Society Gists

Hearts are racing, pulses are quickening and well-manicured feet are itching to dance as the D-day approaches for the wedding of the daughter of Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote, Fatima to her beau Jamil, the son of former IG of police Muhammed Abubakar.
The high octane wedding is already the talk of the town, and that is already before it has even happened. The reason is not far-fetched: the pedigree of the couple’s parents already assures it will be a grand spectacle of epic proportions.
The fact that the exclusive event billed to hold at the elite Eko Hotels and Suites is strictly by invitation has set off high society in a frenzy as they bid to get ahold of the few invitation cards available. This is despite the fact that feelers indicate the choice of drinks will be somewhat limited as no alcohol will be served at the event.
This is however not enough to tone down the excitement that has been generated for the highly anticipated March shindig. Booze or no booze, men of renown and ladies of means are already gearing up for the big day.
