<p>I attended a wedding recently, and something happened that I honestly can't stop thinking about. The bride had 10 bridesmaids, and they contributed ₦1 million each as a wedding gift for her — ₦10 million in total. A few days before the wedding, the couple still had some outstanding expenses to sort out, so the groom asked if they could use some of the money to take care of them. The bride refused. She said the money was given to her, not to both of them, and that she already had plans for it. The groom felt that since they were getting married and still had bills to settle, she should at least be willing to contribute something. They argued, things got heated, and eventually, the wedding was cancelled. A wedding that was only one week away.</p><p><br/></p><p>I've been thinking about it ever since. I understand the bride's position — if someone gives you ₦10 million as a gift, you have every right to decide what to do with it. But at the same time, if you're about to marry someone and there are still important wedding expenses to handle, wouldn't you expect your partner to at least consider helping?</p><p><br/></p><p>Or was the groom simply feeling entitled to money that wasn't his?</p><p><br/></p><p>If you were in this situation, who would you side with — the bride or the groom? And would you still go ahead with the marriage after this?</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
