Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, has opened up on how his daughter who recently got married convinced him to acquire two mansions in Dubai.
The wedding of Temi Otedola and singer, Mr Eazi, has been the talk of town since some pictures were released.
It was earlier reported that the wedding was celebrated across Monaco, Dubai, and Iceland.
Speaking during the wedding, Otedola said an agent showed him over 70 different units but he did not bulge until his daughter talked him into it during a family trip, reports Sunday Trust.
“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.
“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.
“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.”
