Be like say you be Tinubu supporter, and you're always fond of talking off-point. What kind of drug are you using, separate from others? undecided

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.

Better to keep quiet than using words you don't know their meanings indiscriminately.

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
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 .

That account is operated by a black man with a white DP. The moment I saw "him" writing in caps, I knew it's one of those frustrated Yahoo boys who has no money for wedding. I could feel his anger. Though, he has a point.

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 smiley
Moreover, Asian is not exceptional but why focus on Africa undecided

Because of foolishness.

Copying other people's culture verbatim can be seen as an act of foolishness most especially when you at the same look down at your own culture.
That's all
This goes to include all imported RELIGIONS too
Simply because of compound foolishness

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!
Okay. Seems I don't even understand all these ceremonies enough. Because it's engagement, then church wedding I see people do.

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

Sometimes I wonder why we blacks are like this. It's even competition if you didn't make a big wedding here in Nigeria. At list white wedding should be for only virgins not olosho in disguise. Imagine spending millions on one olosho that has used all her life on hook up. If some men know the 3 some olosho dey are parading as wife.

It's a good feeling to be married in the church as a Christian.
What I have always preached against is the idea of a "Christian" getting married twice.
They'll have their traditional marriage aka trad., then go ahead to have a church marriage aka white wedding.
A Christian doesn't need a trad.
Traditional marriages are for people who aren't Christians.

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.

Where is the lie?

Last relationship ended because she asked for my ideal wedding and I was like what wedding? 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. She got really offended and cold. Safe to say it took me a few months but I got over it. Still single by the way. Almost all 9ja babes na the same when it comes to wedding.

Eat it all on that day and abandon the man when money no dey after all na man e be.

Some got no sense. Some want to show. I know a family that paid debt incurred on wedding for 3 years after the event..

A father took bank loan of 3 million from Habib Bank in early 2000 to fund daughter's wedding only for the marriage to crash 6 months later.

I know people that rented house they could not furnish. Only to move out few years later because they cant keep up with rent.
One of them moved back to his family house.

Stupid people everywhere.
stop disturbing urself over someone else life..its not ur loan..na

Is called church wedding not White wedding.
Why so much hate on White people.,(Racism against the white man.)

siofra:
That's church wedding not white wedding.

Why did the church adopt the European traditional wedding and leave our own traditional wedding?

Do European Christians do African wedding?

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.
