Okonjo-Iweala’s son marries in Germany [Photos]

Dr. Uzo Iwela, son of Nigeria’s former Minister of Finance and now Director-General of the World Trade Organization, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, tied the knot with his heartthrob, Lotte Elsa, in Germany on Sunday.

Photos from the ceremony were shared by the groom’s aunt, Njide Okonjo-Iweala, who penned a short note to the couple, writing, “As Nigerians and Ndigbo, there is no marriage unless we as a community celebrate our traditional marriage rites, Igba Nkwu Nwanyi. So, in Heidelberg, Germany, we married our wife.

“It takes a village, and Uzo and Lotte had their village there to honour and celebrate them. Another day of #celebratinglove #HonoringTraditions #celebratingcommunity

“To our newest couple, Uzodinma Iweala and Lotte Elsa. May you continue to find true happiness in each other. Love you both.”
