Yes, many of us were more than happy and excited following the lavish and highly celebrated traditional wedding ceremony of Davido and Chioma which happened on June 25, 2024. It was arguably one of the biggest events ever, in this part of the world.
While the big occasion must have come and gone, the memories still lingers. Beside that, I have come across a lot of conversations, arguments and debate over the said wedding. In all, I could see the urge, pressure and desperation in most people, to either replicate same, something similar or bigger.
Well, dreaming big is not a sin, but cutting your coat according to your size is one of life’s important reminder. While you are rushing to emulate Davido, there are lots of things you must understand before you plunge yourself into a journey of no return.
First of all, it is a known fact that most of us in this part of the world are easily confused and convinced by social media lifestyles. It is one of the major contributing factors as to why we have a lot of youths today, engaging into all sorts of vices just to meet up, be counted among and seen as Odogwu.
Know it that Davido’s family background can chest any sort of financial lifestyles he chose to live. The singer himself is extremely rich on his own, and can easily afford any kind of lifestyle he so desires.
Also, even if the singer lavishes all the money he has made by himself on his choice of lifestyle, know it that he won’t still go broke. Whether he chose to invest his earnings from music, endorsements, etc, or not, the young man won’t still go broke.
His lineage are solidify with wealth, such that he can turn to any angle within his lineage and still get whatever he wants. Does that sink into you well enough? That’s the level of what wealth domiciled in that Adeleke family.
Till date, many people here still borrow Millions just to fund their choice of lavish wedding ceremony. It might not necessarily be what they want, but because of the societal pressure and desperation to be seen as an Odogwu, then they do it.
But guess what? Many of the marriages has crashed while the couple, particularly the groom, is still repaying the loan they took for the lavish wedding. Remember that majority of these men were pressured into adopting such lavishing wedding, mostly by their women.
As a man, there’s need to have a strong resolve around your decision making. A lot of women of these days are good in dragging men into wasteful adventure. Unfortunately they won’t contribute to such lifestyle of wastefulness, and will always pile pressure on you to do their bidding.
Be wise, know what you want and what is right. Avoid jumping into unnecessary competition, pressure and desperation to be among. Know your size, which will help you in cutting your coat according to your size.
