It’s a Saturday morning and you’re standing in front of your mirror in six yards of wine-coloured lace, your gele sitting at a confident forty-five degree angle, your bag matching your shoes matching your eyeshadow. You look absolutely incredible. You spent three weeks planning this outfit, two hours in a makeup chair, and a number we are not going to say out loud on the full look. And you are going to walk into that wedding hall and be the most put-together version of yourself while celebrating someone you genuinely love. This is the Nigerian wedding experience in its fullest glory and there is nothing quite like it anywhere in the world. But somewhere between the joy, the food, the looks, and the third round of money spraying, a conversation has been brewing. On X (formerly Twitter), in comment sections, in group chats, and in full-blown viral moments, Nigerians have been asking: what exactly is the true cost of showing up to a wedding? And is it time for the tradition to gently, lovingly evolve? For the uninitiated, here is a rough breakdown of what attending a Nigerian wedding as a woman can look like financially. The aso-ebi fabric itself, […] The post Let’s Talk About the Cost of Being a Nigerian Wedding Guest appeared first on BN Style.

As part of BNS Women’s Month, Money Week invites us to reflect on the real meaning of financial independence, and there is no better place to start than with powerful words from the Her Money, Her Power campaign. Across industries and lived experiences, one thing remains clear: money is not just about wealth. It is about freedom, security, and the ability to make choices that shape your life on your own terms. Waje Iruobe For Waje, financial independence is rooted in autonomy and care. It means not having to be at anyone’s mercy, being able to chase your dreams, and showing up fully for the people you love. It is a reminder that money can be both a shield and a support system.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by AsoEbiBella Live (@asoebibella.live) Eki Ogunbor For Eki Ogunbor, the conversation extends into industry and impact.

Women across Africa are building businesses, networks, track records, often with nothing but their own capital and conviction. Yet despite that effort, the African Development Bank estimates a $49 billion financing gap still stands between female entrepreneurs and the funding they need to scale. That gap is a reflection of who gets believed, who gets access, and whose vision investors are willing to bet on. Kofoworola Omowale has spent her career interrogating exactly that. With a background spanning law, private equity, and venture capital, and experience across Kuramo Capital, Future Africa, and the Nigerian Exchange Group, she brings a rare dual perspective: the systems that move capital, and the women too often shut out of them. For BNS Women’s Month Money Week, she breaks down why women bootstrap by strategy not fear, what female founders must understand before walking into a pitch room, and what it will truly take to build an ecosystem that responds equitably to the work women are already doing. Hello Kofoworola. How are you feeling today? Hello! I am alright, thank you. Amazing. Let’s get right into it.
