The marriage announcement between actress Wofai Fada and her husband Taiwo Cole over the weekend has caused much controversy, as there has been reported conflict between Wofai and the Cole family.
While Taiwo and his bride had decided to have their wedding despite the odds, the Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, says they were unaware of any union and that they had not granted permission for such.
This is even as the issue has generated generous reactions from Nigerians. See some of the reactions:
Wow, I’m shocked at you people. So if the single mother is a good woman and makes him happy, he should not marry her. There should be a perfume called double standards for y’all. Y’all stink of it

People that are not okay
Most of them have brothers and uncles with multiple children from different women and they expect someone’s day to marry them— Mistress E. (@clarah_fransis) May 5, 2024
This Wofai talk is wild cos a lot you are worse than the Cole’s Family. The only difference is you are not as bold or have any legacy you’re gatekeeping.
Also a lot of you won’t let your siblings marry an older woman or single mother
Let’s stop the pretense and keep it moving.

And some of them have successfully made ladies single mothers yet they wouldn’t marry single mothers
Useless lots

I can’t really say much about this issue because we can judge by seeing things from far. There most be reason behind every action, it’s their family issue, let them deal with it.

Why can’t “The Cole Family of Victoria Island” just give her 50m-100m to leave their son??
What happened to the culture??— Rhaenyra Targaryen’s Lawyer! (@prettygirllima) May 5, 2024
See why a family’s divorce can affect you for life, because how’s Wofai supposed father in law of Victoria Island complaining that he’s not aware nor was he invited, while the mother in law is in the wedding, seating pretty and all smiles with her son, Cole of Victoria Island🙂. pic.twitter.com/iyuXMb2VW1

The family of Taiwo Cole are rejecting Wofai Fada just because she is from a wretched background. This is why I laugh when men say that men marry down but women marry up. This is a lie from the pit of h3ll. Even if a man wants to marry down, the family will kick against pic.twitter.com/sFKwUFZykA
