'April Fool' And Mofe Duncan's Engagement Announcement

When a young person gets engaged, it is usually a thing of joy and congratulatory messages would keep pouring in. It has become the fad nowadays for Nigerian celebrities to want to use the social media to announce their engagement

The likes of Ubi Franklin, Toyin Lawani, Damilola Adegbite, Gbenga Ajibade are among the celebrities who told the world of their marital journey starting with the Instagram ring-announcement. These celebrities would flaunt their studded rings with different loved up messages and promises of staying together forever.

However, in as much it is not out of place to declare one's love to e partner, It brings to mind the reasons for such actions. What happened to the traditional announcement with word of mouth?
The social media is now known for peddling rumours and making the followers believe almost the impossible. The likes of Eniola Badmus, 'Gbogbo Bigz Gehz' flaunted an engagement ring finger and many were happy for her. However, reports filtered that it was the prop for a movie scene! What does she take her beloved audience for.
Moet Abebe is another celebrity who displayed an engaged ring finger sometime ago and everyone was the happier. Like Eniola Badmus, there are alleged reports that she is not engaged and she is finding it hard to remove the ring because she fears public backlash.

Mofe Duncan has joined the wagon when his girlfriend shared a picture of both of them holding hand with her engagement hand spotting the ring. The promise of living happily ever after is also said alongside the picture.
Like every one would think, hope this is not another 'April Fool's prank on us.
