March 03, (THEWILL)-Â The household of Chief Razaq Okoya was all bubbly this past weekend as it was the introduction ceremony of Aina Oluwakemi, his last child with the wife of his youth, Alhaja Kuburat Olayinka. As with all things that has to do with the Okoya family, the ceremony, which was supposed to be brief and lowkey, turned into a full-blown extravaganza with many top society figures gracing the occasion including two of his most prominent children; Biola Okoya and Moji Tejuosho. Aina’s husband to be is Adegboyega Bamisile, a Royal Prince from Omuo Ekiti in Ekiti State. He is a global diplomat, a United Nations Eminent Peace Ambassador. He is also an agricultural finance expert and an international commodities broker. Aina herself runs an upscale Chinese restaurant in Lagos called Flaky’s Kitchen.
Expectedly there was a lot to eat, drink and take away. Chief Okoya, a staunch Muslim, seems to be a very liberal man as he allows members of his household to follow any faith of their choosing as their conscience guides them. First it was his first child, Moji who converted to the Christian faith. Then Biola followed suit. His liberality was also evident at the ceremony as Aina showed off her Christian faith. While eulogising the attributes of her fiancée, she kept referring to him as her pastor. To further lend credence to this, gospel artist, Yinka Alayesori was on hand to thrill the soon to be wedded couple and their guests with sweet melodious tunes which they could not get enough of. Their traditional/engagement ceremony will be held soon.
