It was a colourful introduction ceremony on Sunday, 27th January, 2020, when Kehinde Daniel, the beautiful daughter of former Ogun Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel (OGD) & his beautiful wife, Yeye Olufunke Daniel introduced her husband to be to her family. That was the day her family members formally met Debola Williams, the CEO of Red Media Africa. Because of the pandemic, OGD decided to make use of his Maryland residence as venue for the ceremony. In line with the Covid-19 protocol, he only invited a few guests. The ceremony was classy, as many distinguished Nigerians attended. Below is the report of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ABOUT THE VENUE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The venue was the sprawling house of OGD at Maryland, Lagos.\nIt is called Daniel\u2019s Court. The magnificient edifice was built in 1996 on a\nlarge expanse of land, with trees and flowers. It also has a Swimming pool. A\nmarque was erected in a corner of the compound. The marque could sit about 200\nguests. Only family members and VVIPs were allowed into the marque manned by\nbouncers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ABOUT THE BRIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The bride, Kenny, is a beautiful and stylish babe like her\nmum. She is the only daughter of OGD. She is her mother\u2019s look alike. She has a\nstrong facial resemblance with her mum. Her slim physique, however, makes the\ndifference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ABOUT THE GROOM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Adebola Williams is a dashing Lagos big boy, who is into\nMarketing Communications business. He is a tall and handsome businessman with\nglobal tentacles. He consults for international clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE BRIDE\u2019S FATHER LOOKED STYLISH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Otunba Gbenga Daniel dresses well all the time. Since his days as a corporate player and top Manager at Shroeder, he has always worn the best suits. When he became a politician he began to wear more of traditional outfits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He is always stylish, whether in Traditional or English wears. He is a man of sartorial elegance. At the Introduction, on Sunday he looked dashing in his coffee-brown Luxury Velvet Agbada which was richly embroidered. He wore a richly designed cap to match. He wore a black designer shoe and had a long Gold Chain on. His wife wore the same velvet fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ABOUT GROOM\u2019S FATHER & MUM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The groom\u2019s father, Chief Williams, was very happy on that day. Dressed in all-white agbada with coral accessories to match, He looked great and he danced to reveal his joy and happiness on the day. His wife also looked dashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE CHOICE BAND DAZZLES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On band stand was The Choice Band, which is a band that was\nborn when OGD was Ogun governor. OGD liked to dance to its beats during his\ntenure as Ogun Governor. The band Chairman, Prince Abiodun Adebayo Adegoroye\nthrilled guests with a variety of sweet and sonorous tunes. So sweet was his\nmusic that both OGD and his wife danced to some of his songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ABOUT OLU OKEOWO (JNR) & FRIENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not many people know that Construction giant, Sir Olu Okeowo has a look-alike son, who is fast taking after him. He was chauffered-driven into the venue in a sparkling black ESCALADE. He wore a flowing Agbada. He sat in the garden with some of his friends, made up of rich kids. He is close to Taiwo Daniel, the twin brother of the bride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TRANSPORT MINISTER, ROTIMI AMAECHI CAME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people don\u2019t know that OGD and Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi are close. We can tell you that for sure. They are. He was at the introduction and stayed for over 2hrs before he headed for the airport to go back to Abuja. He looked very stylish in his all-white South-South rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n YEYE OLUFUNKE DANIEL STEALS SHOW @ DAUGHTERS WEDDING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is very unusual to have the host of a party or a ceremony\nsteal the show at her own event. That was what happened at Kenny Daniel\u2019s\nintroduction, as her mother dazzled in her outfit. Don\u2019t forget that she is a\nvery fashionable and stylish woman. She is a top fashion designer and she still\nhas her shop in Lagos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When she was Ogun 1st Lady for 8 years, she really made\nstyle statements and other 1st Ladies had to look up to her for style. She has\nnot stopped. She has not slowed down 9\nyears after. She has remained the Queen of Style that she has always been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IT WAS A GALAXY OF KINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many Ogun Obas like OGD. Apart from having been nice to them\nwhen he was Governor, he kept his relationship with them intact. And he\nconstantly calls them to say hello from time to time. No wonder a lot of those\nwho could make it did like the Ewusi of Makun, the Alaperu of Iperu and many\nmore. The Olu Odonselu came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OGUN 1ST LADY STEPS UP HER STYLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ogun 1st Lady, Mrs. Bamidele Abiodun is a stylish woman. She\ndresses well to events and parties. She knows what fits her lovely frame and\nflatters it with lovely outfits. When she got down from the black jeep that\nbrought her into the space in front of the marque, she looked elegant and\nradiant. Those 2 have always been her signature style. Anytime you see her she\nalways looks elegant and radiant. She radiates warmth. She knows what to wear\nto what event. She is simple in her dressing, but classy. She is not loud. As\nher official car approached the venue, Yeye Olufunke Daniel was already waiting\nto receive her. The 2 stylish women embraced themselves and the new Ogun 1st\nLady was ushered in, not without showing Yeye courtesy in her greeting to her\nsenior age. Many noted that courtesy and this made many respect her the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ALL EYES WERE ON ELEMUREN WHEN HIS CONVOY DROVE IN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One king who stood out amongst the others is Oba Adesegun\nBolaji Alowonle, the Elemuren of Emuren. He is a new Oba in Ogun State. He was\nappointed the Elemuren of Emuren in Sagamu LGA on 11th August, 2020. He is a\nPermanent Member of Ogun State Council of Obas and a member of Remo Traditional\nCouncil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He came in a glittering black brand of Jeep and a Hiace escort truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OMOTOLA, OMAWUMI TOKE MAKINWA & OMAWUNMI ATTENDED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A lot of young celebrities attended the ceremony to support\nboth Kenny & Adebola. Toke Makinwa stormed the event in a wine dress, so\nalso Omawumi, the singer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OGD\u2019S FRIENDS ATTENDED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Stan Adeyeni and the bride\u2019s father OGD are great\nfriends. They have been friends from way back. He not only attended the\nceremony, he stayed till the very end. He had his own table where he sat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Construction giant, Demola Odutola was also there. He and\nOGD come way back. They belong to Egbe Bobakeye Akile Ijebu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OGD\u2019S POLITICAL ASSOCIATES NOT LEFT OUT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The bride\u2019s father, OGD surely exercised great restraint not to show how influential he is politically, in his choice of invitees. This is because if he didn\u2019t, the venue would have been filled with politicians drawn from all the parties. But still, a few top politicians came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His deputy, Alhaja Salaman Badru came. So also GNI. He was\none of OGD\u2019s boys, in those good old days before he moved on politically. But\nhe has not forgotten his political godfather. He was there all through the\nevent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DEBOLA WILLIAMS SHOWED HIS ROMANTIC SIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Not many people know that the groom, Debola Williams is very\nromantic. It took falling in love with Kenny Daniel to bring out the very best\nin him. Ever since they met months back its been showers of love all the way\nfrom Debola who proposed to her on a boat cruise and later wrote a poem to\ncelebrate her. At the ceremony, the Alaga Iduro asked the couple to tell guests\nwhat they saw in each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BJ SAX THRILLED GUESTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is hardly any celebrity party that would hold today\nwithout BJ Sax not being part of it with his sax. It is as if no traditional\nwedding is complete without BJ Sax being there blowing the sax. He was actively\ninvolved at this wedding. He ushered in both the groom and the bride with\nsonorous tunes from his sax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many thought his good friend and colleagues, Laolu Gbenjo\nwas around to collaborate with him. But he wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GROOM’S LOVE FOR RED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone who knows Debola very well knows that he loves\ncolour red. So in love is he with the red colour that he chose to call his\ncompany Red Media Africa. Officially, he wears redcaps on his traditional\noutfits, which are mostly white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the event, all his friends wore white and red caps to\nmatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE POEM HE WROTE FOR HIS BEAU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My Tylenol when I\u2019m in pain. The best 2020 blessing one\ncould gain. Loving you more and more gives me all the joy I could desire. Daily\nyou set my soul on fire, Renew my faith in why I want to build with you an\nempire Kehinde, I love you for reasons you\u2019ve never been told, like magic it\nburns my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My star girl, My bright like diamond baby, My oxygen, Thank\nyou for all the joy you have brought to our lives, the love and care, softness\nand safety, organisation, clarity and even more that you will bring to our home\nin Jesus name, amen. I thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our souls have been waiting a lifetime to meet and our\nhearts finally met. You are my answered prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To my parents and my parents in love, your prayers over us\nwill not go to nought, I thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To my brothers in warfare, my prayer partners, my pastors, my friends who have become closer than siblings (a few of them came to the sea to help ask the big question, many who sent gifts to us), my family and my brothers in love, I thank you all. My aunties and uncles, I have so many, I thank you all. To you my friends out there, liking and leaving kind words, sliding into my DMs with those prayers, God bless you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am a child of the community and I will continue to count\non you all as God also helps me add value to your lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, introduction because #OluwaKADE, God has\nbrought me a crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was a colourful introduction ceremony on Sunday, 27th January, 2020, when Kehinde Daniel, the beautiful daughter of former Ogun Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel (OGD) & his beautiful wife, Yeye…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":41,"featured_media":149530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[21483],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/OGD-DAIUGHTER-2.jpg?fit=1464%2C522&ssl=1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":160256,"url":"https:\/\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/ogd-holds-classy-wedding-engagement-for-daughter-kehinde\/","url_meta":{"origin":149524,"position":0},"title":"OGD Holds Classy Wedding & Engagement For Daughter, KEHINDE","author":"Seun Emmanuel","date":"August 9, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"\u00a0\u2022This Is The Story Of The Biggest Wedding So Far In 2021 \u2022How She Got Married To ADEBOLA WILLIAMS When we talk about the biggest weddings so far in 2021, one cannot leave out the wedding of former Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel\u2019s beautiful daughter, Kenny and her beau, Adebola Williams,\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Celebrity Lifestyle"","block_context":{"text":"Celebrity Lifestyle","link":"https:\/\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/celebrity-lifestyle\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gists-From-OGDs-Daughters-Wedding-In-LAGOS.jpg?fit=816%2C527&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gists-From-OGDs-Daughters-Wedding-In-LAGOS.jpg?fit=816%2C527&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gists-From-OGDs-Daughters-Wedding-In-LAGOS.jpg?fit=816%2C527&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gists-From-OGDs-Daughters-Wedding-In-LAGOS.jpg?fit=816%2C527&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":173374,"url":"https:\/\/www.citypeopleonline.com\/ogd-holds-classy-wedding-for-son-adebola\/","url_meta":{"origin":149524,"position":1},"title":"OGD Holds Classy Wedding For Son, ADEBOLA","author":"City People","date":"July 4, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Last Saturday, 2nd July 2022, all roads led to the Marriot Hotel in Ikeja GRA, Lagos where Otunba Gbenga Daniel's son, Adebola got married to his beau, Morenike.
