A Nigerian man has reportedly called off his wedding after three years of dating his fiancée due to a disagreement over wedding expenses. The man’s decision shocked many, as the couple had been together for a long time and were preparing for their big day.
The drama unfolded when the bride-to-be proposed a wedding budget of ₦8 million, which she expected the groom-to-be to cover. However, when he asked her to contribute 40% of the total cost, she refused and insisted that it was solely his responsibility to fund the entire wedding. This disagreement led to a breakup and the cancellation of the wedding.
This revelation was shared in a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), where the man’s friend narrated the incident. The friend explained that the groom-to-be had simply requested his fiancée to cover 40% of the ₦8 million wedding cost, but she was angered by the suggestion, claiming he wasn’t “man enough” to handle the full expenses. This led to the end of their relationship.
The post read:
“A friend of mine ended a 3-year relationship because his fiancée wanted them to spend ₦8 million on their wedding.”
“He asked her to contribute 40% of the cost, and she got angry, saying he isn’t man enough to handle the expenses. So, he ended things with her. I love it.😁”
As the post gained traction, it sparked heated debates among users on X, with many sharing their thoughts on the matter. Some commenters criticized the fiancée’s stance, while others supported the groom’s decision to stand his ground.

@odogwu_ogidi: “The best decision. Let her look for another man to foot the 8m wedding.”
@coco_BUTTERNFT: “I’M a gold digger but even that’s too much for any event. A small outdoor event with close friends and close relations not more than 20 people is my dream wedding. I wanna get married in a white lacy night gown and be done with it. Any man who wants it big will marry someone else.”
@Paulechidi: “He is not man enough, she and her family could not raise ordinary 40% of the money for THEIR marriage, such a SHAME.”
@Brykas_official: “I love it for him as well. You can’t have only 20k in your account as a woman and you’re dreaming of getting married and having an elaborate wedding as well. When you put in your hard-earned money, you’ll think twice before doing anything that’ll scatter that marriage.”
@chizoba_benson: “How you go get dream wedding as a woman and you no save for am. So bothered about a day’s event, she no even care whether hunger go catch her a week after the wedding. Good riddance. She will still come back and beg, that’s if pride go allow her see road.”
@LegitBoss07: “Exactly the mentality of any lady that wants a big marriage. They don’t have a dime to contribute but they wanna show off to their friends with the little funds you have. Na so I dumped the one I was gonna marry in 2021 because she wanted a lavish wedding without having a dime. She still de single.”
