Come this weekend, Saturday, November 17, 2012 to be precise in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, the town will be agog with felicitations & plenty merriment as many chieftains of the PDP and other top guests will be hosted by the former Deputy Governor of the State, Alhaja Salmot Badru, as she gives her daughter Dr. Faidat Badru away in Holy Matrimony to Prince Wale Oreshade.
The venue for both the traditional wedding (engagement and things) and the Nikkai is the Obasanjo Hilltop residence of the bride, in Oke- Mosan, Abeokuta, Ogun State. From what we have come to know, that area of town is the poshest area of town in Abeokuta, where the well to do have turned into the envy of all. Former President, Chief Olusegun Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo, GCFR, is one of the renowned landlords in the area.
The US based Dr. Faidat Badru, is a UK trained Medical Doctor in her mid-twenties, she moved over to the US after her studies in the UK. She was the best graduating student of her set, and also holds a Masters in Public Health degree. Her husband to be, is a Yoruba Prince, based in Lagos. Prince Adewale Oreshade, is a lawyer by profession & works with Femi Okunnu SAN, CON law chambers, but also a blogger (adewaleoreshade's blog), he is also an Oracle certified associate and an author, one of his books is titled Sad Nectar, while his latest book, titled Poetry of Love, which was launched on November 3, 2012, was inspired and dedicated to the bride. Free copies of the books, would be giving out at the wedding ceremony.
From our little investigation, we hear it is a private event and strictly by invitation. Congratulations to the couple, as they begin their journey in matrimony.
Like the Yorubas would say ''E yin iyawo ko ni me ni oooo'' meaning that by God's grace, we would soon be hearing the patter of tiny feet.

ReplyDeleteMama born girl, there're Yorubas who do private parties oh! Most due to spiritual warnings and few out of humility and to protect their privacy.
ReplyDeleteBride looks cool headed. In your words, it's a good start off.
