Nigerian industrialist and billionaire’s wife, Shade Okoya, has stated that she did not miss out in any aspect of life despite marrying an older man.
The businesswoman married 85-year-old billionaire, Razak Okoya, in 1999, when she was 21, and was heavily criticised over the union.
However, in a recent interview with BBC Yoruba, Shade Okoya boasted that she has never missed out on anything for not marrying a younger man.
She affirmed that she is very happy in her marriage.
She said, “My husband has been very generous with me, and defends me anywhere. God said this is where I will be. We met each other, and he liked me and he did not waste time at all.
“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.”
