Solomon Buchi, Nigerian social media influencer and media relationship tutor has given advice to Nigerian men who are considering marriage in this economy.
He advised those considering marriage not to go extravagant, but rather opt to fulfill the traditional rites and then proceed to do court marriage to seal the union legally.
He recommended keeping the wedding modest, with a guest list of approximately 20 people and advised against serving alcoholic beverages due to their high cost.
Taking to his X account he wrote,
“Go and pay your woman’s bride price, go to court with your spouse and sign papers, do a weekday wedding with just 20 people, no alcoholic drinks because they are expensive. If anyone is angry, tell them how expensive things are in Nigeria. You would be a fool to do a big wedding in Nigeria right now as a hustler. Even bolognese are feeling the heat in Nigeria. Who are you? Who do you think you are? If you are a woman and you want a big wedding right now in Nigeria, go and marry Jesus.”
