The video's caption emphasised the possibility of overcoming geographical barriers, stating that the couple's presence in Nigeria was unnecessary if all arrangements were in place.
"Family begging from Nigeria. Groom begging from abroad. When I tell you distance is never a barrier. Both husband and wife are not in Nigeria, there’s no need of coming down to Naija if all things are in place," the video's caption read.
