During a wedding ceremony, a Nigerian bride confronted her absentee father, who had reappeared on her special day after neglecting her for 29 years.
The saga unfolded dramatically, as recounted on Twitter (now X) by user @ps_wears.
The bride’s biological father had disappeared after impregnating her mother during his time as a Corps member in Kwara State. Despite his prolonged absence and lack of financial support, he resurfaced upon learning of his daughter’s impending wedding.
Out of respect, the father was contacted and asked to provide a list of traditional requirements for the groom. However, complications arose when he insisted on adhering to his cultural traditions, conflicting with the bride’s upbringing by her Yoruba stepfather.
Despite the groom’s willingness to comply with the father’s demands, the bride adamantly refused to compromise on her desire for a Yoruba wedding.
On the wedding day, the absentee father arrived and boldly took a seat at the high table, expecting special treatment. His presence caused distress for the bride, who demanded that he relocate to a regular guest seat. When he refused, tensions escalated, threatening to disrupt the ceremony.
Observing the escalating situation, the bride’s stepfather intervened and called the police to remove the absentee father from the venue.
“You impregnated a woman 29 years ago as a Corps member posted to a village in Kwara. You left with style because you didn’t want the pregnancy. You never came back for the child or sent a dime to your child. Family of the lady traced you through the help of the school you were posted and traced your family residence, just to tell them you have a child after she delivered and that they want you to keep contacts for future reasons.
“28 years after you are notified that your daughter is getting married and you were invited out of respect and even told to send a list of what your tradition request of a groom. Since you have no shame, you sent a long list.
“The groom sent everything to you as tradition requires, there was no negotiation, but the lady insisted on having a yoruba wedding since she was raised by a yoruba stepfather. You now said it’s impossible that she is your daughter and must wed according to your tradition.
“On the small engagement party, you showed up and went to high table to sit, as per na me get pickin! The money they sent for you to buy colour of the event you didn’t. You were came smelling alcohol. “Bride came out and saw her dad by impregnation and went back inside. That the wedding won’t hold if he doesn’t return to the congregation. This is how drama started. People started begging the man, he refused, mother was crying and the yoruba dad called, police to move him out of the hall and hold him in the patrol vehicle till the end of the wedding.”
“Wedding sha went on, and after everything they released him, Grandma from Bayelsa was around. “No one knew she was the one who authorised the police arrest. When mama will advice the couple at reception she told us, pre marital sexx should be frowned at and if a man thinks he is a father by just impregnating a woman, then he should be locked up like my son was today.”
“Mama faced grace and said, for every one naira your mum recieved while raising you, I sent them, make sure you don’t raise a mistake like I did, take care of your mum in her old age and your other responsible father. Mama drops mic and off to the airport.
“Bayelsa women are strong women. They stood behind their granddaughter and made sure the event was a success. Five of them flew in to stop the men from disturbing the wedding. Once again, if you are a Bayelsa woman, I salute you all.”
