Pastor Dolapo Lawal has urged Nigerians to be more financially conscious when planning weddings, warning against excessive spending on ceremonies at the expense of long-term stability.

During a recent sermon, the pastor cautioned that it is unwise for individuals to spend as much as ₦10 million to ₦20 million on weddings while lacking basic assets such as a car or meaningful investments.

He explained that owning a vehicle in Nigeria could serve as a source of income, noting that it can be used for ride-hailing services like Uber during periods of financial difficulty.

Lawal emphasized that people should focus more on building practical assets and securing their financial future rather than prioritizing lavish 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”
