Nigerian man set to marry elder sister of his ex-girlfriend who he dated for five years
A Nigerian man identified as Dr Emmanuel on Twitter has caused confusion on the micro-blogging platform after he revealed that he is set to tie the knot with the elder sister of his ex-girlfriend who he dated for five years.
In what seems to be largely unconventional, he stated that his ex-girlfriend and himself had a rosy relationship for five years, and he decided to take things to the next level. In so doing he popped the question and asked her to marry him.
Unfortunately, she said no, claiming that her parents will not let her marry a non-igbo. In his dilemma he was comforted by her elder sister who he claimed he fell in love with and is now going to marry instead of her younger sister, his ex-girlfriend.
Many social media users have reacted to his rather interesting situation. While some believe there is a taboo in the entire happening, some others think the guy is doing the wrong thing and his ex-girlfriend is right in threatening 'fire and brimstone.'
It is also confusing that the elder sister is allowed to marry a 'non-igbo' and evident that the younger sister might have lied because she was not ready to settle down with him.
Many people have counted it as fate that such had to happen for him to be united with his true soul mate and some just think it is plain absurd. As for the apparent groom-to-be, he is just happy that his heart break has been cushioned with love from someone in the same family.
Here are some reactions from social media users who think that Dr Emmanuel made quite a quick switch where he should have taken his time.
We live in interesting times.
