A recent whirlwind romance has taken Nollywood by storm as actress Ruby Ojiakor tied the knot with her colleague Moc Madu, also known as Onwa Idemili, just days after his proposal. The couple held their traditional marriage ceremony in Amarak, Isi-Ala Mbano, Imo State, with numerous videos circulating online capturing the festivities.
The rapid pace of their union and Ruby’s exuberant dance moves during the celebrations have stirred up a mix of reactions on social media. While some well-wishers cheered the couple on, others raised eyebrows at the speed of events, Ruby’s enthusiastic dancing, and the absence of certain Nollywood personalities at the event.
Criticism mounted as videos of Ruby’s lively dance moves circulated, with some deeming her actions as overly exuberant for a bride. In one instance, she kicked off her shoes, handed her purse to someone, and energetically danced around her husband before kneeling to ‘fan’ him, drawing both praise and scrutiny.
Additionally, Ruby’s attire and dance moves, which nearly led to a wardrobe malfunction, fueled further discussions online. The noticeable absence of prominent figures like Destiny Etiko and Zubby Michael, close friends of Ruby, at the ceremony also raised questions, with speculations suggesting that the actress may have married beneath her status.
In response, the groom’s sister, Blessing Nkem, defended her brother in a social media video, refuting claims that Ruby financed the wedding and asserting that Madu is financially independent and genuinely in love with his wife.
Regarding the absence of Nollywood stars at the event, actress Evan Okoro clarified in a TikTok video that the couple had not extended invitations to their colleagues but assured that they would be included in the upcoming church wedding.
Despite the swirling controversies, Ruby has chosen to remain silent, instead sharing images of her warm reception by her husband’s family on social media. As anticipation grows over her official wedding gown pictures, fans and critics alike eagerly await her next public appearance or announcement.
