So these were some of the major activities that
happened at Peter Okoye’s traditional
weddingwhich held on Sunday.
Yesterday you saw the video of Peter Okoye and
Kaffy’s personally dance at the wedding. Well, 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.
