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!

How many of our Nigerian ladies will accept to do this kind of wedding?

you're definitely a "wife material".

OLUWA... MA JEVKIN KUSHE LOJO IGBEYAWO MI OOOO

U skipped so many important required expenses!!!!! I don't pray for such wedding rather I pray for an exotic and epic wedding for myself

May your wedding be like this in Jesus name. Amen

That guy must be from :-

I dont know why we place so much emphasies on the cost of wedding. Let me ask you, is the amount you spend on a wedding directly proportional to how blessed your married life would be?

Screw you Poverty

LWKMD

If I brought a gift for the couple for this kind of wedding, I'll just take it back home.

Good question. The cost of wedding plays no rule in determining the success of the marriage. No mind those 'eye pleasers' wey go spend their life savings and even borrow just to impress their 'amebo' guests.

Goodness gracious. Lwkmd. Then I do rather have just an engagement party and enter my husband house than all these embarrassments. Big weddings are sometimes waste of resources that could be channelled into something else. But if u have more than the money then why not?

Ozone 150

I concur

49,500 is still too much.
Planning to do my weeding in MORNING MASS with

Exactly 'i want my marriage to be the talk of the town' that is whats on many people's mind and after few months(God forbid) they will start having financial problem.

Lolz

As long as the BRIDEPRICE is fully paid, the rest is mere SHOW-OFF.

N. B
Op, I don't pray for that kind of Wedding.

It's NSG again

LOL

FYM

Despite the fact that am not extravagant in nature, I wouldn't want to wish this kind of wedding for myself. I know some people might say wedding is just for a day. But I think that day should be one of the most important days in my life, so I wouldn't want it to flop.

correct breakdown NSG.
Its not about the wedding, but the life after the wedding.
