See more photos of the couple and the invitation to their wedding reception below:
Congratulations to her and to them… I wish them the best of happiness and married life! But, why is this making news? Making this occasion newsworthy exposes the highest level of hypocrisy in Nigeria.
Men marry much younger women everyday in Nigeria and around the world and it does not even crack a corner in the news bulletin. Rich older men marry much more younger women every time…an nobody cares! They term it “trophy wives!”
A couple of years ago, Houston’s oil billionaire, J Howard Marshall (82 years old) married actress Anna Nicole Smith (22). Former Italian Prime Minister, Sylvio Belusconi had a whole lot of much younger African girlfriends. Famous movie star Michael Douglas married actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. Mr. Douglas was 26 years old when Ms. Jones was born. And, if it wasn’t for the seeming incestuous nature in their relationship, famous movie director Woody Allen married his much younger step daughter.
This beautiful woman (bride) has found someone she fell in love with and wants to spend her life with him…matrimonially! And we are making news about it? There are a whole lot of things happening in Nigeria we can discuss other than a 45 year old woman marrying 27 year old man! Personally, I think he’s too old for her; she should marry someone 20 – 25…if she could find them and fall in love!
