BETWEEN

Story: Michael Effiong Photo: Adekoya Adegbite, Segun Lawal, Ken Ehimen & Funmi Adeyemi

T

his is the middle of the year, but there is no shadow of doubt that the wedding between Fatima Aliko Dangote and Jamil MD Abubakar would go down in history as one of the Weddings of Year 2018.

The celebration of love which unfolded in three cities: Kano, Abuja and Lagos was filled with pomp, circumstance, colour and glamour. It was as breathtaking as it was grand-with both bride and groom having the support of their siblings and close family.

Jamil, a commercial Pilot, who is the son of Nigeria’s former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Dikko Abubakar and Fatima, a Director of Dangote Group, Founder, Cup Cake Factory, Lagos and daughter of Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote pulled all the stops to ensure that this was indeed a superb gathering that was attended by world class celebrities including Nigeria’s number one citizen, President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and some Forbes-listed billionaires: Bill Gates, Mo Ibrahim, Femi Otedola, Dr Oba Otudeko, Abdulsamad Rabiu and Sir Kessington Adebutu.

Jamil, the groom, arriving with friends

From Kano to Abuja and then Lagos, it was a roller coaster of fun and excitement, in actual fact, many of the guests were elated to attend and pay homage to the bride’s doting father, Alhaji Aliko Dangote who generally supports worthy causes and attends intimate ceremonies of his friends and associates.

Though the bride’s mum, Hajiya Zainab Mohammed had a Mother’s Nite ceremony in Kaduna, the real programme for this spectacular wedding began with a Kamu/Yinni Night hosted by the bride’s paternal grandmother, Dr. Hajiya Mariya Sanusi Dantata.

The venue, Fabs Event Centre, on Magaji Rumfa Road in the ancient city of Kano was truly transformed for the big occasion. With Fatima Ahmed Salga and Majidda Modibbo working with the event planner, Mrs. Funke Bucknor-Obruthe of Zapphaire Events, the

16

atmosphere was convivial.

From the entrance, guests were welcomed by cultural artefacts and traditional decorations. That was not all, smiling usherettes decked like Hausa maidens also ensured that everyone was comfortably seated.

The Kamu Amariya which is literally translated as “Catch The Bride” is one of the important pre-wedding Ceremonies in Northern Nigeria. It is usually a lively occasion where the bride is given marital tips while the groom’s family comes to request for her hand in marriage with gifts and other items.

What could be described as the highest point of the occasion was when the beautiful bride who was beaming with joy stepped into the arena. She wore a traditional Iro and Buba outfit designed by Deola Sagoe .With applause, whistles and chants, the women

heralded the new bride like a true Princess.

The celebration hit a higher tempo much later when the groom accompanied by his friends made a dramatic entry into the venue. Jamil took his place beside Fatima and the chemistry that was exuded by the pair was obvious for all to see. There was true love in the air!

This exciting event had in attendance Nigeria’s former First Lady, HE Mrs. Maryam Abacha, First Lady of Niger State, Dr. Amina Abubakar Bello, First lady of Kano State, Dr. Hafsatu Abdullahi Ganduje and Aisha Babangida.

The very next day all roads led to the imposing palace of the Emir of Kano, HRM Muhammadu Sanusi II. This iconic landmark in the heart of Kano City was the venue for the Wedding Fathia and as early as 7am, preparations were in top gear.

The organising team led by Founder/Chairman, Coronation Capital, Mr Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and Mr Herbert Wigwe, GMD/CEO, Access Bank were there to personally fine-tune last minute arrangements.

They ensured that the protocol team was in place and the security into the main venue was water tight.

Guests started streaming into the expansive royal grounds at about 9am, and it was not long before the groom and his retinue of friends arrived and were ushered to a row of canopies delicately positioned outside the inner chamber venue.

It was at about 10am that His Royal Majesty, Emir Muhammad Sanusi II stepped out of the royal courtyard and with all the finery of his traditional position, made a grand parade through the event grounds before settling at a special area where he later received guests.

Some kilometres away at the Aminu Kano International Airport, Airport, the air traffic controllers

were working at frenetic speed as assorted chartered flights ferrying top-rate guests to this one-of-its-kind wedding began to land.

Many of those who arrived early including the Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki were seen around the VIP area. We were told they were all staying behind to receive the President.

These top Nigerians and the fathers of the couple: Alhaji Aliko Dangote and Former Inspector-General MD Abubakar formed the welcome party as Nigeria’s Presidential Jet touched down.

With a smile on his face, President Buhari exchanged pleasantries with everyone before stepping into his official Mercedes Benz S Class Vehicle and headed to the venue with sirens blaring at full blast.

On arrival at the Palace, all the security barricades earlier mounted were relaxed for the Presidential motorcade to glide into a comfortable area very close to the venue.

President Buhari stepped out as soon as his vehicle came to a stop, waved to the teeming crowd who had gathered round, and then walked briskly into the venue.

While inside, he was received by the Emir of Kano and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje. There was a small prayer session before the wedding fathia proper began.

After discussions, the family of the groom presented N500,000 as bride price to the bride’s family and it was received on behalf of the Dangote family by Mr. President. Amidst smiles and exchange of pleasantries, the couple were officially joined as man and wife. The ceremony was then sealed with a prayers

by HRM Emir of Kano, Mohammadu Sanusi II. The successful conclusion of this all important ceremony was announced to all, including the guests that were waiting patiently outside this inner chamber.

Immediately this news came through, the groom was filled with joy and he got cheers, handshake and congratulations from friends and guests.

While some guests went home after the Fathia, others headed to the Meena Events Centre were a reception had been arranged.

The Emir of Kano, Ooni of Ife, Senate President Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, Mr Femi Otedola, Uncle Sam Amuka Pemu, Prince Bisi Olatilo, AIG Tunji Alapini, Chief Demola Seriki, Mr Fola Adeola, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, Mr Deji Adeleke, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, Mr Ricky Tarfa, SAN, Nduka Obaigbena, Akin Olopade and Wale Tinubu were among the many guests that were there.

As it is the tradition, this Fathia reception was only attended by Jamil and his friends. The bride, Fatima was absent.

The beautiful bride was most probably resting or getting ready for another first-rate reception that had been arranged for the couple later that evening at the Afficent Event Centre.

Like the other Kano events, the planner was Zapphaire Events, Security was handled by Ksquare while Wole Olagundoye and his team from Outori Limited handled logistics.

These outfits worked seamlessly together, little wonder that the events were smooth as silk.

The Wedding Dinner was glamorous in all ramifications. With zany lights and exotic décor, everything was set for a wonderful evening. When the couple arrived, they were simply stunning.

The bride glowed in a fitting haute couture number by one of Nigeria’s top

fashion brands, Deola Sagoe. She wore a Champagne A-line dress with tulle embellished corsage and feather detail veil. Her flawless make-up was handled

by Banke Meshida of BMpro. So, as she walked arm-in-arm with her beau into the venue, they made quite a perfect pair.

The glamorous event which was chaired by Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki had in attendance Former First Lady of Nigeria, Mrs Maryam Abacha, wife of the Former Vice President of Nigeria, Amina Namadi Sambo, Femi Otedola, Donald Duke, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Mr. Herbert Wigwe, Aigboje AigImoukhuede, Capt. Noggie Meggison, Mr Deji Adeleke, Mr. Muyiwa Bakare, Senator Ademola Adeleke, Senator Andy Uba and Hon. Abdulmumin Jubril.

In his remarks, the Senate President urged the couple to imbibe the virtue of patience and also told them to settle their differences between each other without the involvement of a third party. He then added “Insha Allah, this your marriage will succeed and once again, I say, congratulations” H.E. Mrs Toyin Saraki, wife of the Senate President officiated the cakecutting session. After she had asked the couple to place their hands gingerly on the knife. Mrs Saraki said the words, Allahu Akbar thrice before the couple cut the cake to the delight of everyone present.

She then directed Fatima to cut a piece and feed Jamil, this she did with so much grace and no hesitation. Jamil also took his turn before the couple posed for photographs with their parents and guests.

The fathers of the couple were also invited later to dance with them, this was one emotional moment especially for the bride and her dad.

The event which had Darey Art Alade as compere, also saw guests entertained by top Comedian, Basketmouth and the Vintage Band. The highest point of the evening was when Davido showed up on stage to serenade the newlyweds. His pulsating performance added a touch of spice to the occasion. The couple and their guests really had a great time.

Next stop for this amazing celebration was the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja where the groom’s family laid out a very lavish reception for the couple.

As expected it was another gathering of Nigeria’s

Mariya Aliko Dangote & Inna Fatimah Ali

top elites despite the fact that it was happening on the same day that the Vice President’s daughter, Damilola Osinabjo was getting married to Seun Bakare, the hall was filled to the brim with quality guests, a testament to the clout and connection of the two families.

There was one gesture that marked Jamil out as a perfect gentleman who truly loves his wife. As the couple were making their way to the venue, a piece of her dress was caught in her shoes. The lover boy without any scruples, bent down and spent minutes helping his wife sort out the problem, Oh what a nice guy!

Little wonder that as they continued their walk, the joyous bride gave his hands a big squeeze and shot him a loving look that spoke volumes of her own deep

affection.

The Chairman of the event was former Governor of Ogun State, Aremo Olusegun Osoba. There was also a short speech by Mr Femi Otedola who advised the couple to respect each other’s opinions and be prayerful.

It was another topnotch ceremony that had star performers like Lil Kesh and Ice Prince entertaining guests.

A few days later, the handsome groom released a moving video on instagram professing his deep love for Fatima He stated “I have seen [Fatima] today and I'm looking forward to seeing her again and again and again and again and… again… till we are old and have wrinkles on our faces!"

As a soothing romantic music wafts in the background and the camera pans to catch a clip of Fatima having her make-up for one of the ceremonies, Jamil’s smooth booming voice said “I want you to keep smiling and remember; nothing changes. Your family is still your family. Your family is my family and my family is your family. We are one and the same...”

This was a good prelude to the next event scheduled for the Centre of Excellence. Lagos was the most fitting city to host the grand finale of this celebration of tradition and love and the venue was the prestigious Eko Hotel & Suites.

The venue and all the areas around it was on total local down. Guests that

were not VVIP had to park their vehicles at the Eko Atlantic City some metres away and were ferried to the venue in shuttle buses. This service ran efficiently throughout the ceremony.

The security measure put in place by the Mr Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede-led Organising Committee was very elaborately executed by KSqaure Security. This was a wedding Reception like no other as all invitation cards had to be cleared and checked on the guests list! It was that thorough.

Of course, OVATION International had full access at the ceremony that had Outori Limited as Event Co-ordinators, Zappphaire Events as Planner, Bonix Drinks for cocktails and Saheeto for Small chops.

This was an event which was not a business summit but had the largest gathering of billionaires in one room. You had to be a powerful heavyweight to gain access to the special VIP area.

For this mother of all receptions, the gorgeous bride chose a show-stopping gown by famous Lebanese designer Elie Saab and embellished her outfit with a turban by Eme Akenzua’s John 3v3 hats.

Her bridesmaids wore outfits by Peridot Clothing while their turbans were by Turban Tempest. Of course, her make-up was by BMpro.

She was resplendent as she and Jamil stepped on to the creatively laid out walk-way and red carpet delivered by Kingsley James and his team from IDCL Nigeria.

The couple seemed very much at ease in each other’s company as they made a grand entrance on stage. The beautiful stage erupted with fireworks, fanfare and enchanting smoke as Fatima and Jamil took each step to the front area accompanied by their bridal party.

Just as they had done at previous events, before they settled to their seats, they began to greet guests and thank them for making this their day extra special.

The Chairman of the occasion was Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and he, it was, that officiated the cutting of the cake.

Ali Baba and IK Osakioduwa were the Masters of Ceremonies and they had a tough time recognising the galaxy of stars and celebrities that were at this one-intown-reception.

Davido and Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s favourite musician, King Sunny Ade spent time delivering enthralling performances that delighted guests. There was something for everybody, the young, the young atheart and the aging!

In the course of the ceremony, the bride’s father was invited to speak, and his pre-recorded message was beamed on the giant screens.

His words “Fatima, my baby, my youngest, my sweetheart this is a bittersweet time for any parent. “I watched you blossom into an excellent representation

of what I call my values; you are indeed pure to them.

“I trained you to take on any kind of weight on your shoulders and also to be bold and respectful,” Jamil has been a son to me even before I realized he had gone inside my garden to pluck my Juciest rose. “I am here anytime you need me and I love you unconditionally. “I have done enough homework to know that Jamil will always respect the ground you walk on. Good luck on this new journey my baby. The time has come. “Be loved, be very happy and I love you very very dearly.”

The wonderful celebration reached its zenith with a dance session that continued even after the newlywed made their exit to begin their life together as one!

Oh what a magnificent celebration this turned out to be! Whatever the hype that this celebration generated, it was worth it, the families and the organising team delivered big time. It was certainly so successful that the memories will linger for many years.
