As much as the cost of celebrating marraiges is relative, with all indices assumed to be normal, how much should ideally be budgeted to cover cost of traditional and white wedding in Nigeria.

Please your opinions should be based on the emphasis, 'AVERAGE NIGERIAN' and on the economic condition prevalent in the country.

I would love contributions from single female folks and married men and just about anyone wit an idea.

well i know ur currency is quite different in nija but the crowd is bigger at weddings there from what ive heard. and u party longer there. Average nija wedding here for trad and white is costing between 10 and 20 thousand dollars.

that is probably between 1.5Million to 3Million approximately which should be enough for an average wedding/traditional marriage inclusive in Nigeria

I support o. Don't think you will be able to get drinks and food for 150k. A cow alone is worth close to that and except you plan on serving Limca to a low no of guests, like 100, that amount will go nowhere.

#70 naira only , don't spend much
Just ask ur guest to bring dr own food as dey come.
They should bear in mind dat drs no music
And shouldn't expect gifts as dey go either
#best econonical advice ever

I wonder if the guy think that wedding is importing 40ft container of goods from China.


@OP
Go and read about Mark Zuckerberg's wedding and do same.

No time to impress those that doesn't care.

Why spend so much to feed the whole world in a day who care not about your marital life after the ceremony, aand pro'ly visit another wedding the following weekend.

When you see a married couple
walking down the street, the one that's
a few steps ahead is the one that's
mad.
