Couple dancing into the arena!
For both the society and the individual involved, the solemnisation of marital relationship is always a welcome event at all times. This was demonstrated April 19th, 2025 when Gabriel Ella and Cynthia Mmaduekwe tied the nuptial knot at the Cyprian Ekwensi Arts and Culture Events Centre, Abuja.
The occasion came with its own frills and excitement as usual, especially the excited dancing steps of the couple or when the father of the bridegroom took the floor. It is not Intervention that you heard it from but Engineer Ejembi C. Ella did suggest the ‘when boys were boys’ paradigm with his dancing footwork.
Still at it!

The pictures and the memories should serve the couple an inexhaustible reservoir to keep drawing from as they get into married life.
Intervention captures the wedding in a few pictures that, in some ways, makes the most eminent sense to the key stakeholders. In this case though, the stakeholders is as diverse, cutting across Benue and Anambra states, meaning two different cultures and regions. In that cultural and territorial diversity lies the national significance of an otherwise private affair!
Beyond the cultural and territorial diversity, the INGO world in Nigeria is interested, that being Gabriel’s locale. Unfortunately, Intervention missed the bride’s parents taking the floor at the event!
