Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, has felicitated with Temi Otedola and Mr. Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, popularly known as Mr. Eazi, on the occasion of their wedding ceremony.
Daily Trust had reported that the wedding between the Nollywood actress Temi and the Nigerian singer Mr. Eazi, was celebrated across Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland.
Congratulating the couple on the development, Dangote described the wedding as a special event that forced him into cancelling many events in order to make it to Iceland.

Although he had been to different countries across the world, Dangote said he had never been to Iceland, but for the recent wedding event which took him there.
Speaking in a viral video shared online, Dangote said, “I think today is a great day. Iceland is a very special place. In fact, this is my first time here. I have travelled all over the world but not Iceland. So, Femi, thank you for opening my eyes. Actually, I have been sleeping since the time that I arrived here.
“This wedding is so special, I had to cancel so many events to be here, because Temi is very special to the family.”
He described the bride as an entrepreneurial woman who always wants to be on her own.
“And Tosin, you are very lucky to have a great wife, somebody who is very entrepreneurial, somebody who wants to be on her own. Right from childhood, Temi didn’t want to count on her father’s money.”
Hailing the groom for his enterprising journey, Dangote said, “Tosin, you are a part-time singer, but you are an entrepreneur. In fact, when I was with you yesterday, we didn’t talk about music; we were just talking about business – 17 or 18 countries in Africa. I never knew you have business in 18 countries in Africa. I must congratulate you for being a great guy, and we are really proud of you.”
He also spoke highly of his billionaire friend, Femi Otedola, describing him as a brother.
“Femi is not only my friend; he is my brother. Whenever you see me, you see Femi. So, he is my very good friend and brother. And if there is any brother who I share different mother and father with, that brother is Femi.
“I’m really delighted today. I know that Femi is the happiest person on earth today for seeing Temi being married to Tosin. And I think our daughter is very lucky to have somebody like you…Very calm. In fact, I don’t know of any musician who is an entrepreneur, calm and loyal like you.
“Knowing that the two of you are always very charming, very entrepreneurial, I’m sure in the next few years, we will take a back seat and call you the richest people on earth.”
He, however, advised the couple to always be true to themselves and never involve third party in their marital life.
“This is the most important wedding this year. I wish you all the very best. I want to advise….I know you have a lot of friends, but you know since you get married, you drop friends and now just be between two of you. Don’t discuss your affairs with anybody. Whatever it is, sort it out within yourselves. And you have been together for a while, so I’m sure this will be the best wedding in town. I’m sure within the next one year or so, I will give you a very big party for the first child coming on board.”
