A name carrying the heritage of two families, a church filled with prayers, and a proud couple holding their newborn daughter marked a special moment for Ghanaian singer Efya Nokturnal and her Nigerian husband, Tomi Thomas, as they dedicated their baby girl in a thanksgiving ceremony in Accra.

The christening, naming and thanksgiving service took place on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at Cedar Church (Assemblies of God), bringing the couple’s three-day wedding celebrations to a joyful close.

During the ceremony, the couple unveiled their daughter’s full name as Zoe-Blair Adara Nana Efya Ankyaa Oluwateniayo Thomas, a beautiful combination of names reflecting their Ghanaian, Nigerian and wider family heritage.

The inclusion of Nana Efya Ankyaa honours Ghanaian naming traditions, while Oluwateniayo reflects the Yoruba roots of her father.

Standing before the congregation with their daughter, Efya and Tomi received prayers and blessings from the church leadership.

The head pastor led special intercessory prayers for Baby Zoe, expressing hope that she would grow into a destiny child and a shining star who would positively influence her generation.

Photographs and video clips from the dedication have since circulated online, attracting congratulatory messages from fans and colleagues.

For Efya and Tomi, the church gathering offered something beyond the glamour of their wedding weekend: a public moment of gratitude, family unity and prayer for their daughter’s future.

With their marriage celebrations complete, the couple now embrace a new chapter together as husband and wife and parents to Baby Zoe.

Six years after declaring that marriage was not part of her future, Ghanaian singer Efya has had a change of heart.

Following her wedding to Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas, the award-winning singer has playfully acknowledged her earlier comments, sparking conversations across social media.

Efya, born Jane Awindor, and Tomi celebrated their traditional marriage on Friday, November 6, 2026, in a ceremony attended by celebrities and entertainment industry personalities from Ghana and beyond.

The singer looked stunning in an elegant Ghanaian kente ensemble featuring carefully selected colours and intricate beadwork, while her groom wore traditional attire reflecting the couple’s blended cultural backgrounds.

The celebrations continued on Saturday, November 7, with a white wedding. Efya appeared in a beautiful white lace gown and matching veil, while Tomi opted for a stylish white suit. Their exchange of vows attracted further attention from musicians and other notable guests.

However, beyond the wedding photographs and celebrations, it was Efya’s response to her resurfaced 2020 interview that caught public attention.

In the earlier interview, she had firmly expressed that she never wanted to get married. Following a post about her marriage on Instablog Naija, the singer responded with humour, writing: “lol I guess i lied … Oppssssss.”

Her playful admission quickly became a talking point, with many social media users reacting to the contrast between her earlier position and her new chapter.

Efya is celebrated for her soulful vocals, songwriting and influence on Ghana’s contemporary music scene. Her marriage to Tomi Thomas also brings together two musicians from Ghana and Nigeria, adding a cross-cultural dimension to their celebration.

For fans who remember her earlier declaration, the wedding offers an amusing reminder that personal views can change with time.

Indoor fireworks, a stunning lace gown and a gathering of Ghanaian entertainment stars set the scene as singer Efya Nokturnal and Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas exchanged marriage vows in an elegant white wedding in Accra.

Held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the Underbridge Annex, the ceremony brought together family, friends and prominent personalities from Ghana’s entertainment and media industries.

Efya captivated guests in a sophisticated white lace gown featuring a corseted bodice, high neckline and detachable train. She was escorted down the aisle by her parents, including her father, Professor Awindor, in an emotional moment preceding the exchange of vows and rings.

Tomi complemented his bride in a white tuxedo jacket and black trousers, keeping his look classic and understated.

The celebrations continued with a lavish reception decorated with white floral arrangements and an elegant multi-tiered wedding cake. The newlyweds made a dramatic entrance amid indoor fireworks and enthusiastic cheers, before joining guests for music and dancing.

Efya later changed into a second white outfit for the reception, where singer Adina entertained guests with a performance.

The guest list included actress Nana Ama McBrown, musicians Gyakie, Sefa, EL, Becca and Adina, alongside D-Black, Kwaw Kese, broadcaster Bola Ray and Regina Van-Helvert.
