It was a 4 day extravaganza that the capital city of Ilorin, Kwara State would not forget in a hurry. It was the nuptial ceremony between the first daughter- Maryam of renowned Muslim cleric- His Eminence Sheikh Sulaiman Farooq Onikijipa & one of the sons of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Retired Chief Justice Alfa Belgore (Abdulsamad Belgore). Many came from far and wide to celebrate with both families. At a point, it was like a carnival had arrived in town. The young and the old, disciples of the well-loved Muslim cleric, top Alfas from far and wide, very gorgeous friends of the bride and her deliciously beautiful younger sister- Iradat, came out in large numbers to celebrate the gorgeous bride.
The first day of the ceremony kicked off with a night totally dedicated to the bride- it was tagged ‘’the bride’s eve’’. It’s a ceremony that is more common in the Northern parts of the country. It is where friends and female members of the family of the bride, gather all night in celebration of the bride, singing and dancing, playing games of all kinds, before the wedding ceremony proper. For many of us, who had not encountered a ceremony like that before, it was a delight to watch. Just imagine, very many gorgeous, young ladies of many complexions, all together at one venue, looking very sweet and very friendly, all having great fun.
