Mixed reactions have trailed a photo of an Igbo man who married his foreign lover at the Ikoyi Marriage Registry in Lagos.

This follows the recent controversial tweet of one Mazi Uchenna Odu who advised his fellow Igbo men to avoid court weddings at all cost.

He gave this advice in the light of Nigerian businesswoman May Edochie, who recently initiated divorce proceedings against her husband, actor Yul Edochie. She also filed a restraining order to bar him from entering their matrimonial home.

The tweet quickly went viral online and sparked massive criticisms from netizens.

Well, days after the viral tweet, another Twitter user took to the microblogging to praise an Igbo man for marrying a foreign woman at the Ikoyi wedding registry.

He described the man as ‘hardworking’, and hailed him for securing a good future for himself.

“Ndu nwoke esika.. Okwanu ka umuazi weelu lie nri.. Nwee ezigbote future.. Nwoke na agba mbo nobi small… Chukwu zoba anyi,” he wrote in Igbo.

The post didn’t sit well with many and they accused Igbo men of having double standards, while referencing Uchenna’s aversion to court weddings.

Now, it’s a yt woman, everyone understands, because green card has to be secured.
In everything males do, it must be to their benefit.
Women learn that.”

@ducchess_mabound wrote, “Igbo men will only do court wedding when they are marrying a white/rich woman. Anything else, count them out.”

@nnukwumama wrote, “When men do immoral things, it’s always done under the pretension that they are doing it for some noble cause like “providing” instead of the fact that they are greedy users with no morals. Clowns.”

@datcxx wrote, “Men project a lot. All their flaws, their sins, their fears & their weaknesses- they project onto women.
To men, this is “hustling” until a woman does same, then they brush up their vocab & call it exactly what it is. You people are crude, wicked & very cruel to women. HML 💀”
