Femi Otedola, the Nigerian billionaire businessman, has revealed that he purchased two luxury properties in Dubai specifically to host his daughter Temi’s recent wedding celebrations.
Temi and Mr Eazi, the singer, recently tied the knot in a globe-trotting three-chapter wedding celebration across Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland.
During the wedding reception, Otedola revealed that for 15 years, he had resisted buying property in Dubai despite a persistent agent showing him over 70 different units.
He said his resolve finally broke during a family trip. He added that they viewed a stunning home, which prompted persuasive suggestion from his daughter.

“There is this guy that has been showing me properties in Dubai for the last 15 years, I never bought. I am not exaggerating at least 70 properties and I never bought. So I now called up the guy because we were in Dubai for sightseeing, let us see what is in the market,” he said.
“We saw this beautiful house where we had the engagement and Temi said to me ‘Papa, you know I can have my engagement ceremony in this house, why don’t you buy it?’. She does not talk much but when she does, it is deep. So I got home and slept over it, I was saying so I am going to spend all this money on this house?
“Something now struck me that common Femi, money you spend is not yours. Life is for the living. I called up the agent and was like I will buy the house, so I bought it.”
Otedola said eight months later, the same agent alerted him to a newly completed house on the same street.
He said he toured the place out of curiosity and later, when Temi visited, he showed her the new property. According to him, her reaction was just as decisive as the first time.
“Eight months ago, on the same street the agent called me that there was another house they just completed and asked if I wanted to look at it, I said why not?” he said.
“So I went there, I looked at it, it was a beautiful house but I have a house of course. Temi then came to visit me and I was like Temi there is this house let us go and look at it together. Temi then said ‘Papa you know, this house would be nice for our after party?’. I was like you are very unserious. Anyways to make her happy, I bought it on the same street. So we had the after party there.”
