Dear OP, I assume that what you meant is high cost of wedding Ceremonies in Nigeria? The cost of a wedding ceremony in my opinion is relative to the type of couple and the kind of impression that they want to leave in the minds of the people they intend to host or impress. A forward looking couple with knowledge of the financial challenges that usually confront couples after the honeymoon stage could go for a court wedding and disregard the church or traditional wedding since both ceremonies are basically a duplication of the first wedding which is valid in the sight of the law. Also note that, na as goat take stand for market dem go take price am. 3 Likes |

There are cheaper ways to have a wedding nowadays. Court only Court + Traditional only Court + white only White + traditional same day. Use church venue for reception. Serve basic food and drinks. See, your guest really don't care about all of these funfares. They are just so so happy for the two of you. And they wanna go home and rest. 5 Likes |

If you want to enjoy marriage traditions for men go and pick a Hausa girl. Her family will furnish all your rooms and kitchen and give you food for 1 year. If they are well to do you might get a car/house. Your job? Get her boxes of clothing (lefe) and rent an empty house 1 Like |

Well said @ OP. Although high wedding costs are not unique to Nigeria. The average wedding cost in the US for 2016 was about $35,000, which was about 59% of the median annual household income of approximately $59,000. Ridiculously expensive. A truly heavy price to pay for the superficial attention the couples receive on the wedding day. For someone who believes in getting good value for their money, anything above 20% of the net annual income of the couple is wasteful. 2 Likes 1 Share |

BACK IN THE DAYS OF OUR FORE FATHERS, THE BRIDE PRICE PAID IS AN INDICATION AND APPRECIATION FROM THE GROOM'S FAMILY TO TAKE A PURE AND UNTOUCHED WOMAN THAT WAS RAISED IN HONOUR AND TAUGHT TO BE A WIFE AND MOTHER. THE GROOMS FAMILY PAY A HIGH PRICE INCLUDING LAND SOMETIMES TO THE WIFE'S FAMILY FOR RAISING HER AS A VIRGIN, SO THAT THEY WILL HAVE A PURE VESSEL TO CONTINUE THEIR FAMILY LINEAGE. BUT NOWADAYS WHERE THE PUZZY HAS BEEN RAN THROUGH BY AT 5 BOYFRIENDS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL;, 5 BOYFRIENDS ON UNI CAMPUS + 2 LECTURERS THAT COLLECTED TO PASS HIS CLASS + 5 MARRIED SUGARDADDIES + 5 BOYFRIENDS WHEN SHE LEAVES UNI INCLUDING THE MANAGER THAT COLLECTED HIS OWN BEFORE HE GAVE HER THE JOB. THAT IS NOT INCLUDING 1 OR 2 ABORTIONS/MISCARRIAGE AND THEN THEY WILL BE DEMANDING HIGH AMOUNT FOR BRIDE PRICE, AND THE RING MUST COST AT LEAST SO SO AMOUNT, AND THE WEDDING MUST BE BIG. PLEASE LADIES SHIFT AND PARK WELL ABEG. MARRY IF YOU WAN MARRY, BUT THE HIGH DEMANDS ORIGINALLY WAS FOR A PURE VESSEL TO CONTINUE THE GROOMS FAMILY LINEAGE. TIMES HAVE CHANGED 6 Likes 1 Share |

An expensive marriage won't make a man value a woman more. But people should have the type of marriage they can afford.Wrong.. I handled a divorce where the man was always beating his wife up. He said he was asked to complete the girl's father's compound that was at roofing level an also paid a million plus as bride price. That's why he gets easily upset and resorts to hitting her when she tries to oppose him or even voice out a different opinion. He kept on emphasizing on how he spent his business money to marry her and she is now his property to do with as he wishes! |

desreek9: It is not about affordability, read between lines before you make your conclusion. if a young man does not have to go through dating, introduction, engagement, court registry, church wedding, reception. It make marriage easier, by removing society raised barrier. And a lot of people will be happily married at a younger age, it will guide against promiscuity.

Why is the burden of a wedding solely that of a man to bear alone? You can’t complain that there are no equal rights but shy alway when it matters the most. I have mentioned this before and I will say it again. Some women’s sole focus is the wedding all those hours looking at Bellanaija formulating themes and plans and ideas without actually thinking how all that will be funded. What’s the point of starting married life in heavy debt? The men are to blame too, why are you trying to make out like you have no money worries when you do? If you give her the impression that your pockets are bottomless pits of money then you will be brought to your knees before you are even married. A wedding is not for likes on social media. Being realistic seems to be an increasingly rare thing these days. 7 Likes |

#my2pence I see a lot of unmarried youths who ought to realise the truth. You don't need to accumulate a fortune to marry. Infact, the less you've the more realistic considering the present-day craze for materialistic possessions. Marriage ought to be a lifelong commitment. My advise to young men is to marry while they're still young. Be in love, settle down, use your youthful energy while you can to hustle and provide for your family. When you grow into mid/old age, your kids are out trying to start your own family which decreases the burden on you. Do your research and see how many 60 year Olds and 70 year Olds are still training their kids through school. It's alarming. For we men, get a woman who appreciates you for who you're, who's willing to do the 'dirty work' with you in order to have a settled family. Ladies, give the young men a chance. Not everyone means bad for you. Some of these men only need someone to believe in them, their dreams, their ambitions, their desires to love and be loved in return. That doesn't necessarily have to be measured by money at hand. We have so monetised our lives that everything is based on what the other person has at hand. Marriage doesn't have to be elaborate. The most important thing is what happens after the ceremony. Left to me, a court wedding coupled with a traditional marriage between me and my Beau is sufficient. The land recognizes it, God recognizes it. I don't need any religious wedding. Our parents give their blessings and life goes on. Forget the facade of the ceremony. Life after marriage is what really counts. Just a piece of my mind. 7 Likes 1 Share |
