Dont Break The Bank Throw A Nigerian Wedding For Under 49k only

Early this year some guy tweeted he won’t cough more than fifty thousand naira for his wedding and Nigerian Twitters went hard on him.
Say what?

So many Nigerian couples have been engaged for more than fifteen years and the excuse is always FUNDS for a wedding ceremony!

I decided to make a list based on this budget and realised a 50K wedding is possible. I mean a proper wedding with a bridal train, cake, small chops, drinks, wine and jollof rice.
