Op, dismiss every advice everyone is giving you. It's a no no. People are now using committee of friends to raise wedding funds. When I got married married I was the one that transported my committee of friends to and fro. Paid a chef. And bought drinks. My committee of friends work was to ensure that the food and drinks went round. And everything went very well. And gave them money after everything. 6 Likes |

My brother. You're not alone in this. I had one few weeks ago. Some dude that I didn't even know his name messaged me to introduce himself as my secondary school mate (School that I left about 16 years ago). He mentioned that his wedding was coming up soon and he wanted me to be among his wedding committee. I asked him if he's sure he's not mistaken me for someone else? To my amazement, dude called my name. He obviously picked my contact from the alumina chat group. I also asked how can I help you when you don't even know which state I reside and you need me to be part of the people to organise your wedding? Dude said, the committee will tell how I can help. Boom, I found myself in a group. The first thing I saw was we are contributing XYZ for our brother's wedding. I was like, just like that! I had no prior relationship with dude and he obviously didn't know how I am surviving. He has never made an impact or whatsoever in my life, but he wanted my money. This should be banned with an immediate effect. 21 Likes 1 Share |

This is commonly among some guys who have this entitlement of always needing support from people in anything they're doing. But they don't ever do for anybody. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT WHATEVER SITUATION YOU MIGHT BE INTO. It has been their nature of always at the receiving side. They're always checking up on you once you are only doing well. but if anything is going wrong with you, they will distance themselves. 2 Likes

Some are saying among friends and family it's normal.... there is nothing normal. Its insane. If you are offered assistance without you asking Its fine but you asking for assistance from friends and family is completely crazy. If you like use list of contributors serve food na you sabi 7 Likes |

The worst was a colleague that knew when I got married, he didn't attend and didn't give me a penny ( I didn't ask either). Years later, I was added to his wedding fund raising group by someone and they said everyone must contribute 30k minimum. I didn't say a word till the end. If you can't fund your wedding, do court marriage and rest, it's not by force 13 Likes 3 Shares |

Somethings are best left unattended to. Leaving the group like you said will be odd, creating this topic is unnecessary when you can easily ignore or be passive in the group. .... Not everything we must seek an opinion about! |

CuriousCart: Well, obviously cause thats like the default marriage age for majority of young Nigerians. Those who do so after 30-40 & above are mostly laggards who are already rich enough not care about contributions, matured enough to know everybody has his/her own problems to deal with or BOTH 2 Likes 1 Share |
