Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, drew admiration and laughter as he delivered a touching yet humorous speech at the wedding of singer and entrepreneur Mr Eazi (Tosin Ajibade) and billionaire heiress Temi Otedola in Iceland.
Turning to the groom, he praised Mr Eazi’s humility and entrepreneurial spirit, expressing surprise at the scale of his business operations across 18 African countries. He described him as “calm, humble, and a rare blend of musician and businessman,” while remarking that Temi was “lucky to have such a husband.”
For the bride, Dangote highlighted her independence and determination, recalling that she had always sought to carve her own path rather than rely solely on her father’s wealth. He described Temi as “entrepreneurial, tough, and determined,” qualities he said would serve her well in marriage.
Offering marital advice, the billionaire urged the couple to settle their matters privately, draw closer to each other, and avoid undue external influences. He jokingly promised to throw a “very big party” to celebrate the birth of their first child within the next year, suggesting possible venues in London, Miami, or even back in Iceland.
Dangote rounded off by commending Femi Otedola, Temi’s father, for making the grand wedding possible, calling it “the greatest wedding of the year” and “a truly historic celebration.”
