So these were some of the major activities that happened at Peter Okoye’s traditional wedding which held on Sunday (courtesy of Victor Enengedi and Ngozi Akums):
Yesterday I brought you guys the video of Peter Okoye and Kaffy’s personally dance at the wedding HERE. Well, Peter Okoye didn’t initially plan to dance, the MC Gbenga Adeyinka coerced him into doing so by paying him N10,000.
According to NET, 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 his 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, lol. 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 us -bloggers – with many of the photos on their instagram pages, lol.
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.

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.

I told you HERE that 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.
Besides the scary hefty-bodied security personnel from K-Square, the officers of the Nigerian Army were also on ground to maintain order.

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.
