Former presidential aide Reno Omokri has reacted to billionaire businessman Femi Otedola’s advice to his daughter Temi at her wedding, stressing that without submission marriages risk division and collapse.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Mr Omokri wrote, “Your father is a pauper, yet you say you can’t marry and submit to any man. Femi Otedola is a Dollar billionaire, but he publicly tells his daughter to submit to her husband as her boss.”
He added, “Think about that. Without submission in marriage, there will be division and ultimately a collision that can lead to a major disillusion and the dissolution of the union.”
Otedola had told Temi during her wedding to singer Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, in Iceland that her husband is now her boss.
In a video from the August 8 ceremony at the Hallgrímskirkja Church in Reykjavík, he said to Temi, “He’s your husband and he’s your boss. There’s no more dad. Don’t call me.”
The ceremony was attended by family and friends, including Temi’s mother Nana Otedola, her sister Florence “DJ Cuppy” Otedola and businessman Aliko Dangote.
The couple had their civil wedding in Monaco on May 9, followed by their traditional Yoruba wedding in Dubai in July.
They got engaged in April 2022, four years after meeting at an event organised by DJ Cuppy.
