Dangote Urges Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola to Keep Their Marriage Away from Public Drama
A wedding in Iceland became a mix of glitz, warmth, and laughter as Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, offered heartfelt marital advice to newlyweds Mr Eazi (Tosin Ajibade) and Temi Otedola. His speech not only charmed guests but also carried nuggets of wisdom wrapped in humor.
Speaking as Chairman of the ceremony, Dangote admitted it was his first time in the Nordic country, describing it as “a very special place.” He joked about spending much of his time there asleep but revealed he had cleared his calendar to attend because of how dear Temi was to the family. His words carried both sincerity and a touch of humor that drew smiles from the guests.
The billionaire then turned his attention to the groom, praising Mr Eazi for his humility and impressive business achievements spanning 18 African countries. He described him as “a calm, humble man who blends artistry and entrepreneurship,” and joked that Temi was indeed “lucky to have such a husband.”
For the bride, Dangote celebrated her independence and drive, recalling how Temi had always worked to build her own identity rather than simply lean on her father’s fortune. He applauded her grit, calling her “entrepreneurial, tough, and determined,” traits he said would strengthen their marriage.
In a lighthearted yet meaningful moment, Dangote advised the couple to keep their relationship matters private, resolve issues together, and avoid unnecessary interference. He humorously promised to throw a lavish party once their first child arrived, floating London, Miami, or even Iceland again as possible venues.
He wrapped up his speech by saluting Temi’s father, Femi Otedola, for hosting such a remarkable celebration, which he declared “the wedding of the year” and “a truly historic occasion.” His mix of warmth and wit perfectly capped off a day that blended love and luxury in equal measure.
