Early this year some guy tweeted he won’t cough more than fifty thousand naira for his wedding and Nigerian Twitter went hard on him. Say what? So many Nigerian couples have been engaged for more than fifteen years and the excuse is always FUNDS for a wedding ceremony! I decided to make a list based on this budget and realised a 50K wedding is possible. I mean a proper wedding with a bridal train, cake, small chops, drinks, wine and jollof rice. You’ll even end up with N50 change by the time you are done. See list below… A set of one carat diamond wedding rings from Jumia (Black Friday Price): N4000 Cost of hire of fairly used Aba made wedding gown: N3500 White high heels from Dealdey: N3500 Five yards of black material for black suit at N700 per yard: N3000 Tailor Workmanship: N3000 Starched white shirt from Yaba Market: N1000 Men shoes from Ikeja Along: N2500 Groom old tie: N0 12 inches of Remi Brazilian Hair: N7000 Ozone Relaxer: N150 Bride Accessories (Old ones): N0 Hairdresser charges: N1700 Groom Haircut: N300 Best Man- Freestyle with old suit: N0 Freshly plucked hibiscus flowers as bride bouquet: N0 Bridesmaid dresses for a train of three- freestyle (On Your Own): N0 Bridal Makeup DIY: N0 Bridal train makeup DIY: N0 Cost of bulk sms as wedding invites (100 sms for 100 guests): N300 Car hire from relative or friend: N0 Car Decoration(Balloons & ribbons): N500 Fuel: N3000 Wedding Venue (Church in Lagos): N0 Wedding Photography (A friend or relative iPhone): N0 Photogrid app for editing/pasting Bella Naija logo on photos: N0 Reception Venue (Open field Somewhere at Ota): N0 Cost of hire of 20 white plastic chairs: N2000 Reception MC (Bride or groom relative): N0 Music from relatives phone (China phone preferably): N0 London used mobile phone speaker from computer village: N2000 Wedding Cake from Cakes&Cream: N3500 Short bread from Balogun Market (Feeding of the couple): N300 Fresh agege Bread as surplus for feeding of the couple (If groom is still hungry): N100 Five Alive juice (Feeding of the couple): N350 A crate of 35cl coke (For the few long throat wedding guests who still followed to Ota): N1500 Freshly made zobo as wedding guests wine: N1000 Disposable cups to stand in as glasses: N500 One packet of cabin for small chops: N700 5 wraps of Onitsha chinchin mixed together for small chops: N500 Big pack of gala diced in circles as small chops: N500 Twenty five packs of locally prepared jollof rice from Iya Basira: N2500 Bic biros as wedding souvenir: N500 Miscellaneous: N500 Balance: N50 Now you can share this with someone planning a wedding soon.

Business / 11 Annoying Things About Yaba Market by Naijasinglegirl: 11:17am On Dec 21, 2015 |
The mallams at the entrance ALWAYS thinking you are there to change naira to dollars in this unstable economic environment. I can’t even remember the last time I held a dollar. The traders beckoning at passerby’s not caring if they passing to work. And the aggressive traders waiting to pull your hands roughly once you approach the market. My hands are always sore by the time I get home. You can’t haggle prices Yaba traders are known for their ferocious tongue. They’ll smile & ask you to state a price for their wares and if you under price them, they’ll curse your future, present and past generation. Before I price any item, I usually say.”Promise me you are not going to insult me when I state the price I have.” No freedom of movement Once a particular trader notices you’ve passed his shade more than thrice without stopping, he’ll inform his fellow traders and they’ll all take their turns to throw jabs at you. You can’t go through a trader wares for more than five minutes without picking an item. Stay longer and you’ll start hearing nonsense like, “See, looku looku why you dey scatter my market. Disappear olosho.” “Oya, commot for here useless girl.” There was a time I was going through a bail of skirts and after 5 mins, the trader impatiently said. “Abi you dey find the new skirt style wey get legs for my market?” They decide what you buy I was ransacking a stock of tops and the trader asked what I was looking for. I told him I needed a black crop top and the guy raised his head to say I am very stupid. That he had a bail of nice tops and rather than pick a decent one, I wanted a crop top so I can roam around Lagos naked. I quietly left. Liars everywhere A trader would swear on his ancestor grave that he has the midi skirt you are looking for then make you walk the length of the railway with him only to produce an ugly dinner gown that is totally unrelated with what you asked for. And then the ones that would say you need to shop with them cos Omotola just left their shop. Majority are illiterates I also asked another trader for a kimono. “Kimo wetin?” He said. “Kimono!” I repeated, “Don’t you know it?” He replied, “See your mouth like kimimi? E be like say you don drink come market. Common commot for here!” Yaba Affiliates Traders These set of people are very annoying. They have no stock but spend their time sourcing for customers to take those they have “deals” with so they inflate the price of wares and get as much as 30 percent commission in some cases. Watch out for the crooks I walked into a shop and asked if they had a black dress. The trader told me to sit that they had very nice dresses if I was patient enough to wait. Moments after, he went into an inner room and emerged with a bottle of maltina. I told him it wasn’t necessary but he insisted he is usually very nice to customers and opened the drink. I collected it and placed it on the ground beside me. After waiting for an eternity, he threw the most ugly navy blue dress I have ever seen in my life at me. I told him I don’t like it & I need to leave. He said I was very stupid that he would make me regret entering his shop if I don’t drop N150 for the free malt. Your hair is never nice enough The hairdressers at the railway will always beckon at you to change your hairstyle no matter how new or nice your hair looks. Silly pet names My colour, my type, miss world, agbani, Genevieve, Omo sexy, my wife, ashawo etc. And the very annoying traders that would ask in all seriousness how your mother and father are doing. Or how you look so much like their sister in the village. [b]They assume every girl is a UNILAG student [/b]Even when you look like you are in your late 60’s or you arrive in a Ferrari, they keep promising to give you ‘student price’ if you shop with them or how you will look good if you wear a particular dress to school. http://naijasinglegirl.com/annoying-things-about-yaba-market/ 85 Likes 11 Shares |

Romance / Why Do People Abandon Their Single Friends After Marriage? by Naijasinglegirl: 6:13am On Dec 16, 2015 |
I wish I knew a better way to rephrase this question. You have seen many married people slowly cut ties with their single friends. Is it just natural that they instantly cease to have things in common or is it a society expectation? It is common among ladies. Some friends even cut ties with their friends once they have a boyfriend! Common b o y f r i e n d !!! Some won’t even invite their single friends to their weddings or when they do, the single ones are made to wear a different type of asoebi as though they are wild animals that the wedding guests should be cautious of. (proof is attached on the url below) I wouldn’t be asking if I haven’t been a victim. A friend of mine got engaged 7 months ago and I was busy turning up and down for her. Her wedding is this coming Saturday and I noticed last night that she’s no longer on my BBM. I feel I don’t deserve it cos I respect people’s space a lot. No matter how close we were before you got hitched, I would respect your privacy once you start a family. I have never ever gone to the house of a married friend on my own volition and I am also quick to turn down invites once I sense that you are inviting me because you feel obligated to. Phone calls or chats once in a blue moon will do for me but there are still friends that will avoid any form of communication with you but run for advice from you as a single person that knows nothing when things get a bit rocky in their marriages. Some even go as far as looking for married friends pen pals on blogs and social networks like they didn’t make their bed. Since this is now the in-thing, my new motto is,”Cut the engaged ones off before they cut you!” http://naijasinglegirl.com/why-do-people-abandon-their-single-friends-after-marriage/ |

Romance / My Boyfriend Hunting Experience In Lekki by Naijasinglegirl: 9:50am On Dec 01, 2015 |
I asked a close single friend to accompany me on one of Let's call the new girl Suzy. I told my friend I was going to consider going out with Suzy on the condition that she doesn't tell Suzy what my actual intentions were before she goes about telling people that I am always roaming Lagos looking for a man. So Saturday evening, Suzy met me at home and we set off to The Palms at Lekki with my N4500 vex money tucked in my pocket. I should have read the signs when we got to Obalende and she said there is no way she is going to arrive The Palms in a danfo or Keke Napep amongst all those rich people. I already had a balance of N4300 and N1500 for a cab from Obalende to The Palms seemed reasonable so I willingly paid since I was the one that dragged her out. We barely arrived the mall when she grabbed my arm and led me to Coldstone. "I'm craving Icecream like mad," she said. She ordered four flavours while I watched from the corner. I have had Coldstone Icecream only twice (the best Ice-cream I have ever had in my life and a friend brought it home) but I was scared of ordering since I didn't know the actual price before I end up washing Ice cream cones in the event I am unable to pay. When she collected her ice-cream, she said, "OMG! This new malt flavour is so nice. *NSG* you need to try it!" Before I could say the doctor said Coldstone Ice-cream is not good for my kidney, she had already ordered two scoops of malt flavour for me. There were too many people there and I didn't want to cause a scene so I collected the ice cream with a very heavy heart...and paid with my money cos Suzy was already walking away...licking hers greedily. I have never been so miserable licking ice cream all my life. I just kept thinking of how many plates of fanice my N1200 could have gotten me at Shoprite! Once we were done, I told her let's move around She took me inside one boutique and spent close to an hour checking out bags and clothes. She wasted one hour of my life cos she didn't buy anything! When we got out, she said she didn't have strength to move around except she eats. Before I could tell her let's go out to the Aboki's Place at Sandfield for indomie&egg, she grabbed my hands and led me to KFC. She told me to reserve a seat for us & watch her bag while she ordered food. Minutes later, I saw her approaching our table with a tray containing two cartons of KFC! She said "Ermm... your own food is N1200. I didn't get drink for you cos I didn't know which one you would like." Then she pushed one of the cartons containing two pieces of chicken and chips to my side of the table. KFC when I was only hungry for a man? "What is this? Did I tell you to buy me FOOD! Did I tell you I was hungry! Is this why we are here? Now I don't even have transport to return home!" I shouted. She said she was very sorry that she thought I was hungry too and she was going to take care of our tp home. I took out N1200 from my bag and slid it to where she sat. The silly girl quickly took the money and put it inside her purse while I sat frowning. I was too angry to touch my food while she ate hers in relish. I decided that I can as well eat it since the damage had already been done. I cut big slices of chicken with a handful of chips and swallowed hurriedly cos I was too angry to chew. In the process, bone got stuck in my throat. The silly Suzy had already finished her drink, I had only N200 in my bag, no ATM card and I was too proud to beg. I couldn't even breathe or speak well cos of the bone and thirst. I told her we needed to get home ASAP but she said I should chill for thirty mins that she had texted her boyfriend' to come pick us cos a heavy rain had began to fall. I thought of the major reason I was there and how to make the most of my thirty minutes but the rain had chased all the Lekki bachelors out of the mall. I was almost shedding tears cos I just spent N4,500 for nothing! Eventually, Suzy's boyfriend showed up! One igbo boy that had permed the life out of his hair. We all went to sit at the general cafeteria. Both of them were engaging in PDA and discussing relationship people problems. The silly boy could not even offer to buy me water to flush down the bone in my throat. I took out my phone and started playing candy crush until my phone died. Time was about 9pm and neither of them said anything about us leaving the mall...and there I was, almost dying of thirst. He turned to Suzy and said, "Your friend has been so quiet. Why?" What is an angry single girl supposed to contribute to relationship people discussion? Why won't I be quiet when a bone was choking my throat? Why won't I be quiet when his girlfriend would rather use all her strength to 'baby, I love you' her boyfriend rather than help me hunt for my own boyfriend? I just told them I am sleepy and I didn't come here to count stars in the mall. That was when both of them finally got up. I got home around 10:35pm. What a stupid weekend! http://naijasinglegirl.com/my-boyfriend-hunting-experience-in-lekki/ 79 Likes 8 Shares |

Food / My Disastrous Experience Making Moi-moi by Naijasinglegirl: 11:55am On Oct 26, 2015 |
As a teenager, I always heard the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach. I believed it. What I didn’t realize at that time was that the food had to taste good to get there. When Uncle IK and his newly wedded wife became my aunt’s next door neighbors, they took a special liking to me and I made the mistake of bragging about my cooking prowess. I don’t know what I was thinking, offering to give both of them a moimoi treat. http://naijasinglegirl.com/the-moimoi-that-refused-to-orgasm/ 198 Likes 31 Shares |

Health / Toilet Tissue Or Water. Which Is Right? by Naijasinglegirl: 9:01pm On Oct 08, 2015 |
I was team tissue. Then I visited my friend in her self-contained apartment and I noticed her boyfriend asked for water rather than tissue after taking a dump. It was his birthday and he offered me a piece of cake from a bag he came with when he got out of the toilet with his shitty hands. I was aware of what those hands did there so I cooked up a story of how my doctor had warned me to cut down my sugar intake. I’m only comfortable with eating cake with butter icing, not shit icing tbh! My friend somehow figures my reason for refusing to eat the cake or extend my hand for a goodbye handshake when he was about leaving. As soon as he’s gone, she tells me I am the unhygienic one, that I am the only one still using tissue when THE WHOLE WORLD is using water to clean after pooping She goes on to give me a sermon of how tissue causes infection, smelly anus and other genital diseases. All my life I have never given this a second thought. This has to do with my being brought up to perform all shitting activities within the hour I am having my morning shower so technically,I have been TeamTissue and TeamWater without even knowing it. But her sermon scared me. I have too many problems and I am not ready to add a smelly nyash to the list of them. Wednesday evening, an old friend calls me to stop by his office. I barely arrived when the devil struck. I think it has to do with the Yoruba stew I treated myself to earlier. I can’t even say hi properly cos my legs are twirling, butt pepperish and my breathing is frantic. He asks what’s wrong and I say I need to use the ladies ASAP. He takes me through a long corridor and leaves me where this nice looking toilet is located. Done with my business, I noticed there is no tissue but there is a faucet and tub. I was anally stranded but I could not start calling the guy to cry for tissue on phone when “THE WHOLE WORLD is using water to clean after…” The facial wipes in my bag were barely enough to save me so I guessed it was time to join ‘the whole world.’ THE WHOLE WORLD, HOW DO YOU GUYS EVEN DO THAT COS I HAD TO STRIP TO MY BRA TO WASH PROPERLY There was water running down my thighs and legs. I guessed I won’t be able to wear my panties again. I feel like I just had a shower without towelling dry. I attempt to use a hair dryer from one of the shelves but an angry lady is banging at the door, warning whoever is taking ages to get out cos she needs to carry out her evening cleaning routine. I quickly wore my clothes but my damp trousers won’t let me keep my legs together as I walk to my friend’s office. TeamWater, how do you guys do it? Epp me! http://naijasinglegirl.com/water-or-tissue/ 5 Likes 4 Shares |
