He said:
“You don’t need millions to get married! Mary, my Secretary at MFM Women Basketball Club, got married in Ibadan yesterday without hiring an event center, no reception, no drinks served, no musician on the band stand, no compulsory asho-ebi. May God bless this union.”
Many people online said there was no point in spending too much money on holding a wedding.

Reactions as couple get married in a low-key event

“Starting strong! Building a lifelong union on a rock foundation. No long lasting debt repayment to think about. No stress on first night. Anything better.”

“You’re right chief, I was at a friends wedding yesterday in the same Ibadan. The bride is my friend and both families are financially modest. While the husband was more concerned about the marriage itself, my friend was planning a big wedding which they both couldn’t afford. She wiped out her life savings, her hubby’s and I bet they borrowed more. So many fights, days of no communication & peace meetings in between the Introduction and yesterday’s wedding. I hope by some miracle the marriage last and is peaceful.”

“Leave this yarning. Traditional marriage is the koko, not all this yarning, and it takes money and plenty of courage to do it. Leave church talk and talk about the bride price list.”
@dakol2 said:
“One doesn’t need millions for marriage but needs millions to run a happy family, except the married people want to tell lies.”

“Oga G you did not tell us we Ibadan fans that you are coming to Ibadan?”

“I hope there was a vehicle to take the bride and groom to their home Sha.”
