You have to succumb to your husband; he’s your boss” — Billionaire businessman Femi Otedola tells his daughter, Temi, in an emotional speech at her wedding
“Temi, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. You found a great guy. Very great guy. Blessed guy. He comes from a very decent family.”
But his most striking counsel came as he charged his daughter: “One thing I will advise you, Temi, is… You have to succumb to the whims and c¥rses of your husband. Okay? He is your husband and he is your boss. There is no more daddy. Don’t come here.”
Otedola praised the love he observed between Temi and her husband Tosin: “You are truly in love with each other. Truly, truly in love with each other.Temi is an entrepreneur. Tosin is an entrepreneur. So you match each other. This is made in heaven.”
He encouraged Tosin, saying: “But Tosin… You are going to go places. I have seen the entrepreneurial skill in you. When we were much younger… We think we are used to us but not like your generation.And it has always paid off.”
He further urged the couple: “Continue to love,Temi. When you have issues, problems, just keep it within yourself. Never call any friend and have this problem. Just keep it within your walls. And God will bless you and bless your marriage.”
Concluding, Otedola thanked the guests: “I thank you all. And I wish you safe travels back to various places you have come from. God bless you all. I love you all. Thank you all.”
