Nigeria’s Richest Woman, Folorunsho Alakija, Husband Allegedly Split After Over 40-year Union
Eko Hot Blog reports that Nigeria’s billionaire businesswoman, Folorunsho Alakija, and her lovely husband, Modupe Alakija, have reportedly separated.
According to a report by The Will, the couple who had been married for 30 years, had encountered significant challenges leading to their separation.
It was further gathered that the couple no longer reside together in their lavish matrimonial home in Ikoyi, Lagos, despite being parents to four children.

The couple has reportedly been experiencing frequent conflicts, prompting Folorunsho to request privacy within her residence. This decision compelled her husband to seek alternative accommodation nearby.
However, a close source claims that despite their public appearance, the couple’s relationship has been strained for several years, and they have maintained a united front primarily due to their public status.
As at the time of filing this report, this news medium cannot independently verify the veracity of this information.
When asked about the secret of her marriage during her 65th Birthday celebration in 2016, she replied: “The secrets of our success as a married couple has been communication, a common purse and a shared determination to bring up our children together and with a deep-rooted love for each other.

“Modu is a true family man, which means that the children and I have always been a priority. I know that, in fact, I recognised that even before we got married, when we were visiting family friends and I saw him rolling around on the floor with their children. He had such a sparkle in his eyes that I knew he would be a wonderful father.
“He is like a harmless tiger- strong and proud- but with a big soft heart, or better still, a heart of gold. I knew that my tiger would always fulfill his God-given role as head of the family as best he can.
“It is these qualities that have made my love for him grow ever more and more deeply over the 38 years we have been together.”
