Nana Otedola, the wife of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola, has clarified her identity.
The mother of DJ Cuppy addressed the issue of her identity while speaking with her pregnant daughter, Temi Otedola, in a video making the rounds online.
She noted that people mistake her for a Ghanaian, even though she was born and bred in Nigeria. According to her, her true roots are in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and she is an Egba woman.
“To clear the room for everybody, I’m an Egba woman, and that’s the part I’ll gladly claim as a Nigerian. I am not a Ghanaian; my roots are in Abeokuta,” she said.
Nana Otedola said that though she was born in Kaduna State in northern Nigeria and spent nearly 20 years living there, her ethnic identity remains firmly Egba.
She noted that her long stay in different parts of the country may have contributed to the confusion about her background.
“I was born in Kaduna and lived there for almost two decades”.
Elsewhere in the video, she shared details about her name, revealing that she is known as Nana Fatima, a name her grandfather gave her at her naming ceremony.
“I go by the name Nana Fatima, given to me on my sunnah by my grandfather”.
