A lady shared her traditional marriage video, where her husband’s brother represented him during the rites. An insensitive comment read, “Person wear Ankara for introduction? God abeg!”—mistaking the marriage for an introduction and dismissing Ankara as unsuitable for cultural events.

This reflects a shallow focus on materialism over the essence of culture and tradition. Ankara, a rich symbol of African heritage, is both vibrant and deeply rooted in cultural expression.

Marriage rites celebrate love and unity, not flashy appearances. Let’s honor traditions and appreciate personal choices rather than undermining them with misplaced judgments.
