A Nigerian man has sparked shock and disbelief on social media after narrating how his friend, a groom, took an unexpected detour on his wedding day. Instead of heading to his traditional wedding ceremony, he reportedly visited a bet shop to gamble with the money intended for the bride price.
The shocking incident, which was shared on X (formerly Twitter), revealed the groom’s reckless actions on what was supposed to be one of the most significant days of his life. According to the narrator, the groom, who had been expected at his traditional wedding, went to a Bet9ja shop and used the bride price money to place bets on virtual games while his bride and the wedding party waited for him to arrive.
In his post, the man recounted: “My friend didn’t show up early for his traditional wedding. My bro went to a Bet9ja shop to play virtual with the money he was supposed to pay as bride price. He started calling us all about what he did.”
The incident reportedly happened on the same day the groom was scheduled to tie the knot traditionally, leaving many stunned by the turn of events.
After losing the money in his gamble, the groom panicked and reached out to his friends, admitting his mistake and asking for assistance to resolve the situation.
As the story gained traction online, it triggered a wave of reactions and heated debates across social media platforms, with many expressing outrage and disbelief over the groom’s actions.

@iambekong: “Your friend is just irresponsible. Imagine gambling away the bride price money!”
@officialbigboyp: “Your bro shouldn’t be getting married if he still rolls like that. Marriage requires maturity, and this isn’t it.”
The story has since gone viral, sparking discussions about financial discipline and accountability in relationships, with many questioning whether the groom was ready for the responsibilities of marriage.
