A video has emerged featuring the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, showcasing her dance skills at the wedding of her eldest son, Dr. Uzo Iweala.

The wedding ceremony, uniting Iweala and his partner Lotte Elsa, took place on Sunday in Heidelberg, Germany.

In the video, Okonjo-Iweala can be seen dancing to various Nigerian music tunes alongside her new daughter-in-law.

Njide Udochi, the groom’s aunt, shared videos from the event on her Facebook page on Sunday.

She partly wrote, “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 honour and celebrate them. Another day of #celebratinglove #HonoringTraditions #celebratingcommunity.”

“So grateful to all our extended family and friends who came from all over the world to honour our family and tradition today.”

“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!”
