"@_qmeritapaedsdoc sometimes know peoples background before making comments. Obijackson built a hospital in Okija and gave his village members free health care. That hospital was furnished with foreign interiors and has one of the best interior design in the entire country. It has also one of the best paediatric intensive care unit as well. He also has a new school built there. I think he has scholarships also. I am sure he does a lot more."
Designer Tubobereni speaks on making Kene's bridal dress
Following the bridal dress going viral, the brain behind the creative design, Tubobereni, who has a flair for designing traditional Nigerian wedding dresses, took netizens on her journey to making the much-talked-about dress from scratch, to the beauty everyone is appraising.
She explained the reason behind her love for making traditional wedding dresses. She wrote:
"My love for designing traditional Nigerian wedding outfits is deeply rooted in my quest for Africa’s complete liberation from her colonisers. As a wedding dress designer, I often see brides prioritise what they call their “white” wedding over their traditional marriage ceremony—and it breaks my heart. Because what we often forget is this: that “white” wedding is the Oyibo man’s own traditional marriage ceremony. This realisation shaped the very foundation of the TUBO brand—merging the timeless elegance of African heritage with bold, innovative design. We celebrate and empower women through meticulously crafted garments that honour both tradition and evolution."
Making Kene's bridal dress, Tubo shared her client's desire to be dressed in gold for her traditional wedding, but she went a step further by adding the coral beads, signifying royalty.
"Even though Kene wanted to simply drip in GOLD!!!!, our locally sourced coral beads had to feature in her look. We took a HUGE risk—she only saw her outfit less than 24 hours before her wedding—but we KNEW! This was an outfit no #TuboBride could resist and we have Kene’s raw, authentic, undiluted feedback to show for it!"
