A Nigerian Woman's Perspective on Davido’s Lavish Wedding
A Nigerian woman has entered the conversation about the extravagant wedding of singer Davido, which is taking place in the United States. Her views have sparked discussions among fans and critics alike, offering a unique take on why the musician is spending such a large sum on his big day.
In a video shared on TikTok, the woman explained her reasoning for supporting Davido’s decision to spend millions on the event. She emphasized that as a superstar, Davido has the financial means to do so and that others should not question his choices. “People should not be concerned about how much he is spending since he can afford it,” she said.
The wedding, which is being held in Miami, Florida, has generated significant buzz both in the U.S. and back in Nigeria. The attention is understandable given the staggering amount of money reportedly spent—$3.7 million, or approximately N5.6 billion. Davido himself confirmed the figure, saying, “We’ve spent $3.7 million cash. So, you should know what we are doing. It’s going to be crazy.”
The woman who posted the video, known online as Forever Glow, expressed strong support for Davido’s decision. She argued that no one has the right to criticize him for spending so much on his wedding. “You are not Davido’s friend, you are not his family member, and you are stating your disappointment on how Davido is spending his money,” she said.
She further questioned the critics, asking if the money was theirs. “Is it your money? Oh! You want him to do that wedding at Ikorodu, or probably Surulere so you will be happy,” she added. According to her, Davido is simply exercising his right to spend his earnings on something that matters to him.
Why the Spending Isn’t a Waste
The woman made it clear that she does not see the expenditure as wasteful. Instead, she believes that Davido is investing in his wife, Chioma. “He is spending that money on his wife. His lovely wife, Chioma, because if you value someone, you don't mind and you don't care how much you spend on that person,” she said.
She also highlighted the emotional aspect of weddings, suggesting that they are often more about the bride than the groom. “Talking about wedding, the expenses done on wedding is actually to please the wife because often times, it is not about the husband or the groom. It is all about the wife because it is women who care about wedding, how much money is spent and what is done during the wedding. It creates a lasting memory in their head.”
Her argument is that the money spent on the wedding is not just about extravagance but about creating a meaningful experience for Chioma. She concluded by saying, “He is not lavishing it. He is spending it on his wife.”
Other Reactions and Updates
While many people are focused on the financial aspect of the wedding, other updates have also emerged. One notable development involves Stella Dimoko Korkus, who claimed that Chioma’s parents may not be able to attend the ceremony. According to her post, Chioma’s father was expected to walk her down the aisle, but this arrangement has changed.
This news has added another layer of discussion around the wedding, with some speculating about the reasons behind the change. However, the main focus remains on the lavish nature of the event and the opinions of those who support Davido’s decision to splurge.
As the wedding approaches, it seems that the debate over whether the spending is justified will continue. Whether viewed as a celebration of love or a display of wealth, Davido’s wedding has undeniably captured the attention of people across the globe.
