Alaga Ijoko slaps bride on wedding day


At Ilase Osun State, the engagement started and you know how these Alaga’s like to sing plenty songs, waste time and collect money. Anyway, few moments later, the bride danced in, sat beside her groom then the alaga asked the bride “Who is sitting beside you?” The bride said “Tope” . Gbua!!! The Alaga slapped her. “He is now your husband don’t call him by his name anymore. Call him Oko mii or you use Sir for him. He is no more your boyfriend”. Sadly with tears the bride corrected herself. The most annoying part of all the whole thing was, the bride’s family supported just to show the grooms family that they are disciplined. I really didn’t understand the alaga… for a moment I thought could she be temperamental? Could she be a close family friend? Even if she’s a close family friend… At that moment, the bride is her client… what right could she have to the extent of slapping her client? So I ask you…If you were the bride, what would be your reaction? If you were the groom, how would you have reacted?
