About seven months after hosting dignitaries to the wedding of one of his son, Ashraf Adam Lamido to his fiancée, Sultana Nazif the daughter of Bauchi prominent politician, Senator Dr. Suleiman Mohammed Nazif, the 16th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, on Friday February 14 held another round of festivities for the wedding of one of his daughters, Princess Amina to her pilot boo, Captain Muhammad Mahi Maaji.
The wedding celebrations began days before 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 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.
And on Friday February 14, for the grand finale, the couple were joined in holy matrimony/wedding Fatiha, at Kofar Gudu, the Emir’s Palace in Kano.
