 The nation’s industrial and economic capital, Lagos was at its most vivacious on Saturday as the Nigeria football fraternity celebrated with Super Eagles and SS Lazio of Italy midfielder Eddy Ogenyi Onazi, who got married to his heart-throb, Sandra Osagioduwa Ogunsuyi.

 About a dozen Super Eagles’ players attended the impressive ceremony at the Faith Tabernacle in Lekki, with NFF President Amaju Melvin Pinnick, NFF 1^st Vice President Seyi Akinwunmi and Chairman of Technical Committee, Chris Green, also in attendance.

The Special Assistant (Sports) to Lagos State Governor Ambode, Mr. Adeyinka Adeboye, NFF’s Director of Communications Ademola Olajire, Super Eagles’ administrator Dayo Enebi Achor, Eagles’ media officer Toyin Ibitoye and Eagles’ equipment manager Godfirst Chike also graced the occasion.

The Super Eagles’ line –up included assistant Captain Ahmed Musa, Odion Ighalo, Kenneth Omeruo, John Ogu, Moses Simon, Brown Ideye, Anthony Ujah, Raheem Lawal, Obinna Nsofor and Sunday Mba.

The reception at the Ruby Gardens was preceded by a one –hour church service at Faith Tabernacle, at which the couple were exhorted to show love and understanding to each other at all times, and to value God’s word above things of the world.

Pinnick had earlier in the day, alongside Sports Minister Solomon Dalung, NFF Deputy General Secretary Emmanuel Ikpeme, Director of Finance Dadid Atabo and assistant technical directors Abdulrafiu Yusuf and Siji Lagunju, attended the eighth day fidau prayer for departed NFF Technical Director, Coach Shuaibu Amodu, in Surulere, Lagos.

At Lekki, the NFF boss charged Onazi to always provide for, project and protect his wife at all times, as he supervised the cutting of the cake. He had also attended Thursday’s traditional marriage of Eddy and Sandra in Benin City.

Ace stand –up comedian AY was supported by colleagues Pencil and Shakara, as the auditorium came alive when Ogenyi rolled back the years and played the piano with his band of old from the town of Jos taking centre-stage.

Atlanta, USA –based businessman and football enthusiast Victor Ugoh, introduced by the master of ceremony as Onazi’s godfather, led the way before the NFF and Super Eagles took over.

Also at the event were Atlanta ’96 Olympics gold medallist and former Super Eagles’ goalkeeper Dosu Joseph, former Super Eagles’ media officer and NFF marketing committee member Colin Udoh, top officials of the Italiam Embassy and members of the Italian community in Nigeria, and members of the Nigeria Football Supporters Club.
