Dr. Arube Otor, a well-known highlife musician from Delta State, is making news as he plans to marry three ladies on January 19, 2025. The event will be held at the Anglican Church Field in Uzere Kingdom, Isoko South Local Government Area. This one-of-a-kind event has sparked interest because of its size and the musician's successful career.
Dr. Arube Otor, also known as Isoko Fela One, has been a prominent presence in the Delta music scene for almost three decades. His path began quietly, as a driver who pursued his love for music. He eventually founded his dance band, which he called after himself around 12 years ago. Since then, he has published over 10 albums, cementing his status as an Isoko highlife music icon.
The wedding will include three ladies from Delta State: Oghenekome, Ewoma, and Oghenekaro. A viral wedding flier features Arube and his brides dressed in matching attire, emphasizing the event's cultural significance. Arube had intended to marry four ladies at first, but he had to change his plans when one of them withdrew for personal reasons.
Arube's choice to marry numerous spouses at once was partially motivated by cost savings. He previously married two ladies roughly 20 years ago, one of whom divorced him; he now has one wife. His foster son, Emperor Efih (Oscar), argued that marrying numerous ladies at once would save the costs of separate ceremonies.
Polygamous marriages are popular in many Nigerian societies, and they are often seen as a means of strengthening family and community relationships. Arube's wives come from several areas in Delta State, including Edafemaga in Ndokwa East LGA, Oruamudhu Ozoro Kingdom in Isoko North LGA, and Uroto Quarter in Ozoro Kingdom. This variety reflects the region's cultural richness.
According to Efih, the connections with each wife evolved individually; none are from Arube's group. Two of the wives have given birth to children with him, and the third is expecting her first kid. Last year, all three brides' customary rituals were performed on the same day, symbolizing their dedication to Aruba.
The forthcoming wedding has created interest in the local community and among lovers of Arube's music. Many people see this occasion as a celebration of love and cultural heritage. The combination of music and marriage is especially important in African cultures, where weddings often include traditional songs and dances.
Arube's contribution to Isoko's highlife music has not been ignored. His ability to combine classic sounds with current elements has won him a devoted audience. He is famous not just for his musical skill but also for his involvement in promoting Delta State's cultural identity via his art.
As Dr. Arube Otor prepares for this momentous event in his life, it means more than simply a marriage; it represents a combination of culture, music, and community values. The January 19 wedding promises to be a magnificent event that will be remembered for years in Delta State and beyond.
