THE BEST WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL IS TO EMULATE THE ACHIEVERS
EGBON FEMI OTEDOLA HIS A RENOUNCED ACHIEVER
Mo gbe Fun e,
Femi Otedola, Omoluabi Atata!
Femi Otedola, a Dollar billionaire, displayed the highest level of the Omoluabi cultural ethos of the Lukumi Yoruba by asking his daughter, Temi Otedola, born into wealth, to submit to her husband and accept him as her boss.
It must have broken the hearts of feminists worldwide. Especially coming from a man whose first name, Femi, has precisely the same first four alphabets as the term feminism. What an irony!
That, right there, shows that Lukumi Yorubas value respect more than money. Which is why they are the most stable ethnicity, and have given the Nigerian nation its most productive and peaceful geopolitical zone.
Lagos, where Otedola is from, generated almost 50% of the total VAT generated by Nigerian states at ₦2.75 trillion. The South-West geopolitical zone, as a unit, contributed ₦3.11 trillion in VAT.
The South-South came a very distant second with ₦1.08 trillion, while the five states of the Southeast generated ₦101.09 billion, a third of what Oyo State contributed, at ₦272.41 billion.
What do we learn from this?
In my opinion, we learn that when there is societal order, founded on stable foundations like respect for elders, even when you are wealthier than them, and an ordered home, founded on the husband as the loving head of the household, with a wife fully submitted to him in love and not in fear, the moral and natural fabric of society align in such equilibrium that the end result is progress and upward mobility.
As such, I must commend Mr. Femi Otedola, even as I commend him for making the Amazon #1 Bestseller Ranking in the same category as I did in 2017.
Finally, the Otedolas as a whole must be commended for demonstrating to the world that Nigerians know how to throw a classy wedding. Recent examples did not quite fit the bill—not by a long stretch.
This wedding was newsworthy. Some others were noise-worthy!
