Old Wine Tastes Better…Bamanga Tukur’s Daughter, Jamila, Marries Adedoja

It’s amazing to see what great lengths a man would go and what infinite depths a soul would plunge, for the sake of love. For the sake of love, the triple pillar of the world severally transforms into a strumpet’s fool; apology to Shakespeare. And for the sake of love, many a bridegroom and bride have had their hearts ripped to shreds like a stray rabbit in the grasp of a starving wolf. And contrary to what the rumour mill may project, it was for love’s sake that the handsome Prof. Adedoja decided to remarry after he lost his beautiful wife years ago. Abuja listed like a cruise ship on the day Jamila, daughter of former PDP Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, married former Sports Minister, Prof. Taoheed Adedoja, in a classy wedding.

The ceremony started with a Nikkah on Friday 20th, after Jumat Prayer at Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse 2 Abuja. There, top notch politicians and businessmen gathered to celebrate with the couple. The reception followed immediately after the Nikkah at the same venue. Two days later, the former Sports minister hosted friends and family to a bigger reception in his hometown in Oyo. The event took place at the Civic Centre in Ibadan. The reception attracted the crème of Nigeria’s high society as friends of Adedoja and Bamanga Tukur trooped to Ibadan to rejoice with the couple.

However, Jamila’s marriage to Adedoja will be her second attempt at marriage. It would be recalled that she quit her first marriage in London, due to incompatibility with her first husband.

The marriage which produced beautiful kids eventually crashed despite friends and family’s heartfelt attempts to reunite Jamila and her first husband. Jamila is the product of Alhaji Bamaga’s relationship with his Calabar wife, Aminat. Tukur married Amina soon after she clocked 30. Rumour has it that he gave Jamila to Adedoja to cement their bond and friendship. It is an open secret that Bamanga Tukur is a mentor to Prof. Adedoja.
