This
is a typical low budget wedding ceremony abroad which took place
recently without undue financial stress on the groom unlike the local
setting in Nigeria where people incur huge debts to make a statement
during their marriage ceremony.
The Nigerian man, pastor and his bride-to-be
A Nigerian man from Akwa Ibom state has been hailed online after
getting married to his white fiancee in a low-budget wedding ceremony
abroad.
The man tied the knot to his partner in a simple wedding with
family and few friends present. This has been recommended for Nigerians
who go through the rigours of court wedding, traditional wedding in the
village as well as the church wedding before it all ends expensively at
the reception where people drink and eat to stupor at the expense of the
organisers.
The problem of bride-price has also been an issue in the South-east
and South-south part of Nigeria where the man might be compelled to
part with an amount running into millions as contained in a 'list'
presented by the wife's family.
In a period of economic recession and inflation, this could be an
idle wedding ceremony to be adopted in Nigeria as what makes the union
is not the ceremony but how the couple live after.
A concerned social media user who also alluded to the issue of economical approach to wedding ceremonies has this to say:
"Typical Uyo babe no go gree this kind o. She will probably
want to give her friends a lasting memory while the guy will run into
debts just to satisfy her and then they go home and starve. After all
the show, everyone will retire to their homes and leave both of you
alone forgetting all that happened there!!
God help us and flush out this demonic philosophy of
unnecessary expenditure. How beautiful and glamorous a wedding is
doesn't guarantee the success of the home. Guys and ladies plus parents
of children beware!"
