Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) president, Ibinabo Fiberesima and husband Uche Egbuka tied the nuptial knots on December 18 and 19, 2014 at Okrika in Rivers State.
The 2-day wedding ceremony was a star-studded event that brought in several top movie personalities and socialites to the city of Port Harcourt.
Notable celebrities who were present at the event include Kingsley Kuku (Special Assistant to President Jonathan on Niger Delta), Ateke Tom, Ifeanyi Dike, Emmanuel Oguguah, Segun Arinze, Mr. Ibu, Patience Ozorkwor, Zeb and Chico Ejiro, Francis Duru, Tom Njemanze, Doris Simeon, Faithia Williams (Balogun), Andy Ike, Obehi Charles-Inojie, Toyin Aimakhu-Johnson, African China, Waconzy and others.
However, some notable Nollywood divas were conspicuously missing from the 2-day wedding ceremony. Some of the absentees include Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jolade, Tonto Dikeh, Rita Dominic, Stephanie Okereke-Linus, Chika Ike, Clarion Chukwura, Kate Henshaw, Rukky Sanda, Uche Jombo and Omoni Oboli.
Checks however revealed that Genevieve Nnaji has been out of the country for about a week now along with the Onwugbenu twins on a business trip, while Tonto Dikeh was in Lagos preparing for the Tonto Dokeh Foundation & Apapa Youth Association for the Apapa Cup scheduled for Saturday, December 20, 2014.
On her own, Stephanie Okereke-Linus was also away in Wales, UK where the private screening of her new movie, Dry just held while Chika Ike is also preparing for the premiere of her movie, Miss Teacher on December 20, 2014 in Enugu State.
Completing the list of top actresses who missed the event is Uche Jombo-Rodriguez who is resident in the United States of America while Clarion Chukwurah has been at loggerheads with Ibinabo for a while.
Surprisingly, they all didn’t make any mention of the wedding on their social media accounts except for Regina Askia-Williams who is Ibinabo’s very close pal who congratulated Ibinabo on Facebook.
