Lilian Esoro & Ubi Franklin are Cute in Igbo Attire for their Traditional Marriage Rites
Accompanied by his family, friends and industry colleagues (of course), Ubi Franklin is performing traditional rites at actress Lilian Esoro‘s family home in Magodo, Lagos today. Guests include Gbenro Ajibade, DJ Jimmy Jatt and Yomi Casual.
Of course we’ve been following the couple throughout their wedding journey – see their introduction here, pre-wedding photo shoot here, court wedding photos here and Lilian’s star-studded bridal shower photos here.
According to their invitation, the full traditional wedding (a reception), is happening on Sunday November 1, in Lekki, Lagos.
Be on the lookout for official and exclusive photos on BellaNaija Weddings.
Here’s the groom in Igbo attire, as his bride Lilian is from the East. He also wrote some Igbo on his page –
Kamje kporo nwunyem”

which one is this again? Chai i am tired finish
Ii guess we should expect Thank You Ceremony before and after and all, abi
e don do
You two should save all the imaginary monies you have for your first home and your future kids private education, instead of trying to show off and proof a point with all the fake friends , when its all so clear even blind stevie wonder can see it.
Abegiiiiii

Introduction 2. Court Marriage (Registry) 3. Traditional marriage 4. Bridal shower 5. Then d white wedding coming up.. I guess hers is almost back 2 back.. God know I shall be spilting mine esp if I have to travel between d States & Nigeria for all this events LOL.. I don’t care so much for Ubi but Lilian is beautiful ( I know a kill’ about her).. Let’s just say maybe nothing.. But she seems to be on d calm side.. BIG CONGRATS to y’both @ BN post more pix Una dey slack ooo & for NOV 1st y’all better post the pix asap..

My sister, the truth is that most Nigerians don’t like it when you are doing well.

These people post on “their” Instagram accounts.
BN goes to “their” Instagram accounts and take the pics. So I don’t understand your beef with the couple, rather beef BN for always posting their pics. It’s not their fault is BN keeps posting their pics, it’s their Instagram, they can post all their marriage pics of the want.

Out of the Million and one couple whose marriages are working out there, you chose to use the Okoyes. Girl STOP IT.
It’s either you are one of the Okoyes/Family member to the Okoyes OR you are simply ignorant of the infidelity in those households. ***Hisss***
Cynical
October 30, 2015 at 8:38 pm
Bros or sis,this your half and half gist ,is it good???? Ehn,see me salivating for gist and you just left me high and dry. Infidelity????? Say whatttt????
Bosslady
October 30, 2015 at 9:41 pm
Lmaooo. INFIDELITY??? Oya prove it na! Aunty/Uncle where is thy evidence? cos I’m with mine to prove why I put their names there. Maybe you are one of the likes of Elshama and co) who fasted and prayed to be Peter/Paul’s wife/Brother-in-law. You don enter one chance :-P. Sorry Sweerie.
JUST DO ME A FAVOUR=> GERARAHERE!!!

October 30, 2015 at 10:34 pm
Hahahahaha. @To Bosslady. Abeg come here and spill the beans o. It is obvious that the person @bosslady is OBVIOUSLY one of the Okoyes. Why would you give us half gist like that na.
@Bosslady but she didn’t mention any side chicks name, dear “okoye wife”, shebi na you dey mention Elshama and Co’s names. Hmm. From your comment, I can feel your voice shaking. You all need to calm down dear Okoye representative. Go and meet ya hubby.

Bosslady, nwanyi ahia ogwumabiri, o no na ulo mara ahia oma na ahia ojio, Madam Koi koi’s last born! I dey hail oh!
How do you know that Peter and Lola are still in love? How do you know Paul and Anita have a happy marriage? Oh! I forgot! Because they post pictures loved up pictures on I nstagram once in a while, (just like Ubi and Lillian do)? However, being the fake witch that you are, you were able to decipher from these photos, which couple has a ” good relationship” and the couple that is trying to make their ” disaster headed” relationship the “talk of the town”.
Lest I forget, has your diarrhea started because I said a prayer on your behalf.

Sunday See essay writing, lmfao. Yet when you enter exam hall you will begin to chop your biro. UBI AND LILIAN’S WWE. Hahaha
Which loved up pics on Instagram? The one that comes once in a while abi? Hahaha. The Okoyes keep their private life off the media cos they know that bad belle people like you are praying silently for their marriages to crash.
JOKE SILVA AND OLU JACOBS.
PETER AND LOLA OKOYE.
PAUL AND ANITA OKOYE.
OMOTOLA AND CAPTAIN E.
Even DR SID AND SIMI. E.t.c Those are the Super and Power Couple in the Entertainment Industry.

Why the bitterness. Knower of who has a good or bad marriage. You are single ehnnn, and probably sexually frustrated, don’t know why ur having high BP over peeps that don’t know you. Pls hug ur pillow and sleep, seems you need a hug. Can’t stand ppl who bad mouth ppls marriages they know nothing about.

Any hater that will come here to spill rubbish and venom, may diarrhea be your portion throughout this weekend and the weekend after….iseeee!
Disclaimer: I don’t know this couple personally but it is obvious someone or people out there have an online agenda to ruin their happiness so I have decided to be a volunteer voltron for them today online.

I swear I’m not hating but I thought they’ve finished doing all their weddings? This is like the 4th post on them. HML

October 30, 2015 at 6:40 pm
Let’s see. They had the following:
1. Introduction
2. Pre-wedding engagement shoot
3. Bridal shower
4. Now, traditional marriage rites.
I don’t see what is so different between theirs and other couples. Some of you are just spiteful and mean for no reason. So you want them to not have intro, or pre-wedding rites, abi bridal shower and engagement shoot so some of you people can sleep at night?
Abegi, go and rest jare. When it’s your wedding, you can skip out on everything and just have a church ceremony but if Ubi and Lilian want to do 10 events before their wedding, #Isityourmoney?

God bless the bride and groom,if they like they will renew vow every yr sef, it’s dere money……..last I checked they didn’t ask anyone for donations.Majority of people leaving dese bad comments are single, I bet 100percent on that. Don’t worry ehnn Sunday is fast approaching, I know you have seats kept at MFM and various mountains tops. Don’t worry ur own husband will come soon. Pls keep doing the 365days dry fast. Try and relax and stop hating on ppls happiness. Life is beautiful……………

Some people are outright ridiculous. What is it that they have done that is out of the ordinary? Is it the pre-wedding shoot, or the introduction? Abi na court or trad wedding? Which is it biko? I want to understand where the bitterness and anger is stemming from. Aren’t these the steps many other couples take? Abegiiiii, you haters should just park jeje to one corner.
Lillian is slaying the trad look. I’m in love with the white.

They did the introduction
The court marriage
Pre wedding shoot
Bridal shower
The traditional rite
The traditional marriage/reception
The church wedding
The reception

So that’s one hell of an ocassion! The bride must be tired by now.
