The traditional wedding ceremony took place on Thursday, September 3, 2026, at The Five Palm in Lekki, Lagos, in a richly decorated indoor setting filled with music, dancing, and Yoruba cultural rituals.
Governors, political leaders, and business moguls were among those who witnessed the union, underscoring the social weight that the Egukawhore name carries in Nigeria.
Who is Dr Oghenekome Egukawhore?
The groom is the son of High Chief (Dr) Emonena Victor Wayles Egukawhore, chairman of De Wayles Group of Companies and a well-known billionaire businessman from Delta State.
The Egukawhore family's prominence was on full display throughout the ceremony, which was captured in professionally filmed footage by popular Nigerian blogger Gbaramatu Voice.
The event followed traditional Yoruba wedding customs, including the removal of the groom's bachelor cap and the crowning of his bride, the handing over of Tolulope from her family to the groom's parents, and the exchange of rings blessed by the officiating minister.
The celebrant led the business mogul's son and his partner through blessings and declarations, praying for a lasting union, godly children, and a life free from separation.
In a warm moment, Tolulope publicly called her new husband her best friend, her king, and, to laughter from the room, her ATM.
A proposal letter, read aloud by a sibling of the bride named Bianca, formally requested the Spencer family's blessing for the union between Dr Oghenekome and Tolulope, describing the bride as someone who embodies "brain, beauty, and humility that are rare."
