Friday, April 27, 2018 in Abuja, the FCT was lit, as billionaire businesswoman and in-law to the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Hajia Bola Shagaya hosted family and friends to her son's traditional wedding and wedding Fatiha. The night or evening before, which was a Thursday (April 26, 2018) was an exclusive dinner for the friends and family of the couple. One of those who attended both events - (dinner and traditional wedding) in Abuja was Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's son Seyi, who was in the capital city with his family, to give his friend Kabir Shagaya the groom all the support needed. From the little information at our disposal, Seyi Tinubu was in fact one of Kabir's groomsmen.

Kabir Shagaya is one of the sons of the highly connected Hajia Bola Shagaya, while he is her 4th son, he is actually the last born between Hajia Bola Shagaya and Alhaji Shagaya, who is a transport mogul from Ilorin, in Kwara State. The last boy Tolani, who is the 5th born is a Saro.

The white wedding/wedding reception which if all the feelers we are getting is worth anything, is going to be a big humongous affair. D-date for that is Saturday, May 5, 2018 and the venue of the planned world class reception would be the Landmark Event Centre, Victoria Island extension, Lagos.

This whole wedding event comes up only after a few weeks of another wedding that was hosted by Hajia, when her 3rd born-Seun Shamsudeen, a budding pastor of the RCCG got married to the first daughter-Damilola of the Vice President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and his wife, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo. Though that particular wedding was very subdued considering the caliber of those involved, what was expected and how it went, this particular one is probably going to be much louder and a 0much grander one by all standards.

Except for Seun's wedding that was very quiet by the standards of the super rich Hajia, who has always gone to any length to give her kids the best of the best weddings. Example was when Sheriff Shagaya her 1st born got married a few years back to Maryam, one of the beautiful daughters of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, that ceremony then was said to have cost both family at least about a billion Naira then, that's (1,000,000,000,000). And that was a while back, with the mother of the groom "supposedly' gifting the then newly married couple a brand spanking new Rolls Royce 'phantom". Aso Ebi for that 2010 star studded wedding then cost 100000 (One hundred thousand Naira). That wedding then was a statement and a lesson in luxury and extravagance.

So, fast forward to several years later now when things are supposed to have even improved much much better, what are we to expect?

Kabir, in his early 30s is the founder/ MD/CEO of his own business-Zippy Logistics, which we hear is an e-commerce brand that is the backbone to some of the biggest e-commerce brands in Nigeria likes of Jumia and Konga and more. The brand from all indications is doing very well. Kabir got his Masters in Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship in Manchester. He was at a time a Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola on Climate Issues and Carbon Emission.

We actually do not have much information about his bride-Amina other than the fact that she's a beautiful lady, but we would have all of that by the next report. Meanwhile, Aso Ebis have been bought and people are already going about to make it into some super stunning style that would dazzle and entral all. So Landmark, the choice venue for some of the best events and occasions this year, here we come.

We have gotten a few pictures of the Friday event and we have also added the Pre-wedding pictures of the couple too.

Aliko Dangote welcoming PMB

We are sure, you are a bit surprised at the title of this post,  as we are already referring to the couple as a married Mr & Mrs Abubakar! That's because with yesterday's ceremony the DAURIN AURE in Kano, it meant now that they are officially now Mr & Mrs and every other thing done afterwards, are just additional to the main dish itself.

If you had taken time to read through the processes we had written about, you would have noticed that what happened yesterday in Kano was actually the most important part of the processes. The "DAURIN AURE" the wedding Fatiha/nikkai is the actually exchange of marital vows!

The representatives of the bride's family (men), led by the President of the Federal Republic, President Muhammadu Buhari, who acted as the bride's guardian and the representatives of the groom's family (men) in front of a religious leader here being His Royal Highness, the Emir of Kano, Mallam Muhammad Sanusi II, ably supported and assisted by the Chief Imam of Kano, Prof. Sani Zahradden conducted the whole affair in his palace at 11am.

The representative of the groom's family, Jamil's guardian who the bride- Fatima was handed over to, paid ₦500000 as the dowry.

You can imagine that a wedding "Fatiha/Nikkai" that a President of a country attended (he is obviously up and about in Nigeria nowadays) and even played a prominent role in, would also have in attendance many more men of timber and caliber. Some of the bigwigs seen were the likes of the 2nd wealthiest man ever on Earth, Mr. Bill Gates, Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, Speaker of the House, Honourable Yakubu Dogara, too many Governors to count likes of Ganduje, Amosun, Obaseki, El Rufai, Masari, Ajimobi and many more, the Ooni of Ife led other royal fathers, we saw the Oba of Lagos, Oba Akiolu too, so also former MD of Access Bank, Aig AIG-Imokhuede, BUA Grp Chairman Samad Isiyaku Rabiu, Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, Minister for Solid Minerals, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Minister for Power, Housing and Works, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN,  Publisher of This Day Newspaper, Prince Nduka Obaigbena, national leader of the APC Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, former Head of State, General Abdusalami Abubakar and very many others.

So now that the most important part of the wedding ceremony is now over, it's the time for the awesome, unprecedented merriment to happen and that is set for next week, Saturday March 24, 2018 as all roads would lead to the Eko Hotel Victoria Island Lagos.

JAMIL MOHAMMED WEDS FATIMA CEREMONIES BEGINS WITH A SUCCESSFUL KAMU

Hajia Maryam Abacha

Everything about this wedding points at the fact that it would be huge! What less can one expect from the households of the official Africa's Richest human alive, in the person of Alhaji Aliko Dangote and that of retired Inspector General of Police, M. D Abubakar.

So just as yesterday was the engagement ceremony of the Vice President's daughter Damilola, later that evening was the Kamu night for Fatima hosted by Fatima's paternal grandmother, Dr. Mariya Sanusi Dantata in Kano, yesterday, Thursday March 15, 2018.

The Kamu ceremony like we already tried to explain in the report for Idris and Fatima Abiola Ajimobi's wedding, It's a beautiful, fun but serious part of the events. We have thought to break down fully here the whole series of events that makes up the culturally rich Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri and Shuwa wedding.

For the Hausa,Fulani, Kanuri and Shuwa their very rich traditional wedding is well steeped in Islamic rites and must follow certain well laid down patterns and most often the entire series of events, spans a whole week. From the "Wedding Fatiha/Nikkai", which is the "most important" part of the whole proceedings and is actually the wedding itself, to the grand finale, "the Grand Reception" which is just the merriment, the party which seals everything altogether!

Part 1 is the "KAYAN ZANCE". This first part can only happen only after the wedding proposal has been accepted by the bride's family. Once the proposal is accepted, what follows is that the groom's family would gift or provide certain gifts, depending on the level of means or resources of the groom's family. The package for the bride would include household items, cookware, jewelry, underwear, beauty products, perfumes, shoes, fabrics, cash etc. If the groom's family are well positioned (rich enough) they might even provide a whole house as a gift to the bride. This is when you ll see the Louis Vuitton Bags and all sorts as gifts for the bride. The more affluent the groom's family are, the more upscale the level of gifts brought too.

Part 2 is known as "DAURIN AURE". In the series of events, this is the "Most Important" part of everything. This is the "Wedding Fatiha known also in the South as the Nikkai ". This part is attended strictly by men on both sides of the families only, where wedding vows are exchanged. It's a very "religious ceremony". Representatives from each side would exchange vows on behalf of the groom and bride in front of a religious leader and invited guests. In actual fact once this is done, the people are agreed and accepted to be married already.

Part 3 is known as "KAMUN AMARIYA". "Kamu' actually refers to or mean, "Catch the bride"! This is one of the oldest part of the whole ceremonies, which makes up the whole wedding. Here the groom's family (aunties, sisters, cousins) would come to negotiate with the friends of the bride, for her (bride) to be released to them. Since they have come for their "beloved bride", no price or amount can stop them from getting their bride, so name it, they are willing to "PAY"! Negotiation to come to an ideal agreement can last for as long as 30minutes and thereafter, it would be followed by a reception. After the negotiations have been concluded, as a sign of agreement a special perfume (turari) would be sprayed which signifies that all has been sorted out well. That's when the happy and fun reception can now proceed. In addition, the money from the negotiation is actually not taken by the bride or her family. It is shared amongst the friends of the bride!

Part 4 is known as the WUNI/SA LALLE. A very colourful part of the proceedings. Here only the women on both sides are involved, it is a "strict ladies only affair". With how stunning many of the Hausa, Fulani, Kanuri and Shuwa ladies are, this is one part when they all come out in torrents, like a beautiful waterfall in their nice amd very colourful Hollandaise outfits with their LALLE. At this occasion, the bride spends the last bit of her "Free Time", with the female members of her family and then later her various friends at her dad's house. Then Henna dye is used to do very intricate designs on the hands and feet of female family members and friends of the bride. But the "most beautiful, most stunning, most intricate and most intriguing of the designs" is for the bride herself, who is obvious centre of attraction. So has is standout. In every manner! WUNI itself actually means a form of like lounging/relaxing, so the bride enjoys loads of pampering while getting good advises from those aroumd her.

Part 5 is known as the "KAI AMARIYA'', not the KAMUN as above. This is like the last part of the whole ceremonies. This is when the family and friends  "escorts" the bride to her matrimonial home, where they would be well received by the groom's family. Depending on levels again, the groom's family would lead followed by the bride's. Here again series of prayers for the marriage, well being of the couple, their home, their future etc would pour endlessly, also advises from elders would follow too. Thereafter all these 5 major parts have been concluded, depending on the means, resources, wherewithal of the families involved, then a "Grand Reception", mother of all parties, with enough food, music and entertainment can now be done.

For Fatima and Jamil many major parts of the ceremonies have been concluded already, but it's still remaining the "GRAND RECEPTION" which is set for Lagos next week Saturday, March 24, 2018 at the Eko Hotel Victoria Island Lagos. Both are officially already husband and wife!

One of the August visitors at yesterday's event was none other than the wife of the late former Nigerian dictator- Gen. Sani Abacha in the person of Hajia Maryam Abacha.

If you don't have the invitation card to attend the grand reception, don't even venture trying to go there!

MM EXCLUSIVE- BABY (FATIMA) WEDS IDRIS GETS MARCH 3 & 10, 2018 DATES!

Lovebirds- Idris and Fatima

Fatima "baby" Abdullahi Ganduje

When 2 elephants unite, you all already know what to expect! These elephants here are the families of the the Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi of Ibadan and that of Kano State, Alhaji Umar Abdullahi Ganduje.

Come Saturday, March 3, 2018 by noon in the beautiful city of Kano, 2 extraordinary lovebirds, who we are so into each other, that it's bordering on something else in the persons of 'Fatima "Baby" Abdullahi Ganduje' and 'Idris Abolaji Abiola-Ajimobi', the first son of Oyo State who is the younger brother of the super stylish Abisola Kola-Daisi, and in fact the only son of the Oyo State Governor, would seal their love for each other at a Nikkai ceremony (Wedding Fatiha) that would take place at the Central Mosque, located inside the Emir of Kano's Palace ground.

If the events that have taken place already are feelers towards what to expect, then though the Kano event is just the small part of the ceremonies, we expect the grounds to shake with the sheer numbers of heavyweights that are expected to converge in Kano come through date of the event.

We can tell you exclusively that all things are been done to make it a beautiful, very secured, top notch of a traditional occasion, that would highlight our beautiful but diverse cultural heritages to the height. What else can one expect, when the honourary father of the bride and even the occasion is the Emir of Kano himself, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II.

We can reveal to you without any doubt, that the AJIMOBIs and select friends would just be popping back into Nigeria from South Africa, where Idris's "bachelor's eve" was held.

Much as the Kano gathering is the event it is still the periphery, as the major party from the feelers we have gotten is going to be on the next Saturday following March 3, which is Saturday, March 10, 2018 at a venue not yet released but that would be most definitely in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital., where the Ajimobis, from all indications would lay out the red carpet without restrictions.

So the honey coated month of March 2018, where humongous weddings would take place is here and the wedding to open the floodgate is that of Idris and Fatima and we are already very excited. Especially as we would enjoy all the fun of this particular one.

Feelers we have gotten as per one of the other big upcoming wedding, that's between Jamil Abubakar and Fatima Dangote though is that it might be shut out from the press/media. So let's at least enjoy this more open one. 

HALIMAT WEDS AUWAL LAWAL ABDULLAHI 2017 IN MINNA. DETAILS ABOUT LAST NIGHT'S CEREMONIES

Bride Halima

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.

USMAN DANTATA & RUKKI INDIMI'S SUPERLATIVE NUPTIAL

We had told you all prior to the D-day that it would be one of the nuptial of the year as a Dantata was going to wed an Indimi and yes it a glorious one was in all ramifications. 

What would one have expected when 2 certified billionaire families come together as one. The groom, Usman Dantata apart from the fact that the Dantatas are known to be super-rich; he is also related to the richest black man on earth, Alhaji Aliko Dangote whose mom is/was a Dantata and the Indimis on their side though also stupendously wealthy, they are also related though by marriage to the Babangidas. 

The young & handsome dandy Usman Dantata took as wife, the gorgeously beautiful fairy known as Rukky Indimi. The beautiful Rukaiyah is Rahama Babangida's (Mohammed Babangida's wife) younger sibling. 

The wedding Fatiha began though in a rather more subdued way at the Indimi's Mosque in Maiduguri, Borno State. The subdued nature majorly was due to the ongoing security situation still prevalent in the state. But we heard that it didn't all end there,as there was a continuation of the nuptial festivities both in Abuja, the FCT & in Kano, where the fanfare many had expected took place. 

All in all, we were able to get a few pictures of the superlative nuptial for your viewing pleasure. One of those at the wedding was our own dear African Julia Roberts in the person of Genevieve Nnaji.

COUNTDOWN TO A BILLIONAIRE'S WEDDING AS DANTATA WEDS INDIMI IN BORNO STATE

ALHAJI (DR.) MUHAMMADU INDIMI

INDIMI MOSQUE

All roads and many flights would lead to the capital of Borno State come the first week of November 2013. It's the joining together of  children of 2 billionaire families, as Usman one of the scions of the very very rich & famous Dantata family, the extended family of Aliko Dangote in Kano (Alhaji Aliko Dangote's mom is from the Dantata family) would take as bride- Rukaiyah, one of the incredibly beautiful daughters of Borno billionaire industrialist Alhaji (Dr) Muhammadu Indimi, OFR, a very good friend of the Babangidas. 

The upcoming wedding is set for the first week of November, 2013.  The morning of Saturday, November 2, 2013 to be more precise at the palatial home of the Indimis in Maiduguri, Borno State.

The wedding, which most definitely should be one of the best weddings of the last quarter of the year would obviously have the who-is-who of the Northern elite and many friends of both families from far & near in attendance amidst very tight security. 

 

The wedding invitation that has gone out reads thus: The Families of Alhaji (Dr.) Muhammadu Indimi, OFR & Late Alhaji Sanusi Alhassan Dantata cordially invite you to attend the Wedding Fatiha of their children Rukaiyah & Usman.  Which will Insha Allah take place in Maiduguri, on the morning of the 2nd of November, 2013 at the Indimi Mosque.

This is one society wedding we would gladly love to cover.

The venue of the Nikah ceremony was the National Mosque, in Abuja, the FCT. The solemnization was ably conducted by the Chief Iman of the Mosque himself, Alhaji Ustaz Mohammed. Some of the guests in attendance were the likes of the former Military Head of State, General Abdulsalam Abubakar (retired), VP Namadi Sambo, Mohammed Adoke (Minister for Justice & Attorney General of the Federation), Senator Bala Mohammed, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, richest black man on Earth, Alhaji Aliko Dangote & many National Assembly members.

After the mosque, the reception that followed was at the ThisDay Dome, also in Abuja. Some of the prominent guests that were seen mingling and having a great time back slapping and generally having a good time were the likes of Governors Ibrahim Dankwambo, Idris Wada, Garba Umar of Gombe, Kogi & Taraba. Also in attendance were Senators Andy Uba & Paulinus Igwe, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, billionaire Femi Otedola, Akin Osuntokun amongst several other guests in attendance.

According to our findings, very many gorgeous and stunning friends of the new wife graced the occasion which was a several days ceremony. It was like angels literally in the female form were everywhere. Intermingling with other guests. Chief photographer at the very colourful occasion was none other than ace-photo genius Kelechi Amadi-Obi.

IG OF POLICE MOHAMMED DAHIRU ABUBAKAR WEDS ZAHRA BUNU-SHERIFF MUSA TOMORROW

Come tomorrow, Saturday, September 14, 2013 in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, the city would be agog, as all roads would be leading to the venue of choice to be at, which is. The This Day Dome, Abuja for the wedding between the handsome Inspector General of the Nigerian Police, IG Mohammed Abubakar, 53 and his jewel of inestimable value, the very gorgeous Zahra Bunu-Sheriff Musa, who is the 35 year old daughter of the former Nigerian Ambassador to France and a former Minister holding different portfolios at different times in the Federal Executive Council in Nigeria. Her name Zahra in Arabic means Brilliant or Bright.


Though security would be very very tight, as it is the Inspector General of the Nigerian Police himself getting wedded, we expect that Abuja's finest & the creme de la creme of the Nigerian society would show face to celebrate with the gentleman & his wife at the Nikah ceremony. We hear Zahra is a very close friend of Alhaji Aliko Dangote's daughter Halima.
Obviously because of the caliber of the person involved in the wedding and to avoid any sort of  hanky-panky, expect that at least a kilometer or even a mile radius around the venue of the event would be cordoned off and security would be top notch. It is a strictly by invitation event, so if you don't have any business in that area, you had better not show face or be seen in the vicinity. We expect the all mighty and no nonsense mobile police force men in their full riot regalia to be present.

After the solemnization (in this case the Nikah and the Fatiha) and some form of merriment at the ThisDay Dome, the newly wedded couple from our little findings would later host some friends and family members to an exclusive thank you dinner at the International Conference Center, Abuja in the evening of that same day. From what we have heard, it's another not all comers event. The day's MC is none other than the always dapper Julius 'the genius' Agwu. 

Alhaji Mohammed Dahiru Abubakar, our highly cerebral IG is embracing matrimony a second time around, after the terrible hand of death, had taken his beloved first wife away sometime in 2012 after a gallant battle with cancer. So after a period of mourning and being lonely for several months, it seems that by providence, Allah seems to have provided for him succor in the hands of the beautiful Zahra, who is an executive at a private oil and gas firm-Afren. The story of how they met and how love blossomed and has now led to marriage is a post for another day. Now the hardworking man has found a shoulder to lean on and someone to whisper sweet nothings to once again.


From us at Maestro's Media, we wish the Police top boss very well in his new journey & adventure, while also saying congratulations to the new Mrs Zahra Mohammed-Abubakar.
