Dr. Adedeji Adeleke, the father of award-winning music star Davido, moved guests to tears with a touching speech at his son’s traditional wedding, reminding the couple that true happiness in marriage is not measured by money but by peace, love, and friendship.
Addressing his eldest son, Nicholas and his bride, Jessica, the billionaire emphasized that while success and wealth were admirable, they do not guarantee joy.
He reflected on how some families with modest means live happily, while others with “billions in the bank” remain unfulfilled.
“It’s just God’s blessing,” he said. “Once you have that in your family, you know you have a happy home. Happiness is not about money. The most important thing is peace, happiness, and friendship in your home.”
He encouraged the newlyweds to nurture their relationship through daily prayers and mutual support, assuring them of his continued prayers. “The most important thing is that both of you must pray for each other every morning and every night,” he advised.
Dr. Adeleke’s heartfelt words resonated deeply with attendees, earning warm applause and emotional reactions from guests who praised his wisdom and humility.
