The moment, captured on video and shared widely online, offers a glimpse into the deep-rooted relationships within Nigeria’s film industry while confirming one of the year’s most anticipated celebrity weddings.
Okocha, who is set to wed his fiancée Chloe on November 9 in a ceremony on Lagos Island, has already begun generating excitement with the release of stunning pre-wedding photographs. The images showcase the couple in both elegant white ensembles and traditional attire, offering fans a preview of their unique chemistry and style.
The meeting between Okocha and Kanayo, affectionately known as “Nnanyisacrifice” by fans, has become a talking point on social media, particularly given Kanayo’s recent prominence in the news for his outspoken comments about fellow actor Yul Edochie’s social media behavior. The warm reception Okocha received during his visit has helped shift the narrative back to celebration and unity within the Nollywood community.
Kanayo’s Instagram post about the visit, where he wrote “Charles_okocha was here to pay homage to NNANYISACRIFICE We are ayside for tomorrow Congratulations Congratulations,” has sparked widespread reaction among fans. The post not only confirms the veteran actor’s attendance at the upcoming ceremony but also highlights the respect younger actors hold for their senior colleagues in the industry.

One user, im_nwiasagiriwa, captured the general sentiment by commenting, “This is one wedding I wouldn’t want to miss, not for anything but for the phenomenal performance,” highlighting the entertainment value both actors bring to any gathering.
Interestingly, some fans have approached the news with a mixture of surprise and verification needs. As user agda_loy humorously noted, “Thank you uncle KOK I was able to screen shot the invitation card, come zoom the picture, just so I can confirm the wedding is real. I had my doubts because this Charles too dey play.” This reaction speaks to Okocha’s reputation for playful social media content and the public’s initial skepticism about the wedding announcement.
The upcoming ceremony represents a significant milestone for Okocha, whose journey in the entertainment industry has been marked by his unique style and memorable performances. The choice of Lagos Island as the wedding venue suggests a grand celebration that will likely bring together numerous personalities from Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
The interaction between these two generations of Nollywood stars Kanayo representing the industry’s foundation and Okocha embodying its evolution symbolizes the continuing legacy and growth of Nigeria’s film industry. Their meeting has served to generate additional excitement for what promises to be one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year.

As preparations continue for the November 9 ceremony, the entertainment industry and fans alike await what promises to be a memorable celebration of love, friendship, and Nollywood solidarity. The personal touch of hand-delivering wedding invitations to industry seniors demonstrates not only Okocha’s respect for tradition but also the close-knit nature of Nigeria’s entertainment community.
The wedding’s approach has created a welcome positive narrative in the industry, offering a refreshing focus on celebration and unity at a time when Nollywood has seen its share of controversies. As the date draws near, all eyes are on what promises to be not just a union of two people in love, but a gathering of Nigeria’s entertainment elite in celebration of one of their own.
