Ayokunle Ikechukwu Oluwaseyi Akadiri

Baby Akadiri was born June 3, 2011 in the United States of America, to parents Olabisi and Ebere Akadiri.

Ebere Akadiri is the CEO of Just Relish, an upscale Restaurant and catering service in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

The naming ceremony took place according to Yoruba tradition at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, 180 Main Street, Orange, New Jersey, USA. Pastor Gordin Nwako officiated, while the Pastor in charge Toyin Laoye performed the naming ceremony.  An interesting highlight of the event took place when Pastor Laoye asked the audience to repeat the child's names three times. So the pastor and congregation chanted, “His name shall be called Ayokunle = the house is full of joy - Ikechukwu = the strength of God - Oluwaseyi = God has done this. The son of Olabisi and Ebere Akadiri is named.”  Pastors and officials of the church performed the ceremony after calling on Mr. Joe Adiele to stand on behalf of the father Olabisi, an Engineer with Shell Petroleum Development Company.

Yoruba and Igbo people (mainly the Mbaise stock), were in attendance along with socialite Kelechi Onyegbule, Pastor Jude Ogu and Umuada Igbo NJ, while the current President of Mbaise Association Emma Eke and former President Chris Ejekwu guided the event.

All the people who attended this Godly event were well fed, courtsey of the Chief hostess Mrs. Lauretta Uzosike-Adiele.
