About "THE" Ik (doggy) that I know...& d beautiful Buzzor (The Buzz)

 Life deals us certain unexpected hands‎ & my meeting with this dude in UNN was one of those unexpected ones which turns out to be great afterwards #sic. (call for the annoying version)

IK...sorry, DOGGY turned out to be a brother & a most reliable friend through the years, with a reputation of "if I have your back, you need not turn to check if its covered". Loyalty...a virtue hardly found in our times.

A taste for the best things, so it was a no brainer when I got the call & he went: " boyoo, guy guy I don meet my wife. Guy I dey tell you say na she" ,I would've said my guy was under the influence but he annoyingly only takes yogurt, malt drinks or "Fayrous...pineapple flavour " neither does he smoke. so I knew he was pretty much only intoxicated by something else, by someone else who turned out to be the very beautiful Chibuzor  (who I call the Buzz, yes its easy beign friends with her in a beat)‎. So here's a toast to you beautiful guys: Ik & Buzz... live life & enjoy the love,laughs & beauty of God's grace and blessings on your new life. cheers guys

Achara Ikenna C.

A private legal practitioner based in Owerri Imo state. He is a graduate of law faculty, University of Nigeria. He attended the renowned Nigeria Law School and was called to the prestigious Nigerian Bar of legal practitioners in 2010.
A single brother who enjoys time spent in company of friends. Also devout practitioner with kin interest in environmental law and compensatory rights. He is the principal partner of I. C. ACHARA & CO (OKLANDS LAWFIRM) with offices at Owerri and Portharcourt.

The groom Iyke Maduemezia 'doggy - like we always called him' has been a great friend of mine for over a decade now. Colleagues and set mates at the prestigious law faculty of the University of Nigeria. Since our first year when we met till date I can authoritatively say, with no atom of flattery, that Iyke is one of the very rare kind of friends anyone will really wish to keep for life. Honestly can't remember any incident of quarreling, fight or bickering with him. He has an absolute sense of friendship, always puts the interests of his friends first before his (so many instances to buttress this fact but for time & space would have been lovely to recount). Amongst the five of us Ben, Franky, Okey, Iyke and myself (a clique of closely bond friends) I would say Iyke enjoys the most dear spot because of his very unique character. Simply put Iyke is just that fabulous kind of guy.
I remember him once talk about this 'dazzling beauty' whom he confessed he met and desired to settle down with for life. Much as it was a good news but it sure felt a bit funny to be true, not for any other reason but for the fact that Iyke had always enjoyed a monopoly of fondness from the lady folks who were irresistibly attracted to his handsome appearance and caring disposition. Now how could it be, of the many ladies (of diverse endearing beauty & character) lurking all over him, that Iyke could be stunned by this particular 'one' that made him confess marriage? That was the conflict of reason I bore not until I met the bride, Chibuzor, on one of my official trips into Asaba. Wow! And I needed not to be convinced any further. Her person laid all curiosity to an immediate rest. Not only was she fairer than the fairest of ladies in the shakesparean tales Chibuzo exuded an amiable candour that perfectly grounded her lovely appearance. Soft in speech, humble in conduct plus an amazing sense of humour. I recall a trip from Asaba down to Enugu that Iyke, Chibuzor & I had together, it was so much fun filled with many jokes, laughter & bliss such that we barely knew when we arrived Enugu.
All I can attest to is that the couple are a perfect fit for each other. A lovely duo that I believe will make a celebrated marriage. It's not in doubt that they both have it all to pull through many years of a happy union because they have a uniquely compatible set of personalities plus the love of God which crowns it all.
Happy wedlock my friends of life!

I have known Ik...AKA Doggy (Please don't ask me why they call him doggy) for more than 16yrs. We have been quite close and have nagivated through the ups and down of  life.  

However, some time this year he cald me up n told me that he had found sm1 he wnts to wake up to every morning.

 I eventually got to meet the beautiful dame who has captured my friends heart on the day he proposed to her.

 Looking at d couple, there is no iota of doubt in me that shes d right girl for him..i wish them understanding, love and mutual respect within themselves...

one advice each for the prospective bride and groom.. .....  ....     To the groom, he should understand that" a MAN is nt truly married until he understands what his wife does not say" . 

To the bride " Most women spend more time preparing for their wedding than keeping their marriage..i hope she does understands which one is higher in a scale of preference.. God bless this union!!!!!!!!!

About the groom...

MIL has been a brother and a friend for many years now. I think we became friends as far back as 1998. We have lived in close quarters, in strife and triumph. In calm tides and in  turbulence.
He is someone I have known and comes under many aliases.."John Ikechukwu(you act like an agbero), Doggie, MIL or what you may know him as, is a very intelligent, funny and loyal friend. He has been a brother where a brother was needed. A friend in time of need. A total "nut" sometimes but that's pardonable.

He is a very generous, loyal friend and were we to go back in time. I would be his friend again.
About Chibuzor(treasure sweet)...I never really knew till I met her and Ik in Enugu last year. He didn't tell me he was with a friend and when I asked him who she was he said he wouldn't explain later.

So when he had a private discussion he told me that he met her in the hospital when he went to see a friend when Chibuzor walked in and he just said.......he has seen his wife and they eventually became friends and here we are today.

Chibuzor is a cheerful, respectful and from what I have seen very supportive of her man. She has regard for his friends, be it the sane or insane ones. She has a smile and personality that lights up the room and then she is very soft spoken. These qualities have made her a perfect choice for my friend and I wish them a happy married life.

About Iyke:

Funny enough, I haven't known you for ages, but you have become more brother, than a friend to me. You are an epitome of intelligentsia. Meeting you has made great impart/impact in my life thus far, and I Thank Our Chairman, Pst. Barr. Chucks Obusom for this esteem opportunity. I don't know if giving your wife more accolades than you would make any sense at this point, but i do not have a choice “Your wife is epitome of beauty, brains, and holiness” - She is a rare GEM.
Why getting married is awesome- when you are looking for a wife, open your eyes wide, and when you find one, close your eyes to all others. MY brother, my friend, my leader, my boss- The Sekikwe Worldwide, I believe you have applied the aforementioned principles; That is why we are here, today- to celebrate with you. It takes a man to plan on getting married; I am not saying that I am still a boy, as I am still single (and please do not give Our Able Chairman a chance to speak, so he would not finish I and my fellow Bachelor- Uzo Ononye- The Vice-Sekikwe). To concur the fact, “Today, you have become more MAN, than Myself”. Happy Married Life, Sekikwe
