Nigerian comedian I Go Save has weighed in on the marital crisis involving former Big Brother Naija contestant Angel Smith, whose same-sex marriage has ended in controversy just days after the ceremony. Reports indicate that Angel Smith married Tumininu in the United States less than two weeks ago. However, the union quickly unraveled when Tumininu accused Angel of infidelity, claiming she had been unfaithful with another woman she met on a dating app.
The allegations have sparked widespread public debate, with some Nigerians directing criticism toward Angel’s mother for permitting her daughter to enter into a same-sex marriage. In response, I Go Save took to his Instagram story to offer a tongue-in-cheek reflection on the situation, commending men for their patience in marriage. He wrote, “Men are really trying when it comes to marriage matters! A woman got married to another woman, and the marriage didn’t even last 70 hours. She couldn’t handle what the other woman was doing.”
The comedian’s remarks have elicited mixed reactions online. While some interpret his comments as a humorous take on the brief union, others view them as reinforcing gender stereotypes. The controversy surrounding Angel’s marriage continues to generate discussion on social media, highlighting ongoing debates about LGBTQ+ relationships in Nigeria, where same-sex unions remain illegal and socially contentious.
Angel Smith, who gained fame through her appearance on Big Brother Naija, has not publicly responded to the allegations or the ensuing backlash. This incident underscores the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Nigeria, where societal and legal pressures often lead to intense scrutiny and criticism.
