Nigerian billionaire businessman and author Femi Otedola captivated guests with a heartfelt speech at his daughter Temi Otedola’s wedding to singer Mr Eazi.
In a video that captured the moment and went viral on Saturday, the billionaire recounted being skeptical when Temi introduced him to Eazi in 2017, joking about his dreadlocks.

“In 2017, probably 8 years ago, Temi said she wanted to introduce me to Tosin. I said No problem, bring him. I saw his dreadlocks and said Well, but something struck me that day, they call me the prophet, so I have that strong intrusion. Something told me that this is Temi’s husband. Eight years later, the dream has come true,” he said.
Femi also highlighted the spiritual connection he shares with his daughter and declared that the wedding is divinely blessed.
“What I have in common with Temi is very spiritual – a spiritual bond. This wedding is blessed by God,” he stated.
The billionaire went on to recount two incidents that nearly disrupted the celebrations, underscoring the belief that the couple’s union was protected.
“We were going to have the engagement at my house in Dubai, and there was a war between Israel and Iran, and they fired missiles at Qatar, ten days before the wedding. And I thought of it and was a bit worried we would cancel the engagement, but I said it would happen. And it happened,” he said.
He also recalled a storm that destroyed the wedding’s tent a week before the ceremony: “This tent we are in, last week, I just saw a video. There was a storm and it blew away the whole tent. I said, what? A week to the wedding.
“I said, Tosin, go and gather all the 747s in this world and let them bring in your tents, whatever they’re going to build. We must hold this ceremony today. And God look at it.
You can imagine if this had happened two days before. So this is blessed by God.”
