A Nigerian man who recently moved to the United Kingdom has sparked widespread debate on social media after reportedly being presented with a ₦21.57 million wedding expense list by his fiancée’s family in Nigeria.
included extravagant costs such as over ₦5 million for the event hall, along with demands that the groom-to-be pay for the bride’s gown, her parents’ outfits, and other lavish items—all without any financial input from the bride’s family.
