Hayford Alile’s moment of joy
Pic- Alile
Apostle Hayford Alile, the Chairman of Oceanic Bank Plc and
former Director General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, his
amiable wife, Patience, alongside their entire household had
a good reason to thank and magnify the good Lord recently.
The auspicious occasion was the solemnization of holy
matrimony between their lovely daughter Nosa and Dele, the
son of renowned broadcaster and advertising guru, Mr. Dele
Adetiba. The well-attended wedding was formalized at the
Alile’s family worship centre, St. Joseph Chosen Church of
God, Lekki, Lagos, while the lavish reception held at the
British International School, also situated in the same vicinity.
Dignitaries from all walks of life also graced the
reception and warmly felicitated with the newest couple and
their grateful families.
It was even glaring that both parents of the couple could
not hide their joy, and kept
smiling and thanking all for coming.
Also, it was obvious that even Dr. Clement Alile, apostle Hayford’s sibling and a former secretary to the Edo State
Government, who sat with the former governor of Akwa-Ibom
State, Obong Victor Attah, thoroughly enjoyed himself.
However, the majestic arrival and presence of the CEO of
Oceanic Bank Plc., Mrs. Cecilia Ibru, further lit up the
venue of the reception. She mesmerized all with her
intimidating dark goggles, which did not leave her eyes till
she left with her entourage.
Nosa, is a sociologist, while her husband is an economist
and they both live and work in Barack Obama’s country.
Timi Alaibe steps out in style
Pic- Timi and Gov Uduaghan of Delta State recently
Many friends of Mr. Timi Alaibe, the bereaved Managing
Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta
Development Commission (NDDC), are happy that the amiable
father of five, is gradually bouncing back to life after the
sad demise of Alaere, his wife of over two decades.
They were so excited to see the strong man of Bayelsa State
politics at the recent wedding of the daughter of Apostle
Hayford Alile, in Lekki, Lagos.
The still mourning Alaibe, whose philanthropic deeds is
legendary, did not only attend, but kept smiling and
exchanging hearty greetings and pleasantries with friends
and well wishers throughout his wondrous stay at the
reception ground.
As usual, he was swathed in a well-fitted and now famous
gray-coloured Niger Delta attire, (Resource Control), with a
matching black bowler hat, that helped in making him look
younger without any sign of mourning.
Meanwhile, it would be recalled that a strong delegation from the Presidency, which was led by
the Vice President, Dr. Jonathan Goodluck, recently paid the
widower a condolence visit in his Opokuma, Bayelsa State
country home.
