Popular Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor has sparked widespread reactions on social media following an unconventional twist to her bridal shower held on Friday.
The film star, known for her expressive personality and vibrant roles in Nigerian cinema, recently announced her engagement to filmmaker Moc Madu. The couple is scheduled to wed on Saturday, May 31st. Ahead of the highly anticipated ceremony, Ruby hosted a pre-wedding celebration typically reserved for light-hearted fun, games, and merriment, but hers took an unexpected spiritual turn.
Rather than the usual music and party vibes associated with bridal showers, Ruby opted for a deeply religious experience. The gathering, attended by close friends and industry colleagues, transformed into a full-blown worship session, complete with prayers and what she described as divine manifestations.
Videos shared by the actress on her official Instagram page captured emotional scenes from the event, showing attendees deeply immersed in worship, with some appearing overwhelmed by spiritual fervor.
Ruby, in her post, expressed profound gratitude for the experience, describing the moment as one led entirely by the Holy Spirit. She claimed the session wasn’t planned to unfold in such a dramatic spiritual manner but evolved naturally into a platform for breakthroughs and blessings.
In a video posted on Instagram, the actress wrote:
“To be carnally minded is De@d”, But to be spiritually minded is Life eternal MY BRIDAL SHOWER” wasn’t business as usual” The whole atmosphere was fully charged by the “HOLY SPIRIT”….. I saw GOD” and HIS “HOST OF ANGELS” Came down live”
“I saw people receiving supernatural breakthroughs and Blessings from my “HEAVENLY FATHER” GOD CAN NOT BE MOCKED Thank you JESUS CHRIST” for the outpour of your blessings I AM USELESS WITHOUT YOU OH LORD JESUS WE LOVE YOU. BRIDAL SHOWER” as never seen before.”
Her approach has generated a mix of reactions across social media. While some fans commended her boldness and commitment to her faith, others questioned the decision to turn a bridal shower into what some referred to as a “church service.”
Supporters hailed the actress for making God the center of her celebration. “This is beautiful and unique. May your marriage be as spirit-filled as this bridal shower,” one Instagram user commented. Others, however, found the event unusual, with one commenter saying, “A bridal shower is supposed to be fun, but this felt more like a revival.”
Despite the divided opinions, Ruby Ojiakor stands firm in her beliefs, emphasizing that the spiritual direction of the event was spontaneous and guided by her desire to honor God ahead of her marriage.
As the wedding day approaches, many fans are eager to see whether the ceremony itself will follow in the same spiritual footsteps as her bridal shower.
