Bigwigs Grace Isaac Izoya ‘s Wedding In Benin

-

ITwas a top society wedding for Germany-based music and film promoter, Isaac Izoya, who recently got married to his heartthrob, Princess Precious Uhunmwangh­o, in the ancient city of Benin, the Edo State capital.

The groom, popularly called Cultural Ambassador in Europe, is the creator of the annual Nollywood

Film Festival, Germany, ESAN Akugbe People’s Union and Ehizoya Golden Entertainm­ent Award, for which many Nollywood filmmakers and Nigerian creatives in the Diaspora are honoured yearly.

It was, therefore, not surprising the number of people from all walks of life that converged on Benin for the two-day event- a traditiona­l marriage at the bride’s father’s home on Task Force Street, Off Upper Street/saviour Road, and a lavish reception at the Rialto Hotel and Resorts.

Celebritie­s at the events include Opa Williams, Lancelot Imasuen, Cossy Orjiakor, Queen Blessing Ebigieson, Louiza Williams and Charles Inojie, who was Master of Ceremony.

Notable Nigerians in the Diaspora at the event include Mr. and Mrs. Uzzi from Kassel, Germany; Austine Ediale from Helsinki, Finland; Chief Mike Ituah from Germany; Joe Aihende from Zurich, Switzerlan­d; Michael Ogbomo Ernest from Essen, Germany and Boss Mikel from Malaysia, among others.

Performers at the events include De Turner Stars of Benin, aka Ogbomon 1, the popular Osazeme Theatre Troupe of Nigeria, directed by Lady Sikira Aruma Olaye and The Voice Nigeria Season 2 contestant, Sophia. An Afro pop artiste from Anambra State thrilled the audience at the wedding reception, just as comic artist, Edo Pikin, cracked the guests up with his hilarious jokes.
