Although the wedding of Fatima and her pilot beau Jamil, son of former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Dikko Abubakar has come and gone, it is still a trending news as Fatima reportedly spent over N100 million on her wedding jewels.
It was gathered that as part of his wedding gifts to his third daughter Fatima, Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote did the jewel shopping himself and what Fatima wore to the high society wedding dinner were extra expensive pieces from the famous New York Jeweller, Harry Winston. Premier Precious Lace 18k Rose, gold and diamond ladies watch. It is part of the premier collection launched by the House of Harry Winston in 1989. It was said that the lavish jewelry was conceived to capture the konic codes of the famous New York jewelry brand.
Basic details of the watch are:
Movement:- automatic caliber-HW 2014,
Function:- extended hours and minutes,
Case material:- 18k Rose gold
Case dimention: 36 mm
Dial:- Blue mother of pearl dial with yellow mother of peal lace work featuring (35 marguise cut diamonds and 11 brilliant cut diamonds).

Fatima’s Elie Saab custom dress is between $25,000 and $50,000, that is between N9 million to N18 million excluding the pair of shoes. So, just for wedding dinner in Lagos alone, Fatima was N100 million plus in adornment. So if more than one billion naira went for this wedding alone, one would not doubt it.
The newly wedded couple who tied the nuptial knot on March 24,2018 are currently celebrating their love in what we call the grand finale of their six part event held in Lagos, Kano and Abuja.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
