Our Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and his delightsome wife, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo are sure very social media savvy and are fully abreast of the realities of the times, so Instagram, Twitter, Facebook etc are all nothing extraordinary to them. So before anyone would need to bend over backwards to get any news about their gorgeous daughter engagement today, Thursday, March 15, 2018, in Abuja both VP and wife themselves had released images of what went down on their different media platforms for all to see.

Like we had rightly predicted, it wasn't a loud loud throw out, as expected of the wedding featuring the children of both the incumbent Nigerian Vice President and that of billionaire businesswoman, Hajia Bola Muinat Shagaya. It was more of an elevated parlour affair! The engagement was at the Aguda House official residence of the VP and a follow up reception at the old banquet hall of the Presidential villa, where the wedding reception on Saturday would also take place.

If one can just quickly remember  that just in the last 2 weeks prior, the kids of serving Governors in Nigeria, just recently got married and Nigeria practically moved to the 2 locations of those events, so now the wedding of the first daughter and child of an influential Vice President at that to the son of a well known, highly connected lady! So the people expected that heaven should literally have come down to earth, but alas, it was devoid of the unnecessary fanfare and attendant paparazzi, but that didn't take away from the class and distinction of the event though.

Parents of the gorgeous bride wore a very lush red silky Aso Oke ensemble. The bride and the groom's traditional outfits as expected were stunning to say the least, the happy bride was all smiles all through, so also was the lucky bridegroom, who was enveloped by much air of confidence. Mother of the groom a renowned style icon in her own right looked stunning in her rich and lush purple outfit. All through the occasion, it was obvious that Damilola shares a deep bond with her parents. The wedding proper itself is set for Saturday, March 17, 2018 in Abuja. the FCT at the National Christian Centre.

So part one which is the engagement is done and dusted already, now it's the turn of part 2, which is the wedding proper, which is what we are awaiting with bated breaths and we know that for that, a host of men of God from around the country, in particular Pastor Enoch Adeboye would gather to make that occasion, stamped, sealed and delivered from heaven.

Congratulations on this one.

More exciting pictures after the break.

SEUN WEDS DAMILOLA. FOR HAJIA BOLA MUiNAT SHAGAYA, IT'S A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.....

Hajia Bola Shagaya, VP & wife- Prof Yemi & Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo & Groom- Seun Bakare

Two families uniting in matrimony is always a good thing, from just being strangers before or just friends, both in marriage becomes one united family and as much as possible, become one big single family. At least that's what the union between the son, Seun of Hajia Bola Shagaya and the daughter-Damilola of the Vice President would engender, unity, oneness and love.

This wedding by all standards should be a big one, a VP of a super rich nation like Nigeria, who was a very successful lawyer before coming into politics, whose wife's nuclear family- The Awolowos, are very influential and very well to do also and a billionaire business woman, who is not only very highly connected, but by implication also very very well to do. But from the little we have heard, thiugh all things are been put in place to make sure it's a classy wedding by all standards, it is rather going to be a "quiet wedding", far from the attendant noise that we are all expecting! If all things don't change as planned, the engagement would be done inside the living room of the bride's home in Abuja and the wedding ceremony and other events, would be at the Ballroom of the Aguda House in Abuja, the FCT, devoid of all the unnecessary noise and fanfare, paparazzi et al. Why both families have chosen to go this way, is only known to them. So all those expecting full Owambe mode, had better have a rethink. Maybe after this write-up though, things might change?

What we can tell you as a matter of fact for now though is that, Hajia Bola Shagaya the groom's mom, has jetted to  Dubai, the tourist capital of the UAE to do the required shopping to make this occasion a grand one???? As much as possible, at least to the limit that they can go.

We all know that she has been quiet for a bit now, reason been that some of her funds have been held up (that EFCC matter, remains hanging), which might have affected many things, but being a billionaire, that doesn't mean that there wouldn't still be a few hundreds of millions here and there to play with that's was kept somewhere. Apart from the paucity of funds, she being a friend to so many very powerful and super rich and influential people, especially someone like His Royal Majesty, The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammad Sanusi II, her very good friend, who she singlehandedly bought and gave a "Rolls Royce" to when he became the Emir as a gesture of friendship, when things were more robust, we can bet that all of these great people would rally around her now at this time. Maybe the Emir, might even use his influence to relax some unnecessary scrutiny around HAJIA, so that she can breathe a lot more easier.

One very good part of this wedding also is basically that, major part of the finances concerning the events, at whatever level it would go would be born by the bride's family, the Osinbajos, not because of their position, but because that the way it is in Yoruba tradition and culture. So Hajia would only just do as much as she can or wants to do, that's after she and her family might have done the normal statutory contributions expected of them towards the wedding..

Part of the good things about marrying the daughter of the Vice President, who is known to be the 2nd most powerful person in Government in Nigeria, would be that if there was ever any issue or problem whatsoever before with the Government in whatever form, those issues are likely to either be totally relaxed or they would disappear totally, completely and quietly, without a whimper. That's because you can't be one big happy family and you are still having an issue or a problem with a unit of that one big family or still pursuing a negative issue against yourself! So we are expecting that madam would soon exhale without difficult pretty soon!

Now that the countdown is only a few weeks away (March 15 & 17, 2018 being the dates), would the dad of the groom, Mr. Shina BakareB emerge and be involved in any way? In fact who is Shina Bakare? Where is he domiciled? Lagos, Ilorin, Abuja, Cotonou, India or the US?

The little we know about the dad of the groom is that he is/was a "globe trotting businessman' with tentacles that extended to "Cotonou, India and the US). He was a former Moslem who like his son got converted ti Christianity whilst "abroad" and he has since remarried. Though his whereabouts are not known, maybe he would appear at the wedding of his son to the highly cerebral, very well natured and behaved, gorgeous, eldest daughter of the VP.

Seun, the born again, Pastor in the making son of HAJIA Bola Shagaya a devout moslem, is one of Hajia's 5 sons, Sheriff, Hakeem, Seun, Kabir & Tolani, who are all doing very well first e themselves. The first 2 boys are married. While 3 of the boys are Shagayas, Seun the 3rd born is aa Bakare and one of the boys is a Saro.

Kabir the 4th born and 2nd to the last would be getting married also this year too, in May from the indications we have gotten. And we are expecting that would be another big wedding too.

The very close ally of at least 5 former first ladies, namely the late Maryam Babangida, Maryam Abacha, late Stella Obasanjo, Turai Yar'Adua and Dame Patience Jonathan is a lady of style, elegance and panache anyday and we are sure she would bring that to bear at this occasion too.

SEUN BAKARE WEDS OSINBAJO SET FOR MARCH 2018. BUT ANOTHER SHAGAYA WEDDING IS ALSO UPCOMING IN MAY 2018

Hajia Bola Shagaya

The month of March 2018 is gradually becoming power packed with the kind of events that would hold in that 3rd month, end of the first quarter of 2018. First it is the Jamil Abubakar weds Fatima Dangote wedding that everyone was getting prepared for in that same month, now feelers that we have gotten has it on good authority that the families of "Osinbajo of Abeokuta, that's the family of the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and his adorable wife would be uniting in Holy matrimony with the Shagayas, that's Hajia Bola Shagaya's family.

Damilola Osinbajo & "Seun" Bakare would on Thursday, March 15 and Saturday March 17, 2018 in Abuja, the FCT, solidify their love for each other by making it legal, both traditionally and otherwise.

From what we have learnt, the 2 families wants to keep the ceremonies hush-hush (very quiet). Why they had adopted that idea we don't know, but we have thought to help them by announcing it to the world for free, without asking for a Kobo and without any stress to them whatsoever.

Everyone already know very well the pedigree of both families uniting in thr marriage. Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, SAN is the legal luminary who is the current Vice President of Nigeria. He was at a time the former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Lagos State during the administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. His amiable wife on the other hand is one of the grand-daughters of the enigma known to all as Chief Obafemi Awolowo, of blessed memory.

The mother of the groom on the other hand is the billionaire, Kwara State strong woman, HAJIA Bola Shagaya, a top businessman woman and owner of Practoil, amongst several business concerns of the very stylish and quiet lady.

Damilola, the quiet, very beautiful and super intelligent 2nd daughter of the VP & wife is in her 20s, and is an award winning Masters degree holder from a private Ivy league school- Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, Hanover USA.

"Seun" Bakare is one of the sons- (Sheriff, Hakeem, Seun, Kabir and Tolani in that order) of Bola Shagaya. Infact Seun is the 3rd of 5 of Hajia Bola Shagaya sons, and like his mom also, he is a  businessman/player in the oil and gas sector.

For those that don't know, though "Seun and Damilola are getting hooked in March of 2018 which is only a few weeks away", Kabir the next to Seun (4th) is also getting set of marry too, but his own would be in May of 2018.

So it's a double pronged preparation for the Shagayas of Ilorin, Kwara State, knowing Hajia Shagaya very well, both weddings would epitomize class and distinction in all ramifications. One other very curious thing about the March 2018 wedding is also that, while the bride- Dammy is a Christian, her VP dad being a pastor at the RCCG, Seun is a "Moslem"?, his mom is a practising Moslem who is liberal as it seem. So it's a marriage of love and tolerance as can be seen.

Congratulations in advance to both families and the couple.
