Love, Dating & Marriage Nigerian Style | A Family Meeting Before My Traditional Wedding | S.1 Ep.6

Описание: What happens when you put your mum, aunty, and uncle in one room and ask them about love, dating, weddings, and marriage?

Plenty of laughter.
A few “hmm…” moments.
And some beautifully honest truths about how things used to be - and how different they are now.

This episode of Family Meeting was recorded just a few days before my traditional wedding, which made the conversation feel even more real, reflective, and personal. As we sat together, we bridged generations to talk about romance the Nigerian way - from handwritten love letters and phone calls, to today’s dating confusion, “don’t date but find a husband” logic, and the unspoken rules that shaped marriage expectations.

We unpack everything from dating myths and red flags that were ignored, to wedding politics, family drama, and what marriage actually represented back then - duty, love, stability, or status.

💭 In this episode, we explore:

What romance looked like before WhatsApp and Instagram

Whether dating was ever meant to be “for fun”

The pressure women faced to marry the “right” kind of person

Why Nigerian weddings are such a big deal (and why people get offended)

The funniest and pettiest wedding drama you’ll ever hear

How gender roles shaped marriage and how partnership is evolving

What men secretly fear in relationships

The hardest seasons of marriage and what helped people push through

What parts of old-school marriage wisdom still matter, and what should stay in the past

This episode is funny, nostalgic, honest, and unexpectedly tender - recorded at a moment when love, family, and tradition felt especially close.
