PATIENCE JONATHAN & BOLA SHAGAYA 2 PEAS IN A POD

Patience Jonathan and Bola Shagaya

What can keep these bosom friends away from each other? Is it APC or the present government or what?

We are of the opinion that nothing whatsoever can part these 2. They are so in sync and intertwined that their friendship should last for eternity.

Seen​ here at the biggest wedding of the season both looking stunning, hosted by the Babangida's, a family that HAJIA Bola Shagaya, the billionaire lady from Ilorin, Kwara State is very close to and our delicious ex-first lady, the inimitable Dame Patience Jonathan.

Unlike now where the current first lady has not entertained us in anyway or manner, Patience Jonathan ad our 1st lady, was constantly and consistently hilarious, Chai!!!!!!!

She looks super good though and shining.  

IF LOOKS COULD KILL! WHAT WAS TURAI ANGRY ABOUT?

Most often times body language or looks on the face can translate or transmit whatever is going on in the inner recess of one's heart without one saying any word whatsoever. Looks they say, says a million things.

So just imagine the face of the former first lady above, in the person of Hajia Turai YarAdua, the wife of the late President Umaru YarAdua. Just looking at the face as she sat with Justice Fati Abdulsalam and Dame Patience Jonathan other former first ladies, just evokes in the mind a very distorted mask. It's like she's disgusted with something or somethings and she can't just wait for it to finish so she can just get out.  Why the look? what's going on?

Hope all is alright though?

ALL THE EXCITING DETAILS OF HALIMA AND AUWAL ABDULAHI'S WEDDING

Husband and wife

Justice Fati, couple and Amina Sambo

Gorgeous bride

Husband and wife

It was like a political jamboree yesterday when the Babangida's hosted the world at their home as HALIMA got wedded to Alhaji Auwal Lawal ABDULAHI, the top notch businessman from Gombe State, who is the Sarkin Sudan Gombe.

Many people who came obviously came to show political alignments and to pass subtle political messages. Imagine that the former President of Nigeria, his excellency, Dr. Goodluck Azikwe Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, came with a high powered entourage that included Dame Peace Jonathan, his lovely wife and many PDP top shots and retired military big wigs, made up of many former Governors etc.

It was an opportunity  to make some subtle statement and people who understood subtle undertones got the message. Imagine that an unprecedented numbers of  aircraft landed in Minna for this wedding, speculated to be at least about 30 plus.

In attendance were such bigwigs like former military leader General AbdulSalam Abubakar, national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governors Abdulahi Ganduje of Kano,  Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara, Aminu  Tambuwal of Sokoto, Senate President, Bukola Sarkin, former Vice President, Namadi Sambo, Hajia Turai YarAdua, Justice Fati Abubakar, Amina Sambo, Retired Air Vice Marshall Hamza Abdullahi, Senator Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara was also present, Ismaila Funtua, Bola Shagaya, Folorunsho Alakija, Aliko Dangote, Tony Elumelu, Mansur Dan-Ali, Senator Ben Obi, Dino Melaye, Dr Okwezili Nwodo, Abubakar Bwari, Nasir El-Rufai, Ahned AbdulFatai Joseph Anenih,, Ahmed Yayale and very many others too numerous to mention.

Alhaji Auwal Lawal Abdullahi as was expected paid the bride price of  N500,000 and 10 cows to his father-in-law, retired General IBB. Retired General Garba Wushishi performed the symbolic ceremony of handing over the bride over, while the Governor of Gombe, Alhaji Ibrahim Dankwanbo, received the bride on behalf of the groom.

Special prayers was offered by Sheikh Kabiru Gombe for the new couple.

Olori WuraOla Ogunwusi

Aisha, mother of the day

Amina Sambo

Bola Shagaya

Folorunsho Alakija

Mother's night was ably hosted by Aisha.

The Wolima and Kamu went well.

Villages were built as part of the ceremony.

There was all types of music and good etc.

Ibidun Ighodalo is one of those helping to package a super first class event.

Minna the capital of Niger State is currently agog as the Eagles are converging there presently, those who couldn't land yesterday are already landing this morning. Seen during some parts of the ceremonies last night entering early this morning were the likes of Folorunsho Alakija, Bola Shagaya, Abike Dabiri, Namadi Sambo's wife, Amina Sambo, the Ooni of Ife's wife Olori WuraOla Ogunwusi, Abah Folawiyo and Halti Ali Modu Sheriff, just to mention a few.  

For the super liquid ones, they would be shuttling from wherever that is their bases to Minna and Lagos, as they must be seen at 2 spots, the Babangida's wedding and that of Obasanjo/Adebutu. 

Last night the ceremony began towards the wedding Fatiha between IBB's last born daughter from his late wife Maryam Babangida, by name Halimat to top notch business man, Auwal Lawal Abdullahi. Like already known, 30 plus years old Halima would be entering her husband​'s home as the 3rd wife. 

As expected with Northern Nigerian weddings, it was steeped in their culture and tradition. It was an undeniably colourful cultural night also known as the Mother's night, and it took place with the Kamu and Wolima. It's a tradition that's expected where the bride would be fawned on and celebrated by her peers and other female members of the family. While the Wolima is more of plenty of prayers. The mother's night was hosted by IBB's eldest daughter Aisha, who perfectly represented her mother, the late Maryam Babangida.
