Drama unfolds as father who abandoned daughter for 29 years appears at her wedding. At a wedding ceremony, tension mounts as a Nigerian bride confronts her absent father, who suddenly reappears on her special day after neglecting her for nearly three decades.
The incident, recounted on Twitter (now X) by a user identified as @ps_wears, details the tumultuous events that unfolded during the ceremony.
According to the account, the bride’s biological father, who had vanished after impregnating her mother during his service as a Corps member in Kwara State, resurfaces upon learning of his daughter’s impending nuptials.
Despite years of absence and no financial support for his daughter, the estranged father was contacted out of respect and asked to provide a list of traditional requirements for the groom.
However, complications arise when the father insists that the wedding must adhere to his cultural traditions, conflicting with the bride’s upbringing by her Yoruba stepfather.
Despite the groom’s compliance with the father’s demands, the bride steadfastly refuses to compromise on her desire for a Yoruba wedding.
On the wedding day, the absent father boldly takes a seat at the head table, expecting special treatment, much to the distress of the bride.
Demanding that he move to a regular guest seat, the bride’s stepfather intervenes as tensions escalate, ultimately calling the police to remove the father from the venue.
The Twitter user recounts the backstory, revealing how the father had impregnated a woman 29 years ago during his service in Kwara. He had left abruptly, showing no interest in the child or providing any financial support. The family had traced him years later, informing him of his daughter’s upcoming wedding out of respect. However, the father insisted on his cultural traditions for the wedding, causing conflict with the bride’s wishes for a Yoruba ceremony.
The drama culminates with the police intervention, ensuring the wedding proceeds smoothly. Despite the disruption, the grandmother from Bayelsa, who authorized the police arrest, provides sage advice to the newlyweds, emphasizing the importance of responsible fatherhood and care for one’s mother in her old age.
The Twitter user acknowledges the strength of Bayelsa women, who supported their granddaughter and ensured the success of the wedding despite the challenges posed by the men involved.
