I found fulfilment marrying my husband at 21 — Shade Okoya - The Alternative News

 




Shade, the wife of billionaire businessman Razak Okoya, has revealed that she did not miss out on anything in life despite marrying her husband at the age of 21, PUNCH ONLINE reports.

Okoya stated this during an interview with BBC Yoruba about her marriage on Sunday.

The socialite noted that she has no regrets about marrying an older man.

According to her, choosing to marry an elderly partner has not prevented her from experiencing any aspect of life.

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, now 48 years old, married billionaire businessman Razak Okoya in 1999, at the age of 21.

Her husband, who is currently 85 years old, was already a prominent figure in Nigeria’s business landscape at the time of their union.

She confidently stated that she has never felt deprived or disadvantaged for not marrying a younger man.

Okoya shared more insight into her marital journey, expressing deep satisfaction and happiness, and affirming that her marriage has been fulfilling and rewarding.
