Video Captures Pastor Requesting Nigerian Bride to Remove Eyelashes or Risk Wedding, Sparks Discussion

Nigerian Pastor Halts Wedding, Demands Bride Remove Eyelashes or Risk Cancelation; TikTok Video Sparks Debate

In a surprising turn of events during a wedding ceremony, a Nigerian pastor insisted that the bride remove her eyelashes, threatening to halt the union if she didn’t comply. Taken aback, the bride promptly followed the pastor’s instruction and had her lashes removed on the spot.

The bride later shared the incident on TikTok, disclosing that the pastor had raised concerns about her eyelashes before the wedding. However, she had forgotten about it and hoped it would be overlooked on the big day. A video posted by @thisisjessicaokah captured the moment when the pastor stopped the church wedding due to the issue with the bride’s eyelashes.

This incident stirred mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some expressing disapproval of the pastor’s actions. In a similar occurrence, a Deeper Life church pastor reportedly instructed his daughter to remove her makeup on her wedding day, further fueling the debate surrounding such practices within religious ceremonies.
