Popular Nollywood Actress, Wofai Fada on Monday declared that the union between her and her groom, Taiwo Cole shall be permanent.

In a Monday post via her Instagram handle, the excited bride shared more traditional photos of herself and her newly wedded husband, Taiwo, a son of the prominent Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos.

She captioned the post: “The Bride, and groom @taiwo.cole.7. And our joy shall be permanent. Thanks to my team.”

The union announcement over the weekend has caused much controversy as there has been conflict between Wofai Fada and the Cole family. 

While Taiwo and his bride have decided to knot ties, Cole’s family says they are unaware of any union and did not grant permission.

On Sunday, the Cole family denounced the marriage in a statement issued by the family patriarch, Kunle Cole, which went viral, the family dissociated themselves from the union, saying they were unaware of the marriage plans and did not grant consent or support.

“This serves to notify all acquaintances, family and friends that the Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, are not aware of any marriage ceremony of our son, Taiwo Olakitan Cole; neither did we grant permission nor support in this regard,” the statement read.

It continued, “As such, person(s) parading themselves as new members of the Cole heritage by virtue of this purported event, are not known nor accepted by the family. All publications and documents being circulated about this are to be disregarded.”

The controversies have sparked various reactions from social media users. While some back the family, some believe the union should stand regardless of the family’s thoughts.
