ReplyDeleteWho among the couple is a citizen of Saudi Arabia. That the wedding have to take place in Dubai?
Estimated cost of the Wedding is about 50M naira. That is capital flight from the country. Imagine how that amount would have affected the Naija economy. We need to really value what is our own if we want other pple to respect us.
Congrats all the same.
May God save Nigeria.
I wholeheartedly support the above comment. It is very timely and accurate. What is in Dubai that is not in Nigeria? Judging for the number of guests at the ceremony, how many were Nigerians? We must learn to encourage and patronize what belongs to us. I am optimistic the wedding would have been more successful in Nigeria than Dubai. The wedding is an economic waste to the Nigerian people. Our politicians should know how best to practice politics. Sponsoring Nigerians to attend the wedding by a state governor is senseless and unreasonable. In passing, I wish the couple a successful and God-fearing marriage life.
