Anticipation of the wedding began building about two months ago and despite the announcement of a protest against bad governance and hunger, the couple remained unfazed and carried on with the wedding.
Festivities for the wedding started on Tuesday July 3oth with a ‘Sa Lalle’, an event which is strictly for the bride and her female guests. This is when the bride gets to spend the last bit of freedom with them. It is a sisterhood event that nurtures female friendship and bond It is also a way for parents to prepare the bride for marriage, an initiation process.
The female bonding continued the next day on Wednesday July 31st, with a henna party where the application of henna on the bride and her female guests took place. The application of henna serves several symbolic purposes, one of which implies a blissful married life emblematic of vibrance, fertility and attraction of positivity.
Later that evening, there was a party where the groom joined the bride.
And on Friday August 2, for the grand finale, the couple were joined in holy matrimony at the National Mosque, Abuja and a reception followed immediately after.
To avoid prosecution from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC when it was time for naira rain, the couple opted to print their own currency with their pictures emblazoned on it.
