The 1st 2 legs of the nuptial ceremony, being the compulsory introduction and the traditional marriage/engagement have already held, in Lagos and Asaba, in Delta State respectively. Both event held at the tail end of last year, meaning 2019. The introduction which was at the GRA home of the bride's parent, held in November of 2019 and it was a strict family affair and then the Asaba, quite colorful 'Traditional and Engagement' ceremony was in the 3rd week of December of 2019. And many of Chike & Olufunke Ogeah's friends & family members and those of the Awosemo's too, happily graced the occasion including the current Governor of Delta State himself, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, also there was Pastor Ituah Ighodalo, who has been a friend of the bride's father since the 70s and very many others too.
Both Chike Ogeah and his adorable wife-Olufunke, left no stone unturned to host the multitudes that came to rejoice and support them. We heard that 'Starch and Banga' was aplenty as one of the delicious delicacies of the day, hmmmmmm yummy😋.
For those who might still be wondering about who Chike Ogeah is? He is the tall, handsome & quite friendly, well connected, former Commissioner for Information, under the Dr. Uduaghan's administration in Delta State then. He was a fellow Commissioner in that administration, with renowned Nigerian actor/star, 'Richard Mofe-Damijo'. Long before he was called home to come serve his home state, he had built an impressive resume for himself in his career as an administrator of good repute. First as a trained lawyer and then administrator. He was a 2 time, former Special Assistant to 2 Chief Economic Advisers to the President of the Federation. After his stint in Delta State, he later became the MD/CEO of Sahcol (Skypower Aviation Holding Company Limited), before he later became the Vice-Chairman of the same multi-billion Naira valued brand, that had first been ran aground before he took over, resuscitated it and then was later privatized profitably. The Chairman of Sahcol is none other than, philanthropic billionaire of note, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi of Sifax Holdings. In fact, Ogbueshi Chike Ogeah is the Vice-Chairman of Sifax holdings, who are also the owners of the soon to be unveiled Marriott Hotel, Ikeja GRA, Lagos, probably Nigeria's only 2nd, 5 stars hotel.
So come February 01, 2020, better written as 01/02/2020 all roads would lead to Trinity House, Zion Centre, Water Corporation Drive on the island, where the suave and handsome Pastor Ituah Ighodalo is the lead pastor. After the holy solemnization, the party would thereafter move the train to 'the Marquee' Harbour Point for what some have already tagged as 'a mother of all reception'. The wedding hashtag is #MUchLove2020.
'Uchenna Adaobi Ogeah', the delightsome bride, is the brilliant daughter of Chief Chike Ogeah. She works at Exxon Mobil as a Chemical Engineer, she in fact has a Masters degree in Engineering (Chemical Engineering for that matter) from Aston University in Birmingham, England. Her equally brilliant and handsome, a total gentleman for that matter, husband/groom, Mayowa is a graduate of Bradford University where he got his first and 2nd degree in Economics and International Relations, he currently works at FIRS (Federal Inland Revenue Service).
Both actually met through Mayowa's twin sister. The sister is a friend of Uche and one thing led to another to now.
'Mayowa Izuagbe Awosemo's' dad used to be one of the main men then in the heydays of NTA, when the Sienne Allwell-Brown, Ruth Benamasia and Co used to reign Supreme. The marriage is a unification of culture. Saturday promises to be off the hook, in all ways. As all the who-is-who are expected to grace the occasion.
More after the break.
