Many of their friends in good numbers showed support by travelling to Warri to be with them. This 2nd part of the report is just to showcase more of the pictures of the event and those that attended.

More after the break.

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO OMAWUMI AS SHE BECOMES MRS IN EVERYWAY POSSIBLE...

Omawumi is a wonderful woman in every way you might want to describe her, very very respectful with a good understanding of our culture and tradition. We have seen her in close quarters and seen her on many occasions how she related with those around her and we were astonished that being a recognised artist of many years standing who normally should carry a chip on her shoulders, none of such was present, she was just herself a virtue we greatly appreciate and commend.

So today Saturday, January 13, 2018 the gorgeous lady of song and her beau of many years- Tosin Yussuf, father of her child and in fact her husband of 2 years running already (their Ikoyi registry wedding was on January 16, 2015 so just a few days more to their 3rd anniversary), today Saturday is their native law and custom wedding as tradition and culture demands it. Just in case you are wondering, why the ceremony? What the couple had done 2 years back was what the law of the state demanded, they had gone to the registry, where they were joined together as man and wife.

What they are doing (have done) now is satisfiying all that their heart and family wants, so the traditional wedding is/was today, Saturday, January 13, 2018 in Omawumi's dad's compound in Warri, Delta State and the party is presently on going, with friends and family in support.

Just in case, you have invited some celebrities to your event and they couldn't make it, its most likely they are in Calabar, Cross River State as the special guests of honour of the incredibly vivacious former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the person of Mma Bakassi, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, whose gorgeous and very brainy daughter Koko Ita is having her traditional native law & custom wedding today, Saturday, September 13, 2014.

The venue of the traditional wedding is none other than the royal palatial home of the dame of style & panache herself, called the Princess Villa, Diamond Hill, Calabar, CRS. You all already know that Calabar the capital of Cross River State is one of the most naturally beautiful places in Nigeria, having also one of the highest concentration of gorgeous damsels too, so those ones in addition to many of the celebrities and stars, who are friends of the mother of the bride, coupled with Koko's friends from all parts of the world, Calabar today would be a virtual convergence point for many delightsome daughters of eve. So eligible bachelors you are welcomed.

Before today's ceremony, Koko who had being away abroad for a while, and had come back into the country to prepare for her glorious day had been observing the traditional wedding rites has dictated by her custom. For a whole week, she had been in seclusion in the very famous 'Fattening room', that the 'Calabarians' are known for. The Efik according to their time honoured tradition, sends their daughters to the fattening room to be pampered preparatory to getting wedded. Koko was in the fattening room for a whole week, away from everyone except those taking care of her, she only comes out in the evenings to dance.

For today's event anyway, the color of the day is Coral & Turquoise, so we expect that by the time the pictures starts flowing in, it's going to be a sea of Coral & Turquoise as worn by the guests. Knowing fully well that Mma Bakassi is a well respected politician & business woman, who is one of Nigeria's top movers & shakers this day's wedding, is most definitely going to be star-studded one. We expect the likes of Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Waturocha Dominic, Ini Edo, Chidi Mokeme, Shan George,Kate Henshaw,  Susan Peters and the likes to be in attendance.

The white wedding, from all the indications we have gotten is going to be one of the biggest celebrity events of 2014, and it is upcoming in a few days time, Saturday, September 20, 2014 to be more precise. And like you all already know, the venue is The Main Hall of the Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Colour of the day is quite exotic- shades of magenta!!! Expect the event to be a super luxurious carnival of style & fashion, music & entertainment with high powered guests (made up of several Governors, many Government officials, ambassadors, other guests from all the corners of the world. Mma Bakassi is known to throw some of the best parties in town, and this her daughter's wedding, would be a statement making one no doubt. Madam prior to now, had gone abroad to prepare for this occasion, known as an unrepentant fashionista she would most definitely be a cynosure of all eyes in her various outfits. Mma is a well known Elie Saab & Walid Atallah fan. So we are waiting with bated breath to see what she would wear.

So if you haven't gotten your invitations yet, you had better go do now, cause we hear that the security would be unprecedented.  Come see the occasion as Chimaobi Shawcross Obioha Jnr. takes the lovely Koko Florence Mayen Ita, as his lovely wedded wife for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and good health, to love and cherish till death do them part.
