In a nationwide uproar, engineer Kunle Cole is opposing son Taiwo’s union with actress Wofai Fada, citing concerns over age gaps. Nigerians are actively discussing on social media, questioning the family’s intervention in adults’ choice of partners.

The recent saga circulating on social media centers on the controversy surrounding the marriage between actor Taiwo Cole and actress Wofai Fada.

The commotion came after Engineer Kunle Cole, Taiwo’s father, publicly addressed the rejection of their son’s marriage by Wofai Fada’s in-laws.

According to leaked audio, engineer Kunle Cole cited several reasons for the family’s disapproval, including the significant age difference between Taiwo, who is 30, and Wofai Fada, who is 38.

Furthermore, he expressed concern over the hasty nature of the marriage arrangement, claiming that Taiwo Wofai only met Fada seven months earlier and that she was pregnant with his child.

The leaked conversation sparked a debate among Nigerians, with some expressing support for the father’s position and emphasizing the importance of parental consent in marriage. Others defended Taiwo’s autonomy as an adult, arguing that age should not be a barrier to love.

Despite the divergent opinions, the situation highlights broader cultural and societal norms regarding marriage, age dynamics and familial approval in Nigeria.

As the discussion unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the complexities inherent in relationships and the significance of family dynamics in marital decisions.
