The richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote, has recorded the best words straight from a father’s heart in this short clip dedicated to his daughter, Fatima, whose wedding with beau, Jamil Abubakar made huge, joyous waves over recent weeks.

Following their wedding ceremony, a week prior, the couple brought their wedding party to Lagos for a party like no other. Their wedding last Friday, March 23 2018 was a shut down to end all shut downs.

And now following the elaborate, unforgettable ceremony, the bride’s billionaire father has some inestimable good wishes for his daughter and her new husband.

In the video, the billionaire businessman said he had known Jamil long before he even ”realised he had gone into his garden to pluck his rose”.

”Fatima, my baby, my youngest, my sweetheart, this is a bittersweet time for any parent,” businessman Aliko Dangote began. 

”I have watched you blossom into an excellent representation of what I call my values. You are indeed pure to them.

I’ve trained you to take on any kind of weight on your shoulders and also to be bold and respectful.

Jamil had been a son to me even before I realised he had gone inside my garden to pluck my Juliet rose,” he continued.

”I’m here anytime you need me and I will love you unconditionally. I’ve done enough homework to know that Jamil will always respect the ground you walk on.

It’s a perfect father’s farewell to his daughter, wishing her goodluck on her new journey. I love you very very dearly,” he concluded.
