These are the two weddings that could by termed weddings of the year in Nigeria. The two wedding ceremonies in question lived up to their billings in every sense of the word as they were not devoid of elegance, panache and sheer opulence.
Otunba Mike Adenuga
The palatial home of Otunba Mike Adenuga, the billionaire Chairman of Globacom, in Banana Island Estate, Ikoyi, Lagos, was last Saturday besieged by all hues in the social and political circles for Oyin Adenuga’s private engagement ceremony.

The ancient city stood still for the traditional marriage of these two political bigwigs in the Southwest.
Oladipo Dabiri is the son of Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Relations and the Diaspora to President Muhammadu Buhari whilst Ayomide is daughter of Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
The superlative wedding was a grand event attended by who-is-who in the political and social scene.
The parents ensured that the high-class shindig lived up to expectation as the high society men and women of class that graced the wedding.
The second leg of the wedding is scheduled for later in the year. The long list of guests include the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and his wife, Dolapo; Lagos Governor Akinwunmi Ambode;
