If there was
one thing that characterized the Ogundokun/Olokun-Ola nuptial, it was
the creativity that came with every mood that followed the nuptial after it was
conducted in the glare of the royal fathers, guests and well-wishers. It was a
rare and splendid moment characterized with laughter, joy and sheer enthusiasm
of love between the bridegroom and his adorable bride. The couple gave our
creative team of wedding photographers some wow moments to play with as they
laughed, kissed, held each other affectionately, carried each other and dressed
each other before the public. Oyindamola, the only child of High
Chief Ogundokun who studied mass communication among his many children
practically dressed her man in the glare of the public as she put his cap on
his head in a symbolic gesture which shows her profound love and affection for
him and which equally says a lot about her role in his life as wife. The
bridegroom later gave his beautiful bride a golden 6-Karat ring which is the
precious dream of every lucky bride. Oyindamola showed her gratitude with
a cheerful smile and a kiss to her finger that held the ring. It was such an
awesome moment for the couple. It was Oyindamola’s best moments. Asabeafrika
captured some of the moods here and we give it to you live.

The Lagos & Ijebu comedy show…
The
Ogundokun & Olokun-Ola traditional nuptials were
filled with lots of fun and one of such was when the Groom and his men were to
offer their traditional greetings to the father and mother of the bride. Due to
the huge number of his friends, who followed him to offer prostrations to High
Chief Abiola Ogundokun, the MC, Olukemi Akintola Samuel had asked
them to give their names and their place of birth. Every one abided until the
Alaga Iduros began a competition on which city is superior between Lagos (Eko) and Ijebu. The bride’s mum is from
Ijebu while groom’s mum is from Lagos (Ikorodu) while a majority of
the crowd agreed that Lagos was superior to Ijebu
in terms of economic viability and social accommodation, another group disagreed
insisting that Ijebu is superior in
terms of affluence and conservative wealth. However, Olukemi Akintola Samuel the
Co-MC/Alaga Iduro knocked her boss, Mrs.
Olusola Adekanla and the Lagos-aggressor group down when she raised a
copy of a hundred naira note and asked the crowd what is the tribe of the man
on the note? Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s name was chorused by the crowd of
guests (He is from Ijebu-Ikenne) and that sealed the argument. However, the
Lagos crowd continued to insist with a large voice that Lagos was bigger than Ijebu.
As for Iwo, where bride’s dad hail from, when Chief Ogundokun was asked ‘how
much is a land in Iwo’ he simply answered ‘Six Million’ and the crowd echoed
with laughter. So, between Iwo, Lagos & Ijebu, which city is the most expensive? Over to you readers!

Funny things Groom did for his father-in-law…
The Alaga
Iduros could be funny at times and on this occasion, they brought
laughter to so many jaws as they ordered the groom to do so many things just to
prove to everyone that he is capable of marrying the daughter of High
Chief Abiola Ogundokun. One of such was when the groom was asked to
shake his buttocks to the High Chief and the Alaga Iduro said “Chief, you can see that your new son-in-law is not wearing pampers and
we pray he would not wear pampers after marrying your daughter”. They later
asked the Lagos State University alumni to breathe in and breathe out, and once
he did to their satisfaction, the Alaga Iduro again said “You can see he does not have tuberculoses”
and everyone erupted in laughter. The groom and his men later turned to the
over 20 royal fathers for blessings.

The Alaga
Iduros shocked the entire guests once again when they asked the bride
to stand and look at her groom inside the reception shed, she was to carry out
certain things before going to meet him and offer prayers with him. After
telling the bride to profess all the good things like buying of houses, buying
of cars, buying of this and that by her groom, for her. She was asked to pray
and shout ‘my bom-bom, my bom-bom, another woman will not take your place in his
life in Jesus name’ and it was both a chorus of ‘Amen’ and laughter
that greeted the action. It was the funniest prayer of the day. The bride later
finished her traditional gestures which include receiving traditional prayers
from the royal fathers, her parent, in-laws, family and well-wishers before
joining her man in the stead and they became one.

Mrs. Ogundokun who thanked her husband, High
Chief Abiola Ogundokun for being a great father to his children ended
with a golden advice to the couple “My
advice to the couple is that they should relate with each other like brothers
and sisters. They should not fight each other, if there is anything they need
to know, they should communicate. In marriage, communication is powerful.
Communication is of great essence. I pray that God will control the marriage
for them in the mighty name of Jesus I advice that whatever happens between the
two of them, they should just call themselves and correct themselves with love
and understanding. That is the golden advice I have for both of them”.
