Efya and Tomi Thomas
The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has congratulated songstress Efya Awindor following her marriage to Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas over the weekend.
In a statement signed by the Union President, Bessa Simons, MUSIGA said it is delighted to celebrate the beautiful milestone with her.
“We are delighted to celebrate this beautiful milestone with you, particularly as it comes less than a year after you proudly represented MUSIGA as the face of the maiden edition of the SheRhythms Festival.
“Your grace, artistry, and influence made a remarkable impact on that historic initiative, and it is fitting that we now join countless fans, colleagues, and well-wishers in celebrating this new chapter of your personal life,” MUSIGA stated.
The Union described the wedding as, “A beautiful celebration of love, culture, family, and unity. As you embark on your family life, we wish you and your husband every joy, peace, understanding, and divine blessing as you build your life together.”
MUSIGA also wished Efya continued success as she embarks on an exciting new phase of her career as a married woman and a mother.
“Your voice, creativity, and dedication to Ghanaian music remain an inspiration to many, and we are confident that this new season will bring even greater fulfilment, strength, and artistic excellence.
“May your home be filled with love, laughter, prosperity, and enduring happiness. May your marriage flourish, and may your family bring you profound joy as you continue to shine on stage and beyond,” MUSIGA added.
Tomi Thomas married Efya in a three-day celebration in Accra under the hashtag #TJLuv26.
The festivities began with a knocking ceremony on February 14, 2026 — Valentine’s Day — which at the time sparked rumours of a secret wedding. Her management later clarified it was only the customary knocking process.
On Friday, November 6, a colourful traditional marriage ceremony was held in Accra, built around kente, gold and Ghanaian-Nigerian cultural traditions. Efya wore a stunning Kente ensemble, while Tomi arrived with his groomsmen in elegant Ghanaian Kente cloth complemented by gold accessories.
On Saturday, November 7, an elegant white wedding was held at the Underbridge Annex in Accra. Efya walked down the aisle accompanied by her parents, including her father, Professor Awindor, wearing an elegant white lace gown with a fitted bodice, high neckline and detachable train. Tomi complemented her in a white tuxedo jacket paired with black trousers.
The celebrations concluded on Sunday, November 8, at Cedar Church (Assemblies of God) with the dedication of their baby daughter, Zoe-Blair Adara Nana Efya Ankyaa Oluwateniayo Thomas, officiated by Rev. Stephen Wengam.
Efya’s wedding was one of the biggest celebrity gatherings of the year, drawing dozens of stars from music, film, fashion, media and politics.
