The internet fears no one as trolls bash Williams Uchemba over wedding video
Instagram comedian and youth ambassador, Williams Uchemba comes under heat for disposing of the wine that was given to him by his in-laws in accordance to the Igbo traditional rites. Shortly after his marital rites, trolls bash Williams Uchemba for supposedly disregarding tradition.
The actor started his marriage rites with the love of his life, Brunella last week. It started with their traditional marriage popularly known as ‘Igba Nkwu’ in the Igbo culture. It was this ceremony that brought the current traditional backlash he is suffering.
In a video clip shared by a colleague, AY comedian, Williams threw the palm wine offered to him by his wife’s family for undisclosed reasons.
The freshly tapped palm wine is extended to the groom as an open arm of welcome into the family and by drinking it, the groom shows that he indeed wants to be a part of the bride’s family.
However, despite being smitten by his wife, Williams disposed of the palm wine which no one at the venue seemed to have an issue with.
However, when his friend and fellow comedian, AY shared the wedding video, trolls came for Williams asking why he didn’t drink the wine and calling him disrespectful for it while other came to his defence giving reasons why it was safer to not drink it these days.
Here are some of the reactions;
