The wedding ceremony of Adebimpe Abigail Ojo and Israel Adeola Alabi drew dignitaries and well-wishers to La’occassionz Event Place, Abule-Egba, Lagos State, on August 29 and 30, 2025.
The two-day celebration began with a colourful traditional wedding and climaxed with a white wedding, where Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) and CEO of Bullion Records, served as chairman of the occasion.
Delivering his marital advice to the couple, Ajadi emphasised that love must be the foundation of every marriage, describing it as the first of seven principles needed for a flourishing home.
“Love is an affection that comes after the two couples truly understand each other,” he said. “The husband must love his wife because love teaches responsibility, makes prayer a part of the home, and helps couples forgive and care for each other.”
Ajadi explained that love also inspires respect and tolerance within the home.
“A home without prayer is not a godly home,” he added. “Love leads to prayer, forgiveness, care, and accommodation. It makes each partner respect the other, and when there is respect at home, outsiders will also respect the marriage.”
The NNPP leader, known for his philanthropic and political engagements, also gave practical advice, urging the bride to look after her husband’s well-being.
“The wife should feed her husband very well because food is essential. Beyond that, both should be cheerful with one another and satisfy each other sexually. Love makes this possible,” Ajadi stated.
Beyond love, he outlined six other principles for a successful marriage:
Commitment – Expressing deep dedication and choosing one’s partner daily, even through life’s challenges.
Submissiveness – Rooted in biblical teaching, but also in mutual respect, trust, and sacrificial love.
Discipline – Practising self-control, active listening, and consistent effort to nurture the relationship.
Satisfaction – Deriving joy, pleasure, and fulfilment from one’s spouse and the union as a whole.
Understanding – Comprehending each other’s perspectives, needs, and emotions with empathy.
