Ekene Umenwa, the Nigerian actress, has caused a lot of buzz on social media following her reaction after Moses Bliss, the gospel singer, arrived to perform at her wedding reception.
Umenwa tied the knot with Ifeanyi Ogbodo Alex, the movie producer, on Saturday.
In now-viral footage, the film star was dancing with her groom when Bliss showed up and began to deliver a surprise performance.
Upon sighting Bliss at the wedding reception, Umenwa, who could not contain her excitement, left her husband and rushed to the gospel singer.
The actress thereafter fell to her knees before Bliss and hugged him — after which Alex claimed her back.
The video has continued to spark controversy on social media platforms.
While some users criticised Umenwa for “outrightly disrespecting” her husband, others argued that she was simply “overjoyed” by Bliss’ presence at the reception.
“People should please stop saying NONSENSE about actress Ekene Umenwa. Don’t scatter the home she’s starting to build,” a user said.
“She didn’t abandon her husband and follow Singer Moses Bliss She’s surprised and happy.
“Women don’t really know how to contain their emotions so, it’s understandable. Please, don’t nail her to the cross.”
“Our lord Jesus Christ that attended someone’s wedding, turned wanted into wine for people to shayo didnt get this kind of treatment from the wife. What is wrong with Actress Ekene Umenwa?” another user asked.
*This is absolutely taboo in our land. Actress Ekene umenwa ‘abandons’ her husband, goes on bended knees as singer Moses Bliss surprises her at her wedding ceremony,” a user wrote.
“This lady is not yet ready and I see she can’t sustain this marriage.”

Lol the fact that she knelt for that man is a big L seriously. A lotta women rather respect other men than their own man. They shout and nag at their man than other men outside. They obey their bosses, pastors but when it comes to their husbands they automatically draw line

The evil about this is this isn’t Godly, it isn’t being lifted in the spirit, it’s fanaticism (FC like),
ministers are not musicians even though they minister with music!
This woman isn’t lifted in the spirit she just saw a man she has fantasied about! If I was the husband…— iyke-Dave (@iykedave11) November 5, 2023
What she did was too much bro.
After the kneeling down for minutes, I think the long hug wasn't necessary.
She should have hugged her husband instead to show appreciation for the surprise.
She went too far.

Actress Ekene Umenwa's trending video of holding/hugging another man on her wedding day, ignoring her husband and witnesses will overshadow the beauty of her wedding day. It wasn't supposed to turnout that way but we are responsible for every of our actions n reactions. WISDOM.

I recommend that they both see a therapist or marriage councilor quick. Seeing that video more than once will eventually enrage the husband. Men are egotistic in nature and this must be handled with care. That’s my advise to Ekene Umenwa.
