THE SHEER SPECTACLE OF ADANNA & CHIMAOBI ANYANSO'S TRADITIONAL WEDDING IN OGUTA

CHIMAOBI & ADANNA ANYANSO


CHIMA FLANKED BY ADANNA'S MOM TO THE LEFT & HIS OWN MOM TO THE RIGHT

Landing in Owerri, the capital of Imo State at the Sam Mbakwe Airport, which is currently undergoing renovation, you already know that something major was upcoming that weekend.  As flights were landing from Lagos & Abuja, on board were many upwardly mobile men & gorgeous ladies. And as you ask them where everyone was going, the reply all gave was they were in for Adanna & Chima's wedding set for Oguta, the day after, which was Saturday, June 15, 2013. 


CONCLUSION & MORE PICTURES AFTER THE BREAK. PLS CLICK ON READ MORE BELOW

 


Just as soon as you land at the airport and you could be identified, there were several air-conditioned buses waiting to pick up the guests, to transport them straight to their hotels in Owerri. It's either you were lodged at Rockview Hotel, which is by Okigwe round-about, just opposite Douglas House, which is the name of the Government House in Imo State or you are at All Season's Hotel not too far away. Getting to any of these hotels, you are met by a large number of people sorting out their accommodation for the next 2 days, from the what you could see, loads and loads of Chima's friend had arrived town to give him unprecedented support. 

One thing common on everyone's lips was that Chima is a great guy, worthy of any kind of support, so they had come to give great moral and financial support as much as they could muster.  We saw Innocent 'Tuface ' Idibia & his wife Annie arriving, around the same time Uti Nwachukwu and a couple of others arrived. 


After checking in, everyone went to their different rooms to rest for the next day. Although many went to the humongous pre-wedding shindig held for the groom, we couldn't attend because we needed to rest.

The journey to the Oguta home of the bride's dad, Chief Senator Francis Arthur Nzeribe the next day began at about 1pm, Oguta from Owerri was just about 40 minutes away. So the groom and many of his friend numbering about 50, had all converged at the lobby of the Rockview Hotel. Following a signal, everyone entered into their various cars, trucks & buses and the intimidating convoy headed to Oguta. 

Arriving the Haven of Peace home of the great Ogbuagu, Oshiji, Demanze Oyimba of Oguta, you are met with a seemingly endless compound ahead of you, that is well guarded by gun-toting soldiers in battle camouflages. There's a little bridge above a small river, that takes a car at a go, just before you turn into Senator Nzeribe's 1st gate. You drive in for less than 2 minutes and then, there's another gate that leads inside the compound and right ahead of you,  you see a massive house surrounded by a cluster of other buildings to the right and to the left. We hear chief's house is manned by over 60 workers making sure all things are working seamlessly without interruptions. The rich sure lives very big.


The sheer number of guests, family members and onlookers we saw inside the compound was unbelievable.  From our findings, Chief Nzeribe must have arranged for close to 5000 guests. It was like a jamboree, friends of Chima in sea of white, friends of Adanna in gold, many looking outrageously gorgeous, friends of the parents, family members, traditional dancers/musicians etc were all around. 

Some of those we saw were Former Senate President, Senator Adolphus Ndaneweh Wabara, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, current Deputy Speaker, Federal House of Representatives, Honourable Emeka Ihedioha, Senator Ifeanyi Godwin Araraume & wife, Senator Eyinaya Abaribe & wife, Prof. Maurice Iwu,  Senator Hope Uzodinma, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Hon Jones Onyerire, Chief Newton Okaro, Hon. Gerald Irona, Hon. Bethel Amadi, Major General (rtd)Lawrence Onoja, Hon. Chuma Nzeribe, Azuh Chukka  & Awele Francis, Ngozi Nkoloenyi, Adaobi Nwakuche and very many others. 


The Naira rain that came down on the couple when they were called to dance was out of this world, many had to beg friends of the groom to stop, because it was utterly intimidating, the ground was filled with a mixture of all the different denominations of Naira and Dollar bills, with the villagers looking on awestricken. As expected at occasions of this caliber, there was over abundance of food & drinks and every one had their fill to a very large extent. To show that even the heavens was in support of the whole proceedings, there was a light shower of rain. In spite of the rain, majority of the guests still stayed, with the deejay playing hits after hits to the delight of all. 

It was after all the merry making at Oguta that same evening that friends and family members of the new husband & his adorable new wife moved on to Igbere, the husband's village, which is about 2 hours drive from Oguta for the mother of all after party. Those who attended, said it was an awesome party with over-abundance of everything all over again. Apart from the deejay who rocked the house to it's foundation, KCEE of the Limpopo fame also serenaded the couple.


Come August 10, 2013 which is about 50 days away. The white wedding will be holding at the Essex, London home of the father of the bride. And MM would be on ground to bring that to you all exclusively.

Am I the only one who hasn't seen chidi mokeme with his wife since they got married?

How is that his neice? She looks like a 40 year old mother of 3 that needs some rest and too much makeup. Wish them well in the wedding

Anonymous said...

Anon 4:23AM it is very possible that she is his neice. I am 36 years old and have an uncle who is just about 40years old. My mother is the first of all her siblings, she got married and had me when my uncle was just a toddler. When you see us you may say the same thing.
I heard that Chima is an only son so it is very possible that his sisters are far older than he is.
