Thank God it has all come to a conclusion finally. At least we can now look forward to the next big thing now (sigh of relief), maybe that would take a while though. Jamil and Fatima Abubakar really took over the media on all platforms for 2 straight weeks and might have shutdown the internet as there was no one that didn't report it, from this side of the world. This surely might beaten the record already set by Banky W & wife coverage .
The curiosity to know what Africa''s wealthiest man would do really got everyone's attention. No doubt we weren't too disappointed at all. It was a fairytale start that ended on a fairytale note too. We only pray that the couple would live happily ever after, especially all of this much of scrutiny. But from their body language though, we so sure that both are totally, awesomely, madly in love with each other and we pray for the success of the marriage and for fruitfulness to abound bountifully all round.
Like we had already anticipated and predicted, it was lifestyle all the way in all ramifications. We don't think Eko Hotel Convention Centre have ever been more beautiful, as the lighting fixtures, decor, settings etc were the bomb. K Square security as they are known to do in collaboration with the real security were first class, but that should have been expected though. The groom is none other than the 1st son of the former boss of the Nigerian Police, so security would beba given and supporting that fact is that the bride is the daughter of the Richest Nigerian and adding to that is that the guests were some of the wealthiest, most connected in Nigeria and some from outside.
Guest list like already spoken about was out of unbelievable, with as many as 22 Governorsbod states serving government functionaries, past and present leaders of the nation, Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and wife, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR, Gen (rtd) Yakubu Gowon, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, GCON, Alhaji Nenadi Sambo, GCON, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu & Senator Remi Tinubu, Aremo Olusegun Osoba and Beere Derin Osoba, former 2 time Governor of Kano Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi, leaders & members of the House of Assembly, led by the Senate President Dr Olubukola Saraki and wife, Speaker RT Hon. Yakubu Dogara, and we saw the hilarious dancing Senators Drmola Adeleke & Dino Melaye. We also saw the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo Addo, Togo's President, Faure Gnassingbe, then billionaires like Philanthropist par excellence, Mo Ibrahim, Samad Isiyaku Rabiu, Tunde Folawiyo, Capt. Hosa Ogunbor, Folorunsho Alakija, Femi Otedola, Jim Ovia, Tony Elumelu, Deji Adeleke, Aigboje AIG-Imokhuede, Ayiri Emami, Daisy Danjuma, Hajia Bola Muinat Shagaya. We had corpate gurus in attendance too likes of Otunba Adekunle Ojora and Erelu Ojuolape Ojora, Wale Tinubu. There were other bigwigs like Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Emir of Kano, Mallam Muhammad Sanusi II, Oluwo of Iwo, Oba AbdulRosheed Adewale Akanbi Telu I, first lady Aisha Buhari just to mention a few.
Supreme entertainment was provided by the king of African beats, King Sunny Ade, Davido who is Aliko Dangote's godson, the inimitable Wizkid, Timi Dakolo, DJ Jimmy Jatt & the Vintage band. All of who gave great accounts of themselves.
More after the break.

If this marriage packs up after all this then all of them are mad, including the people ‘tapping’ into this ‘blessing’.
ReplyDeleteWow! Anyone that is someone was at the party. But wonder why no one is mentioning Mo Ibrahim the British Billionaire that was there too. And the Association of Runs, side chicks and Aristos were all there in droves. Dangote pulled REAL, Genuinely Rich Folks, and powerful people to the party. Very impressing crowd. This marriage better work with this over the top if not, I will sue not only Nigeria but sue Bill Gate too
ReplyDeleteHow were all these people able to get invitations? Did they all have to hustle for the IV's?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Helen Prest Ajayi's necklace is so beautiful. Nike oshinowo looks good too.
Bill Gates humility should be a lesson for bank debtors Nigeria fake ass Billionaires. I saw him standing up to greet groom when he came to say hello to him by his table and if it is our own bank debtors, they wouldn't do so.
ReplyDeleteGown was custom Elie Saab
ReplyDeleteNot custom. But Elie Saab bridal.
DeleteCongrats again to the couple! Auntie Nike ooooo! what happened? Omotolaaaaaaa! MTN! ATTACHEE! I can't believe grandma MO looking so young while Auntie Omotola looking so old? exchange of youth????
ReplyDeleteYes o exchange of youth aka cosmetics surgery
DeleteCongrats to the couple! Everybody was there so why the hype! Omotola was there so everyone was there!
DeleteMehn!!!!!!! Photoshop is a bastard! Most of these chicks I see on gram looking fly, saw most of them looking regular! As a guy, I was shocked! Bill Gates almost walked towards me to aid in closing my mouth! No shame! collecting business cards as if their lives depended on it! Even security guys were giving cards to chicks! some ladies didn't know that those guys were security guys! #Deep sign! Psquare would have performed but their stupidity deprived them of making cool money!
ReplyDeleteOmotola should cool it already, haba!taking pictures with anybody that has a name and running helter skelter as if she's the host, nawao!
ReplyDeleteEven Dangote and his family cool down for the party pass Omotola, hia oh!
