    1. That is even so low. I watched a documentary about how a couple/parents plans to spend £56.3M on wedding and my reaction was wedding is no more personal. It is now about class and prestige. Nigerians have a way of making things difficult. My friend's daughter's wedding is now on hold here in the UK because her fiancee's family who are Ghanaians said she is arrogant because the man's mother feels some things are too outrageous and my friend's daughter stood up for herself(not wise at all) Now we are begging her.

    2. 12:52 I understand the mentality of the woke generation z on “stood up for herself” I hope that wedding never holds so she and any of her friends who hears would learn. No decorum or applied wisdom to weigh situations or read a room before they brazenly disrespect anyone at all.

  4. In my place, I am Efik by the way; the man coming to marry you foots everything. From your wedding gown, traditional marriage attire to the food and drinks, everything. It is believed that the man/husband is a provider and head of the home, he should be able to take care of his wife and it starts from the marriage rites.

    But in the west here where I grew up I found out that the wife side foots the marriage expenses to the food and drinks. The groom and his family are just required of the eru iyawo(wife's list)which are just fruits, tubers of yam and few other things.

    I don't know about igbos and hausas

  5. I don't think 40% is too much to ask if you had agreed to spend 8m on your wedding ceremony 😁

  8. Hahahahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣


    Slay queen isonu! You want a lavish wedding without contributing financially, then later demand equality in marriage? Make it make sense, anuty😒. Good luck with that!


    Perhaps it's essential to discuss and agree on financial responsibilities before making long term commitments. Stories like this are so annoying.

    1. If she had given 40% would she have had equality in the marriage still? Just asking.

      The problem with some men and women is that the men want to split bills with their wives but still want to claim head of house while the women want the man to do everything while demanding equality. All of them will be alright at last.

    2. Anon 13:30, that is a very potent assessment of the situation. Truthfully, you cannot expect head of house status if you need to do 50/50 and you cannot want full financial equality if someone else is making 100% contribution whilst you make none. Couples never want to have these discussions before marriage though and figure out their roles and expectations before they get hitched.

    3. Anon 18:56. I am happy you see my point. They purposely do not want to have these serious discussions because they want to have their cake and eat it, too.

  9. 8m kilode? Let the lady park well jare. The guy was even fair enough asking for 40percent. Oh! She didnt want to pay anything? Wedding is 50:50 nobody should think he/she is doing the other partner any favour when it comes to marriage. It should be a mutual not parasitic relationship.

  14. That's how my ex that year was drafting an outrageous budget for our supposed wedding. Her reasoning was her mom is a nollywood actress so I have to pay hotel for Ramsey Nouah, Ini Edo and co dem who would be guests at our wedding. . And she was serious. Serious but very broke.
    Not a dime was coming from her nor her mom

    Na dat day I start to plan porting.

    1. 8 million naira is almost 4,000 pounds and it is a lot of money for people living abroad, let alone Nigeria.

  15. Is the 8m for renting the reception venue,decoration,food and drinks or for photo/video coverage? I haven’t added MC,Dj,sourvenir,bride and grooms outfits,hotel etc?
    For those saying 8m is a lot for a wedding,that 8m in todays Nigeria won’t go anywhere.

    1. There are men looking for the women role in marriage.
      Funny that women who struggle for equality the most run very far from such men.
      Equality in marriage as campaigned for by women is a scam.

      Delete
    2. The issue is those men look for women's role, while still aggressively holding on to the head of the home title.
      If they meet those women who demand equality they are only happy as long as the equality only focuses on the financial aspect of the marriage. The moment it goes beyond that they suddenly remember they are the head of the homes. Those men need to pick a struggle.

  20. She will find someone who will be able to foot an entire wedding, even on a 100 million budget and he will find a woman who will give him 40%. They will both find their fit and be happy in the end. It is all in finding your fit in this life.
