The lavish wedding ceremony that has stirred social media sensations was held on Sunday, September 10, 2023, in Bugereka village, Mukono district, Uganda.
Among the seven women MMI gathered are two biological sisters.
The wives include Mariam, Madinah, Aisha, Zainabu, Fatuma, Rashida, and Musanyusa

After exchanging their marital vows, Nsikonnene and his seven wives held a big procession led by cyclists, through the towns of Kalagi, Kasana, and Nakifuma, amidst applause from people who had lined up on roadsides to witness the ceremony.
