i was reading linda ikeji's blog and some one made a comment and i just had to post because she has simply spilled my mind, hope you guys feel the same way!

Linda Darling then what would you say to the amount of money people charge for weddings and event venues. Nigeria to me is a joke sometimes seriously. I had a conversation with a girl about the fact that I would love to get married in Nigeria and she was like 'maybe your parents are boxed up' I was like no honey, I was actually thinking because it would be cheaper. She laughed so much and asked for Location I said Lagos of course, she was like Maybe am having a low budget wedding. Lol. I said no I would be spending close to HUGE 2 million Naira, she said but my wedding is on the mainland, I was like it does not matter, but the venue has to be good, decent location, and blah blah blah. She then continued laughing and I got worried like does this girl not know about me and she probably didnt think I have alot of money as 2 Million (Me wey I be big girl, shey becus I humble). She went up and got Her Laptop, got about 4 numbers for my decent wedding location in Naija. The first place I called, they were really nice, asked what I want and told them with a Fake Naija accent so they wont think I be mugu, the girl asked if I wanted some charis chairs (or watever) it sounded nice so I said yes, she then quoted the price at 2 million. lol. For venue alone oh, I asked her if it included for my engagement,she said if they were to give me for engagement they could do a deal, but it was still over my whole buget for the whole wedding. My friend said to call another place which this time was on the mainland, I got a quote for over 1.5 million. I shall called all the four numbers and the prices were just ridiculous. My 2 million budget seems only for venues. Then I started researching Niaja more and let me mention I have not been home for 11yrs, thou going this easter. But the house prices, everything is Naija is to damn expensive for my hard working ass. I mean is it not Naija with no electricity, bad roads, no basic, The prices just dont make sense. But I heard it is the high and rich men children that came abroad and are now back home that have changed the game. Wedding now is a matter of who can afford this venue, what type of this and that. Na levels. My wedding will defo be here in London, and Linda darling u will be invited so you can cover it and display here on Linda Ikeji, me I no get the level for Dele and uncle Bisi. God bless Nigeria.
