The Evolution of Traditional Wedding in Nigeria

Mrs Oluwabunmi M. Osiberu

Sinopsis

In my professional learnings and travels, I discovered a lot of young people (old alike) find the Nigerian wedding culture incomprehensible, despite its aesthetics. The culture, I believe, provides enduring legacies and memories for anyone that has experienced it. Having worked for hundreds of clients in my event's business as a celebrated Alaga (master of ceremony), I humbly offer, freely and willingly, my contribution to the traditional marriage literature. The book is a compendium of my professional experience, ideas, and understanding of what makes the Nigerian wedding party one of the world's most radiant and colourful events. I delved deeply into the beautiful institution of marriage and found the processes that make it a unique adventure. From the Yorùbá, Hausa to the Igbo and other sub-ethnicities, this book tells a story of their presence, how they are still valued and respected and the practices that have upheld their marital institutions. The book fills a literature gap in educational, socio-cultural and traditional institutions. Since marriage for generations, has only been a transferred knowledge without documented information that can help shape the ideas and knowledge bank of the future. Considering modernity, especially technology, this book reminiscence our traditional marriage cultural values. With many young people growing into marriageable ages, this book takes them around Nigeria and gives first-hand information on Nigeria's traditional marriages. From academics to Alagas, to event planners and MCs, families and many others, this book is the ideal Nigerian wedding encyclopedia, which offers meaning into our current existence. As the Nigerian wedding industry gets bigger and better, the need for theoretical illustrations of its practices has become imperative. Hence, this is a must-read book for all.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
The Colorado Kid by Stephen King centers on a puzzling mystery that unfolds on a small island off the coast of Maine. The story revolves around the unexplained death of a man known only as the "Colorado Kid," found dead on a beach with no identification. Two local newspaper editors, Vince Teague and Dave Bowie, investigate the case, which becomes a source of fascination and frustration for them. The narrative follows their attempts to piece together the events leading up to the man's death. The search for answers involves a series of improbable events, such as a cross-country journey in a very short time, and leaves the reader with more questions than solutions. The book explores themes of mystery, the nature of truth, and the way that people construct narratives. The story also emphasizes the idea that some mysteries are simply unresolvable, challenging the traditional structure of a story with a beginning, middle, and end.
