Wait... the fvck did I just read?!!

Your son, a grown ass man, needs your PERMISSION to marry anyone he chooses?!!

Is this a joke?!!


Let me assume this didn't come from the family. Even a family of stark illiterates can't be this dense.

MyVILLAGEpeople:

I had to zoom to look at him again.

That guy is almost 40

Zonefree:
She's 38, he's barely 30.


Whopping 8 years difference.


I got nothing to say, let God's will be done.


Happy married life to Wofai. Every woman deserves a Man in her life.

Why does she want to enter a family that doesn't want her?

She should be wise enough to know it won't end well....unless she is desperate?!

Yea she is I guess

According to you

idahme:

If you are you won't be behaving like someone on the streets looking for bailout funds.

Now that you are employed, it's time to work on your mindset. You need help else you pass it down your children and grandchildren.

You need the help more.

folake4u:


But I nor lie. 😂😂😂

You no lie oooo my sister . Lemme go ask Tunde self

SmallmebigGod:


Then the family should be ready for serious legal battle. I think they are being petty.
They want to decide for a 30 year old man, we have passed that age. And I don't think his inheritance is dependent on his marital status except his father's will stated that.

Legal battle, based on what?

As a child, you are not automatically entitled to receive something from your parents’ estates. In fact, there is no legal obligation on a parent to provide for their child, or children, after they die and when they are making a will.

Don't despise a small beginning. That's how zeleensky started. Now he is Putin's nightmare.

These girls are always looking for big fish that will hook them in the throat, if it's not another woman's husband, it's one from generational money. There are other fishes o, but it's that big fish they want all to themselves.

Tunde nor get family letterhead paper.

dominique:


To them she's a nobody.

That's true.


I just want folks here to know that she's not the lazy type

Wofai should have known better. She can't tell us there are no issues surrounding their relationship. They make her appear she's desperate. Not too good for her.

Tallesty1:
The woman is hardworking as hell, and she's comfortable.

Aside from her acting career, she also owns solid a business, a good ride, and a home. I know she's not filthy rich, but she's somebody.

She is loud. Old money hates noise.

dominique:


To them she's a nobody.

Not that, She is a Nobody, as you are claiming here.

They may NOT like her Personality. (From her TV programmes, she seem a Wild, Disrespectful, Impatient and Violent Person).

They may have some dirts on her,too. Maybe A Sexual misdeed.

When they tell you Ladies that Male Promiscuity and Female Promiscuity is NOT the same,
Una nor dey gree Hear word.

dominique:


They're aware of his intentions to marry the lady, they just weren't in support. Old money or new money, they need to realise that there's a level of control they can exert on an adult, a male for that matter. This action taken by them could make the son further distance himself away from them. Look at how things went with Psquare's family. Their rejection of the Lola led to estrangement between Peter and his siblings till date. The British Royal family is another example.

My present wife and I faced the same situation,her family were not in agreement of our marriage despite calling me for introduction,things took a downward spiral. We both quietly went to court to get married,we are two years now and counting. She is a daughter to them and a wife to me.When it comes to feelings,love and emotions there is a limit family can go.Parents should realise they don't have to control every facets of the lives of their children especially when they are adults and can make their decisions and live with the consequences.Put pressure on the lad and he will ostracise the family,look at what William did to the Royal family. Parents have lived their lives let them live with the consequences of their decision.

Well they are the reason the whole Nigeria and many parts of the world are talking about it.

Chai... Na true o , shey I will not reconsider like this

Or better still I fit help am create one. That letterhead dey important.

Tallesty1:
If your adult son decides to get married without informing you then you have every right to tell the world that you were not part of it. You just can't marry into old money fam without the families meeting.

I feel for the lady sha, getting pregnant out of wedlock will lead to a one problem or the other no matter how you handle it.

Your ADULT son or daughter reserves the full natural and constitutional right to marry whomever and whenever he or she decides.

Permission is not what they need or require from their parents or family.

The only thing they can seek is your blessing and presence.


Let's learn to talk and act like we are learned and in the 21st century abeg.

🤔.... So the guy went to cross river alone and got married like that without any of his family members present or what? And the "in-laws" didn't see anything wrong with that? Nawa o...

Dear young girls,

He is not my type, he is not rich enough, he is not trendy enough, he is not tall dark and handsome, he doesn't have full beards. He is not this, he is not that. Dem dey tell una now, una dey find weytin no lost.
Shey u see weytin dey happen to ur role models at 38. This babe still dey lucky na, shey the boy still decided to go ahead with her against the wish of his family, plenty babes dey for street, dem no even mind make the family of the man even do billboard and advert on NTA news to rubbish them like ds, make the boy just decide to be with them. Even if e no Marry them, make e just dey for dem like bf or fiance, make dem for get chance of pregnancy.

The babe dey play with fire sha, make nothing happen to the boy o, otherwise she go pay lawyer money tire. She no go jail o but they will unsettle her in a very big way

Zonefree:

When an Adult son is in love, it's best he listen to his family. They see things he can't see cos a Man in love is a foolish man.

When an adult son or daughter has taken a decision despite being advised otherwise by his or her family, it's best they let them be.

He or she is an adult, not a child!

Every man reserves the right to be foolish by choice... He should be allowed to learn the easy or hard way.

Dear Nigerians, know your limits... Life no suppose hard.

Stop Trying to be too Clever! 😕

The Family must have seen something or done some Investigation on her, for them to REJECT her.

Some families do NOT sit down and allow their Sons to marry just any Girl he brings home or claims to Love.

That one no concern them. They hate what they hate and they will go through any length to show it.

This is one of the prophesies that’s gaining momentum today and shows how close we really are to the end of days.

folake4u:

I tell you! Marrying into such family isn't easy especially if the person is not of their social circle. They see everyone outside their circle as "social climber " no matter how "comfortable or well to do" the person is. If you don't have a name, you can't come in.

I wish Wofia luck. May God give her enough Panadol for her existing and yet to come headache.

RodgersAkpafu:
all I'll say is

I hope this woman is worth alienating your family over

Now, this is the right question...!

I believe he has already answered that for himself by proceeding with the controversial union.

greypencils:
Old money will accept new money if new money is highly cerebral, intellectual, exposed and from a middle-class family background, not dirt poor.

One of the best posts here.

In times past it was very difficult to make a lot of money. Those who succeeded were so conducted themselves in a particular way and came very easily to shame. They also tried to ensure that nobody close to them soiled their reputation.

The Patriarch of that family had to strong willed in order to keep his proteges in line including not limited to wielding the big stick when necessary.

What this man would have done is to buy time and get one or two people who are lieutenants/confidants to the Patriarch over to his side and then seek a middle course of action that can lead to a somewhat amicable solution. It doesn't have to be a battle always.

He has too much to lose. In medieval Europe that family will destroy the girls business and the young man will be emasculated.

Lol... You can be so needlessly emotional! It's amusing.

It is the family's right or perogative to accept or reject their son's union.

However, it is not in their place to permit or allow a grown man marry whomever he chooses.

That's my point, Sir.

The letter should have been worded more intellectually.

They want him to marry someone they handpicked for him so that he’ll be miserable.

Then while married he’ll be running games on the side because his heart is not in the marriage. People will really wish misery on you just so that you can fit into a box they designed for you.

The whole public statement is disgusting in and off itself

This gaslighting tactics is obsolete try another.

A woman has the right to reject whoever she wants to reject. She has the right to want the best and choose the best. If you fall in the post of the rejects , work on yourself and hope someone find you worthy.

Keep this tale by moonlight to yourself but you may choose to use it to scare your own female kids into marrying the wrong persons if you like.

spencekat:
Simply put, the groom's family never approved their marriage.

They don't want him to make the biggest mistake of his life. Marrying a used woman that others had for free.
