LAGOS, NIGERIA — A Nigerian man has claimed he found out that his girlfriend was getting married after a friend showed him a wedding invitation. Speaking in a video circulating on social media, the man alleged that he had been supporting the woman financially, including paying her school fees, and was unaware she had plans to marry someone else.
Why This Happened
According to the man, a friend informed him that another acquaintance was attending a wedding and later showed him the invitation. He said he was surprised to discover that the bride was allegedly his girlfriend.
He claimed he initially believed it was a misunderstanding and decided to attend the ceremony to confirm the information. According to his account, he had earlier asked the woman whether she was preparing for marriage, but she reportedly told him she would only be serving as a bridesmaid.
What He Said
The man alleged that when he approached the bride at the wedding venue, she denied knowing him. He further claimed that security personnel questioned him after she reportedly alerted them, leading to his temporary detention before a friend secured his release.
He also said the experience had changed his views on relationships and marriage. Extra News Nigeria has not independently verified the claims in the viral video, and the woman involved has not publicly responded.
Background to the Story
