“From our humble and modest beginning” – Oba Elegushi celebrates 17th wedding anniversary with first wife
Popular Lagos monarch, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Kusenla 111, the Oba Elegushi of Ikateland has taken to his official Instagram account to gush over his first queen, Oloori Sekinat Aramide, as they celebrate their 17th wedding anniversary.
He shared throwback photos from their wedding in 2003 and wrote;
“On the 24th of May 2003, I got married to my darling Queen Sekinat Elegushi making it 17th years today. Which of the favours of Allah shall we deny? (Quran 55 vs 13)”
He continued;
“17years ago, when we started this journey, it was with mixed feelings; one, there was love, true love that existed between us; secondly, the anxiety that comes with two young minds deciding to live as one.
From our humble and modest beginning, we’ve come this far and gotten better and proven to the world that ours is an inimitable choice.
Join me in thanking my Olori for all she has been. I thank you for our amazing Angels; I thank you for the peace; I thank you for the love; I thank you for bringing finesse, panache and reverence to this Stool and the kingdom; I thank you for your firm belief in our collective dream.
Only you could have started and steered this ship.
I pray Almighty Allah will continue to keep us safe in love, sound in good health and successful in all our affairs, till forever.
Happy Anniversary to us.”
Oba Elegushi and Sekinat Aramide have been married for 17 years, and they have 3 kids together.
Two weeks ago, the Oba and his second queen, Olori Hadiza Yakasai, celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary.
