Two weddings. Two continents. Two Nigerian superstars.
<p>The same season gave us Davido saying “I do” in the United States and Mr. Eazi tying the knot in Europe. On paper, they’re just celebrity weddings. But in reality, they became two moving pictures of Nigeria’s identity playing out on the world stage.</p><p><br/></p><p>Davido’s wedding? Ah! That one was a full-blown carnival. Noise, glitter, fireworks, drama; everything you would expect from a man who has spent his career living out loud. The guest list was like a Nollywood script: politicians, artists, billionaires, even people you weren’t sure how they got there but somehow made sense. It was razz, raw, and unapologetic - a Lagos street party stretched across global TV screens. Davido didn’t just get married; he produced a blockbuster.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then came Mr. Eazi. If Davido’s ceremony was a drumbeat shaking the streets, Eazi’s was a violin playing in a candle-lit hall. Understated. Tasteful. Exclusive. His guest list was not about quantity but quiet quality; those whose very presence whispered influence and refinement. The whole affair was polished, elegant, and restrained, like sipping fine wine after a noisy feast.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now, here’s where it gets interesting: put these two weddings side by side and what do you see? Nigeria. In all its contradictions. Loud and vibrant one moment, calm and graceful the next. We are both carnival and ballroom, razz and regal, chaos and poise. And somehow, we pull it off without missing a step.</p><p><br/></p><p>The international press watched both weddings with fascination because deep down, they tell a bigger story: you can’t box Nigerians in. We are noise and silence, glitter and grace, flamboyance and finesse; all rolled into one unpredictable package.</p><p><br/></p><p>So, whether you were vibing to Davido’s fireworks or nodding in approval at Eazi’s quiet elegance, the truth remains: this is Nigeria. We don’t just celebrate. We perform. We don’t just marry. We showcase.</p><p><br/></p><p>And maybe that’s why, despite all our wahala, I can’t help but love this country. Because only Nigeria can turn two weddings into a masterclass on how to be razz and royal at the same time.</p>
