My beautiful sister Chimax, I am so happy to share in your joy as you get hitched to your beloved. Afam might just be the luckiest man on earth right now. Chiii baby, I will use this opportunity to appreciate you, first as a brilliant woman who knows exactly what she wants and goes for it. Time and time again, through observing you, I am inspired by the qualities that make you stand out and succeed - complete trust in God, relentlessness in pursuit, resilience, and having the right people around you. Then as a big sister - early memories of us fighting every other day as kids comes to mind 😂😂 I will just say thank God for growth because we have come a long way! Chii, thank you for always looking out for me and encouraging me, the picho picho gifts here and there, and most especially thanks for being so put-together that it makes life easier for people around you. In essence, thank you for being you ♥️♥️. As you set out to continue the rest and best of your life with Afam, I have no doubt that your home is blessed already. You both will flourish in this journey, complete each other, raise Godly and model children that will make me a proud Auntie. Finally, you will fulfill God’s purpose for your union together. Cheers to more laughter, milestones and joyful celebrations in the coming years 🥂💐 PS: Calling you Chiamaka ‘Igbokwe’ will take some getting used to sha. Afam you do this one!

I met Chiamaka in high school, but our friendship truly blossomed afterward and has remained strong to this day. She is a significant part of my life, and I am incredibly grateful for the bond we have built over the years, one rooted in genuine love and mutual respect. She is among the few people I can confide in about spiritual, emotional, and personal experiences, and I deeply cherish our friendship. I am overjoyed to celebrate one of the most beautiful days of Chiamaka’s life with her. My prayer for Chiamaka and her husband, Echezona, is a lifelong marriage filled with unconditional love, kindness, and unwavering support for one another. May their journey together be blessed with joy, laughter, and an abundance of God’s grace.

My Dearest Chiamaka Twelve years! Can you believe it? That’s twelve years of friendship, love, peacekeeping missions, necessary corrections, and well-calculated disagreements (because let’s be honest, we both like winning). We have shared a bed, a space, and an unbreakable bond, and somehow, we never ended up in a wrestling match—now that is true friendship! You are not just a friend; you are my sister, my confidante, my partner in crime, and my personal taunting target (which, by the way, remains a permanent position). Your transition to wifehood is just one part of your incredible journey, and I will go to any length to make sure that you continue to experience the best life has to offer. Your happiness is my happiness, your family is my family, and your joy is woven into the fabric of my own cherished experiences. Chiamaka, as you step into this new and beautiful chapter, I pray for God’s abundant blessings, joy, and endless love in your marriage. May it be filled with peace, laughter, and enough drama to keep things interesting (but not too much o!). Cheers to your new home, to more stepping stones, and to many more years of me laughing—not just with you, but at you (joking… kind of). Writing this made me teary, but I love you so much, my darling! You will always have a place in my heart, and nothing will ever change that. Congratulations, my forever friend and sister! 💖🥂

Chiamaka is one of my longest friends. My first memory of her was a girl who lost her home to fire, and was traumatised and hurt. I reached out to her to say sorry. Thereafter, they moved just a stone throw from my house and then the beautiful journey of friendship and sisterhood began. We first were classmates then extra lessons together but something was different about her. She was the kindest person I ever met. So feminine, soft spoken and focused. I admired her so much. She shared her novels, her toys (game boy), and taught me lots of songs (When You Believe). She was smart and so intelligent. We became besties, always having the never ending playdates. We saw everyday but time wasn’t enough. We went from her place to mine over and over until we decided to have a spot to say goodbye. We even twinned (had a dress code for each day). For every time I remembered her even after the distance came, it was with fondness and love. Every time I needed her, she came running with no holding back! She has never said no to me! You’ve been there in good and bad times and I’m forever grateful for the precious gift of you. I prayed for this day! I’m happy it came and I’m here to celebrate you. You are a blessing, a bright star and a light in the world. I pray you always stand out! May God bless you beyond words. Your home is blessed. You are a true child of God and a daughter of consolation. I’m grateful to have you in my corner. Enjoy your day baby girl. I love you forever ♥️♥️♥️

My Dear Ochubama, I can hardly believe this day has come!

I am beyond happy for you both and so proud of the lady you’ve become! 🥺🥺 Your love story is so soothing and it makes me so happy knowing you’ve found someone who was able to crack your “Hard geh hard geh”. 🤣 May your marriage be filled with endless love, laughter, and countless blessings.

Big congrats to you, Afam, and your Achalugo, on this special occasion. I remember the first time Afam told me about her after their first date, how she was not into doctors. That didn’t stop Afam because my guy knew what he wanted and with time he was able to show her that we doctors are actually a cool bunch of people and can make good spouses. It did take some patience, persistence and sprinkle of Odogwu movements to convince her but hey…look where that got us. A wedding! I have since watched your relationship blossom into something special and I am really happy for you both. Chi Chi, rest assured in Afam you have a wonderful man who is reliable, knowledgeable, kind, spiritual, supportive and above all a gooner. But then you already know all these - hopefully this marriage brings much needed luck to his now 2nd favourite love - Arsenal. (You have taken the number one spot - Kudos !!) I pray God blesses this union and grant you both a long happy, fruitful, prosperous and great marriage that would be an example to others. Enjoy your special day

Afam, on this joyous occasion, I'm happy to be celebrating you and your lovely wife, wishing you both endless love and laughter. Having known you for greater than 9 years, there are many attributes your wife is endlessly going to possess as her possession. You've been a meticulous young man, always paying attention to details, be it in dressing for instance, modeling those neat senior prefects in my secondary school with razor-ironed trousers. The time you accord to details most likely will encroach into *The Second Coming*, and you won't be raptured. Afam is neat, and neat to the core - something so essential for co-habitation in today's world that is full of Atịtị! Afam's knowledge isn't limited to medicine, he's vast in many areas necessary to kick-start and sustain conversations, and he's never a bore. Politically, he's on the world stage, and actively involved in local politics, so that ọ bụrụ na Ị na-atụ ụgā in a debate, ọ gwa gị nya straight up. 😀 More so, Afam na-akatakwanụ ụka, na-akachi ya ányá, maka na forces kalịị 😀 Conversely, dear wife, if Afam had all the good attributes in life, like all, it means The Messiah had come unbeknownst to us. A ga-eñwetụkwanụ ebe ọ ñwelụ rịkọm. Afam cannot dance, an established fact published in a journal. Just ask him to show you a video where he was "supposedly dancing" to Odumeje's "Powers". God bless you both! Amen.

Afam Finally, it's time Time to leave the streets. Time to beg for the screen on a night of Champions League final. Chiamaka has captured your heart ❤️ 'Sorry' 😄 I am happy for you guys. You have found someone to share your life with, someone to gossip with, someone to argue with, someone to share your TV remote control with, and someone to share everything with. Congrats. Chiamaka is definitely an incredibly lucky lady. Afam is about the most gentleman in my class (with a small touch of Nnewi). I have known Afam for almost 20 years. It is a jackpot, I can assure you. But you must be ready to support Arsenal FC. Congrats. I wish you guys the best of life together. May God bless your new home. Happy married life. Charles

It feels surreal that this day finally arrived. I was hoping you would join the papal ranks, so you could imagine my joy when you told me you found love. This takes me back to 2014, front of of Eko hospital, when we first had a chat and little did I know that you were going to be a big part of my family. You are an amazing chap and the best buddie and if you could transcend half of who I know you to be into your marital life, you would all have a blissful one. I should tell Chiamaka how excited you are when we talk about her and how this has been ongoing for the last few years. Does she know you have been crushing on her longer than we could say Jack Robinson? It is a beautiful life you both have together, and we are so proud to welcome you all to this esteemed arrangement of marital bliss. It is your wedding celebration today, a couple of years it would be child dedications, then silver anniversary and lots of memories. Que tu amor sea para siempre.

The Search is Over... It’s been an incredible journey knowing Afam over the last two decades. From the very beginning, his kindness, integrity, and unwavering loyalty have made him not just a friend, but a brother. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing his growth, his triumphs, and his unwavering commitment to being a stand-up guy in every sense of the word. Today, as Afam takes this beautiful step into marriage, I couldn’t be happier for him. He’s finally found someone who complements him perfectly—a partner who sees and appreciates the amazing person he is. Afam, as you tie the knot and commit to forever, I have no doubt that your marriage will be filled with love, joy, and endless blessings. If you continue to live by the same principles that have always defined you—kindness, honesty, and a heart full of love—your journey together will be nothing short of bliss. To Chimax, you’ve found a truly remarkable man. Afam is not just a loving and devoted partner but also someone who will always stand by your side, through every high and low. Together, I know you’ll create a lifetime of beautiful memories. Here’s to the beginning of an incredible new chapter. May your love grow stronger with each passing day, and may your life together be filled with laughter, understanding, and endless happiness.
