    Not sure if any of you have actually had a wedding in Nigeria but if you have the experience, what is the cost of an Average Nigerian Church and trad wedding (Both done in one day)? My big bro is wedding in 4 months and I kinda want to prevent him from spending too much money just for a day event.

how much has he got at hand for the ocassion ?
Well it's not about how much he got at hand cos he aint spending all of it. I am pushing for a maximum of 600K in naira.

  Do you have 600K in your account as of right now? The answer will be NO, not even close. So hush and stop being ridiculous.

Initially, you insinuated that a 600K naira wedding will be laughed @, Now you seem to agree with him that it is very well to do.

Haha. So how much does he have left in his bank account now. Guy take your time. Hard earned money are not easily spent like that bro. If i have 10 mil in my account, I will make sure I spend less than 1/10th of it for a very descent wedding. Dunno about you.
