Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor has sparked a heated debate online after videos from her recent bridal shower, which she transformed into a spiritual worship session, went viral. The event, held ahead of her wedding to filmmaker Moc Madu, deviated from the usual bridal shower festivities and instead featured intense prayers, worship, and testimonies of spiritual breakthroughs.
Ruby, who has been open about her faith, shared clips from the gathering on Instagram, writing:
“To be carnally minded is De@d, but to be spiritually minded is Life eternal. MY BRIDAL SHOWER wasn’t business as usual. The whole atmosphere was fully charged by the HOLY SPIRIT. I saw GOD and HIS HOST OF ANGELS came down live. I saw people receiving supernatural breakthroughs and blessings from my HEAVENLY FATHER. GOD CAN NOT BE MOCKED. Thank you JESUS CHRIST for the outpour of your blessings. I AM USELESS WITHOUT YOU OH LORD JESUS WE LOVE YOU. BRIDAL SHOWER as never seen before.”
Her unconventional approach drew mixed reactions from fans and social media users. Some praised her for putting God first and making her faith the foundation of her marriage:
- @mrs_blord: “I love how you love God, union where the foundation stone will never fail.”
- @roxyantak: “May Almighty God be with this couple.”
- @empressprowei: “When it reaches my turn, I will roll on the floor, na only she know wetin she don see. God bless her marriage.”
Others, however, questioned the dramatic nature of the event and advised Ruby to keep her marriage more private:
- @skinbyomalicha: “Na only she know wetin her eye don see.”
- @prettyriri853: “Sometimes too much of everything is bad.”
- @afam_bu_chinonso: “Go marry, keep your marriage too off social media, happy married life dear.”
- @Bennycharles_apparel: “Your drama too much mama.”
Some comments were outright skeptical or critical, with one user remarking, “The guy go still cheat on am,” while others wondered why she threw away her ring and crown during the session.
Despite the divided opinions, Ruby stood by her choices, urging critics to speak now or forever hold their peace, declaring, “What is joined together cannot be separated.”
The actress and Moc Madu tied the knot in her hometown, with another viral moment showing Ruby removing her heels and kneeling to honor her husband, whom she called “Odogwu.”
Ruby Ojiakor’s faith-filled bridal shower has certainly left Nigerians talking, highlighting the intersection of celebrity culture, faith, and social media in modern Nigerian society.
