The wedding invitation of a Nigerian couple, Henry and Queen, is causing a Twitterstorm.
The card was meant to be creative, apparently, but it is hitting the wrong cords in the hearts of Nigerian netizens.
According to the details on the card posted on Facebook, the couple’s wedding is scheduled for October 14 at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Fruitful Vine Parish in Ladipo Estate, Oshodi, Lagos.
The bone of contention is the content of the invitation card. It reads:
“A warrior retires hopefully. After years of exploring and sampling. Hitting multiple jackpots and doing things, Our guy thought it was going to be like any other day until…”He was arrested just as Saul was by God. But na woman catch the werey. Baba must marry by force. Make everybody rest…”
That is not all. At the bottom of the card, ladies are told they have one last chance to kiss the groom at the reception ‘if his wife allows it’.
The reception, according to the invitation, is slated for D Bongus Hall and Events Centre, 48 Ailegun Road, Jakande Estate, Isolo, Lagos.
