Nigeria’s richest woman & billionaire Folorunsho Alakija divorces husband after 30 years of marriage

Nigeria’s power couple, Folorunsho Alakija and Modupe Alakija, have reportedly decided to go their separate ways after more than 30 years of marriage. According to a report by TheWill, this marks the end of a journey that began in 1976 and has seen its share of ups and downs.

Folorunsho Alakija, known as Nigeria’s wealthiest woman, and her husband, Modupe Alakija, have chosen to part ways. Sources indicate they no longer share the same residence in their luxurious Ikoyi home in Lagos. The couple, blessed with four children—Folarin Alakija, Rotimi Alakija, Ladi Alakija, and Dele Alakija—have reportedly faced marital challenges, leading Folorunsho to seek privacy within their home.

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.
