A Nigerian guy went viral on X (previously Twitter) after posting throwback images of himself and his wife from when they were both toddlers.
In the message, @Sadeeq_Malo disclosed that he has loved his wife for 17 years and described her as his uncle’s daughter, which piqued the interest of social media users.
Sharing the photos, read what he wrote below:
“17 years of love. I fell in love with her from the day she was born — my uncle’s daughter, now my bride. Allahummah Barik.”
The pair’s childhood photos were uploaded with modern photos of them as a married couple, resulting in a large internet interaction. The post has now sparked disagreement on social media.
While some users defended the coupling, pointing out that cousin marriages are culturally acceptable in some societies, others focused on the strange wording of his statement.
Reacting, one user wrote, “Fell in love from the day she was born? That sentence alone is wild.” Another commented, “People should calm down. Cousin marriage is normal in many cultures.”
Despite the various reactions, the man remains unfazed, relishing what he described as a 17-year love journey that culminated in marriage.
