My Country, My Pride... My Culture, My Identity...Proudly Nigerian

1. CELEBRATION OF A TYPICAL
AFRICAN WEDDING
Nigeria, my homeland, of which I am very
much proud of, is a land full of beauty and
intelligence. Like any other country, we have had
our share of horrible pasts of war and violence
with even the present fight against terrorism at
its core. However, we are an optimistic set of
people who believe there is always a silver ling
somewhere in the clouds, all it takes is patience
and perseverance.
I would like to use the collection of these
Nigerian wedding pictures to talk about my
fascination about a typical Nigerian Wedding. In
my photos, I use modern day style of celebration which is slightly different from what use to be in
the pre-colonial period.
Happy Viewing…

6. “ASO EBI” STYLE
The term “Aso Ebi” is a general name given to clothes that have been selected to wear on the
Wedding day. This selection could be amongst friends of bride and groom, the parents of the
couple, association they belong, etc.
This clothing is a very typical signage in any Nigerian wedding because it shows solidarity for the
couple and also acts as color perfection to the bride’s attire.
Once again, I present a collection of colorful Aso Ebi attires that added color and beauty to the
wedding of the couple mostly the bride. However, the guys are not excluded in this as it popularly
percieved that only ladies wear Aso Ebi.
Enjoy the beauty…
