), I was promoted again to a mid level managerial position. Again, this typically takes around 3yrs for others. My company cited "exceptional service delivery", but deep down I know it's not just that, I'm that instinctive. Now, I'm not the type of person to easily find favor in people's eyes or the type people just wants to stick out for. But since I met her, even at my workplace, my superiors have taken special interest in me, I just can't do any wrong.

Now, deep down, I know some things have changed. Even mentally, i have become more purposeful as she is a very driven person. I've never mentioned to her about these changes I've noticed in my life.
The thing is that when we talk, albeit jokingly she always say that she came into my life and everything changed, that the day I will try nonsense with her (cheat or breakup), my life will just scatter. Even today she said it that the "spirit" (context is important here) working for her had to smoothen my life when she came into it, lest I infect her with my troubles, I jokingly replied that my mother's prayers are working wonders in my lofe, and she said that I should be happy she is in my life. A lot of the time, she has made such comments. There was a day she said that if I keep her happy, that I will keep enjoying. She says God answers her prayers and honestly, her life is good. It just feels like she has everything all figured out.

Honestly, everything feels better around me since I met her and i also believe in the notion that some people can pull good fortune to you, but I'm also apprehensive. What if i cheat on her, what if i break up with her?

Has anyone had this type.of encounter? Please, she is not a bad person. I'm just wondering if there are truly people like this.

Since you are apprehensive, try cheating on her let's see what would happen

Baby daddy of 9years? You said "kids", meaning you have more than one child. Yet this baby daddy of 9years isn't able to raise 350k, but he' was able to foot hospital bills and raise kids. Sincerely speaking, I don't think 350k is too much. This is the solution. Go for a court marriage with your man. Then move in with him, make sure you do the court marriage before you move in. Baby daddy should invest the 150k, or hand it over to you to invest, don't play with the money, hopefully the money should be able to yield the 350 in one years time, then he can go back and settle your bride price.
Your baby daddy was wrong to post marriage invitation on FB, even when he didn't have complete money and the situation complicated.

Your dad has done badly, he discriminated a physically challenged son in-law, rather than be supportive. Your dad can't have a good relationship with your husband in future, he should not complain when your hubby treats him with disdain in the far future.

If you know the true story of this lady and her baby daddy, I don't think you will make such statement about her dad.

There was a tank explosion at factory tank farm in Kogi state on Monday. Jackson only went up for a routine check and dipping but was caught up in the explosion. The tank was a million liter tanks having about 150,000 liters ethanol before the explosion. Causes of the explosion still remain unknown.
Quite painful that you are gone Jackon AKA Ability. May your gentle soul rest in peace

So sorry for ur loss. Ethanol is a highly volatile and inflammable liquid. Storing such voluminous quantity requires proper and stiff safety measures.

Airtel are scam. I stopped using them weeks ago.

Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, has resigned sources close to her told Daily Trust.

It is not clear when she submitted her resignation letter.


According to our source, the resignation followed the allegation of not serving the compulsory National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, and obtaining a certificate that the NYSC have disowned.

The minister felt that her position is becoming untenable and is hurting the President in the run up to the 2019 election.


More details will follow.

happydavies:
pay for d traditional rites,leave d ceremony

I think I will go wit this.. Lyk how much will this take. Can u giv an estimate..

happydavies:
then do an indoor trad

how pls

Johnbosco1:
Plan the wedding with your fiancee. If she's matured and willing to live with you forever, then 1mil will do to an extent. The fact you are the one bringing out the money doesn't mean it is "your" wedding alone.
I tell you the truth, if you really want to marry her according to ngwa people traditional standards and do your white wedding on separate days, that money won't do anything not unless you are planning to celebrate with 5-6 persons as some people suggested. Plan with her and she may clear the runway(talking to her parents) ahead of you. She may not say how she would help but know this, they all help especially when it comes to having a partner that is not from Ngwa.
That's a secret they wouldn't want me to share, I hope you explore it.
PS. As much I love all the comments for this thread, suffice it to say that not even one person has had real experience with ngwa people and their marriage traditions. if they did, they would be inclined to tell you that they are almost similar to mbaise people when it comes to LIST. Be Wise

. Tank you my brother. During her sister's time, the mom had to intervene for the wedding to take place. Her sister's husband only paid bride price and then proceed to do the white wedding. But the community is still insisting that the man hasn't married their daughter yet

Rexnegro:

yes it should enough if u combine the two types of wedding same day, time management is key here tho....beside why white wedding ? am sure it's Ur fiancee wish to wear white wedding gown abi ? women sha they can be crazy abt white wedding ehn. remember there's no award for best wedding ever , do ur thing bro according to Ur budget don't ever be tempted to spend past Ur budget. don't spend crazily on wedding and be broke in the marriage except u have billions somewhere . be wise

Thanks man. I appreciate

okey4reel:

Guy no fear about list, when the list is out just tick what you can afford, if u see 4 cartons of beer reduce am to 1 carton, everyone knows the country is hard, that was what i did during my trad wedding too last year, and look for an elder you can rub mind with and let them know that there is life after wedding oh, unless they want their daughter to go hungry.

. God bless you my brother. So how much u kon finally spend?

majamajic:


traditional is based on the state and town she is from, what extra u will spend will be on u.

Anambra, Enugu, ebonyi, and orlu zone part of imo state, their list is around 150- 400k


for White wedding the choice is all yours.

so million budget is more, to even get a new home and Start up a business for your wife after wedding. knowing friends will spray some cash for u to cover up some expenses.

She is Ngwa abia

enemyofprogress:
It won't be enough o. You'll need nothing less than ten million

All the very best once again.

ok thanks. Let me check it

LynnnCHI:
Yes a million is ok .

All you need to do is to make the two ceremonies same day.Preferably,the white wedding should be done in the village of the bride or around same town.You can do this in any time of the day,if you guys are catholic better!A priest can fix you guys on any during morning massFirst mass on a Sunday is sweet because the coverage in video will show we'll dressed congregants. Abt 600k


After that proceed to the venue of the traditional wedding.Do your thing.Avoid buying can drinks.Make sure more than 90 are in bottles.Avoid high drinks like Heineken and Guinness,buy in little quantities if you must.

Other cheap brands are Hero,Goldberg,Star,Legend,etc


I think a million naira is Ok
And during rainy season things are relatively cheap.I wish you the best.Atleast you get1 million.Some people no get to pay bride price sef.




Let's say my guy has 1 million this is what I will do.

First monetizing the whole thing may cost 300k to 350k including bride price.

2 cow head costs 40k.
You can add a carton of turkey like 10k-13k
Bag of rice 18k
Gallon of red oil ten liters is 4000
Vegetable oil 9000
Tomatoes fresh 6000
Tin tomatoes 3000
Other ingredients including Maggie salt and the rest around 7k
Two basket of onions 2k

Soap Egusi a bucket is ok
And ogbomo half bucket is ok
Every other ingredients for soup is minor.Na the meat and fish be the look

2 bag of semo 6k
Garry or Akpu 6k

You can add salad or moimoi if you want.Salad is perfered cos w cheap for rainy season.Cabbage carrot and Irish potatoes and eggs are ok with biggest bama.Person wey know how to run am no go spend more than 5k.Secret if good salad na creaming.Blend sugar with bama and peak milk and salad go sweet.

Remove like 20k for dried and stock fish
Cameroon pepper like 500 is ok
Crawfish bucket is 1500

Renting of pots and canopies depending on how many 25k

Renting of wedding gown like 20k

Both of your traditional wear both of you can wear good lace for 10 yards around 35k in lagos Island market.You can chose to wear normal Senator.Aba near Ph ,you fit run an there with your wedding suit.Just buy better check material see the suit them buy plain material for trouser wey go fit am.E no cost.Just use good tailor wey no work The color of trouser should be same as your blazers.

Better shoe for island you will buy 12k.But you can still buy two for that amount.If I'm a guy I go vesper buy correct OK sanders like 8k for traditional wedding and 5k shoe for whites.I don't like cover shoes on senator wears.Good leather palm sandals is classy!Just pedicure your legs well.

Gele and shoe around 10k
Beads like 3k
And there's provisions to rent if need be.

For drinks
250k is ok
You can buy local liquors like They sell 100 in four cartons.The reason is that this little drinks are handle and when guys begin to take it with other bottles they will get really high.Just make it available and cold.

Go for other hots like captain jack,etc

Calculate and get back to me make we add more.

Abt 500-600k

OkaNaUbe:


If it is Ngwa, it may be ok. Just organise both traditional and "white" weddings same day to save cost.

thanks

missyblissy:



Ok sit down with your fiancée and do the costing together. If i were you, i will kill 2 birds with one stone. Do both tradtional and white wedding same day and save your family alot of money and stress. That is what I did.

Do the whute wedding in morning and once you get back from church you do the traditional wedding and take yiur wife home. Thank u alot

If you are the type of person that gives a crap about what people will say, then bro 1million is nothing but if you are like me and all you want to make.her your wife and be happy and also. Have a lot of savings after the wedding, you will do what i did.

Concentrate on the important things like your wedding rings, your suit (please ignore those flashy suits, you will not able to wear it after, go for cool colours like navy blue, grey or traditonal black suit, that you can wear after your wedding), wife go for rented gown (only need it for few hours and thats it), your shoes, your traditional attires, good photographer, and decor. Food, drinks, DJ.

In my time i did it in the east and my father's compund is big enougn, get canopys and decor will do the rest. Those that could make it to the wesding,thanks and those that couldn't, i understand. No pressure.

For your wife, she get a good make up artist (please not expensive but good), make a lovely hair cos she will be using same hair for both occassions.

Please leave asoebi out of. It. It. is really stressful. If you have a large family like i did they wore same colours eg role blue for headtie and deep pink lace for women, while the men wore while inner and royal Blue Agbada. (my hubby is youruba) and it the wedding beautiful and the pictures.....lovely.

Ensure you fullfil all items on your wifes list. As for my mothers list she selected what she needed from the list and asked for money to get it herself and it wasn't much at all. (pray your mother in law do the same) it will save you a lot of cash.

For my wedding cards i printed 100 and didnt get to give all out in the end.

There's life after wedding... That is marriage,you dont need only love for it work,money too matters else it will frustrating amd you start having thoughts that you shouldnt have in. The. First place. Be wise Bro!!!!!

thankz alot

jektony:


Truth be told, 1 million can't and wont be ok if you are gonna have this event on two separate days, the white wedding will drain you so much, put the following into consideration: Hall, Food & Drinks, Decoration, etc...so my advice to you, merge your Trad and white together...since my 4 months of being married, nobody don com ask us if we dey chop at all.....no do wedding to please anyone, after that wedding day...na #OYO be your neew State of origin

lol. Thank u
