Cleric Dolapo Lawal has issued a thoughtful reminder to Nigerians, urging them to reconsider their financial priorities when it comes to lavish weddings. He emphasized the importance of building financial stability and acquiring essential assets before investing in extravagant ceremonies.
In a recent sermon, Pastor Lawal questioned the wisdom of spending between ₦10 million and ₦20 million on weddings, particularly for those who have yet to secure fundamental investments such as a car. He pointed out that owning a vehicle in Nigeria could be a practical asset, offering opportunities for income through ride-hailing services like Uber, especially during tough financial times.
Addressing his congregation, the pastor underscored the value of practical investments over opulent wedding celebrations, encouraging individuals to prioritize financial security to ensure a more stable and prosperous future.
According to him, owning a car in Nigeria can serve as a business opportunity because it can be used for ride-hailing services like Uber during difficult financial periods.
While speaking to his congregation, he stressed that people should prioritize practical investments and financial security over extravagant wedding celebrations.
His words in part …
“You shouldn’t be spending N20 Million on a wedding if you don’t have a car, because right now in Nigeria, a car is a business opportunity. The day you’re hungry, you can use it for Uber. You have no business spending 15 million or 10 million on any wedding”
