A Nigerian bride has gone viral after abruptly cancelling her wedding after she learned that the groom’s family would be responsible for collecting the money sprayed during the ceremony.

In a viral video spreading on X (previously Twitter), the obviously distraught bride challenged the practice, requesting that the money be chosen by her own family rather than the groom’s relatives.

Read what she said she;

“Una don see where groom family for dey pick money for marriage? Abeg, comot the okuku wey dey my head. I’m not getting married again. How will he say his family will be the one to pick our money? I no go allow am.”

The bride insisted she could not go ahead with the wedding over the disagreement, describing the groom as a “mummy’s boy.”

Instead of settling for a man she felt was unduly influenced by his family, she insisted that there were plenty of other men she could marry.

She felt that the bride’s family should be responsible for collecting the sprayed money, hence it was improper for the groom’s family to do so. She claimed that the argument was sufficient justification for calling off the wedding.

“Please remove the okuku on my head. It’s the bride’s family that picks money during the ceremony. What kind of nonsense is that? I can’t get married to a mummy’s boy. Husband full everywhere. Make he go look for him wife for front, so they can be doing mummy’s boy and mummy’s girl together,” she added..

Since then, the video has sparked conflicting responses on social media. While some users agreed with the bride’s position, others disapproved of her choice, arguing that the problem might have been settled through dialogue rather than calling off the wedding.
