When Ahmed Omilana Pulled All the Stops for Son’s Wedding

Those close to Lagos physician and entrepreneur, Dr. Ahmed Omilana, know that he doesn’t do things in half measures. So last weekend, the man lit the social milieu for his son, Nurudeen, when he finally walked his longtime heartthrob, Adebimpe Adeniyi, to the altar in Lagos.

The London-based chartered accountant, Nurudeen and Adebimpe, made their vows in front of hundreds of friends and family at Marcellina’s Event Centre in GRA, Ikeja, Lagos, on Saturday, January 31.

The couple were two days earlier joined together at a special Arabian-style Nikkai at the same venue, but splashed out on a second, more extravagant traditional engagement ceremony.

The lavish celebrations spotlighted the immense clout of the groom’s dad and mom, Funmi, who both left no stone unturned to make their son and his sweetheart’s nuptials memorable.

The classy wedding, which witnessed the influx of top socialites, had both the old and new friends of the Oyo State-born health tycoon in attendance. The atmosphere became exhilarated as the vibes from Fuji music legend, Dr. Adewale Ayuba, charged the venue and enthralled the crowd while food and drink flowed seamlessly.
