Folorunsho Alakija, Nigeria’s Wealthiest Woman Separate From Husband After Over Three Decades
A journey that began in 1976 and has seen its share of ups and downs, Folorunsho Alakija, is known as Nigeria’s wealthiest woman.
Folorunsho and Modupe are blessed with four children Folarin Alakija, Rotimi Alakija, Ladi Alakija, and Dele Alakija, and grandchildren.
Folorunsho Alakija and Modupe Alakija, Nigeria’s power couple have reportedly decided to go their separate ways after more than 30 years of marriage.
Nigeria’s richest woman, Folorunsho Alakija, allegedly no longer lives together in their matrimonial home in highbrow Ikoyi, Lagos.
Her husband Modupe allegedly lives alone within the same Ikoyi neighborhood.
The couple was alleged to have been having frequent squabbles which allegedly necessitated the wealthy woman to demand utmost privacy in her home. Her husband was forced to seek accommodation elsewhere.
Sources reveal to us that it has not all been smooth sailing for the couple these past few years and they have allegedly been forced to put up a united front because of their status in the society, the report added.
It’s said that disagreements between the couple became too frequent, prompting Folorunsho to seek solitude while Modupe found accommodation nearby in Ikoyi.
Despite their social status, the strains in their relationship couldn’t be ignored any longer, prompting them to publicly acknowledge their separation.
While the exact reasons for their decision remain private, it’s clear that they’ve encountered difficulties they couldn’t overcome.
As the Alakijas navigate this new chapter, they continue to command respect and admiration for their achievements and their resilience in the face of personal challenges.
This separation was coming after over 30 years of marital bliss and just at the twilight of her marriage, the former society matriarch turned minister of the gospel suffered a devastating marital crisis.
According to very reliable sources close to the family, the mother of four who is also Nigeria’s wealthiest woman now lives alone away from her husband, Modupe.
The businessman allegedly no longer spends cold nights in the arms of his wife on their matrimonial bed in their highbrow Ikoyi, Lagos home.
The founder of FAMFA Oil Limited, an Oil and gas exploration business has allegedly been battling some health challenges, particularly with her eyes.
Family and friends tried as much as they could to put a lid on it just as they tried to with her current marital status. Her health challenge became more pronounced when one of her sons tied the knot early last year and very unlike the Alakijas of old, there was little or no noise about the marriage ceremony.
During the wedding, the media was tactically controlled, photographers were not allowed to take pictures arbitrarily and anyone found doing so was asked to delete them. The planning of the wedding was on a need-to-know basis and guests who got the invitations were well scrutinized.
