Wedding a means of people wasting their funds to satisfy others people attention.


When I'm ready, I arrange meeting with both families to seek their blessings and approval, send her village people 1 quarter of what is needed and promise to get back to them and after that babies next... No public nonsense.


And for the village people waiting for me to get back to them, unto them shall my word be like that of a HR to a Nigerian job seeker.

I know a person that spent over 4m, from his pocket alone, not including the wife's family and his immediate family's money. Musicians come, people carry take away, expensive souvenirs and stuff.

The thing no last 3 years

Funny thing is will be do it again?
If the money dey yes!!! A wedding is a thing to be celebrated. Enjoy the day. If he perish he perish.

Just don't borrow oooo. Na there wahala dey

You don't need to impress other family cause of wedding program.... let the effective of your money reflect on your wife body and open a business for her to survive, especially in this sh** country.

You can do a modest wedding with ₦300k, and have some amount left.


Use your religious premises as venue.
Hire a reasonable amount of canopy for the after fun.



Cook modestly. Hire your sisters to be the committee for it.

Hire a good but cost-effective wedding gown.

If you have a suit, wear it. You can only buy a new shirt.

On that day,


Get married and go home with your beautiful wife.

Don't let anyone talk you into operation feeding the nation and pleasing onlookers. Always do things according to your balance.


There's life after weddings make you no go borrow rice in the morning.

He said Modest not "As far I Marry"


Abi na 1 basket of rice He wan cook?

Hi My People,

How are y'all doing? I believe everyone's doing just fine.

Please I wanna know, considering the rising cost of things in Nigeria, how much do I need to have a Modest Wedding?

I mean, i don't even have a million naira o.

I need your honest views.

Kindly help me take this to the promised land.

Oga wedding is not by force. Do traditional rights, carry your woman enter room. Use the remaining morning for upkeep.

1.Hire a good wedding gown@ not more than ₦20k
2. Sew a quality shirt & suit at Aba @ ₦15k or less.
3. Plastic souvenirs only, not more that 200 pieces
4. Use your church hall to host the reception.
5. Don't hire any bus to bring in-laws or villagers to the venue.
6. Use only the people who can pay for their cloths as best man and bridal train.
7. Do not hire hotel for any guest. Rather find a nearby hotel to lodge for the wedding night while your guests who couldn't travel back sleep in your house. Anybody that feels too comfortable will extend his stay.
8. One and half bags of rice only; One bag only should be cooked for the guests while half bag for people that will sleep over.
9. Do not hire any vehicle for the wedding. Liaise with friends and church members for support.
10. Do not hire any live band. Use your church band/choir.
11. The same cake quality that people pay ₦200k to get, you can get same at ₦20k; all na packaging.
12. Organize a committee of friends who shall not just help in organizing the day but should also be able to contribute reasonable amount in support.
13. Do not rely on your invitation cards. Make use of your social media.

With the things I have listed above, you already have idea of other areas you will cut off.

What tribe are you, and where are you marrying from?

What is your average income and that of your spouse?

Where do you intend to settle down

Let's start from there.
