“10 million naira wedding is not a big wedding” – Twitter user, Sally Sulieman says
Twitter personality, Sally Suleiman, has caused quite a stir on social media after she averred that a wedding that costs N10 million is a small wedding.
Sally, in her tweet, opined that N10 million is not enough to finance a big wedding in Nigeria considering the present reality and it’s for people in ‘middle-class trenches’.
According to her, she planned a family member’s wedding with a budget of N10 million in 2014 and it didn’t do much, talk less of now.
She tweeted,
“10million naira in today’s world is not a big wedding. I would describe it as the people who are in middle class trenches. I can break that 10million naira down for you as someone who planned a fam’s wedding with 10million in 2014 and it was nothing fantastic, not to talk of now.”
Following the reactions that trailed her tweet, Sally gave a breakdown of how she would spend #10 million for a wedding to back her point.
In a follow-up tweet, she wrote,
