Nollywood actor Shawn Faqua and his bride, Sharon Ifunanya Maduekwe have made history.
The duo made history by becoming first Nigerian couple to wed on a train in Nigeria.
The incident happened on Sunday along the Lagos-Ibadan Standard Gauge Railway.
The couple also transformed the train coach at the Mobolaji Johnson Train Station into a beautifully adorned venue on wheels.
Departing from the Alagomeji-Yaba Station in Lagos, the train carried the couple, their guests, and their love story across the tracks—both literally and symbolically.
Viral videos from the day show the bridal party hurrying to board the train, adding a spontaneous and adventurous spirit to an already remarkable occasion.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) embraced the moment, commending the couple for their creativity and the unique way they showcased the nation’s modern transport system.
“From lovebirds to locomotives, we’re keeping things on track,” the NRC posted. “History made the first-ever wedding on a moving train in Nigeria. Proof that the journey can be just as beautiful as the destination.”
Beyond romance, the Faquas’ union served as a celebration of innovation and modernity, sparking admiration across social media for its blend of love, artistry, and national pride.
The historic event marks a new chapter in how Nigerian couples express creativity in their celebrations—an unforgettable fusion of love, imagination, and progress, rolling through the heart of the nation, one track at a time.
