A Nigerian man has gone viral after revealing how he and his wife spent less than ₦450,000 on their entire wedding, despite the soaring cost of living.
Identified as @Drifead on X (formerly Twitter), he explained that their decision was rooted in understanding their financial limits and focusing on what truly mattered. He also praised his wife for supporting the choice of a simple but meaningful celebration.
Sharing a detailed breakdown, he wrote:
“God will keep blessing my wife for me. The total money my wife and I spent on our wedding didn’t even reach ₦450,000.
₦20,000 for pictures, about ₦100,000 for our outfits, ₦40,000 for one night in a hotel.
The next day, I moved in with my wife in her self-contained apartment. As a married man, I didn’t even have a bed of my own.
It was our wedding, not everyone’s wedding, so there was no need to wear ourselves out. It was about knowing our limits and understanding what we could and couldn’t afford.”
The post has since gone viral, sparking a mix of reactions from Nigerians online—some praising their simplicity and wisdom, while others questioned the modest spending.
