According to a report by Instablog, the 30-year marriage of Nigeria’s richest woman, Folorunsho Alakija, and her husband, Modupe Alakija, has ended. The couple had been married since the early 1990s, and this news is sure to come as a shock to many.
Folorunsho Alakija and Modupe Alakija are reported to have stopped living together at their home in Ikoyi, Lagos, indicating that their marriage has ended. The couple had been living in the high-end neighborhood of Ikoyi for many years, raising their four children there.
Rumors suggest that the couple’s marriage had been experiencing difficulties for some time, with reports of frequent squabbles and disagreements between the two. It is alleged that Alakija asked her husband to leave their home in Ikoyi, and that he has since been staying elsewhere. The reasons behind the couple’s separation are not clear, and neither party has issued a public statement.
Sources say that the couple’s relationship has been rocky for a while, but they have been trying to maintain a united front due to their status and high profile in Nigerian society. The report suggests that their marriage may have been in trouble for some time, but the couple has been reluctant to acknowledge any problems publicly.
