Jare OLUKOTUN
The entire ever busy popular Challenge/Molete road in Ibadan, Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria, came to a standstill on Saturday, March 31,2018, as London socialites and business couple, Alhaji Olukayode Eniola Alogba and Alhaja Aderonke Omolayo Adelabu, stormed the ancient city for their Nikkah/Engagement ceremony which was tagged ‘Celebration of Love’.
The colourful, glamourous and well-attended ceremony was held at the palatial Genesis Hotel Hall, Challenge/Molete Road, Ibadan.
The ceremony, which was attended by families, friends, associates and well-wishers of the couple who have been blessed with three lovely boys and have been living in London for many years, also served as the 40th birthday anniversary of the bride.
It was indeed a spectacular and memorable engagement/nikkah and birthday ceremonies as guests were treated to rounds of delectable sumptuous meals, both local and foreign, complimented with assorted drinks.
Despite that attendance at the ceremony was strictly by invitation, the large hall of the Genesis Hotel Suites, one of the best in the city of Ibadan and which hosted the three in one event, could not accommodate the massive crowd of guests who have travelled from far and wide within and outside Nigeria, including United States of America, London and Canada to honour the lucky couple.
Popular Ibadan fuji act, Taye Currency, who is a close friend of the groom, entertained the guests which included the crème la de crème of the society till late in the evening after which the party train moved to the pool side of the Genesis Hotel as merriments and celebration continued into the midnight.
