After a time in a long-distance relationship, a Nigerian guy eventually gets married to his American partner and expresses his immense satisfaction.
The couple, identified as Mr. and Mrs. Aderemi, shared a glimpse of what appears to be their traditional Nigerian wedding on the video-sharing app TikTok.
In a now-viral video, the Nigerian guy could be seen embracing his wife and kissing her.
Many viewers were quick to commend the pair for their love and affection, but some couldn’t help but point out how much of an age difference there was.
Priceless made fun of the man’s decision by saying, “Wife dey na you dey find Rihanna 🥺,” in response to one of the comments.
Some remarks, nevertheless, were harsher in nature. Mr. O B C said, “Chaiiii! Poverty well done,” implying that there may have been other reasons for the marriage.
On the other hand, Mama and Her Girls warned against drawing hasty judgments and asked viewers to watch the entire film before doing so.
Gift Feddies called attention to the discrepancy between older men marrying younger women and older women being scrutinized for the same, raising concerns about the double standards that society has around age differences in partnerships.
Deborah Oliver raised worries about unequal power dynamics when she voiced her personal hope that her brothers wouldn’t marry older women for financial benefit.
Amid the varying responses, HotpasteMEDIA supported the couple’s relationship, highlighting the woman’s beauty and raising doubts about the necessity of severe criticism.
