The biggest problem we still have as a society is classism. There are certain families who feel that some of us ain’t worthy to get married or marry in their families. And when a family sits down and decides to write a memo so as to embarrass her to the whole universe, it speaks to how high they regard themselves and rubber stamp their disapproval, she’s about to be taken through hell. I wish them the best and all the luck in the world, and the wisdom to navigate through their marriage, because they will need it. One never knows how low people can go to inflict pain, and the newly wed couple are about to find out.

The Cole family is a popular Lagos family. A very popular street in Victoria Island is named after one of the patriarchs, as in Bishop Aboyade Cole Street. Anyways, I think because you don’t understand Yoruba and couldn’t listen to the voice note, you have missed out on a lot of very vital information shared by his father. The father actually said a lot of things. In my opinion, the family's frustration seems more towards their son than Wofai. He said he met Wofai for the first time about 6 months ago, and his son said he wanted to marry her and that she was pregnant. The family told them to wait until the birth of the baby, which is due in September or October, and that they should plan towards a wedding in December instead. The family has a due process for marriage, so it would give them the time to do all that needs to be done, as per Yoruba tradition, etc. So, they called Wofai's father in February that they wanted to come and see him, but he told them to come in May instead. Before you know it, they began seeing invitations circulating. The father and subsequently the groom were summoned to their king's palace because the due process wasn’t followed, and all. The father was cautioned, and the groom begged for forgiveness. They told him to cancel the event, and a family elder was assigned to the matter so the due process is followed. The father also insinuated that his son has a precedent. He already has a 5-year-old child with another woman, and the family are the ones responsible for the child. Another crucial part is that the groom’s parents divorced 27 years ago, and it was his mother that followed him. What I deduced from the conversation is that the groom probably grew up with his mom and is not as close, hence the reason for going about it this way (I might be wrong about this). The father's annoyance is also that there are consequences of this on him.
@DamiAdeniyi5 ай бұрын
Also, the reference to her age came up when the father was talking about the due process. I think the frustration in which he spoke made it sound ageist, but I don’t believe it was the intention. Also, while it is true that there is classism within Lagos' elite, but in this case, I think it's not as clear-cut because there are layers of issues that were expressed by the father.
@DamiAdeniyi5 ай бұрын
If you remember, a few years ago, something very similar happened with Femi Fani-Kayode’s oldest daughter and the Randles (Btw two prominent Yoruba families). Femi Fani-Kayode doesn’t really have the best relationship with his first wife and the children from that marriage (three ladies). So when the daughter was getting married, they didn’t involve their father, and he was upset about the fact that the due process as the father of the bride wasn’t followed. I believe this is similar, just reversed. So really, it is more about what is “traditionally” correct. I believe this is similar just reversed.

While the family may be classist, there has to be some decorum on the part of the bride and groom. Marriage is not romance o. You need your support system in case things go south. Why would you as a woman enter war zone? The boy honestly seems irresponsible. He has a child and I hear it’s his family caring for the child. Then social media people have had nothing nice to say about the Taiwo guy. They’ve called him a bully and all sorts. If he had any sense and independence, I wonder if his family would release this letter. I hope this girl knows what she’s doing. Some of these ones from rich homes get as them be mumu.
@Seyi.O5 ай бұрын
Well said! Marriage is not the butterflies or honeymoon. The boy clearly lacks good counsel. Good friends will tell him to persuade his family while maintaining his ground with Wofai. And just like you said, you don’t enter war zone unguarded. There is nothing wrong with the family prioritizing social class. The point is the guy needs to position her in good light - that’s how you know a wise man. She’s not doing bad at all and she will be respected for her hustle to be where she is today. My cousin had same issue. Her father rejected the guy because he’s from a poor home and said he doesn’t want his daughter to suffer. My cousin decided to get pregnant thereby compelling her father to agree to it. Today, 13 years after, the guy has divorced her.

The fact that his family expects Wofai’s family to meet with them and not them going to meet Wofai’s family also tells me all I need to know about them. Like you said, nothing wrong with them prioritizing social class, but it will be to Wofai’s detriment. When all breaks loose, she will still loose. It’s the children that will sadly suffer for it.

Love your content but I think you should have gotten someone to help you interpret the audio so you can better understand the situation. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with age or class. From the audio 1. The groom told his dad and he told him to hold let him inform the family (Apparently they are connected to 3 kings in the west (Lagos, Ogun and .... ). Didn't hear the last one clearly. 2. Guy informs dad that bride is pregnant. Dad says ok. Calls brides dad in February. Brides dad says lets talk in May. 3. May 4th. Grooms family is surprise they did trad. 4. Groom and dad are summoned to one of the palace on why they were not carried along. Groom apologizes. Palace says they must do the right thing. AKA Follow our process. 5. Groom has a child in the UK that is 5yrs old they are sending money to the mom for upkeep. 6. Grooms dad feels it was all planned by his Ex wife. Groom family writes disclaimer cos trust me some people take tradition very serious.

The family is not embarrassed. The boy should be ashamed of himself. He clearly is not wise. Successful dragging Wofai through dirt with his immaturity to properly handle situations like this.

If a family does not accept you, you and your partner should work towards resolving whatever issues. The guy is immature - it’s his responsibility to get the family on her side. It is desperation on Wofai‘s part to move on so quickly with marriage. The family is making a clear stance - you don’t have to like it. They don’t want her and they don’t want her to claim to be part of the family. They would have already stated this verbally before doing this publicly. The question you all should ask is: if the guy was not wealthy, will she rush and marry? She’s also wanting the class and she feels she has caught a big fish and doesn’t want wisdom to lead her. This is not a curse but this marriage will only be full of trouble. I don’t know why you all are pitying her. She knew what will happen ( she’s not dumb) Wofai is desperate! The guy is also immature! They should have waited - nothing wrong with having the baby and getting married when the waters are calm.
