The colorful wedding ceremony between Miss Doris Longe and Ade Imasuen was greeted with commotion and disappointment when news filtered in that the taxi driver that was hired to transport the food and other refreshments to the reception venue has escaped with everything in his possession.

The excitement at the reception venue,a popular hotel in G.R.A Benin City was dimmed immediately the news of the disappearance of the taxi driver with the food and can drinks was broken to the gathering.

We learnt that the taxi driver was stopped around King’s Square area of Benin City and was contracted to transport the food and other entertainment items from the bride mother’s house in G.R.A to the reception also in G.R.A.

It was gathered that those the bride’s mother delegated to take charge of the food assisted the taxi driver in loading the eleven giant coolers of well prepared fried/jollof rice.fried meat,moi-moi,pounded yam with egusi and ogbolor soup as well as serviette and breakable plates into the car.

The driver who claimed to know the venue of the reception in G.R.A, was told to go unaccompanied to quickly drop the items and return to pick the remaining things while they get themselves ready for the reception.

But after awaiting for the taxi driver for almost two hours and he did not show up;it then dawned on those in charge that the worst may have happened,so they had to embark on searching for the taxi driver which proved abortive.

It was gathered that serious efforts were made by both families of the couple to conceal the news from them,but the sudden change of mood at the reception aroused the couple’s curiosity.

The bride Doris Longe collapsed on hearing the life time embarrassing news that a taxi driver has absconded with her wedding reception food. She was however revived with the effort of family members,friends and well wishers as the event continued in a low spirit.

All the comedic moves adopted by the Masters of Ceremony to restore smiles to the faces of the disappointed audience failed.
The bridegroom and his father in-law who is a UK based industrialist declined comments,but both were visibly not happy with the development

He probably wants to sell the drinks. But the coolerssssss with cooked food? Is his entire lineage stranded and starving somewhere in Somalia?

Damn!
This is some funny story!

all the food and drinks has "street value", so i wonder why anyone would hand it to a stranger in a taxi, like that.
i mean, its obvious that the guy could have ate some of the food, drink the beverages or done worst to the food. who is the dumbass who decided that the taxi driver should go alone with the stuff?

Na wa oooooo!

wonder shall never end

even before i read the piece, i guess right that those in charge of the stolen foods re females......cos a guy woudnt mind getting to the venue before coming back to dress up but females will be pre occupied with dressing up for the occasion. it a nasty experience for the young couple.

Guy, if you wana bash, do it with sense or STFU. I just wasted 10secs of my life reading your post so I deemed it fit to quote you this way so you won't think you exhibited wisdom in your post.

Letting the driver go alone to the venue was the dumbest thing ever!
I wonder what was later served at the wedding...meatpie perhaps?
Lmao!

Haaaa!!!

Who was d dumb fucKkk dat let d driver go wiv d food and drink

Hellooo!!! Health and safety reasons.

Wot if he decided to do drop of the food,but also mixed it with different wahalas, mehn it's Africa we talking about oo

The couple shd thank their stars. What if the driver added some WAHALA to the food.

The people that sent the driver without any company shd be held liable.

How would a reasonable adult entrust food and drinks to total stranger? Na wa o!

benin drivers no de dull o,when there's hunger in the 9ja ,him see free fried rice with chicken and better kpomo plus all the aroma you say make him no move food free of charge,guys pls think again. he still must be eating those food till date,n it might perhaps serve him for a month with constant warming,and for the beer na enough merriment. abegii ! ! people in benin know whats up in the town and went ahead with such risk.what a shame

Choi! See sharp driver. Oh boy, hungry dey naija o!

I know say mugu dey naija. I know say maga dey naija. But i no know say mugumaga sef day naija sha!

You hear some stories and you'll feel like getting hold of the culprits and beating them silly till they are hospitalised.

Looks like they brought the UK mentality to naija of [some measure of] societal trust, thinking it works like that in naija

even abroad, would you give the important and expensive food/drinks to a taxi driver (aka stranger) on such an important day?! at least, a responsible person would call a legit courier/taxi company, and if there was none available then they would send someone along with the food (just in case)

mehn laffter no go kill person for NL. Hungry Taxi driver, u be wicked man ooo. haba! this is wickedness na. Anyway, Doris baby, take heart ehn? all is well. can u picture that yeye Master of Ceremony trying to crack jokes to a hall full of hungry guests? the bride suppose break plate for him head. mehn, my throat is just hurting badly from the laughter.

It is sad the man took the food to feel his hungry family.

Mrs.Chima:

All the taxi drivers for moto park go belleful.
