Money Marries Money: The Obijackson-Ekulo Power Wedding of the Year

If your name isn’t already on the exclusive guest list for April 22, I’m afraid you’re simply not rich enough to attend! The social event of the season is happening in Okija where Ugochukwu Okonkwo, heir to the Ekulo soap empire, will be tying the knot with Kenechukwu Obiejesi, oil princess of the mighty Obijackson dynasty. 

Let’s break it down for those still catching up: We’re talking about the son of Emma Bishop Okonkwo (the man who keeps Nigeria clean with Eva soap) marrying the daughter of Ernest Azudialu Obiejesi (the man who keeps Nigeria moving with Nestoil). This isn’t just a wedding. It’s a corporate merger dressed in traditional attire! 

Sources informed that the Acropolis Event Centre in Okija will be dripping with more money than a Central Bank vault. Expect the who’s who of Nigeria’s business, political and entertainment elite. Expect enough champagne to float a yacht. And there might just be a private performance from whichever A-list artist is currently the most expensive. 

The real tea? This union creates what might just become Nigeria’s wealthiest power couple since Dangote’s daughter got married. Imagine combining soap money with oil money. Their future children will probably be born with golden pacifiers! 

Rumour has it that the wedding planners had to specially reinforce the dance floor to handle all that collective net worth. And don’t even get us started on the outfits that will assuredly be on display. We know they will be bright enough to light up the whole of Okija town. 

For those not on the guest list? Let’s just say this is one occasion where exclusivity speaks louder than an invitation. After all, when wealth marries wealth, the guest list writes itself.
