Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known in music circles as Davido, has announced plans for his white wedding with his long-time girlfriend turned wife, Chioma.
The ‘Skelewu’ crooner, who made the disclosure during an interview on The Breakfast Club, said that his white wedding with Chioma will take place in Miami this August.
He also noted during the question and answer session how family factors typically play a major part in African unions and contrasted Nigerian marital practices with those in the United States.

Davido said; ‘‘Back home, the culture in some households is, for example, a lot of men grew up with their mum so she’s everything. You know those kinds of households that even if they get married, they can’t leave their mum, she must be in the house. So anything the husband does right or wrong, she’s supporting the husband.
The musician also reflected on the cultural differences between Nigerians and Americans, saying that in Africa, women always support their daughters, while in America, it is just the man and the woman when they get married, unlike in Nigeria, where you never leave family.
‘‘That’s the mentality in Nigeria: the same thing is for women; they must always support their daughters. Meanwhile in America, it is just the man and woman when they get married. In Nigeria, you never really leave that family. Have you seen a Nigerian wedding? he asked.
