12-tier cakes and VIP toilets:
If inviting a couple of hundred of your nearest and dearest to your
wedding sounds like a big gathering, then you are probably not getting married
in Nigeria.
The country's extravagant celebration culture
often sees up to 1,000 people coming together to toast the happy couple at a
lavish party whose every detail has been meticulously planned months in
advance.
Now, a wave of new startups is looking to tap
into the booming industry and provide services especially tailored to the needs
of the country's large-scale marriage celebrations. From wedding planner
schools to VIP mobile toilets equipped with flat screen TVs, CNN's African
Start-Up profiles six businesses which want to get a slice of Nigeria's
wedding industry cake.
Every week, African Start-Up
follows entrepreneurs in various countries across the continent to see
how they are working to make their business dreams become reality.
