Nigerian billionaire and philanthropist Femi Otedola delivered a deeply emotional and spiritual speech at the traditional wedding of his daughter, Temi Otedola, and Afrobeats singer Oluwatosin Ajibade (Mr Eazi), describing the marriage as “blessed by God.”
Speaking before family, friends, and high-profile guests at the ceremony held in Dubai, Otedola said he believed the wedding carried divine significance, citing two incidents that, in his view, confirmed that the union was under God’s protection.
“What I have in common with Temi is extremely spiritual like a spiritual bond “Otedola said. “This wedding, I can tell you, is blessed.”
Otedola recalled that the couple’s engagement plans were nearly overshadowed by a missile fired amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran just 10 days before the scheduled ceremony.
“I thought it meant they were going to scatter the engagement,” he said. “But God told me the engagement would happen and it did.”
He also shared that, just a week before the wedding, he saw a video of a strong storm that completely blew away a tent similar to the one prepared for their celebration.
“I called Tosin and said, ‘The wedding must happen,’” Otedola recounted. “Imagine if that had happened two days ago. So this marriage is blessed by God.”
