The wedding party.

I witnessed a wedding party that had a budget of 1.8 million Naira, but the groom was practically underemployed or literally unemployed. Quick analysis, the groom needed help with job before the wedding and approached several people for help but only got sympathy and promissory gestures. When he went round with the wedding IV, they promised to handle the financial and logistics responsibilities. At the end of the event, assessment estimate showed that a total of 1.8 million Naira had been spent by family and friends to ensure the jobless couples wedding was a success.

If only the groom had the 1.8 million Naira in support towards his ideas. He had nursed starting a networking and technical lab for years but couldn't raise the capital. "People are wicked", he concluded after the assessment. Yes, he saw it as wickedness for people to spend so much at his event when he needed help to make ends meet with a source of livelihood.

Is it really not wickedness when people have the capacity to help but choose to lavish it on frivolities. Is it not wickedness when people could help immediately but withold it till later dates when things have deteriorated further. Is it not wickedness when people hold on to your entitlement, at the expense of your well-being, for their selfish gains. Is it not wickedness to spend millions on wedding events of jobless couples? No wonder they sing "dance away your sorrows" at most weddings.
