During their wedding reception, billionaire businessman Femi Otedola offered heartfelt advice to his daughter, Temi Otedola, and her husband, musician Mr. Eazi, real name Tosin Ajibade.
He praised the couple’s love and entrepreneurial drive, describing their bond as destined for success.
“You found a great guy, a very great guy, a blessed guy. He’s come from a very decent family. One thing I’ll advise you… You have to succumb to the whims and caprices of your husband. Okay? He’s your husband, he’s your boss. There’s no more dad, don’t call me up,” Otedola said.
The billionaire further acknowledged the strong chemistry between the couple, noting that their love was genuine and admirable.
He highlighted their shared entrepreneurial spirit, predicting that their partnership would take them far.
“One thing I like about both of you and I’ve observed is, you’re truly in love with each other. Truly, truly in love with each other. Temi is an entrepreneur. Tosin is an entrepreneur. So you match each other. This is made in heaven. For Tosin, you’re going to go places. I’ve seen the entrepreneurial skill in you,” he said.
Otedola also urged the newlyweds to protect the sanctity of their marriage by handling challenges privately rather than involving outsiders. He stressed that unity and discretion would be key to a lasting union.
“When you have issues, problems, just keep them within yourself. Never call any friend that you have this problem. Just keep it within your walls. And God will bless you and bless your marriage,” he advised.
The businessman capped his speech with a gift presentation and a note of encouragement. He told the couple to embrace the challenges of life together with courage, creativity, and resilience.
“I thought of what I should give this couple as a present. I thought, I’ve splintered my savings account. I brought my gift. This gift I present to you. You go out into the world. You’re both entrepreneurs. Out-think, out-manoeuvre, and out-spend. You’ll be great people. This is my gift for you. I thank you all and I wish you safe travels back to various places you’ve come from. God bless you all. I love you all,” he concluded.
The wedding festivities were a grand celebration, spanning three countries: Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland. After the ceremony, Temi updated her surname to Ajibade on social media, sparking discussions about the tradition of women adopting their husband’s surname after marriage.
