"Contributions are ongoing for an ex-colleague wedding. Somebody in the UK sent N3,000.00. Three Thousand Naira! The WhatsApp group Admin had to ask if it was a mistake. The guy replied with "it is the spirit that matters". It took a lot of restraint not to cuss out the guy."

"If you have to contribute for someone’s wedding without taking a widow’s mite then the couple need to go to the registry and say ‘I do’ and go home. It’s obvious they can’t afford their own wedding."
