"My Pastor Ask Me to remove my Eyelashes at Middle of my Wedding" Lady asked What will you do?

-
In a recent incident that has sparked discussions on social media, a Nigerian bride, Jessica Okah, shared her experience of being asked to remove her eyelashes by her pastor during her church wedding ceremony.
According to Punch, the incident, which Jessica recounted on TikTok, has raised questions about the imposition of personal beliefs and aesthetics in religious ceremonies.

Jessica revealed that the pastor had previously mentioned his objection to her wearing eyelashes before her wedding day.

Despite this early warning, Jessica admitted to having forgotten about the pastor’s request and assumed it would not be an issue on her big day.


However, to her surprise, the matter was brought up again right before the ceremony was due to commence.

She said, “What would you do if your pastor asked you to remove your lashes in the middle of your wedding ceremony? It was like a movie, but it was happening for real.


“After my husband’s family accepted me, that’s when my pastor realised that he told me the day before that I wasn’t supposed to wear lashes to the wedding ceremony.

“Let me not lie, I didn’t have a problem with it anyway, but truthfully, I forgot.

“He said before the service had to continue, I had to go and remove the lashes.”

Have you noticed how Nigerian families now step out in style, twinning in matching outfits? At weddings, birthdays, or even church services, parents and children in identical attire have become the new showstoppers. This isn’t just fashion it’s a movement. As I, often say, Mini Me fashion is not only about clothing, but also about storytelling. It speaks of family unity, cultural pride, and social identity, all stitched together with creativity.  From Aso Ebi to Mini Me Our Nigerian tradition of Aso Ebi has always celebrated togetherness through clothing. Mini Me fashion is simply an evolution bringing that cultural uniformity into the heart of the family. Parents mirror their children’s style, turning every appearance into a statement of love and connection.  Social Media & The Boom Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook are packed with Nigerian families twinning in Ankara, lace, or even casual denim looks. Matching outfits are now “content gold.” As a blogger and visual...

As a parent, there will be times when your child asks for something you simply can't provide. How you handle these requests can shape their understanding of value, patience, and financial responsibility. Here’s a realistic approach to managing such situations with care and clarity. 1. Be Honest but Gentle Honesty is essential, but it should be communicated with sensitivity. If you don’t have the item or resource your child is asking for, it’s important to be clear without making them feel their request is a burden. For example, you might say, “We don’t have that right now,” rather than simply “I don’t have.” This helps convey that the issue is about availability, not a lack of willingness to provide. 2. Explain the Situation Offering a brief explanation can help your child understand why their request cannot be met immediately. For instance, if the item is expensive or not readily available, you could say, “We don’t have that right now because we need to sav...
