She said,
My husband has been very generous to me and defends me everywhere. God said this is where I will be. We met each other, and he liked me.
I’m happy in my marriage to him. He is far older than me, but I don’t think I ever missed out on anything because I didn’t marry a younger man. I remember when he expressed his interest in me – it was straightforward, and he got down to business by meeting my parents and doing the needful in no time.
Shade Okoya, now 48, married billionaire industrialist Razak Okoya in 1999 when she was just 21 years old.
At the time of their marriage, her husband, now 85, was already a well-established and influential figure in Nigeria’s business world.
