Three Nigerian couples received N3 million each from Coca-Cola during surprise presentations at their wedding receptions, as the company marked its 75th anniversary in Nigeria.

Jennifer and Tunde were surprised at their reception in Lagos in July, where actress and media personality Bisola Aiyeola appeared before singer Chike performed for the couple and their guests. The presentation prompted cheers and an emotional reaction from the newlyweds.

A similar celebration followed in Port Harcourt a month later. Former Big Brother Naija housemate Tacha appeared at Princess and Godson’s reception, while singer Jonny Drille performed before Coca-Cola presented the couple with the cash gift. “We never planned for this,” the bride was quoted as saying.

In August, Aisha and Ahmed received the same gift at their wedding reception in Kaduna, where music artiste Ali Jita entertained guests. Coca-Cola said the initiative was designed to celebrate Nigerian weddings and their role in bringing families, friends and communities together.

The events also highlighted owambe culture, in which music, food, fashion and communal participation play a central role in wedding celebrations.

We never planned for this.
