There’s nothing quite like the vibrant, joyous chaos of a Nigerian wedding. From the pulsating beats of Afrobeat music to the dazzling array of colorful outfits, every moment is a feast for the senses. And let’s not forget the people – oh, the people.
Nigerian weddings bring together a delightful mix of characters, each adding their own flavor to the celebration.
In this article, we’ll take a fun look at the different types of people you’re guaranteed to meet at a Nigerian wedding.
(1) The Glutton:
In this economy where one tuber of yam is like 70,000 naira, you will attend a wedding and not stuff your stomach with two weeks worth of food?
(2)Baddies:
Their dress would be long enough to sweep the floor, but the material would be just too skimpy to conceal certain parts of their body.
Well, we all know what’s going on here.
They don’t like to sit in one place – after all, that market won’t sell itself.
They keep walking up and down, ensuring they catch someone’s eye. And sure enough, it doesn’t take long before that man starts collecting their phone number.
(3) Amstel Malt:
You have no idea how they got to the venue – maybe they’ve been hiding in the toilet five days prior to the wedding? It’s a mystery how someone can sneak in without an invitation card or tag and still manage to dress so oddly.
(4) Asoebi Girlies:
Asoebi tax is a real thing. The VVVVVIP of every wedding.
These people get the best of seats, their food gets served on time, and even receive the best souvenirs.
In fact, if you try to join them during the wedding reception, na wahala.
The only thing they don’t get to do is spend honeymoon with the couple.
(5)The Networkers:
Everywhere is an opportunity to meet the next client, and a wedding is no exception.
The plan is to meet with people and drop their business cards advertising their business, fashion line, photography hustle, jobs etc.
(6)Single and Aggressively searching:
Everybody seems to be searching for something, if it’s not the client, it’s the next person that will serve them breakfast.
Single life and loneliness have almost finished these ones, and their mission at weddings is to mingle and try to find a partner.
(7)Influencer:
Their goal is to serve live updates from the wedding venue by sharing pictures or videos on their social media.
Nigerian weddings are filled with colorful characters and unforgettable moments, and each guest adds their own unique flavor to the celebration. Who did we miss? Comment below with your favorite wedding personalities and stories.
