Peter Okoye's traditional wedding which held on Sunday.
Peter Okoye didn't initially plan to dance, it was the MC
Gbenga Adeyinka who coerced him into doing so by paying
him N10,000.
According to report, when asked how much he was paid for
his first show, Peter answered Gbenga Adeyinka that he was
paid N7, 500. The comedian offered to pay Peter N10,000 for
him to dance, an offer Peter gladly obliged. After doing a few
moves, the rest of the crew (without Paul) joined Peter on
stage and danced to their hit song 'Personally'.
Also, Susan Peters was the 'famzer' of the day. If there was
any celebrity that took the most photos at the event, it was
probably Susan Peters. The actress was seen going round
smiling, hugging and making every effort to take a photo with
as many celebrities in the hall as she could. She (and Toke
Makinwa) practically supplied bloggers with many of the
photos on their Instagram pages.
Moving on to the guests, Aliko Dangote and Folorunsho
Alakija, the richest man and woman in Africa also showed up
at the wedding. While Alakija had arrived at the beginning of
the occasion and left about an hour later for another event on
the mainland, Dangote arrived just a few minutes past 9PM
when many of the top dignitaries had left. Abike Dabiri-
Erewa was also there to honour the couple.
You see, despite the presence of security personals both from
private security firms and men of the police force and armed
forces 'area boys' made their presence known as they rushed
to the car of well-known celebrities and hailed them. Funke
Akindele and Don Jazzy attracted the most attention. On his
part, Don jazzy threw some crispy naira notes at the area boys
which almost led to a stampede as they scrambled for the
cash.
Guests and journalists without their invitation cards were
bounced and one of those affected was Soni Irabor. Well, ace
broadcaster Sonny Irabor was almost refused entry into the
venue. Irabor was dropped off at the entrance of the venue by
his driver who then drove off to park. As he made to enter,
the stern looking security guards who obviously did not
recognize him refused him entry because he was without his
invitation card. It took about 20 minutes for Irabor's driver to
return with the invitation card.
And then twin brother Paul decided to sing a special wedding
song dedicated to his brother and his new wife Lola. Paul
invited a few members of their band who obviously were
familiar with the tune, for the special acapella rendition of the
song. After the song, Paul hugged Peter and said, 'I'm very
proud of you my brother, congratulations.'
In conclusion, the performances were nothing short of
exciting. Although there were many music celebrities who
attended the event, only a few got to mount the stage to
serenade the couple. Some of them were Flavour, KCEE,
Iyanya, Banky W, Tiwa Savage, J Martins, Phyno, M.I,
Lynxxx, Ice Prince and Naeto C.
