Nana Otedola has revealed that she initially had doubts when she learned her daughter, Temi Otedola, was planning to marry singer and entrepreneur Mr. Eazi, whose real name is Tosin Ajibade.
Speaking on the How Far? podcast, Nana explained that she worried Mr. Eazi’s demanding lifestyle in entertainment, business and frequent travel would leave Temi spending long periods alone at home.
She said she had hoped her daughters would have a different kind of family life, especially because she had to take on the role of both parents for much of their upbringing.
“When I thought they were going to get married, I thought Tosin’s world is a world of entertainment, business and travel and all of that, so I was concerned for Temi because I was the man on the home front for most of my parenting years and I didn’t think that was the way to do it. I wanted something else for the girls,” she said.
Nana added that she feared Temi would often be left at home alone, especially after having children.

“Because Tosin is good at what he does, and he seems to enjoy it, I thought Temi was going to be home alone a lot with the baby or just at home,” she said.
She disclosed that she eventually summoned the courage to discuss her concerns with Temi, choosing her words carefully because she was speaking to an adult daughter.
“I told her, ‘You’re going to be home a lot,’ and she said, ‘I’m not. Tosin really loves me,'” Nana recalled.
Her comments offered a rare glimpse into the family conversations that took place before Temi and Mr Eazi took the next step in their relationship.
