If anyone expected her to wear a rich lace fabric for her wedding Kamu,
then, they are wrong.
For the Kamu, Zahra, the daughter of President Mohammadu
Buhari who got married to Ahmed Indimi, went for a rich blue Fulani fabric
which she ordered for.
The Kamu Amariya
is one of the oldest events in the Hausa wedding ceremony. Kamu
means catch the bride.
The groom’s family comes and negotiates with the bride’s
friends for her release to them. They have come for their bride and they are willing
to pay any price to have her. This is a fun event and negotiation may take up
to 30 minutes followed by a fun reception.
On why she chose the ancient fabric, she posted on her IG handle, “I
respect tradition, it is what makes us unique.. For my Kamu I insisted on
wearing the rich blue traditional Fulani fabric that was worn by generations
before us and @hudayya delivered! MUA @mamzabeauty..
