What Went Down At Peter Okoye's Wedding: Susan Peters' Famzing, Don Jazzy/Funke Akindele's Encounter With Area Boys, Paul Okoye's Gift
So these were some of the major activities that happened at Peter Okoye's traditional wedding which 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.
