@Ngwababe1: “See how dem welcome oyibo wife, our own na to test us with cooking under the sun. It’s well o.”
@AgbIvy: “Our people and double standards eh. Imagine naija wife wears short nika now, all hel! will break lose.”
@dinmaraphael: “Lmao what’s new here, it’s what our igbo brothers do when they bring a foreigner home, of course the family will be in on it to pretend to be the best in-laws. But when they marry their fellow igbo woman, the story changes and they don’t do all the performative nonsense.”
@TheBaba_D: “She is a foreigner. This is basically a traditional marriage performance to introduce her to the kindred since they didn’t go to her country. You can see the canopy, Kola nut, etc. This is also done when someone dies & was buried in another land other than his or her home.”
@sophia_ekeruche: “Glad she is not white o…so they won’t say they did all that because she is white. Happy for her. It shows how much they really cherish their son.”
@jeomaltd: “You receive what you give. she must have made his stay in abroad a very pleasant one and the pleasantries definitely reached his family in the village.”
@chidexAC: “That’s nice of them. Again, don’t form your idea of marriage and family love with what unhappy people post here.”
@UdokaOsuji: “And the other efulefu was crying that she saw dirt roads and there was no network.”
