A young Nigerian lady has shocked her family, friends, and the public by making the decision to cancel her traditional wedding, which was scheduled to take place on January 8, 2025, in Otolo, Nnewi, Anambra State.
The lady, identified as Amara Vanessa from Nnewi, made the announcement just a day before the highly anticipated event via her social media account, leaving everyone in surprise.
In a candid and heartfelt Facebook post shared on January 7, Amara expressed her decision to cancel the wedding, citing personal reasons. She emphasized that her primary focus is on finding true love and being with the right partner, one who brings peace and joy into her life. She lightened the mood by humorously adding, “Anywhere you see me, just dash me money because 2024 showed me shege and pepper with a little bit of ice cream mixed with bitter leaf, then medium size of fufu and ora soup, but I came out stronger and better.”
Reflecting on the decision, she explained, “I was supposed to be married tomorrow, but I cancelled it due to some personal reasons. I can’t afford any more situations in my life that bring out the worst in me.” She further added, “I can’t afford bonding with another wrong soul. It’s exhausting and requires too much for me to recover from. I need calmness and gentleness in my life. I need love, and I need my own man.”
The unexpected and bold move has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many people admiring her courage for prioritizing her own peace and happiness over societal expectations. Her decision to take control of her future and seek a life filled with love, peace, and authenticity has earned her support and admiration from various quarters.
