Nigerian power couple Folorunsho Alakija and Modupe Alakija have reportedly decided to part ways after more than 30 years of marriage. According to a report by TheWill, this is the end of a journey that began in 1976 and has seen many ups and downs.
Folorunsho Alakija, known as Nigeria’s richest woman, and her husband, Modupe Alakija, have decided to part ways. Sources say they are no longer living together in their luxurious Ikoyi home in Lagos. The couple, blessed with four children—Folarin Alakija, Rotimi Alakija, Ladi Alakija and Dele Alakija—are said to have faced marital challenges, forcing Folorunsho to seek privacy in their home.
It is said that the disagreements between the couple became so frequent that Folorunsho sought refuge while Modupe found accommodation nearby in Ikoyi. Despite their social status, the tensions in their relationship could no longer be ignored, forcing them to publicly acknowledge their separation.
While the exact reasons for their decision remain a mystery, it is clear that they encountered difficulties they could not overcome. As the Alakijas enter this new chapter, they continue to be respected and admired for their achievements and resilience in the face of personal challenges.
