Nairaland Ads / Re: Discussion Of Nairaland's New Targeted Ads by zinfly: 5:43pm On Dec 30, 2013 |
Hi Seun, could you kindly clarify your pricing plan . Your minimum price is 5k, so if the choosen plan is less than 5k does that mean the ad will run for 2 months assuming the choosen plan is priced at 2500 per month. If not how exactly does this work. |

Wizeboy: The Federal Government has declared Thursday, January 24, 2013 as public holiday to commemorate the Muslim Eid-El-Maulud celebration.. What the heck is does a minister of interior and director of citizenship and business do. The title itself doesn't make any sense. |

babyosisi: i am really considering moving the whole thing from Nigeria. it will be cheaper. classy and memorable. i have really tried to be reasonable here. i eliminated ashebi cos i don't want that fuss. i have asked no one to contribute and i dont mind if you dont bring me a gift. both i and my fiance are fully responsible for our wedding. We just want a happy day less of moaning guest. the problem also is that Nigerians are not demure in their comment. i have seen people work their ass off to do wedding only for people to say the wedding was rubbish, there wasn't enough drinks and food. i was brought up to understand that you attend a wedding to show your support to the couple -food or no food. why do i have to waste my time and effort to please people i don't know. i think the more i read this comment, i become more adamant so that i will either move the whole thing or get heavily armed me. After the wedding i will pack my bags and go. its just cos my inlaws are too frail to attend abroad if not there will be no question about this ***Sigh*** 3 Likes |

some-girl: my dear the whole thing beats me. i feel even worse coming to NL to ask for advise. people are making me feel guilty and calling me stingy for not wanting people i know nothing about at my wedding. i wish people can just understand that it not about food or stingyness. i just want orderliness. i don't want people standing around and people looking confused not knowing where to go. i am not one of those brides that will calm down if i see my guest very confused and standing with a plate of food in their hands. All i want order. Uninvited guest in one way or the other inconvenience those who are bonafide guest. why is that so freaking too much to ask in a 21st century Nigeria. |

rick.ross: My dear, i commend your good work. its lovely for you to feed the nation. But like its said Charity begins at home. if i only want to feed my own, that is my decision. call it stingy or what you may. i am not the government or social security neither does your wasteful government invite their poor to eat everyday. you have sent a standard for your goodness. i am in no way obligated to follow your footsteps. So let me be charitable in my own way. you may feed at xmas but have u no idea what i do for the poor around. its my wedding and want do not uninvited guest . SIMPLE. 1 Like |

crisycent: Tell us the truth so we can advice you better. Why don't you want uninvited guests at your wedding? Is it because you are scared of your ex? lol.. i am marrying my first love. that is why i want it really classy. i met him at 16 and i am turning 26 soon. its been 10 years building up to this marriage. |

[quote author=babyosisi] No offense but you sound like a perpetual gate crasher of events from the way you have made all manner of excuses why this is a bad idea Stop it because one day someone may embarrass you Take this as a friendly advise [/quote babyosisi and goldie lets all agree to disagree. In as much as i agree with your views babyosisi, Goldie also has a realistic point of view. I am grateful to both of you for your candid advise and you will be the first to know how it went |

Goldieluks: i get where you are coming from Goldieluks but like babyosisi said i only have souv to cater for 300 people. and food for same and maybe more. i want to make sure that all my guest leave with a souv regardless of whether they give me a present or not. i don't see why its rocket science. "i don't know you please dont come". i don't want to offend anybody but i have people coming from various places and i just want to make sure it was worth their while. |

Goldieluks: @OP It is your wedding and you have every right to enjoy your day. i have never in my life attended an event i have not been invited to. i attended my cousins wedding few years ago. the noise and commotion caused by uninvited guest was not a nice sight. there were ushers but people were trooping the kitchen to look for food. i dont know about you but i felt like vomiting after the whole thing. i was the maid of honour but did not witness the couple cut cake cos i kept being pulled out to mobilise food her guest who had not eaten. i know it our culture but its not right. 2 Likes |

babyosisi: Thanks for your advise,its very much appreciated. we have a separate room that can accommodate 50 kids and they will have like a kiddi party for them with lots of fun stuff for them to do. We are doing our best to accommodate all our guest. I dated my fiance for 10 years and for both of us this is like the icing on the cake for our relationship. we just want it very intimate and special to those who know our story. 4 Likes |

ARES: Let me share my plans with u. U want 300 pple, get 310 seats. Make sitting arangement and paste the name of every invited guest on each seat. Let me see where the gate crashers will seat. My mum suggested same but i was told that they will seat on the seat reserved for guest and because they owe you no iota of respect and they dont know you, they are ready to fight with your guest over seat. also bear in mind that such unwanted guest go early. i just feel like i am fighting a lost battle |

victord1st: so its now uncivilized for invited guest to come with their spouses.wouldn't attend any wedding if my wife isnt in town talk less of when she cant come because she isnt invited. we cater for those who have spouses. spouses are not exempt. my problem is friends of friend. let me put it in perspective. i invited a friend who invited 5 other strangers. one of the strangers is planning to bring another friend. i only knew about it cos my friend called to ask whether there is ashebi cos one of the friends friend who is coming can help me organize it. first there was no courtesy to ask if her friend could come but she has also endorsed her friends friend coming. For those who think i am harsh, she was uninvited 1 Like |

babyosisi: yeah we have all the names of those coming. We printed out 200 card. My parent and in laws have been reasonable and seem to respect our wishes as they have a list of all the people who have RSVP and kept the names. Our problem is the so called young friends. They seem to get out of control and tell everyone they meet. |

val_dubem: when U were carrying ur longer throat up and down peoples wedding and parties, did anybody bounce you? now you want to Chase people away from your own. What is good for Obi should equally be good for Musa. i have never attended a wedding in my entire life which i have not been invited to. i live in the UK and that is purely unacceptable. i don't mind people who know me coming to my wedding but for the sake of courtesy i expect them to let me know (RSVP) so i can accommodate them. What worries me is that some of these friends of friend i have never met. it not about food or money. i just want to make sure that my invited guest are well taken care of. i find it disheartening when invited guest are standing or have had nothing to eat and friend of friend is at the front seat. Hope you understand. 2 Likes |

I need suggestions please. i am getting married soon and would like 300 guest maximum. i have already been advised by a few friends that they will be bringing their friends. Firstly i find that rude as i understand weddings are meant for close friends and family. I am considering getting bouncer and security. Is this acceptable in Nigeria. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

anishe: The findings are still incomplete cos my wife will put to bed there when she goes for her Masters next year. I must have a citizen of UK as my son or daughter. Planning for old age in my own little way.. Being born in the uk does not qualify a child for citizenship. She should have her child in the united states if she wants automatic citizenship status. |
Crime / Re: Mother Of Lloyd (One Of The UNIPORT 4) Expresses Shock by zinfly: 2:03pm On Oct 09, 2012 |
Anyone who has a conscience stony enough to watch a person being killed in as much as to deem it a sight delightful enough to capture it on video is a murderer. Everyone who stood there should be captured and should face a similar fate a those young men. Such disgusting news is so frequent that is now deemed normal. I am still trying to get my head round the Absu gang rape video, Cynthia, the guy who was shot one week after his wedding and Mubi. Not one of these innocent souls have got justice. I turn my TV on and i hear illiterates we call politicians reading off jargon's from a piece of paper prepared for them talking endlessly about nothing. A similar incident happened in front of my secondary school and children gathered to watch a man burn. the smell of it still gives me nightmares and i cant understand how a humane human can find such a gory sight fascinating. |

[quote author=sassygal]Hi zinfly, There's actually no need to panic! You have got 4 months to plan. You can find all the vendors you need on nairaland, just make sure you have seen their past work. Being a perfectionist isn't so much a bad thing, i am one too and have learnt to use that trait to my advantage thanks dear, hopefully i can have it all sorted out before Feb. My hubby to be an I don't live in Nigeria so its kinda hard to plan when you are not there and i just cant seem to trust anyone with the little details. Hence, i jumped at this chance so i can speak to vendors before i come back for Xmas. Most vendors seem to be based in Lagos and many that do respond do not have websites. i will be on the lookout and hope good vendors with webpages respond. |
