For music video romance last week, I selected Lynxxx's Fine Lady video, and threw out a small challenge. I put up that picture above as the clue and the correct answer came in with the first few comments. Since I promised to share some thing on this blog if that happened, this is me sticking to my word. I may not be a Fine Lady, but Atala is just as hunky as Lynxxx, without the pink hat :)
As it happens, Lynxxx is actually from Asaba, and the (akwa ocha) white cloth is sorta like our official traditional wear. I love that cloth and insisted I would use it for my first traditional wedding outfit. Since then I've seen it used in a few weddings of people from Asaba and Delta North in general. It looks great in Lynxxx's video and I'm proud of him for promoting our culture. I want to see more of that in other Nigerian videos.
Finally, I hear that Nsala and pounded yam is Lynxxx's favorite meal, that's also a gurantee to put Atala in a very good mood. Yes, my husband is a convert to the greatness that is Asaba. We're just too much. I hope no one would try to argue that :)
BTW, to all single ladies out there, I hear Lynxxx is single too. #thankmelater
Aww...I love love the first picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for fulfilling your promise :D
I'm yoruba, but I've always loved people from Delta. Weird, huh?
Not weird at all. We're cool people :)

ReplyDeleteAhhh...now I am blushing. Thanks :)
DeleteThis is very nice. I like that yours is "shine shine". lol.
ReplyDeleteI am marrying an asaba man in 6 weeks. My mum in law is getting my akwa ocha custom made for me. I wonder if she will kill me if I tell her I have changed my mind and want your design instead?
LOL...welcome to the family. 6 weeks is short o, don't give MIL premature grey hair :)
DeleteOOO Myne i LOVE your pics. My mother got me akwa-ocha for my wedding even though we are from onitsha. Mum is from Asaba though. I went the real trad way - double wrapper with a blouse and "ehulu" Coral Beads.
ReplyDeleteI love that you used yours to make an outfit. So trendy! The pic of you sitting on Atala's lap is so "Nollywoodish" hehehhehe i like.
LOL...thanks. My mum suggested the double wrapper, but I felt it would swamp my small frame. As for nollywood, you know I'm old school?
DeleteHi Myne:
ReplyDeleteLovely pics of you and Atala. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
DeleteBeautiful pictures Myne.
ReplyDeleteI also wore the akwaocha for my traditional engagement but without a blouse or head-tie just coral beads. I'm from Ibusa, close to Asaba....and pounded yam with Ofe-nsala is......madt!!!!!!
OMG...don't get me started on Nsala! LOL...I like the Akwaocha alone look too, looks great all the time.
DeleteMyne, as someone chopping from a Delta Igbo woman's put, I concur. Una too mush, and this is for every department. Who even tell u sey u no fine? abegi, make we hear word!
ReplyDeleteNow for anonymous 14, 2012 8:12 AM, I thought the name reverted back to it's original Ibuzor as against the "Ibusa" that the natives refused to pronounce.
Uncle Mazi, keep chopping o! It's pronounced "Ibuzor" but still spelt 'Ibusa'....that we have refused to pronounce. heheheee
DeleteIm an Issele Uku( Delta North) chic and you are so right...we ROCK!!!
ReplyDeleteWe really do :)
Delete@Mazi, you got it right.
Finally I get to see Atala!!
ReplyDeleteFine fine pipu.
Thank you o...Surely you've seen some other pics of him on here?
DeleteLove the pics!!!
ReplyDeletelovely!!! beautiful couple :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deleteahhhh Myne you did not kneel (with both knees) to give Atala his drink! *now taking the next flight*
ReplyDelete:p
LOL...in my white cloth? That akwocha is a cloth of dignity you know? LOL...
DeleteCongratulations! And shout out to Asaba people. (My mumsie's place!)And..ahem, Lynxxx is fine oooo! Thanks for the reminder ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how I missed this. Aunt Myne, we from Delta North are the greatest: am from Ezi and our Akwa ocha is really dignified and unique.
ReplyDeleteI recently saw the video and yes Lynxx is total eye candy.........
I love your traditional wedding pictures. You and your hubby look gorgeous together.
You're too much Myne. What a wonderful combination?
ReplyDeleteI love Fine Lady video too...especially where that small kid, Wizkid mounts the stage!
Oh, did I just say small kid? I mean the millionaire kid. :)
Myne, U and Ur hubby are just a perfect combination. mean while am from isele-uku aniocha north and we no dey ever carry last for our akwa acha dressing at all.....lol we always look very gorgeous in them.
