From Four Brides to Three: A Change in Plans
Initially, the wedding ceremony was planned to include four brides, but one of the brides-to-be withdrew due to personal reasons. According to Efih, while this adjustment altered the original plan, it has not dampened the celebratory spirit of the upcoming event.
Efih explained the decision behind Arube’s multiple marriages, saying, “Arube married two women about 20 years ago. One of them divorced him, leaving him with only one wife. This year, he decided to marry four women to consolidate his family and cut costs, as having one grand ceremony would be more economical than hosting multiple weddings. Along the way, one of the women opted out.”

Since launching his band, Arube has released more than 10 albums, blending traditional Isoko rhythms with contemporary influences. His music has become a cultural touchstone in Delta State, celebrating the rich heritage of the Isoko people while resonating with audiences beyond the region.
