Nigerian groom caught watching his football idol during his traditional wedding

A Nigerian man has gone viral for prioritising football over tradition — quite literally.

In a now-trending clip making rounds on social media, the groom was spotted fully concentrated on his phone during his own traditional wedding ceremony… and no, he wasn’t replying urgent messages or checking his vows.

He was watching Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami game.

While guests and family members were engaged in the vibrant festivities, the groom appeared visibly locked into the live match on his phone, completely immersed in the world of football.

Some background drummers played on. People were smiling. Culture was unfolding. But this groom? He was on the pitch with Messi — mentally.

Public reaction to the video has been mixed, with some finding it hilarious and others calling it out as disrespectful.
