Africa’s richest man and Nigerian billionaire, Aliko Dangote, has said that he never knew that Mr Eazi, the son-in-law of his counterpart, Femi Otedola, had eighteen businesses across the continent.
He made this known in his speech at the wedding of Temi Otedola and Mr Eazi.
In the viral video, Dangote lauded the entrepreneurial spirit of Mr Eazi.
According to Dangote, the couple would in the future be called the richest people on earth.
“I never knew that you have businesses in 18 countries in Africa. I must really congratulate you for being a great guy.
“Knowing that the two of you are always very charming, very entrepreneurial, I’m sure in the next few years we will take a back seat and call you the richest people on earth,” he said.
He further said of Otedola, the chairman of Geregu Power and First Bank: “Femi is not only my friend, he is my brother. Where you see me, you see Femi. If there is any brother that I have that is not of the same mother and father, that brother is Femi.”
