5 Mistakes Many Alágà Ìké / Wedding Engagers Make (And How to Avoid Them)
1. Talking Too Fast or Too Much
Some Alágà speak too fast, rush the program, or talk non-stop without giving guests breathing space.
Why it's a mistake:
People get tired quickly, and the event loses its beauty.
Correct approach:
Speak slowly, confidently, and allow moments of reflection and laughter.

2. Not Knowing the Couple’s Story
Many Alágà enter the event without understanding who the couple really are.
Why it's a mistake:
Their prayers, jokes, and praises won’t connect emotionally with the families.
Correct approach:
Ask questions before the event — how they met, their tribe, their values, and what tone they prefer.

3. Poor Voice Control
Some Alágà shout too much or use a weak voice that guests can’t hear.
Why it's a mistake:
It makes you look unprofessional and frustrates the audience.
Correct approach:
Practice voice projection, calm speaking, proper breathing, and microphone handling.

4. Wrong Outfit or Unpresentable Appearance
An Alágà is the face of the event. Looking rough or dressing casually reduces your credibility.
Why it's a mistake:
People judge your professionalism by your appearance first.
Correct approach:
Dress elegantly, clean makeup, neat gele, tidy clothes — even simple outfits can look classy.

5. Forgetting to Control the Program
Some Alágà allow the families or crowd to scatter the arrangement of the event.
Why it's a mistake:
It makes the event disorganized, slow, and stressful.
Correct approach:
Stay confident, gently control the flow, coordinate with the DJ, planner, families, and keep the program moving smoothly.
