It has been revealed that Aliko Dangote personally shopped for the diamond and luxury designer wrist watch Fatima Dangote wore to the grand finale of her wedding ceremony to Jamil Abubakar, which held at Eko hotel and Suites, Lagos.
Talk of a doting dad and you are face-to-face with Africa Richest Man, Aliko Dangote.
A father of three daughters—Halima, Mariya and Fatima— he seems to be excited at his daughter’s decision to marry Jamil, son of MD Abubakar.
Known for his simplicity, it is amazing that the billionaire businessman shopped for the jewellery used by his daughter, Fatima at her wedding reception which held in Lagos.
Banke, who has been the makeover artiste from inception to Fatima and other Dangote’s daughters, took to Instagram and wrote:
“When your daddy goes #JewelleryShopping for you ???. #daddysgirl @harrywinston ??? #diamonds #rosegold #famil2018
Finalé!
A Harry Winston watch reportedly cost as much as $32,000, and that was reportedly what Fatima Dangote wore to her wedding ceremony last night.
Dignitaries like Billionaire Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, Wife of President Buhari, Aisha Buhari, her daughter Zahra Buhari, son in-law Mohammed, Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo, former Vice President Namadi Sambo, Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Bovi and many others were said to be in attendance.
Before the couple’s wedding ceremony in Lagos, Fatima, daughter of Africa’s Forbes-Listed Billionaire, Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Jamil, the pilot son of former Inspector General (IG) of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, a Kamu/Yini night was hosted by her grandmother, Dr Hajiyya Mariya Sanusi Dantata in Kano, as part of her wedding rites.
The Kamu Amariya is one of the oldest events in the Hausa wedding ceremony. Kamu means catch the bride. The groom’s family comes around to negotiate with the bride’s friends, for her release to them. The groom’s family is expected to be willing to pay any price to have her.
