After about seven [4] hours of partying the Married couples were flown in a presidential jet to The Island of Malta where they will be for two [2] weeks before they are flown to be in audience with the Queen of England at Buckingham Palace in honour of the celebration of the newly married Mrs Adaeze Okoro Williams....
The Engagement ring and wedding ring cost a whooping 12 million naira, bridal dress [2million] etc... To crown it all the couple were given a 7 bed roomed ensuite house at VGC Lagos with an Olympic sized swimming pool and and a small mini hall full of indoor games. Altogether the guest list, gifts, rings, honeymoon and everything has set this wedding apart from all other wedding celebrations in Africa and indeed the world though second to only the 1981 wedding between Prince Charles and Lady Diane wedding. This wedding is already being tagged ‘’wedding of the century’’. The National Reel bulletin [June14th 2011]
March 4th 2012 RE: WEDDING OF THE CENTURY
You will remember in our June 14th 2011 Edition where we reported the wedding of the century between Johnson Okoro Williams and former Miss Adaeze Ebenezer. We now have it on good authority that the marriage is over and both of the parties have agreed to the dissolution of the marriage. The divorce was filed by the husband Barrister Johnson Okoro Williams in Abuja recently. As at the time of this report [8months and 4days after the grand wedding] the bride has moved out of the matrimonial home in VGC and moved into her recently purchased home somewhere off Oba Akran in Ikeja area of Lagos. We will be bringing you more news after now, stay tuned. The National Reel bulletin [March 4th 2012]
WHAT CAN MONEY NOT DO?
Yes even if money happens to be the answer to all things... and a temporary provider of happiness, it will not and has never been an answer to all things. Am reminded of the Series title by James Hadley chase ‘’What’s better than Money’’ and I am tempted to reel out and quickly Itemise all the stuff I can think of but let’s slow down here and really get a good grasp of our theme of discussion.
Money will buy the things that will keep you happy momentarily but will definately not buy you LOVE or would you know anyone who has purchased true LOVE via money? Where this has been practiced it has had a bad repercussion. [money can’t buy you TRUE love]
Money will not buy you good health, marital faithfulness, good character, an inbred talent, a Michael Jackson’s kind of voice etc...
Money will certainly buy you a great cook, a Jacuzzi, physical security, all the beautiful antique or great Art collections.
In fact statistics show that the marriages of most successful and wealthy people have broken down more than ordinary people living everyday lives.
A.R a super duper motivational speaker has been married more than once.
Donald T.: several times
Liz T.: over 4times
Even rich sports folks have not had the best of marriages inspite of their wealth.
Bottom-line: stop / don’t choose a marriageable partner simply because they are rich or wealthy. And of course we are not asking us to marry a pauper. Rather look for top and solid marriageable qualities in them:
A sound and pristine character: don’t judge an individual based on their reputation or personality alone, get to know the person properly proper.
A person with a vision and not an ambition [marry a visionary]
Good people skills etc...
Don’t marry:
An emotional wreck regardless of how rich they are
A drug addict
A person who revels in Alcohol
A chronically secretive person etc...
PS: this is a very controversial subject but I always like to tell the strongly opinionated people who disagree to go ahead and try out what they believe is not true and then come back to tell us there story:
Play it safe , don’t marry someone because of their MONEY, WEALTH etc...
Be sure
Double sure
Sure as SURE...
Cheers.
