Ossai Ovie Success, an aide to the Delta State government has taken a swipe at billionaire businessman, Jowizaza for wearing a face cap and a black shirt while receiving prayers from his in-law during his traditional marriage.
He stated that the businessman disrespected the elders and traditions of the land by his choice of outfit.
The marriage rites for the businessman and his woman took place yesterday, November 28, and videos from the ceremony surfaced online last night.
Expressing his disappointment at how the businessman dressed to the occasion, Ovie wrote;
‘’I am disappointed in Jowizaza for wearing face cap while receiving prayers from his inlaw during his traditional marriage
Money should not make us disrespect our elders and traditions.
Also disappointed that he wore black instead of the Igbo traditional attires.
I am happy that my brother from the south Jowizaza is getting married but sad that he disrespected his Inlaw by wearing a face cap while receiving prayers from his inlaw .
This act is considered an ins*lt in our culture, especially during significant events like marriage introduction and bride price payment.
Furthermore, Jowizaza's decision to wear black instead of traditional Igbo attire is disrespectful to our heritage.
In Igbo land, it is customary for the groom to wear traditional attire, not pure black, which is often associated with mourning.
I also question the in-law and elders present for not addressing Jowizaza's attire.
As custodians of our culture, they should have ensured that he removed his face cap and dressed appropriately before receiving prayers.
