Breaking off engagements, calling off weddings: does timing matter?

A popular Nigerian doctor on X @OurFavOnlineDoc has said any woman who calls off her wedding days to the ceremony is a “narcissist and demonic human being”.

‘’If you know you never loved someone and can never really love them, but you say yes to their proposal, you accept their engagement ring, you let them pay for wedding hall, you let them pay for comedian and MC, you let the families pick asoebi, you let them pay for wedding gown, then few weeks to the wedding, you call off the wedding to tell them you never loved them and you are marrying “for the wrong reasons,” you are a narcissistic and demonic human being,” he posted.

This follows the disclosure of media personality, Ife, who said she called off her wedding two months before the ceremony.

As an offshoot of this, breaking off engagements and calling off weddings was discussed on Nigeria Info’s Sunny Side, where callers shared their unfiltered opinions. The conversation served as a reminder of the complexity of these personal choices and the need for empathy and understanding in navigating them.

For the first caller, personal safety, mental health, and well-being are very important, stating that staying in an abusive marriage is not the best.

Another caller describes failing to show up for an engagement as an act of "witchcraft." 

A third caller believes calling off a wedding is not ordinary, suggesting that such actions often stem from extraordinary or “spiritual” circumstances.
