A video of a Nigerian couple at their wedding has sparked controversy on social media.
This comes after social media influencer Chude, via the microblogging platform X, formerly Twitter, shared the video with the caption, ‘It is important to marry your kind.’
In the clip, the couple, seen donning a white outfit, was smoking a cigar and rocking each other out in another clip.

The video has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media; while some condemned the couple, others admonished people to marry their kind like the couple.
Senior man: “Na only for kain thing them dae do ‘marry your kind.’ If husband and wife dae pray for their own wedding, na war for Twitter.”
Oye wrote: “Have you seen how nobody is criticising the couple for what they choose to do? Wait until its a couple that choose to worship and pray at their wedding reception, and you’ll see how demons will manifest online.”
Eucharia Uranta-Okonkwo wrote: “It’s hard to say whether I fully agree with your statement, but one thing is certain: two unsuspecting, innocent individuals have just been spared from potential heartache or constant trauma had they chosen to marry either of them. If you’re rough, please stick to marrying someone equally rough, so reserved and calm people can find each other and build peaceful relationships. Let’s reduce the drama and heartbreak in marriages. On that note, I wish these two the best!”
