A heartwarming video has emerged showcasing the dance moves of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, during the wedding ceremony of her first son, Dr. Uzo Iweala, who recently tied the knot with his partner, Lotte Elsa, in Heidelberg, Germany.

In the video, Okonjo-Iweala can be seen jubilantly dancing to a selection of Nigerian music alongside her new daughter-in-law.

Njide Udochi, the groom’s aunt, shared several videos from the ceremony on her Facebook page on Sunday, expressing gratitude to the extended family and friends who traveled from all over the world to honor their family and traditions.

The post read, “As Nigerians and Ndigbo, there is no marriage unless we as a community celebrate our traditional marriage rites, Igba Nkwu Nwanyi. So, in Heidelberg, Germany, we married our wife.”

“It takes a village, and Uzo and Lotte had their village there to honor and celebrate them. Another day of #celebratinglove #HonoringTraditions #celebratingcommunity.”

“Congratulations to the entire Iweala family and Ndi Umuda Isingwu. Congratulations to the Goos family of Heidelberg, Germany.”

“To our newest couple, Uzodinma Iweala and Lotte Elsa. May you continue to find true happiness in each other. Love you both!”
