A 107 year old man could just enter into the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest man in Nigeria to wed a 95 year old bride.
The wedding ceremony
of a 107 year old man, Dikam Garba Dabo'ok to Ka Natong in Mangu local
government area on Plateau State, came to many as a surprise and may
well be the most talked about ceremony for a long time to come.
For the records, Dikam Dab'ok and his bride are not new lovers having been married traditionally for 65 years.
Ka
Natong is said to be the last woman standing of the old man's seven
wives and with his new status as a born again Christian and an elder in
the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), Dikam Dabo'ok feels it is right
to finally wed the woman the Christian way, after realising that he has
been living in sin all those past years.
The
wedding ceremony turned out to be a carnival as the children, some of
whom have grand-children of their own, turned out in style to give their
father a befitting wedding gift.
