During the star-studded wedding ceremony of his daughter, Temi Otedola, to Nigerian singer and entrepreneur Mr Eazi, billionaire businessman Femi Otedola delivered a heartfelt and memorable speech that not only celebrated the couple but also paid tribute to his wife, Nana Otedola, while offering wise words of advice to the newlyweds.
In his opening remarks, Otedola expressed deep appreciation for the unwavering support and sacrifices of his wife throughout their marriage. He recounted how Nana devoted herself entirely to raising their children and managing the household while he focused on building his business empire, often spending long hours away from home to ensure the family’s financial stability and prosperity.
Otedola highlighted Nana’s exceptional patience and resilience, noting that she not only provided for their children’s emotional and physical needs but also endured his shortcomings, always ensuring that Temi and her siblings grew up in a loving and supportive environment. “I must give credit to Nana, because when we had Temi, I was busy looking for money to look after them, and she sacrificed everything, all my bad habits, to make sure they were well looked after and spent every minute with them,” Otedola remarked, eliciting applause and nods of appreciation from the audience.
Turning his attention to Temi, the billionaire expressed his joy at her choice of life partner, praising Mr Eazi for his character, humility, and the respectable family he comes from. He encouraged his daughter to embrace her new role as a wife with maturity, love, and understanding. With a mix of humor and sincerity, Otedola advised, “Temi, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. You found yourself a great guy from a decent family. One thing I will advise you is to succumb to the whims and caprices of your husband. He is your husband, he is your boss, there’s no more daddy, don’t call me,” prompting laughter and applause from guests who appreciated the fatherly yet playful tone of his advice.
In addition to the words of wisdom, Otedola presented the couple with a symbolic gift to commemorate the occasion: his recently published memoir, Making It Big: Lessons From A Life In Business. The book, unwrapped during the ceremony, symbolized the passing of lessons, values, and guidance to Temi and Mr Eazi as they embarked on their shared journey of marriage, emphasizing the importance of perseverance, discipline, and love both in personal life and in future ventures.
The wedding, held in Iceland, brought together family, friends, and notable personalities from Nigeria and across the globe, creating a grand and memorable celebration. Femi Otedola’s speech stood out as a highlight of the event, blending heartfelt emotion, humor, and valuable life advice, leaving an indelible impression on the couple and all attendees.
