A who’s who of Nigerian dignitaries converged on Victoria Island, Lagos for the highly anticipated wedding of music megastar Davido, known to fans as David Adeleke, to his fiancée Chioma Rowland. The ceremony, tagged #CHIVIDO2024, has become a national spectacle, trending heavily online and drew in celebrities, politicians, and influential figures from across the country.

The guest list boasted some of Nigeria’s most recognizable names, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the revered Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and prominent Governors like Godwin Obaseki, Ademola Adeleke, and Udom Emmanuel. This star power reflects Davido’s immense popularity and influence, not just in the music industry but in Nigerian culture at large.

The road to this lavish ceremony hasn’t been entirely conventional. Davido proposed to Chioma in 2019, and while he’d referred to her as his wife by 2023, the recent announcement of their wedding just days ago surprised many fans. Nevertheless, the excitement surrounding the event is palpable, with well-wishers flooding social media and eager anticipation hanging heavy in the Lagos air.
