The Nigerian couple’s wedding photo went viral over the weekend, revealing more about why the husband’s serious expression was popular on social media.

Many people took issue with the husband’s stern face in a clip from the wedding because of how much of the wife’s weight she had.

The Ewenandus addressed the bullying in an interview on The Morning Brief on Channels Television and provided more details about the widely distributed video.

The husband remarked, “I saw a technician walking into a hall, expecting it to be cold because a generator had a bad kick starter,” and he looked at me.

I considered every chance there was of fixing it and making sure everyone was at ease. It didn’t seem to be occurring right away.

This explanation comes after online speculations about the husband’s dissatisfaction with the wedding and blaming his wife’s weight.

However, the wife acknowledged that she was hurt and felt bad about the comments even though her husband assured her that she was aware that no one had ever criticized her online.

She said, “We’ve been together for more than 13 years, so I don’t need their approval.” I “just started grinning at it.”

She was shocked when one particular comment claimed the marriage was based on a British passport. She responded, “I’ve never even been there before.” It’s “just very shocking,” according to the spokesperson for the Nigerians, “they troll.”

The wife also described how difficult it was for her to lose weight because of her personal struggles with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance.

She explained that she had been missing her monthly cycle for three years, which had led to the weight gain.

“I had to go to the hospital, where I was put on a lot of medication to manage it,” said the patient. I’ve been going to the gym for more than six months, but I’m not sure what else to do at the moment. We are attempting.
