Billionaire businessman Adedeji Adeleke, father of Nigerian music star Davido, has shared a heartfelt message about the true meaning of happiness, emphasizing that wealth does not guarantee fulfillment.
Speaking at the wedding of his elder son, Nicolas Adeleke, the respected philanthropist and businessman reflected on the limits of money when it comes to genuine joy and peace.
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.”
Adeleke advised the newlyweds to build their marriage on love, peace, and mutual understanding rather than material success. He also encouraged them to pray for each other daily, both morning and night, as a way of sustaining harmony in their union.
The glamorous wedding was attended by close family, friends, and several high-profile guests, featuring a lavish display of wealth, including multiple private jets.
Social media reactions
Adeleke’s remarks sparked wide conversation online, with many praising his humility and wisdom. Some commenters agreed that money can provide comfort but not lasting happiness, while others debated the extent to which wealth contributes to well-being.
A reminder on true values
The billionaire’s words underscore the growing conversation around wealth and emotional wellness in Nigerian society. Despite his family’s immense fortune, Adeleke’s message served as a timely reminder that true happiness lies in love, peace, and family bonds not just financial success.
