Kunle Remi Weds Femi Otedola’s Niece: X Users Throw Shade Like Wedding Confetti
In a plot twist worthy of a Nollywood blockbuster, actor Kunle Remi has tied the knot with Boluwatiwi, niece of Nigerian business titan Femi Otedola. While some celebrate the union, the Nigerian Twitterverse has spontaneously combusted into a volcanic eruption of side-eye emojis and hilarious takes.
The news broke faster than Usain Bolt on Red Bull, with congratulations initially tinged with confusion. “Kunle Remi and Otedola’s niece?” one user tweeted, echoing the sentiment of a nation momentarily baffled. Soon, the confusion melted into unbridled amusement.
Memes proliferated faster than mosquitoes in Lagos rainy season. One depicted Remi as a chess player, checkmating his way to Otedola’s fortune. Another showed him sprinting with the caption, “When you hear Femi Otedola’s giving out inheritance.” Even Uncle Agbaya, the internet’s favorite mischievous grandpa, got in on the act, advising young girls to “find their billionaire uncle.”
Amidst the laughter, whispers of “gold digger” and “opportunist” emerged. But many dismissed the negativity, arguing that love knows no financial boundaries. “If Kunle truly loves her, who are we to judge?” one user questioned, earning a chorus of “Amen”s and heart emojis.
The jury’s still out on whether this is a match made in heaven or a strategic alliance in high heels. But one thing’s for sure: Nigerian Twitter has found its new favorite pastime – roasting Kunle Remi with the precision of a Michelin-starred chef.
Here are some of the funniest tweets:

Before, they said Kunle Remi didn't choose well because the girl was not as fine as him. Now that they know she is related to Otedola, the story has changed. Social media is a curse sometimes. Nonsense is doing everyone

Anyone who doesn't like TIWI KUNLE-REMI is filled with envy and jealousy.
