Actor Ibrahim Suleiman Sparks Debate with Shocking Revelation—Only 8% of Nigerians Earn Above ₦250,000 Monthly

In a dazzling union that merged culture, class, and emotion, popular Nigerian singer Oritsefemi experienced what many parents long for — watching his beloved daughter walk down the aisle, not just in any city or town in Nigeria, but in the heart of Lithuania, in a ceremony that echoed opulence, intimacy, and heritage. It was a proud dad moment that didn’t just tug at the heartstrings of family and friends in attendance but set social media abuzz with admiration, envy, and emotional tributes.

The ever-charismatic singer, known for hits like “Double Wahala” and “Igbeyawo”, looked every bit the proud father as he held back tears watching his daughter say “I do” in a ceremony that was nothing short of breathtaking. The venue, located on the picturesque outskirts of Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital city, looked like a page torn from a fairytale book, adorned with soft white florals, amber lights, and a soft Lithuanian sunset that gave the entire event a golden hue. Friends, family, and notable guests, including a few of Oritsefemi’s celebrity colleagues, turned out in tasteful elegance to witness the emotional celebration of love.

Photos and video clips from the ceremony quickly made their rounds on the internet, showing a visibly emotional Oritsefemi embracing his daughter after the vows were exchanged. For a man who has lived a good portion of his life in the spotlight — sometimes for his music, sometimes for controversies — this moment showed a softer, more vulnerable side that resonated deeply with fans across the globe. Many took to Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok to share their own feelings about the moment, with comments like “Father goals!”, “Oritsefemi, you did well!”, and “What a blessing to see your child get married in such style!”

Dressed in a custom-tailored traditional agbada infused with modern flair, Oritsefemi stood tall with regal presence. His grey beard was trimmed to perfection, and his eyes glistened as he walked his daughter down the aisle, the duo briefly stopping to smile for the cameras. The bride herself was a vision of elegance. Her gown, a European-inspired design with subtle African accents, shimmered with hand-embroidered pearls and lace. Her radiant beauty was matched only by the joy in her eyes as she looked up at her father and later at her groom.

The groom, a Lithuanian-born businessman with ties to international commerce, reportedly met Oritsefemi’s daughter while she was studying in Europe. The couple has kept much of their relationship under wraps, preferring to build their love story privately. Their wedding, however, was a statement to the world — love transcends borders, race, and culture. The ceremony itself was conducted in both English and Lithuanian, with a few Yoruba prayers and blessings woven into the mix, paying homage to the bride’s heritage.

One of the standout moments of the evening came during the reception, when Oritsefemi took to the stage, not as a guest, not even as a performer, but as a father. With a microphone in hand and emotions brimming, he spoke directly to his daughter and new son-in-law. His speech, which included stories from her childhood, moments of pride, and fatherly advice about marriage, had the entire room — and later the internet — in tears. He capped it off with a brief a cappella rendition of “Mercies of the Lord”, one of his iconic hits, which many interpreted as a heartfelt blessing for the newlyweds.

Social media influencers, media houses, and even international tabloids caught on to the buzz quickly. Within hours, hashtags like #OritsefemiDaughterWedding, #LithuaniaLove, and #ProudDadMoment were trending in Nigeria and parts of Europe. While some focused on the elegance of the ceremony, others praised Oritsefemi for raising such a graceful and grounded daughter, especially considering his sometimes tumultuous public image.

Though Oritsefemi has faced his fair share of controversies over the years — from relationship drama to disputes with fellow artists — moments like these reveal a man with deep emotional roots, a family-first mentality, and a heart full of love for his children. The wedding also served as a subtle reminder that public figures are multi-dimensional — capable of growth, transformation, and profound love.

Sources close to the family revealed that the bride, Oritsefemi’s first daughter, had long been planning a low-key wedding, but after months of persuasion from her father, agreed to let him plan something more elaborate. “He wanted the world to see his joy,” a friend said. “And it wasn’t about the glam. It was about celebration, about legacy, about honoring a child’s next chapter in life.”

Guests were treated to a fusion of African and European cuisines, with jollof rice, suya, Lithuanian beetroot soup, and honey cake being some of the highlights. The DJ kept the guests on their feet with a blend of Afrobeat, classic R&B, and Lithuanian pop hits. At one point, Oritsefemi even led a group of guests in a spirited dance to his hit song “Double Wahala”, much to everyone’s delight.

The Lithuanian setting added a unique layer of romance to the affair. With its cobblestone streets, baroque architecture, and serene countryside, it provided the perfect backdrop for a wedding that was equal parts royal and relatable. Locals were reportedly curious about the influx of Nigerian guests, and some even stopped to take photos with Oritsefemi and other celebrities spotted around Vilnius during the wedding weekend.

For many Nigerians watching from home, the wedding was more than just a glitzy event; it was a moment of cultural pride. Seeing one of their own, a man from Ajegunle who worked his way to national stardom, escort his daughter into a promising new chapter in a European country felt like a triumph for every father, every parent who has ever sacrificed, loved, and hoped for the best for their children.

Reactions poured in from across the entertainment industry as well. Artists like 9ice, Sound Sultan’s widow Farida Fasasi, and Kcee congratulated Oritsefemi publicly. “This is the kind of joy that makes all the hustle worth it,” wrote actress Iyabo Ojo on her Instagram story alongside a clip from the wedding. Others used the occasion to reflect on the fleeting nature of time, how children grow up so quickly, and how important it is to be present for the special milestones.

In the days following the wedding, Oritsefemi shared a few more snapshots from the event, accompanied by simple captions like “My princess is now a queen” and “God did.” His posts were flooded with congratulatory messages, especially from fans who have followed his career from its early days to the present. Many called him a role model, not just for his music, but now for his role as a father.

The event also sparked conversations about destination weddings among Nigerian families, with many pointing to the Lithuania ceremony as a dream-worthy example of what it means to blend cultures while celebrating love. Travel agencies, wedding planners, and international vendors all noted an uptick in inquiries in the days following the viral posts from the event.

While the music scene may know Oritsefemi as the “Musical Taliban,” his daughter’s wedding showed another side — a tender-hearted, devoted father whose love for his children is as fierce as his stage presence. It was a moment that transcended genre, reputation, and even national borders. In that brief, beautiful weekend in Lithuania, Oritsefemi wasn’t just a singer or celebrity. He was Dad. And that title, in that moment, outshone all others.

As his daughter and her new husband begin their journey together, many will remember the images of Oritsefemi — standing tall, smiling through tears, holding his daughter close — as proof that love, family, and joy are still very much alive in our world. In a time when headlines are often filled with turmoil and division, this one gave everyone a reason to smile. And maybe even dream a little.

And so, from the bustling streets of Lagos to the scenic avenues of Lithuania, Oritsefemi’s proud dad moment wasn’t just a personal milestone — it was a global celebration of love, legacy, and the quiet, powerful joy of seeing one’s child bloom.
