A Yoruba adage said " Someone that had fixed his wedding date, yet going around hunting snakes his playing a dangerous play "

Though the report didn't stated what happened that led to the stabbing, but whenever we have a day like this on the way, stay clear of any form of argument or fighting.

The message is not for only groom or bride but everyone. Let hold our life so dearly and stay away from any form of trouble that can cause us sudden death.

May God comfort his loved ones.

So sad, investigation might lead to a lady he promised marriage or a guy he took his girl friend. I wonder how people find it so easy to take another life. the wicked can never go unpunished.
Re: Groom-to-be Stabbed To Death Days Before Wedding Ceremony by SURElee(f): 8:27am On Jan 15
The wife-to-be is pregnant.
She will now be a single mother. Can ladies be wise to keep pregnant simply within marriage?
Isn't that how it should be?
God rest his soul.

Now she has to raise a child alone.
God abeg o!

His bride is prolly pregnant 🤰

She has a decision to make.

1). Give birth for the dead man and become a baby mama with no further suitors.

2). Get rid of the pregnancy and re-enter the dating pool.. undecided

The way the world is now, private life events should not be made public at all....you never know who your enemy is or who is jealous of you.

You will never see me post my family in public even my WhatsApp status.

The less people know about you, the more likely you are to live long.
Re: Groom-to-be Stabbed To Death Days Before Wedding Ceremony by egbedox: 8:48am On Jan 15
See ehn, you can never be more careful. Only rely on the protection from God Almighty.

May I shock you that there may be people that just fixing a date for the wedding is a problem to them?

The Holy book says "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil"

May the soul of the departed rest in peace
