If you have money do it, if you don't, its not by force. All man seeks for is happiness, if you can guarantee it by doing so, so be it. Truth be told, its not compulsory, but for the kind of society we live, its necessary. 1 Like |

I've always wondered why person go do weddings two times. Lets all stick with our tradition. |

You are preaching to deaf people especially some Nigerian women? Some would rather do away with traditional wedding then not wear that white gown they dream of every day of their lives. 2 Likes |

Waste of time and money for sure. To those who say that they did it to satiate the childish demands of the woman - I pity you, that is an unfortunate way to begin an adult commitment. 2 Likes |

This is an over-flogged issue. The truth is, people won't listen. Logically, you are right on all grounds, but on the other hand, we are Africans/Nigerians, and we love parties! How else do you expect us to show off our wealth? How do we tell, even those who don't care, that we've "arrived"? People throw parties for the flimsiest reasons - Tokunbo comes from UK, Party!; Chidinma gives birth - Dedication, Naming, Chike goes to Church... Sometimes I wonder the craze, cos I've never attended a traditional wedding where they brought out horns, pigeon or cowries; it has always been a bible. We just love the stress, show-off and plenty aso-ebi. Ideally, just one wedding is enough! But for legality and certificate, one needs the Registry. In fact, registry certificate is more tenable legally than church cert, so why the fuss?? One question for the white wedding comrades... Will your family take your marriage serious if you do a white wedding without a Traditional wedding? 3 Likes |

joywendy: This is different. Yes, we imitate other western cultures. It is understandable for practices we have no alternatives and we cannot do without in this modern age however what is the essence of keeping those western cultures we can do without especially when we have got better alternatives. Two different cultural weddings for the same purpose, I say it is insanity and inferiority complex 9 Likes |

Rapmoney: One bottle of lacasara for u with a gala. imagine. the church can not wed someone unless the person has done the traditional wedding. why not merge the both together. carry ur pastor and church members to the traditional wedding and wear a white traditional dress. after everything, come to church on sunday and give thanks. how about WEDDING RECEPTIONS, that thing need to be scraped. i don't attend any. 1 Like |

White weddings are really useless and enslaving, if traditional wedding had taken place. The couple are already married when the two families accept and give their blessing. What will a priest who is without experience be telling would be husband and wife? |

The real.truth is that majority of Africans have at least an atom of inferiority complex, however that of the Nigerian ladies is to the extreme. Wedding is wedding, white wedding is just a white tradition of visiting the church for marriage binding, you don'thave to do this Iif you have wedded in the Nigerian way but since it is the dream of every lady to wear that beautiful wedding gown, they won't give up on this white wedding, oh yes, it is because of the sparklings and materiality that comes with this wedding that most ladies love it, not because they love God so much to want to visit a church for wedding.. 2 Likes |

All i can see here is slaves commenting.... Oh Lord why am I not white i spit on the black race... It is only a black man that would be president 30 years ago and tell us the youth are the leaders of tomorrow and will still want to be the president 30 years after.... it's only a black man that would say if he doesn't fix electricity problem, we shouldn't vote for him again and still come begging for votes when electricity is worse.... and yet you blame the whites for calling us monkeys..... smh 2 Likes |

Who told u education is not part of our culture from the beginning? Go and read about the early Egyptians. Africans were the first to go to school.. The first doctors, engineers, astronauts were Africans. The first University in the world was in Africa |

Most ladies, just like the effizy that goes with white wedding. But a reasonable lady knows white wedding is just to show off because the main thing is the traditional marriage. |

Femsyn:To God who made me I reason with your post and that of the op, not as if I won't do it for my wife so peace might reign but for the love of God why the waste, when a pastor can just attend this traditional arrangement (with reception after the ceremony) and on sunday we receive the congregational prayers (at least we get to choose which certificate we want). 1 Like |

Thanks for reminding us, remember as it is said in the scripture that Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding in cannan by turning water into wine. Wedding has been in existence since the old testament what you should be telling us is that the holy Bible recognised dowry, once you pay a bride price the woman has automatically become your wife, wedding is just to bless you marriage and for the pple of God to bear witness to your union. |
