Wedding Party
Busola Victory
Bride
Victory is Godâs poetry in motion. A woman whose life radiates grace, discipline, and unwavering faith. She is the gentle force that stands with quiet confidence, the embodiment of the Proverbs 31 woman, and a living testimony of Godâs intentional craftsmanship. Her journey reflects excellence marked by consistency and dedication. She holds two masterâs degrees from the University of North Texas: an MS in Business Analytics plus an MS in Business Administration, where she received the Deanâs Award for Most Outstanding Graduate Student and distinguished herself in the 3-Minute Thesis competition as a finalist and Peopleâs Choice leader. She earned her Bachelorâs degree in Business Administration from Covenant University. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Leadership, Policy & Strategic Development at Lipscomb University, preparing to shape transformative leadership and global impact. Beyond academia, Busola serves honorably in the United States Army, where she completed Basic Combat Training, graduated as a Distinguished Honor Graduate at the Quartermaster School, and serves as a Unit Supply Specialist. Above titles and achievements, she is a minister, a worshipper, an intercessor, and a servant-leader whose heart beats passionately for God. In her, brilliance meets humility, purpose meets beauty, and faith meets fun (winks)! Victory is Godâs intentional gift, the answer to my prayers whispered long before we met, and the partner my destiny has always waited for.
Abayomi Emmanuel
Groom
Absolute nerd đ , with a big heart for God and his people, intelligent yet humble! I introduce to you Dr. Abayomi Opadele.
Ebube Ezeugwa
Best Woman
Ebube is my one and only Personal Assistant! I knew Ebube from undergrad (she was a friend of my roommate). I saw her step in at my church in Texas sometime in February 2022, and itâs been a wonderful ride. Ebube was my right/hand woman during my MBA and for my 25th birthday last year. It felt fair that sheâs the chief bridesmaid! đ
Dr. Precious Opadele
Best Man
My baby brother, the handsome Aanuoluwapo! Aside from family relations, Precious has transitioned from a brother into a confidant. He is a smart and dutiful young man with ancient wisdom! And I often drink from his wealth of wisdom. Precious has honed his skills in Global Health after completing his graduate studies at the University of Bedfordshire. He is a Public Health Officer with the Central Bedfordshire Council in the UK, and he plans to be my best man for the day (we are trusting that his visa will be approved...fingers crossed)! Please help me welcome the Astounding Dr. Precious Opadele.
Dr. Maruf Adewole
Groomsman
I have known this amazing friend, who has become a brother, for about a decade. We have come a long way from the days of the College of Medicine, IdiAraba, Lagos. Maruf is one of the resourceful, enterprising, and optimistic young men I have come in contact with. He is also a sounding board of wisdom for me, and he is truly dynamite. After his PhD, he moved to the Perelman School of Medicine (University of Pennsylvania) as a Postdoctoral Scholar in Artificial Intelligence + Medical Imaging. Don't be surprised if he becomes the President of Nigeria someday...lol Please help me welcome the Talented Global Scientist, Dr. Maruf Adewole.
Crystal
Bridesmaid
I met Crystal at church in Texas. I have watched her grow in Christ and maintained a position of assistant head usher after I graduated. She is a young adult leader, a woman of God, and a lovely sister in Christ!
Dr. Sunday Olatunji
Groomsman
He is a true definition of Powerful Brother. Our paths first crossed at Babcock University, Nigeria where we both served as Assistant Lecturers. After his PhD, he relocated to East-Central Africa (Rwanda) to lecture and make impact. By God's divine orchestration, we reconnected again here on Vanderbilt Campus (Nashville) where he is Postdoctoral Scholar at the Vanderbilt Brain Institute. Dr. Sunday is an admirable and good man. A sound intellectual and a friend indeed. Every time we meet, he is always teaching me about neurons and synapses! And always asking me to get married...lol Please help me welcome the Star Neuroscientist (Profđ), Dr. Sunday Olatunji.
Jennifer
Bridesman
Jennyyyyy! I remember us running around to get items for the feeding of the homeless over two years ago! đ Jenny is also from the church in Texas and is a wonderful sister in Christ. I have watched her growth in evangelism and a deeper relationship with God. Such a hard worker with a big heart!
Evans Kwame
Groomsman
I call him Pastor Evans. Though he doesn't wear a collar, he wears a cloak of grace for youth ministry. I met Evans at my local church here in Nashville, where he leads and heads the student fellowship at Fisk University. He is a Computer Science major at the same institution, and I am proud to call him brother. Evans doesn't talk much, but when he has a mic, the lion in him roars! Additionally, his humility is unparalleled! Please help me welcome the Illustrious Evans Kwame!
Chideraa Apakama

Chideraa Apakamaâ© , my latest girlfriend in Nashville. While Chidera is now an Ohio girl (currently pursuing her Master's in Nursing), she is still my friend from Nashville. Super simple and easy going! I love her so much!
Toye Oyedeji
Groomsman
My Fiancée adores him so much and I do too! He has a gentle spirit and we connected the first time we met at Nashville airport. I love that he sometimes mixes Yoruba with his American accent, which depicts his authenticity. Toye carriers a grace for teenagers and he is a professional mechanical engineer working with ExxonMobil at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He is also a fine and excellent young man too...winks! Please help me welcome the Incredible Toye Oyedeji!
