•Exclusive Details Of The Plan For The IBADAN Party
All
is set for Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Mohood Olalekan Balogun to stage a mega
wedding reception/thanksgiving for his daughter, Tejumade. The ceremony, slated for
10th September 2022, holds at Ibadan Civic Centre, Agodi GRA, Idi-Ape, Ibadan,
the capital city of Oyo State. Already,
top celebrities from all walks of life and from different parts of the world
are gearing up for the party. It’s a royal event which promises to be the talk of the town. This is because Oba Lekan Balogun and his lovely Olori, Olori Olayinka
Balogun won’t leave any stone unturned in making sure the event is a memorable
one. It is also the first major social function that Oba Lekan Balogun will
host in Ibadan since he emerged as Olubadan.
The colour
code for the party is Green. There is Green on Green lace and Aso-Oke for close
friends of the royal family, and Ankara for general. A popular highlife
sensation, Akin Embassy and his Ambassadors Crew are billed to entertain guests
at the party.
The
party’s invite at our disposal reads: “Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial
Majesty, Oba Sen. Lekan Balogun & Olori Olayinka, cordially request your
pleasure at the wedding reception/thanksgiving of their children, Princess
Tejumade and Ayoola Bello. On Saturday 10th September 2022. By 12.00 Noon. At
Ibadan Civic Centre, Agodi GRA, Idi-Ape, Ibadan.”
Though the main wedding had earlier taken place in England but the Nigeria reception, we scooped,
is planned for kabiyesi to carry his people along. We also gathered that the
wedding had been planned before Oba Lekan Balogun’s coronation.
The
England wedding ceremony held on Saturday 2nd July 2022. At Harmony Christian
Centre 23-27 Kemp Road, Dagenham, RM8 1ST. While reception for the party was
held at Oasis Banqueting Hall 6-8 Thomas Road, Barking IG11 OHZ.
It
was indeed a glamorous wedding as guests from Nigeria and across the globe
honoured the families of His Imperial Majesty Oba Olalekan & Olori Olayinka
Balogun, the Olubadan of Ibadanland and Engr. & Mrs Olugbenle Bello.
The
bride’s mum, Olori Olayinka Balogun is a Specialist Nurse back in the United
Kingdom, where she has built an impressive C.V for herself. She is from Iree in
Osun State but married to an Ibadan man. She is the third born of 6 children of
Pa Eniola Lagunju, the man behind the popular Olaoluwa Chemist in Osogbo.
Olori
Olayinka attended United Primary School, Comprehensive High School, Ayetoro
both in Ayetoro, Ogun Stare, for both her primary and secondary school,
respectively. From there she went to Baptist High School, Ede because my aunty and
the husband relocated. She later enrolled in nursing school because my father
was a pharmacist and wanted one of his children to be in that line.
She
later came to U.I for my Nursing Degree program and then did her midwifery. She
also studied Health Education, and Advance Health Education at the University of
Ibadan. She started her nursing career at UCH as Staff Nurse, where she met her
husband, Oba Lekan Balogun.
She
however relocated to the UK and became a Specialist Nurse in Tissue Viability and
later a Specialist Nurse in Lymphedema.
