A Nigerian man living in the United Kingdom has found himself at the center of a viral online storm after allegedly receiving an overwhelming wedding bill from his fiancée’s family, totaling over ₦21 million.
The man, who reportedly relocated to the UK less than two years ago, was handed a list of expenses that included a ₦5 million charge for an event hall, along with additional costs covering his bride-to-be’s wedding gown, outfits for her parents, and other items—all expected to be covered entirely by him.
The incident came to light after a social media user posted the expense list online, sparking intense debate. Many questioned the fairness of placing such a huge financial burden on someone who was still settling abroad, especially when neither party comes from a wealthy background.
The list, which appeared more like a corporate event budget than a traditional marriage arrangement, has triggered widespread criticism, with people citing it as an example of unrealistic expectations and exploitation in modern marriage practices.
As the conversation spreads across social platforms, the issue has raised deeper questions about societal pressure, family expectations, and the financial strains facing young couples—especially those in the diaspora.
