Nigerian billionaire businessman and author, Femi Otedola, has stirred emotions with a heartfelt speech at the wedding of his daughter, Temi, to Afrobeats singer, Mr Eazi.

Speaking at the ceremony, Otedola recounted the first time Temi introduced him to the musician in 2017.

He admitted being sceptical because of Eazi’s dreadlocks but said a spiritual conviction assured him that the singer was destined to be his daughter’s husband.

“In 2017, Temi said she wanted to introduce me to Tosin. I said no problem, bring him. I saw his dreadlocks and thought, well… but something struck me that day. My parents were prophets, so I have that strong intuition. Something told me that this is Temi’s husband. Eight years later, the dream has come true,” Otedola said.

The billionaire further revealed how two near-crises almost disrupted the couple’s plans but insisted the events proved their union was divinely blessed.

He recalled that their engagement in Dubai nearly coincided with the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Iran, and that a storm later destroyed the tent meant for their wedding.

“This wedding is blessed by my God,” he declared.

In his advice to the newlyweds, Otedola urged Temi to respect her husband and allow him to take the lead, stressing, “He is your husband and boss; no more Daddy, don’t call me.”

He also encouraged Mr Eazi to continue loving his bride, adding that both should avoid involving third parties in their marital issues.

Otedola praised the couple’s shared entrepreneurial drive, describing them as a “match made in heaven.”

Last month, Tribune Online reported that Temi and Mr Eazi had tied the knot at Hallgrimskirkja Church in Reykjavik, Iceland, in the presence of her siblings, parents, businessman Aliko Dangote, comedian Brodashaggi, and other close associates.

On Friday night, the couple exclusively released their wedding photos to Vogue magazine.

The publication described their union as a “global wedding,” with celebrations in Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland. (Saturday Tribune)
