The engagement of American jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer and Nigerian billionaire heir Geoffrey Ogunlesi sparked a mix of reactions online. While many congratulated the couple, some comments were critical. One user remarked, “They don’t learn from the heartache of their brothers.”—implying that Geoffrey might be making a mistake by marrying Meyer due to perceived relationship issues faced by others.
This type of comment unfairly projects negativity onto the couple’s relationship based on assumptions or stereotypes. Instead of celebrating their happiness, it suggests skepticism about their future, diminishing the joy surrounding their engagement. Comments like these reveal more about the commenter’s biases than about the couple’s relationship itself.
