A man shared the story of his employer whose customary wedding collapsed just days after it took place, despite the large sum spent.
He noted that the incident occurred roughly two years prior, shocking everyone close to the couple.
He added that the groom had made extensive preparations, arranging things at both his own family’s home and the bride’s family’s house.
Expensive customary ceremony
The employer disclosed that he spent nearly ten million naira to host the celebration.
He mentioned that two cattle were slaughtered for the festivities, one at his residence and the other at the bride’s family home.
“My boss carried out his traditional marriage and expended almost 9.8 million naira because he slaughtered two cows for the occasion — one at his family’s compound and the other at his in‑laws’ place.”
Surprising development after the festivities
The narrator further explained that the union ran into trouble almost right after the ceremony.
He said the bride told her husband she no longer wished to continue the marriage just a few days after the traditional wedding.
“Three days after the event, the woman declared she was no longer interested in the marriage and walked away.”
The story has ignited online discussion, with many netizens debating the emotional and financial fallout of weddings that end shortly after they happen.
Others emphasized the need for mutual understanding and commitment before making major marital decisions.
