Nigerian security boss Nuhu Ribadu and a bunch of state governors told people at a Kaduna wedding that the country needs to stop beefing over tribal and religious stuff if anyone wants actual progress. The event happened when Northern CAN chairman Joseph John Hayab married off his daughter Josephine to Shadrach Ojima-Ojo, and leaders like Benue Governor Hyacinth Alia, plus Gombe Governor Inuwa Yahaya, showed up to preach unity through the ceremony.

Hayab pushed parents to let their kids marry across ethnic and faith lines because he thinks mixed marriages actually break down the barriers, causing national dysfunction. The guy hits 30 years of marriage himself in a couple of days, and he said households that embrace diversity contribute more to stability than ones that stay tribally isolated.

Governors at the reception kept hammering home that broken families feed into broader societal problems, and they told the newlyweds to build their relationship on patience instead of just wedding day hype.
