One Groom With Three Brides

Introduction

Highlife Legend Dr. Arube Otor Set to Marry Three Brides in a Single Spectacle. Who says love can’t be grand, loud, and utterly unconventional? Well, 55-year-old highlife maestro Dr. Arube Otor, famously known as Isoko Fela One, is here to prove that love can indeed come in triplicate! Brace yourselves, folks, because on Sunday, January 19, 2025, the Anglican Church Field in London Base, Uzere Kingdom, Delta State, will witness a wedding like no other. In fact, Dr. Arube Otor is one groom with three brides!

This isn’t your everyday nuptial affair—oh no! Dr. Arube isn’t tying the knot with one or two women. He’s going all in with three brides! Yes, you heard that right. The musical icon is set to exchange vows with Oghenekome, Ewoma, and Oghenekaro, all hailing from Delta State. And if the viral marriage flier making waves on social media is anything to go by, this trio wedding promises to be nothing short of a spectacle. Clad in matching attires, the soon-to-be spouses are already giving off major “family goals” vibes.

A Love Story with a Twist

When contacted, Emperor Efih (fondly called Oscar), Dr. Arube’s foster son and one of the brains behind this extraordinary event, confirmed the juicy details. He spilled that the initial plan was to marry four women—yes, four! But, alas, one of the brides-to-be had a change of heart and exited the marital lineup.

“About 20 years ago, Arube married two women,” Oscar revealed. “One of them left, and he’s been with just one wife since then. To save costs, he decided to marry four women in one go this year. Along the way, one pulled out, and now we have three.”

Apparently, Dr. Arube’s penchant for making headlines isn’t limited to his musical career. A living legend in Delta State’s highlife music scene, Arube has been serenading audiences for over three decades. But before he found fame in music, he was a humble driver juggling his passion for melodies with the hustle of daily life. After his first band disbanded, he formed his own dance band, aptly named “Arube,” about 12 years ago, and hasn’t looked back since, dropping over ten albums along the way.

The Ladies Behind the Legend

Now, let’s talk about the leading ladies of this unique love story. None of the three women hail from Dr. Arube’s hometown, and they didn’t enter his life simultaneously. In fact, two of them have already blessed him with children, while the third is waiting on fate to deliver her own bundle of joy. To formalize their union, traditional rites were performed for all three brides on the same day last year.

Representing different communities, the brides are as diverse as they are beautiful. Oghenekome comes from Lagos-Iyede in Ndokwa East LGA, Ewoma hails from Oruamudhu Ozoro Kingdom in Isoko North LGA, while Oghenekaro is from Uroto Quarter, Ozoro Kingdom, also in Isoko North LGA. Together, they form a vibrant trio that perfectly complements the exuberant personality of their groom.

A Wedding for the Ages

With the countdown to this grand occasion underway, the entire Uzere Kingdom is abuzz with excitement. Invitations are flying left and right, and curious eyes across Delta State (and beyond) are eagerly awaiting what promises to be one of the most talked-about weddings in recent history.

As for Dr. Arube, he’s not just making history; he’s writing a love story worthy of a highlife ballad. And if his past is any indication, this upcoming event will be remembered for generations to come.

So, mark your calendars, folks! January 19, 2025, isn’t just another Sunday—it’s a day when love takes center stage in a way only Isoko Fela One can orchestrate. Three cheers (and brides) for Dr. Arube Otor!
