Friday, June 13, 2025 - Popular Nigerian comic actor Bishop Umoh, also known as Okon Lagos, has weighed in on the trending wave of young Nigerian men marrying significantly older women from the diaspora and as expected, he delivered his opinion with premium humor and sarcasm!
In a new video that’s now making rounds online, the veteran
actor jokingly “prophesied” long life and good health for all
the older women being flown into Nigeria for marriage by young men chasing
passports and prosperity.
“You see all
this trend… these are our young young boys, I understand economy no good. But
to go and bring ancestress to Ikoyi Registry?” he said, with his
signature dramatic tone.
Bishop Umoh didn’t stop there. He hilariously “blessed” the
older women, declaring that they will not die, and will instead live long
enough to declare the works of the Lord, not in their own generation, but in
their young husbands’ generation.
“If I be a
man of God… those women you bring, may long life and prosperity follow them.
Nothing will happen to them o! If anybody must go, well… your guess is as good
as mine,” he added.
The comic star’s video is a clear jab at what many believe
is an open secret that some of these young men are marrying for papers, not
passion, hoping the older spouse will pass away soon and leave them with
residency and inheritance.
But Bishop Umoh isn’t having it. According to him, the plan
won’t work.
“You think
after 1 or 2 years, then goodbye? Nothing will happen to them. They will stay.
They will live. They will live to frustrate your plans. Na you go tire,” he
teased.
Nigerians online are cracking up at the video, with many
hailing Bishop for his “prophetic comedy”
