Nigeria’s richest woman Folorunsho Alakija and her husband broke up after 30 years

Nigeria’s power couple, Folorunsho Alakija and Modupe Alakija, have reportedly decided to go their separate ways after more than 30 years of marriage. As TheWill reports, this marks the end of a journey that began in 1976 and went through many ups and downs.

Folorunsho Alakija, known as the richest woman in Nigeria, and her husband, Modupe Alakija, have decided to separate. Sources say they no longer share the same residence in Ikoyi’s luxury home in Lagos. The couple, blessed with four children— Folarin Alakija, Rotimi Alakija, Ladi Alakija and Dele Alakija — are said to have faced challenges in their marriage, causing Folorunsho to seek privacy in their home.

It is said that disagreements between the couple became too frequent, causing Folorunsho to seek quiet while Modupe sought accommodation nearby in Ikoyi. Despite their social status, the tensions in their relationship could no longer be ignored, leading them to publicly admit their separation.

Although the exact reasons for their decision remain confidential, it is clear that they encountered insurmountable difficulties. As the Alakija people navigate this new chapter, they continue to earn respect and admiration for their achievements and resilience in the face of personal challenges.
