A Nigerian man is currently in serious debt after borrowing N800, 000 to throw a "lavish wedding."

 

Twitter user @IronmoleWeil who shared the story said the man mentioned that he was forced to throw a lavish wedding because his mother-in-law told him that when she gave birth to his wife, she was told that everything that concerns her must be loud and filled with fun fare.

He said he was hoping the people he invited would gift him very well but to his surprise most of the gifts where gas cylinders, plates, spoons, turning stick etc. in his words

‘Baba I think say people go give me money but Na gas cylinder, plate and all those things Dem give me’

He rented a shop for his wife before wedding 1/6 months, she sells provisions. Now the shop is empty and no money to restock because they’ve used most of The money to repay one debt or the other and also feed. Now they have 8months running in an empty shop he’s trying To sublet.
