A Nigerian lady, Safiyya Datti, is being dragged online instead of being congratulated on her recent elaborate wedding.
The problem is that the man she married, Sir Ruffy, was previously married to her friend and she took to social media to pray for their union at the time.
Six months down the line, she is now married to the same man.
The story dates back to 2020 when Sir Ruffy married Safiyya’s friend Kawthar.
Sir Rufy posted their wedding picture and Safiyya went under the post to congratulate him on marrying her friend and he responded, thanking her.
The marriage lasted three years and crashed. The divorce came through about six months ago.
Now Sir Ruffy has married Safiyya in another elaborate wedding.
The newlywed couple took to X to share photos and videos from their wedding ceremony.
“By the will of Allah and the permission of my parents I got married to a man whom my heart is very much pleased with over the weekend. May Allah make this journey easy for us. A ‘udhu bi kalimatillahi at-tammati min kulli shaytaanin wa hammatin wa min kulli ‘aynin lammah,” Safiyya wrote.
Sir Ruffy wrote: “By the will of Allah I went out and got married to the most gorgeous woman in the entire universe. In sha Allah soyayyar Har abada baby na 2Safiyya Datti. Duniya da lahira Bi Izi’nillah Ina yin Ki,”
This came as a surprise to X users who have observed Safiyya and Kawthar’s friendship over the years.
Both women have been known to exchange tweets among themselves and reply to each other’s tweets over the years.
Now, Sir Ruffy has deleted the post he made in 2020 announcing his wedding to Kawthar.
He also reposted a post made by one Gimbiya Kakanda talking about the right of a person to end a marriage and move on with another person.
X users are now calling out Safiyya and Sir Ruffys on their X accounts.
