“Igbo marriage in Lagos” – Video of Chioma’s dad praying for Davido during wedding ceremony raises eyebrows
  • Chioma’s father has unequivocally endorsed Davido’s union with his daughter, a moment vividly captured in a viral video circulating online.
  • The touching display saw Chioma’s father blessing the music sensation wholeheartedly, reinforcing his profound support for their relationship.
  • Amidst the outpouring of familial affection, suggestions arose that the wedding should be held in Chioma’s father’s hometown, not in Lagos.

Nigerian music sensation David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, and his father-in-law are currently grabbing headlines for their poignant exchange during the grand wedding festivities of Davido and Chioma at Harbour Point in Lagos on June 25, 2024.

The event happening now is a star-studded affair, with friends, family, and dignitaries in attendance, creating an atmosphere of celebration and cultural richness.

One of the standout moments from the occasion was when Chioma’s father, amidst an aura of reverence and tradition, offered heartfelt prayers for Davido.

The touching scene, captured live on Instagram by Davido’s close friend Cubana Chiefpriest, swiftly went viral, resonating deeply with fans worldwide.

In the now-iconic snippet from Chiefpriest’s Instagram live, Davido humbly prostrated before Chioma’s father as a gesture of respect, while the elder extended a traditional hand fan over the singer’s back.

In a soul-stirring blend of eloquent Igbo language, Chioma’s father invoked blessings upon Davido’s life and their union. He fervently prayed for Davido’s prosperity, marital bliss, and fertility, evoking the divine protection of God against any malevolent forces that may seek to harm the couple.

The poignant prayer didn’t end there; Chioma’s father, in a demonstration of boundless warmth and generosity, extended his blessings to Davido’s friends.

The viral video of Davido and Chioma’s wedding sparked a diverse range of reactions across social media platforms, particularly concerning the choice of Lagos over Chioma’s hometown in Imo state for the elaborate ceremony, as per tradition.

Critics and traditionalists questioned why the grand celebration did not adhere to the customary practice of holding such significant events in the bride’s ancestral home.

However, supporters of the couple were quick to provide counterpoints. Some suggested that the couple may have already honored tradition by conducting the introduction ceremony in Imo state, or they might have opted for Lagos due to security concerns or logistical reasons.

Others posited that the decision could have been a mutual agreement between both families, considering various practicalities and preferences.
