Yakubu & Yvonne
Super Eagles and Everton striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni married Yvonne Lameen Ikhana last week.
“When I wake up everyday, I look at her face and she makes me happy. I go for training and play my matches with happiness in my heart. That is the motivation that makes me perform well. She often tells me: ‘Just go there and play well and score for me.’ That gives me more confidence and belief in myself,” Yakubu said after the marriage ceremony. Eagles’ striker and Yakubu’s team-mate at Everton, Victor Anichebe, was the Best Man at the historic wedding ceremony that Captain Nwankwo Kanu and his wife, Amarachi also attended.
Kanu praised Yakubu’s decision to ‘settle down’ and urged the couple to show love and commitment to their marriage vows.
Retired skipper of the Eagles, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha took time out to felicitate with Yakubu and Yvonne.
“It’s good that Yakubu is married now. I wish him and his wife a happy married life,” Okocha said.

Pink wedding dress? now thats unusual!

wow. . . .I'm fourth, I'll like to thank ma mummy and daddy for the inspiration.
On the real, everywhere I look now, there are wedding pictures and websites *wow*. . . . Love is Sweet o
Kudos to their love! Their fashion choices... not so much!
Love is definitely in the air in naij!!! i dunno about the pink wedding gown though...
What's up with the pink dress...very odd.
Aww, loving the tall cake. Thanks Bella for the post.
Nice pink dress....
Yakubu's wife gown is beautiful
phoenix child looks as irritating as she sounds on radio.
Congratulations to the new couples. Conjugal bliss!
Did she wear a pink wedding dress in 9ja...Yippie! There is hope for my friend , whose mother-in-law asked her to take her "off-white kinda gold" dress back for something very white.
Congrats to the happy couples :).
First time of me see-ing gele tied on someone's head with the bang left out in front. It just doesn't look right. She shouldn't have left it out. Also wasn't feeling the pink wedding dress. I guess she wants to be different from everyone else. But sometimes being over creative doesn't work out . . . .
whats with kanu's wife ... looking so different from the last i saw of her . I hope she's ok
wendu
Loving the pink wedding dress. When I was younger, I use to watch Coming to America all the time and cuz Lisa had that Pink Wedding dress, I vowed I would have a one too!lol
i dont think the pink wedding dress was a cool idea. i dont knw if it was abt the color or it did not just suit her. anyway the other bride looked lovely. wish dem the best
I reserve my comments, but hope they got professional pictures taken.
Nice couples.
BTW,
Bella I am going to be in Nigeria for my brothers wedding next week and would also be attending the "Thisday event" on Sunday.
'law.
All the best to the love birds.
nigerian weather...lol
Phoenix' hair looks cheap.
I think its too exagerrated though they are preety but my motto is LESS IS MORE
AFRICA WITH STYLE
WHY DOES KANU LOOK ANGRY OR SAD

doesn't wearing pink for your wedding mean that u r pregnant or something?
wetin consine agbero wit overload.una too dey like drink medik55 for anoda man headdick.
she liked the pink wedding dress enough to wear it on her big day.it really doesn't matter whether anyone likes it or not
Sassycassie
Wow . Did she borrow the buba from someone? The material looks ????? Enuf said
Happy Married Life to both couples!
About Phoenix's hair it looks so fake. Why cant women wear their natural hair when they are getting married. I would not want to see my wife looking like a Japanese doll with her fake hair.
Then on the wedding night they are making mad passionate love and the fake hair gets in your mouth and you cant even run your hands through it cos it will like rubbing your hands on sandpaper.
LOL and very loud
been trying my hardest not to comment on Kanu's wife! but what is up with her? pls i hope it was just a bad angle.
The pink wedding dress- i guess whatever rocks her boat
1. pheonix didnt get anything right for her big day. hate the hair,hate the dress, hate the buba, hate the bridesmaids dresses...the whole shebang...its all so wrong. & yes she sounds rily horrible on air(yes i rmba).
2. wetyn do amarachi nwankwo? her hair does nothing for her, her husband sef looks retarded with that hair...wats up with them???????
3. nkechi okocha always looks on point...ALWAYS.Shes's the victoria beckham of naija.
That said, tnx bella 4 kippin me abreast with naija happenings. hhhaaaaa
1.pheonix didnt get anytin right for her big day. hate the dress, hate the hair, hate the buba, hate the bridesmaids outfits, the whole shebang lokks realy tacky. & yes she sound really horrible on air.
2. wetyn do amarachi nwankwo? the hair no try, in infact the whole pic sef no try.her husband looks retarded with his hair like that.
3.nkechi okocha always looks on point...she is the victoria beckham of nigeria.
That said...thnx bella for keeping me up to date with naija news.
Kanu's wife looks like she's suffering from Down Syndrome....LOL...okay, okay, that was a little mean...lol..but on some real "ish" ol' girl looks like something is up with her. With that said...
About Ms Phonenix, i really think folks should take a chill pill jare, if she chooses to wear BLOOD RED on her wedding day, then its her freaking prerogative!!! Last i checked, i don't think anyone had the right to tell u what to wear on your big day, if u don't quite fancy the dress, or the hair i suggest u look the other way....it ain't like your ass is paying for the wedding so exactly what is "YOUR OWN"....that is just silly mehn, folks going on and on about stuff that doesn't affect them...and if i may add, some y'all probably looked worse on your wedding day or didn't even have a bloody wedding at least she had one, regardless of how "cheap" it might be for your vain, shallow minded, fake selves.
BTW, Bella, those pics u put up of the couple aren't exactly flattering, so i do understand why folks are making these anal comments. I love your blog to death... and i must confess, i expected more, i doubt if the couple are cool with the pics u chose to put up, but then again i might be wrong so i'll refrain from making any assumptions. I still love your work though...i am just a tad bit disappointed.

YOU THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE OR FUNNY TO LIKEN SOMEONE TO "DOWN SYNDROME"?
AND I GUESS IF OLD GIRL WAS BALD AS AN EAGLE,YOU MIGHT THINK IT FUNNY TO SAY SHE HAS CANCER RIGHT??
NA WA FOR THE LENGTHS SOME PEOPLE WILL GO IN CATCHING JOKES SHA...
@beezyminx....
err hun you DO know that because a woman is married to a footballer does not confer on her victoria beckham status right?
na yam,please let us be trying to be chilling when we passing comments ehn...the comparison is too far fetched.
nkechi looks nice but NOTHING compared to victoria in the styles stakes--i can pick TEN other random "society girls/women" AT THE DROP OF A DIME WHO WILL FLOOR HER(NKECHI)IN THE STYLES STAKES.

dat comment about kanu's wife was not "a lil mean", it was downright nasty and unnecessary......
we all have off days...its no biggie!
and d nerve of u to talk about folks not liking phoenix's pink dress? which is worse...at least they criticised a DRESS while u totally put someone down....
find other ways to express your sens e of humour. dat was absolutely in bad taste!
For me, both brides look beautiful! Phoenix expressed her individuality with a pink dress, it might not have been everyone's pick but as long as she and her husband were happy with it. Tht's what important. Besides, there have been stunning brides with effed marriages. I pray that God blesses both their marriages AMEN
Yeah as per the pics, not the usual quality that I strike for. Wish they had been professional pics but thought it was worth sharing.
Bella Naija delivers the goods as usual. Well done!
I have nothing against phoenix but she looked a mess! People get married only once mayne.. Strive to look your best that's all I have to say.. Bangs are very hard to pull off. That being said I wish them a happy and fruitful marriage.
How long was yakubu dating yvonne before they married??
