Prominent Lagos Family Rejects Son's Union with Actress Wofai Ewa



Taiwo and Wofai-Punc


The renowned Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, has disavowed the recent alleged marriage of their son, Taiwo, to the actress and comedian Wofai Ewa, in a traditional ceremony in Ugep, Cross River State. 


In a statement that has since gone viral, the family patriarch, Kunle Cole, declared that the family was 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. 


The family further emphasized, "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." Punch


The rejection follows the circulation of images and videos showing Taiwo participating in what appeared to be a traditional marriage rite with Ewa, who hails from Ugep in Cross River State. 


Wofai Ewa, a chef, actress, and comedian with over a million followers on Instagram, and Taiwo took to their social media pages on Saturday to share marriage photos. One of Wofai's posts read, "I found my happily ever after, and I said yes !! Chai !! Love is sweet o. Thank you guys for all the love and messages." Punch

This incident highlights the importance of family approval and cultural traditions in Nigerian society, where the union of two individuals is often seen as a joining of two families. The Cole family's rejection of the purported marriage suggests a potential clash between personal desires and familial expectations.
