He said the school fees of any man that nurses such was wasted and should be refunded back to his parents as N2m could comfortably set up a good business.
Dr Damina stated that many times, the thought of organising an extravagant wedding usually comes from the bride who wants to impress friends on social media with wedding pictures.
Damina stressed that the danger of a lavish wedding is a marriage full of debts.
His actual statement, according to Pulse Media, reads:
“You are a young man just starting life but you want to spend N2 million on a wedding, you don’t have sense. The school fees your father spent were wasted. You need to go back to the village to refund the fees. N2 million can set up a good business for you if you have sense.
"That is why people get married and for one year they are still paying debts. So, their marriage starts with bitterness and anger. Everybody is angry because when there is debt to pay and no money to eat, there will be tension in the house. That love will suddenly finish.
“...Who knows you on Facebook?. Facebook is for faceless people who you don’t even know, yet you want to impress them and make your young man broke.”
