Kelekele Love crooner, Tiwa Savage started the first leg of her wedding to her manager, Tunji Balogun in Lagos yesterday. The traditional wedding recorded an enchanting list of celebrities. Though it was said that the couple wanted by all means to keep paparazzis at bay, but the excited guests became the first set of paparazzis posting the wedding photos over Instagram and other social networks. The couple plan to have the 2nd leg of their wedding sometime in 2014.
Yesterday at the Ark Events Place, Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria, Peter Okoye, one half of the popular Afro-pop group P-Square had the phase one of his wedding (the traditional wedding rites) to his beau and baby mother, Lola Omotayo. The ceremony was well attended by families, close friends and friends from the industry. Planned, co-ordinated and decorated by the duo of Perfect Coordinators and Wedding Guru, the whole place dripped sheer opulence, finesse and panache. Earlier in the year, Peter proposed to Lola by presenting her with a brand new Range Rover Evoque, bouquet of flowers and a chunky rock (diamond ring). Peter and Lola have two lovely children, Cameron and Aliona.
Ruth Ejiro Ajana sure is a fashionista by miles. She drips style whenever she steps out. Truly, she deserves to be applauded for her continuity in the looking good business and for donning those stunning ensembles flawlessly. The extremely fashionable woman of substance is the devoted, loving and passionate wife of Femi Ajana, a UK based business man. They both run their own company called Execflats.com Serviced Apartments where she is the Director. She describes her husband as "a very gentle and easy going man". Ruth is from Delta State of Nigeria, but born and bred in Lagos, Nigeria. She has been living in the UK for 23 years and 9 months to be precise, and through those years, she has achieved quite a number of goals.
We had a close up with her recently......
