Nigerian billionaire businessman Femi Otedola spoke the words at his daughter’s wedding
Nigerian billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, has offered heartfelt advise to his daughter, Temi Otedola, following her marriage to award-winning singer, Mr Eazi, whose real name is Oluwatosin Ajibade.
Speaking at a recent family gathering, Otedola expressed admiration for the couple’s love and entrepreneurial drive, while sharing stories that highlighted his bond with Temi.
He recalled how her suggestions inspired him to purchase two luxury homes in Dubai, one of which hosted the couple’s engagement ceremony.
“Temu said to me, Papa, you know, I can have my engagement ceremony in this house. Why don’t you buy it?’ She doesn’t talk much but very deep.
“I wouldn’t spend all this money on this house but something struck me; money you don’t spend is not yours. Life is for the living,” he said.

The billionaire added that he bought the property and later acquired another home on the same street after Temi hinted it would be a perfect spot for an after-party.
Otedola praised Mr Eazi for his humility and entrepreneurial spirit, saying the singer was “a great guy from a very decent family,” and encouraged the couple to keep their marital issues private.
“One thing I’ll advise you, Temu, is you have to succumb to the whims and compass of your husband. He is your husband; he is your boss. There is no more dad, don’t call me,” Otedola said with a smile, drawing laughter from guests.
He also added that; “You are truly in love with each other. Temu is an entrepreneur, Tosi (Mr Eazi) is an entrepreneur. This is a match made in heaven.”
Temi Otedola, a Nollywood actress and fashion influencer, and Mr Eazi, a global Afrobeats sensation, tied the knot in a highly anticipated wedding attended by families, friends and high-profile guests, including Aliko Dangote.
