All you need to know about Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo’s November 17 wedding

On Sunday, November 17, 2013, the most anticipated celebrity traditional wedding between Peter Okoye and Lola Omotayo, will hold at The Arc Events Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

And according to Encomium, the nuptials is expected to be carnival-like, star-studded,  going by the array of guests already slated to honour the celebrated couple.
While telecommunications giant, Glo boss, Mike Adenuga Jnr. is going to chair the nuptials, gifted comedienne, Helen Paul is no longer going to co-host with fellow comedian, Gbenga Adeyinka.
This is because Helen will be performing at comedian AY’s London show holding that same day.
According to one of the planning committee members:

“Invitations have been sent out, except for few friends who are not in the country at the moment. Apart from the afore-mentioned names, we’re also expecting some other celebrities, which I don’t want to mention.”

Although, Peter’s mum passed on a year ago, his father, Mr. Okoye will lead other siblings from their base in Ifite-Dunu, Akwa Village, Anambra State, to Lagos for marriage rites.

Peter, 33, is going to be the first celebrity son of Mr. Okoye to marry. His brother, Paul has already proposed to his babymama and long time girlfriend, Anita Itokwu-Isama, but yet to pick a date.
However, the woman that rocks the life of their elder brother, Jude, 38, is yet to be known, as he has not been linked romantically with any lady.
Meanwhile, there is massive demand for the wedding aso ebi and headgear, otherwise known as gele, that go for N40, 000.
As you read this, we can tell you authoritatively that the demand has soared, but only few were able to get. Those who didn’t get the complete aso ebi have gone for the N5000 headgear.
An inside source said:

“There is no aso-ebi for men, except for family and close friends. However, the groom, Peter has given out free cap (blue) to friends, especially celebrities, who are excluded from the male aso-ebi. By now, they should have gotten theirs, with access card. The access card admits one person and should be brought to the venue.”

Fuji star, Pasuma in murder mess, crushes fan with his vehicle

Oh dear!
Fuji star, Wasiu Alabi Odetola, popularly known as Pasuma Wonder might just be walking into the police net soon.

New reports surfacing online claim that a member of the convoy of the Fuji star over-ran a fan after Pasuma’s vehicle knocked down the victim on their way from a show at Idimu-Council area of Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State a few days ago.
NET reports thus:
“The victim,  was said to have been lurking around to get a glimpse of the star as he was leaving the St. Augustine Events Hall, Isheri-Idimu where the show took place only to lose his life in the process. ‘Pasuma was trying to avoid the area boys as he was leaving and so he was driving fast and it happened that he knocked the boy down and the vehicle behind him ran over the boy’, an eye witness told us.

Pasuma is said to have been driving in his newly acquired Range Rover Sports and did not bother to slow down to find out what had happened. ‘He sped off without caring’, another eye witness said.
Narrating his side of the story, a security guard at the St. Anthony Event Hall, Idimu- Council venue of the October show, who was at the scene of the accident,  said some fans had insisted that Pasuma drop some money before he could leave.
‘He climbed on top of Pasuma’s vehicle, refusing pleas from the musician’s men to get down.’
‘He was high and drunk because he climbed on Pasuma’s jeep and refused to get down after all the efforts to talk sense into him.
Pasuma moved his car and he still ran after the car and was trying to climb on to the roof of the moving car but fell to the ground and unfortunately for him, the vehicle conveying members of the police force who were part of the Fuji musician’s entourage ran over him as he fell and rolled under the vehicle’, said the security guard who requested to remain anonymous.
Speaking to NET in a telephone conversation, Pasuma’s manager, Afolabi Oyekoya refused to confirm or deny the allegations.”
