Reason Dominican lady wants to be Nigerian
According to the lady, she badly wants to be Nigerian because of her love for how Nigerian weddings are conducted.
In a video posted on TikTok, she marvelled at the glamour, display of wealth, and the spraying of money that characterises weddings of rich or well-to-do Nigerians. She subtly shaded her country while speaking highly of Nigerian weddings.
Her words partly read:
“…I want to be Nigerian. Like, do I just gat to be blood or like get blessed in? The only reason why I am saying this is ’cause I wanna have a Nigerian wedding.
Nigerian weddings are so fire. Like, can someone invite me to a Nigerian wedding? I just wanna go. Like, I just wanna be in the room, you know what I am saying, Like, I just wanna be blessed into being a Nigerian…”

“My dear, you need to first make a distinction between what’s a Nigerian wedding or the ethnicity of the wedding? You need to choose which of the ethnicities you want to associate with. A Yoruba wedding is what you’re probably talking about, and Yorubas are not limited to Nigeria.”
