– Washing Modupe’s Underwear, Clothes, Failed to Save Union as He Packs Out of their High-Brow Ikoyi Mansion
There was a time that both Folorunsho Alakija and her husband, Modupe, were the apple of each other’s eye. Then ennui crept on their love. The airstream of desire subsided between them. Their passion faded into a constant blur and they went from being the apple of each other’s eye to mortal receptacles of love-gone-sour.
As you read, the fountain of their love has dried up. And their marriage of about 46 years has hit the rocks, crashing to smithereens. But this didn’t happen in isolation, for several years, loyalty and respect dwindled between them, even as their passion fields slipped into decline. In the end, the garden of their love faded into an empty core.

Who would have thought Nigeria’s richest woman, Folorunsho, who once waxed lyrical stressing that her wealth does not hinder her from honouring her husband with the love, respect and submission due to him, would eventually fall out of love with him?
It would be recalled that Folorunsho said, some years ago, that she accords her husband the utmost respect. According to her, she still washes his underwear, cloths, and so on.
Thus when the news of their separation broke in public space, setting social media agog, not a few people betrayed astonishment and horror at watching what they hitherto imagined to be a perfect union of about 46 years fall apart.
What many people do not know was that the cracks that blew into their eventual separation began several years ago over trivial and major squabbles. As the years progressed, those cracks widened into an irredeemable gorge causing their complete estrangement from each other.
The vessel of marital discord berthed on the shore of their love about six years ago but escalated in recent times, a development which prompted both husband and wife to opt for separation.
According to inside sources and friends of the Alakijas, efforts have been made in recent months to reconcile them, but things seemed to have completely gone awry between them.
Findings revealed that both husband and wife often allegedly have heated disagreements on subject matters that could have been amicably resolved if properly managed. For instance, sources said there was an incident at the Ikoyi Club Lagos, a few years back, which tended to cast a seeming picture of inappropriate action about one of them, which did not go down well with the other.
Media reports also suggest that Alakija, who is regarded as Nigeria’s richest woman with an oil bloc to her credit, had been engaged in a series of heated arguments with her husband in recent times, prompting both sides to embrace separation.
The frequent disagreements reportedly made Modupe to pack out of their mansion at highbrow Ikoyi, Lagos.
The decision by Modupe to move out of the palatial home stemmed from what many family members described his wife’s request that she be allowed to have her maximum privacy.
But contrary to widespread belief that Folorunso had always been more privileged in the marriage because she married a pauper, her husband, Modupe, is also a billionaire.
While Folorunso is the founder and Vice Chairman of FAMFA Oil Limited, and has made a name for herself as a successful businesswoman, her husband, Modupe, is the Chairman of FAMFA oil.

Unknown to many Nigerians, Modupe Alakija is also well-to-do. A successful lawyer and businessman, he’s a billionaire just like his wife, and he hails from a reputable family in Lagos State.
Born on May 5, 1949 in Nigeria, he moved to the United Kingdom (UK) after his elementary education for advanced and higher studies.
Modupe Alakija acquired his Law degree from Cambridge University, and he was called to the British Bar in 1970. Asides being the chairman of FAMFA Oil Limited, the company that owns a stake in the lucrative Agbami oil field, he is also the executive Vice Chairman of Dayspring Property Development Company Limited, a real estate company.
As the Alakijas marriage hits the rocks, not a few pundits have pondered what it takes to cultivate and sustain a perfect love and stable marriage. Certainly, neither money nor a host of other financial securities are ever enough..READ FULL ARTICLE HERE>>>>
