Millions of Nigerians watched with admiration and awe on satellite television channels as Prince William and Kate Middleton were pronounced man and wife a while ago in London at the Westminster Abbey.
The couple was bestowed with the highly-esteemed titles of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge by William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to mark the prince's marriage.
The prince also took the titles Earl of Strathearn and Baron Carrickfergus, linking him to Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The spectacular royal union of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reminded Nigerians of the similar wedding of Charles and Diana, the Prince and Princess of Wales.
As tens of thousands of people gathered to witness the public royal kiss of the couple, millions of Nigerians glued to their television sets watched with admiration the splendour of royalty, just as Monarchy sparkles in the face of the world.
The highly elated Prince William and Kate Middleton kissed twice on the balcony of Buckingham Palace after their wedding service in Westminster Abbey amid ear-splitting cheers of innumerable number of watchers.
At bars, banks, offices and homes across Nigeria, the discussions centered on the glamour and beauty of the global celebration.
Some Nigerians centered their arguments on whether or not a man should marry a woman who is older than him, arguing that the royal wedding is a lesson for some Nigerian men who would not marry women who are older than them.
It might interest you to know that Kate Middleton was a year older than Prince William before the two lovers tied the knot in a royal wedding broadcasted live across the globe to about two billion viewers and streamed on the internet like never before.
