According to him, his friend's office would be deducting N50k from his salary monthly while the microfinance bank would also deduct the same amount.

He said the wedding guests only gifted the groom gas cylinders, plates, spoons, turning stick, among others.

In his words:

"He rented a shop for his wife before wedding 1/6 months, she sells provisions. Now the shop is empty and no money to restock because they’ve used most of the money to repay one debt or the other and also feed. Now they have 8months running in an empty shop he’s trying."

"He was pressured into elaborate wedding but he doesn't understand that wedding isn't the deal. After that day is. And the marriage that will last isn't linked to how much noise were made.. The weddings guests ń family that made him do this are nowhere to be found now."
