Addressing the couple, Davido's father stressed that while money and success were good, they were not the foundation of a happy home. He noted that many people who were not financially buoyant live happily, while some with “billions in the bank” remain miserable.
“It’s just God’s blessing. Once you have that in your family, you know you have a happy family,” he said. “Happiness is not about money. The most important thing is peace, happiness, and friendship in your home.”
He also advised the newlyweds to make prayer and support a daily practice.
