All you need to know about Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo’s November 17 wedding

On Sunday, November 17, 2013, the most anticipated celebrity traditional wedding between Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo, will hold at The Arc Events Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

And according to Encomium, the nuptials is expected to be carnival-like, star-studded,  going by the array of guests already slated to honour the celebrated couple.
While telecommunications giant, Glo boss, Mike Adenuga Jnr. is going to chair the nuptials, gifted comedienne, Helen Paul is no longer going to co-host with fellow comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka.
This is because Helen will be performing at comedian AY’s London show holding that same day.
According to one of the planning committee members:

“Invitations have been sent out, except for few friends who are not in the country at the moment. Apart from the afore-mentioned names, we’re also expecting some other celebrities, which I don’t want to mention.”

Although, Peter’s mum passed on a year ago, his father, Mr. Okoye will lead other siblings from their base in Ifite-Dunu, Akwa Village, Anambra State, to Lagos for marriage rites.

Peter, 33, is going to be the first celebrity son of Mr. Okoye to marry. His brother, Paul has already proposed to his babymama and long time girlfriend, Anita Itokwu-Isama, but yet to pick a date.
However, the woman that rocks the life of their elder brother, Jude, 38, is yet to be known, as he has not been linked romantically with any lady.
Meanwhile, there is massive demand for the wedding aso ebi and headgear, otherwise known as gele, that go for N40, 000.
As you read this, we can tell you authoritatively that the demand has soared, but only few were able to get. Those who didn’t get the complete aso ebi have gone for the N5000 headgear.
An inside source said:

“There is no aso-ebi for men, except for family and close friends. However, the groom, Peter has given out free cap (blue) to friends, especially celebrities, who are excluded from the male aso-ebi. By now, they should have gotten theirs, with access card. The access card admits one person and should be brought to the venue.”

Yul Edochie Dazzles In New Flick ‘Maga’

The name, Edochie, is not new in the motion picture industry in Nigeria. In fact, just like the name ‘Hubert Ogunde’ cannot be forgotten, so is Edochie. Since starring in the late Chinua Achebe’s adaptation move, ‘Things Fall Apart’, performed many years ago, where he played the role of Okonkwo, Pete Edochie has grown to become a respected, fearful and honoured actor in Nollywood. Pete has succeeded in dragging his sons into the film industry, one of which is Yul, who has built a name for himself and hopes to surpass his father’s achievements, which remains doubtful to some critics. The gist reaching us is that the handsome and young Edochie has starred in a new movie titled ‘Maga’. Yul was said to have displayed why he is one of the best actors in Nollywood and also someone that can become bigger than his father in the industry. Yul, who played Obi, according to the synopsis of ‘Maga’, was brought to Lagos by his cousin, Dan, played by Benedict Johnson and was introduced to the business of seducing and milking money out of rich and lonely women. Unknown to him, he was not aware that he was to be used for something cold-blooded against his kind and loving ‘catch, Ivie, acted by Uju Edochie Ngene. With his eyes set on the big prize, Dan plots deadly kidnap, blackmail, robbery and murder against Obi and Ivie not knowing he was plotting against himself. ‘Maga’ was co-produced by Uju Edochie Ngene and Chizo Ihezue, while Frank Chu' Ubaka directed the film. As we learnt, the movie is already out
