CHIVIDO24: Chioma’s family under fire for marrying daughter off in Lagos

Controversial reality star DeeOne has lambasted afrobeats singer Davido’s wife, Chioma Rowland’s family, for marrying their daughter off in Lagos instead of their home state of Imo.
Davido and Chioma’s traditional wedding was held at the Eko Hotel and Suites on Tuesday.

Reacting in a video message shared via his Instagram account, DeeOne berated Chioma’s family for holding their daughter’s traditional wedding in a hotel. He claimed that it was the first time he saw an Igbo lady tying the knot traditionally in Lagos.

DeeOne said, “I have been waiting to end so I can say my mind. Congratulations to the couple. But Igbo people, you didn’t do well.

“Because the groom is rich you allow them to step on tradition. If it were to be a poor man, you would insist that he should come to the East for the wedding. It has to happen in the bride’s hometown. That’s the way it is.

“But because of money, respected Igbo leaders travelled to Lagos for a traditional wedding. This is the first time I’m hearing this kind of thing in my life. If the wedding had happened in the bride’s hometown, there would have been a lot of economic benefits.

“In life, just have money. That’s all I will say. Just have money. There’s nothing like tradition. I didn’t believe the wedding would happen in Lagos. I thought it was mandatory in Igbo culture to hold a traditional wedding in the bride’s hometown. But I didn’t know that Igbo tradition is divided into two; one for the rich and the other for the poor.”
