Sally Suleiman, a Twitter personality, has caused quite a stir on social media after claiming that a wedding costing N10 million is a small wedding.
Sally stated in her tweet that N10 million is insufficient to finance a large wedding in Nigeria given the current reality, and that it is for people in the’middle class trenches.’
According to her, she planned a family member’s wedding with a N10 million budget in 2014, and it didn’t do much, to say the least.
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.”
To back up her point, Sally provided a breakdown of how she would spend #10 million on a wedding following the reactions to her tweet.
In a subsequent tweet, she stated,
“10 million naira wedding/trad breakdown
Hall: 700k Deco: 700k Food: 2500 per plate x 400 (if 300 guest) = 1m Drinks: 1m Media: 500k Brides outfit(2): 300k Shoe: 30k Hair and makeup: 150k Man’s outfit: 200k Ring: 200k MC and DJ: 300k Ushering: 100k Hotel: 100k (2 nights)”
