My fiancee and I both earn below 700k, so we decided to have a very intimate and small wedding.
Four months before the wedding, my dad called me and gave me 10Million naira.
He said he has been saving the money for a very long time and he promised to give me before my wedding.
I told my fiancee about the money and my plans to use the money to start a business after the wedding.
Few days after our discussion, her family invited me for dinner and told me, they wanted to change the venue of the wedding and some few details, because her uncles and cousins were coming from abroad.
I asked if they were willing to support with any amount, and they said no.
I told them I couldn't afford it because my parents were already sponsoring most of the wedding cost.
Her mum looked at me and said "My daughter is already marrying down, at least don't disgrace us in front of our family members"
I looked at my fiancee and she said nothing.
I stood up and told her parents to please marry her off to someone better because I'm no longer intrested in the wedding.
They've called me several times to talk things through but I already told my parents that I was no longer intrested and we've cancelled on our part.

I do not always get what I wanted at once.
I wrote O’level four times before I eventually had the coveted C6 in Physics
I wrote JAMB four times before I eventually made it & gained entry into the University, when I eventually got admitted into FUTA in 2012, some of my high school mates were already in their finals.
I started applying for Scholarships in 2017 & only got lucky four years after in 2021; I submitted about 24 applications to different countries & continents before Erasmus Mundus eventually fell on my knees.
I’ve submitted over 4,000 job applications in this Europe, got only about 20 interview invites & only 4 offer letters.
Most of you know me as a Supply chain crooner on this app, but little people knew that’s a career I started after age “30”
Resilience is something I’ll always preach, I’ve lived through it myself.

Teejay is my Childhood friend of over 30 years, his wife is amongst the teachers abducted in Oriire on Friday by the terrorists.
This is beyond an advocacy for us as a family, this hit our home more than anyone can imagine.
Tonight will be the 5th day in that jungle, President @officialABAT & Gov @seyimakinde please do everything within your combined capacity to free our wives, mothers, fathers, children, brother, sisters abducted by the terrorists.
Sleep has evaded us, our hearts has been in our mouths and our lives has never remained same.
#RescueOriire

In fact checking, a source assertion whether a post, video, audio or statement is a CLAIM.
At @NVAFactchecks, we fact-check CLAIMS to debunk unverified information that can mislead people

Watch this video:Not every claim you see online on the new tax law is true.
Nigeria's VAT rate is still 7.5%, not 17%
Before you forward that message, verify the facts!

The U.S. invasion of Venezuela is many things at a glance. The one thing it is definitely not about, is saving Venezuelans from a corrupt, evil dictator.

Claims circulating online allege Ivorians were arrested in Togo over a coup plot. Our findings show the incident happened in Benin, not Togo.

I commented on thread in 2023, nothing controversial. Why has it suddenly been unearthed and gotten 11 likes today?

This is distasteful and to make VAWG, about immigrants says a lot more about your dishonesty in engaging with such a sensitive issue.
It’s not 11-year-old boys who are committing violence against women and girls.
We need to get people who have come from cultures that don’t respect women out of our country! Not all cultures are equally valid.
Labour’s plan to lecture schoolboys to respect women and girls is a complete distraction. This is what a government looks like when they’re completely out of ideas.
Deport all foreign criminals. Put more police on our streets. Conservatives have a funded plan to recruit 10,000 extra officers.
Pretending a few extra lessons in school will fix this is complete nonsense. Labour need to stop watching Adolesence and get real.
But they can’t, because they’re too scared, weak and divided. They have no serious plan to tackle this problem.
Only the @Conservatives do and that’s why we’ll build a stronger Britain.

Shekau demanded regular video appearances and, in the process, barked orders to members of his media unit. His men would rush to contact what he called “kafiri mai fa’ida” (useful infidel) — a reporter, in a position to ventilate his rage, often at cross with the government.
