A Fulani bride was attacked on her wedding day, by another female who is said to be the first wife of the groom.
In a viral video, a bride who was fully adorned for her big day in the Fulani bridal regalia, walked gracefully but reluctantly towards a group of women who were seated.
To the shock of everyone, one of the women seated (the supposed first wife) pounced on the bride and gave her a good beating.

This caused screams to erupt from various parts of the hall as many people who witnessed the turn of events tried to restrain the obviously raging woman.
The Fulani tribe consists of a group of people; predominantly Muslims, who are scattered in Nigeria and in other neighboring African countries.
The “netizens” court convenes
The Fulani culture permits a man to marry more than one wife if he wishes. As a way of showing respect for the older wife, the new wife was to go and greet the older wife or wives, and have them welcome her into the family.
Maximizing this opportunity, the very displeased first wife came at her new counterpart with punches and kicks.
Musa: “Haha. The boxing competition done start oo.Dear parents, we should emphasise teaching our daughters how to cope with a polygamous relationship.”
PeterObisEgyptianFlight: “I have an innocent question though. Does it mean the man can take a new bride even if the wife doesn’t agree? Cause this looks like she has been against the union from the onset”
LATOM: “Saw someone saying they are friends fa! If it’s true, not a single soul on this app can understand the pain she felt and is feeling. I am not saying she is right but u can’t dictate how a person reacts. We all are different and so is our tolerance level.”
