A Nigerian man residing overseas has sparked criticism on the internet for opting to have his younger brother stand in for him on his wedding day.
A video circulating online, captioned “The husband is not around then he asks his kid bro to help him out and he did very well,” captured the moment when the groom’s brother stepped in for him. Dressed elegantly in black traditional attire with a gold-patterned Agbada, the man assumed the groom’s role while the bride looked resplendent in her traditional black and gold dress, accessorized with a black bridal hand fan.
The brother earnestly fulfilled his duties, showering the bride with cash and showcasing impressive dance moves on stage, prompting speculation about his identity as the husband.
In response, many individuals voiced their opinions in the comments section, chastising the Nigerian man abroad for allowing his brother to stand in for him on such an important occasion. Some argued that the groom’s brother’s actions had automatically led to his loss of the bride
It’s not bad, he will come back and then do the court thing.
I don’t think this is actually bad
Some uses the husband frame but I think using the kid bro ain’t a bad idea either
