Nigerian Couple Use Dollar & Naira Notes As Necklace In Traditional Wedding Outfit

A Nigerian couple who had their traditional wedding recently is making an internet sensation as their weird traditional wedding photo has gone viral.

The Nigerian couple used Dollar notes and Naira notes to design necklace to match their traditional outfits and the photo has taken over the internet. 

While some say it is a ridiculous way of showing off wealth, others believe there is a belief  behind it, probably to symbolize their marriage would attract wealth.

Whichever way, we wish them a happy married life full of wealth and peace!

"You know Nigeria's population is now between 180 and 190 million and 60 per cent of this population is youth that is 30 years down ward," he said to VOA.

"You know in the north most youths are uneducated or school dropouts. If not because we had good harvests in the last two farming seasons, the situation would have deteriorated.

"These youths even if they travel out of the north for greener pasture they hardly make it economically, because what they earn as income cannot afford them to meet their basic needs or return home.

"All these explanations I made, they refused to highlight them in their report and you know the media in Nigeria in most cases only do what they like," Buhari said.

Nigerian Young Man Who Was Asked To Pay Before Service For His Meal In Canada, To Be Paid $10,000 By Restaurant

Posted: 03 May 2018 12:18 AM PDT

Nigerian Young Man Who Was Asked To Pay Before Service For His Meal In Canada, To Be Paid $10,000 By Restaurant 

The story of a Nigerian young man, a student in Canada and his friends who went to a restaurant to eat and celebrate his birthday and was asked to pay before service by the waiter has caused the restaurant a $10,000 Canadian dollar fine, as the restaurant is being accused of racial discrimination, by the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.


See full story as shared:
The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has ordered a Toronto restaurant to pay a black customer $10,000 Canadian dollars for racially discriminating against him and his friends.

Emile Wickham was celebrating his 28th birthday with three friends when the group decided to grab a bite at Hong Shing Chinese Restaurant on May 3, 2014.
The four were the only black patrons in the restaurant, Wickham said, and they were stunned when the waiter demanded they pay before they were served
When the group complained, they were told it was policy, according to their testimony.
"I still felt skeptical, so then I approached other tables," Wickham told CNN. No one else he spoke with had been asked to prepay, he said.
"There was frustration initially. And that frustration turned into a feeling of dejection and sadness," he said.

The restaurant's response
Nearly a year after the incident, Wickham, who is originally from Nigeria, could not stop thinking about what happened.
As the anniversary approached, he filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal.
The restaurant said it had seen an influx of dine-and-dash incidents, and that it asked customers who weren't "regulars" to prepay, according to the ruling.
But adjudicator Esi Codjoe said she found no evidence such a policy was real. Earlier this month, she ruled the restaurant had racially profiled the students.

It says it will appeal
In a statement shared with CNN, Hong Shing Chinese Restaurant expressed deep concern over the situation and highlighted that management has since changed.
"There are a number of sensitivities and considerations about this situation, and for that reason, the tribunal outcome is under appeal by legal representatives.
"At this time we cannot comment further, beyond emphasizing that the current owner and staff are dedicated to be a committed, inclusive and responsible member of the community."
Wickham said he will continue to fight his case if needed.


"It happens in our daily life, work life, social activity," he said.

"The average Canadian never calls themselves racist, but if a significant part of the population have legitimate stories of being discriminated against, this has to be seen beyond the scope of a restaurant claim."
