Former Delta Stars, Warri Wolves, Apex Krane, POC, and Delta Force player Lavers Tagar has swapped football boots for wedding shoes—sealing the deal with his sweetheart Princess Vida Akpokiniovo in a colorful traditional marriage on September 15th, 2025. And yes, it was double the joy, as the day also marked Tagar’s birthday!

The traditional marriage, held in Ughelli North, brought together two prominent families: the Tagar family, led by Lord Mayor Dr. J.K.H. Tagar, and the Akpokiniovo family, descendants of the late Chief Dr. David Akpokiniovo. The atmosphere was charged with excitement as both families danced, prayed, feasted, and rejoiced in grand style.

The lovebirds are now set for their white wedding on September 20, 2025, at Christ Apostolic Church, 7 Ekwogbe Street, Off Pipeline, Ughelli, Delta State, starting at 10 a.m. Reception will follow at the Fiesta Event Hall, Ughelli, with the colors of the day—Peach and Grey—already setting the tone for elegance.

For Tagar, who has scored goals across Nigerian football, this might just be his most memorable win yet: scoring the heart of his princess.
