At the lavish wedding of his elder son Nicolas Adeleke, billionaire businessman Adedeji Adeleke, father of Nigerian superstar Davido, dropped some words of wisdom that have since sparked reactions across social media.
Speaking to the newlyweds, Adeleke reminded everyone that money doesn’t buy happiness. He said:
“Happiness is not about money. Some people have nothing but they are happy. Some people have millions in the bank but they are miserable.”
The billionaire added that the couple should prioritize peace, friendship, and love in their home, and not let wealth define their success. He urged them to pray for each other every morning and night as part of maintaining harmony in marriage.
The wedding itself was a spectacle of luxury, attended by family, friends, and notable celebrities, featuring several private jets and extravagant celebrations — yet Adeleke’s message reminded everyone that true joy isn’t measured in money.
As expected, social media quickly erupted. Some fans agreed that while money can bring comfort, it cannot guarantee emotional fulfillment. Others debated whether wealth indirectly contributes to happiness, but many praised Adeleke for his humility and timeless advice, emphasizing that family bonds and peace are far more valuable than material possessions.
This message comes at a time when conversations about wealth and personal wellbeing are prominent in Nigeria. Despite the Adeleke family’s immense riches, the billionaire father’s advice at the wedding serves as a reminder: love, harmony, and relationships are the real keys to happiness.
Fans and followers are still sharing highlights from the wedding, and Adeleke’s words continue to resonate as a powerful lesson in values over wealth.
