7 Nigerian Billionaires Expected at Davido’s Wedding Today.

Today, the bustling city of Lagos is abuzz with excitement as Afrobeats sensation Davido and his long-time partner, chef Chioma Rowland, prepare to tie the knot in a traditional wedding ceremony. 

Having shared their journey from friendship to romance over two decades, the couple recently ignited social media with their wedding announcement, using the hashtag #CHIVIDO2024.

The news of their traditional wedding broke after the couple’s intimate court wedding last March. The traditional ceremony, scheduled for today, would be about love, resilience, and family, following the couple’s triumph over past hardships, including the heartbreaking loss of their son, Ifeanyi, in 2022.

The anticipation for today’s event has been building for weeks, ever since Davido confirmed the date in a viral video, urging friends and family to “Come to Nigeria for my wedding.” Here are some Nigerian billionaires that could grace the occasion.

Aliko Dangote

As Africa’s richest man and a long-time friend of Davido’s father, Aliko Dangote’s relationship with the Adeleke family spans decades. Known affectionately as ‘Uncle’ by Davido and revered as a ‘big brother’ by Davido’s uncle, Dangote’s presence reflects the enduring bond between the families.

Femi Otedola

Another titan of industry, Femi Otedola is best friends with Dangote and likely shares connections with the Adeleke family through this close association.

Tony Elumelu

A renowned philanthropist and businessman, Tony Elumelu’s connection with Davido was highlighted when the singer was invited to Elumelu’s daughter’s 21st birthday. This gesture of mutual respect and friendship likely means Elumelu will be among the esteemed guests today.
