Few days ago, there was a viral report of a Nigerian man, Chidimma Obodoechina Amedu, who reportedly married his wife Sophy Ijeoma, 7 days after she indicated interest in a post he made about looking for a wife.

Amedu's marriage post on 30th December read;

Am of age to and I am ready to say I do and am wasting no time. Send in your applications. The most qualified will be married on January 6,2018. Application closes 12mid night, 31/12/2017. Am serious about this oh and don’t say you did not see it on time. Goodluck.

Sophy Ijeoma then commented ; Am interested, just DM me, lols

Days later, Amedu took to his Facebook wall to share photos of their marraige;

Others thought I was joking when I made the post that I needed to get married to any girl I would meet in few days from that day. Jokingly posted vacancy advert. She jokingly commented saying she was interested and on 6/1/18 I got married by Igbo tradition to my one in town egg.congrts ij-Obodo. UDI gave me and I paid. Hahaahha

However some Facebook users are claiming that the couple had known each and dating for over a year, before marriage. According to some, the stunt was pulled for attention.

Here's what Obiageli Agbodike wrote about the Nigerian man and his wife;

CHECK THE DATE ON THEIR PICTURE , IT SAYS DECEMBER 3RD, BUT HE MADE HIS MARRIAGE ADVERT POST ON DECEMBER 30TH ,
Do you know the six days marriage thing that has been trending lately is a scam and lies from the pit of hell?

Well, here are the pics they took on the 3rd December probably on a date, remember they said they have never met before.

Though they met on Facebook but they have been dating for more than a year now.

This is for those that might have dumped their boo because of this cheap lies.

lmfao

You dare not tell Nigerians lies.


Because they can go as far as finding and digging out who your mum dated before she married your dad.

Damn!

Anything for attention these days.


Regardless, I wish them what they wish themselves.

Believe some stories you read on social media at your own peril.

Anything for the attention, they should enjoy their five minutes fame

Aproko Nigerians.

That's their business. Check my signature and order for your auto parts.

& nairaland don't verify the authenticity of a story b4 pushing it down our throats


Seun & his foot soldiers need beta slap!

Hmmm

they are married already..

how's it your business

Nigerians and stunts just for attention that would not last

Of course, how did they get their dresses ready and put things together in 7days?!

Believe only 10% of everything you see on Social Media until you can personally verify the veracity of the information.
People just do things on SM for cheap publicity and many people ignorantly fall for it and bloggers desperately seek for traffic to their websites and therefore concoct stories and clickbaits.

Moreover you cant contract Igbo marriages in 6 days up to the traditional marriage event, without preliminary discussions by both families which takes a process except if the girl is pregnant and the family wants to prevent a scandal

Low life liars for cheap attention on social media

GOOD FOR THEM

Lengths people go for five minutes of social media fame

The length people go for this attention tho.

But why? All in the name of trying to "feel different and unique...."

All in the name of trying to beat Disney's Cinderella. Lol.... Honestly, people have lost it in this age. They just want to trend on social media and to them that is their greatest and most remarkable achievement. Smh

Lying you got married in just seven days after meeting her?

The worst part is that some nairalanders were super gullible enough to believe it when it first trended..... Lol

People just seek unnecessary attention nowadays.

It even made headline in CNN
