| Family Portrait, Chief & Chief Mrs. Razak & Folashade Okoya with Olamide, Oyinlola, Subomi & Wahab |
Mother of 4 gorgeous kids and the youngest wife of Aare Razak Akanni Okoya, Chief Dr. Mrs Folashade Noimat Okoya née Adeleye is 42 today, Thursday, April 25, 2019. She was born April 25.1977.m to Alhaji Taju and Alhaja Nimosat Adeleye of Ijebu Ode, Ogun State. She was just 21 when she got married to the multi-millionaire (billionaire) 2 decades ago and it has been a super fruitful 20 years all round indeed in their household. A period of extraordinary blissful coexistence of the best kind.
Maybe by sheer providence or maybe it is as God, the author of destiny and provisions had willed or planned, everything about Shade, who is a Chief many times over-Bewaji of Lagos, Yeye Oge of Epe, Otun Aare Iyalaje of Ajiranland and Ajisewa of Oke Ona and who holds a honorary Doctorate degree from the European-American University and is (the very epitome of beauty and grace) of Oke Ona Egba; one who all that is connected to her in those adjoining 20 years have soared high incredibly. 4 incredible and exceptionally smart kids (2 boys & 2 girls), husband's brand placed in her hands as the Deputy Managing Director of Eleganza Industrial City, has been well ran and is showing good profit annually and expanding her tentacles. Shade oversees more than 30 hectares of a industrial hub! It can confidently be said then, without fear of any kind, that though all was well before she came in, she must surely have brought in additional grace to the clan too to help take it to the stratosphere.
The Unilag graduate from Ojulegba that, that fate smiled on then at age 21 over 2 decades ago, has since grown in leaps and bounds to become a super stylish personality with overload of sass and oomph and in fact, she's being said to be one of the most stylish persons in Nigeria, who many always look out for at events and occasions, to see what exceptional garbs she would adorn again and again and again. She's won or has been award a style icon award by many brands over the years.
Folashade in whom her husband is so well pleased, has given back to her husband, triple if not quadruple, of the love he showers on her daily, added with sheer and unshakable loyalty. It has been said over times that, the best way for a great relationship to thrive superbly, is for the man to love absolutely and the woman to be submissive, with Shade and her husband its most definitely like it has been postulated, but Shade has added to that submission, exceptional love too and she's eating the fruit of it without a doubt.
She got her OND from Laspotech in Banking and Finance and a Sociology degree from the famous University of Lagos.
It's with great pleasure that we say Happy birthday and happy wedding anniversary to the hardworking fashionista par excellence. More good years ahead insha Allah.
Happy birthday and wedding anniversary!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHnmmm. Biola where are Chief Okoya other grown up children. They are all older than this lady. I also understand that the chief did not allow them to go to the university. Where is Taofeek and others. Where is the first wife and others. Is Shade the chiefs only wife now. They are all in oblivion. Wherever goes up shall come come down one day. God is in control. We are waiting for judgement day. Let’s wait for the end of this drama. I rest my case. I don’t envy this family at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean chief didn't allow the children go to the university?
DeleteDo you even know what you're talking about?
FYI, all Okoya kids schooled abroad (except of course there was any that wasn't willing to attend).
Happy birthday Shade
Liar oshi which schooled abroad
DeleteI have nothing against her but dislike her attitude of Me and my husband is in love while there is another woman that made the money with the man is being neglected . Karma is coming for her anorexic flat ass soon
DeleteVery true once the older kids finished alevels it was back to Nigeria, i think the first wife kids suffered this fate, now all hustling hustling since they became Christians and cut off from Diabolical Daddy and wife
DeleteAnon with the karma BS. Y’all beeeb shouting karma karma for the past 20yrs yet the marriage is still strong. Produced 4 grown up kids. You will shout karma till you die. Was shade the one that married herself. Is chief not a Muslim entitled to 4wives. Keep your karma to your bloody sef. You are not God. Some of You Yorubas are so vile with your comments on this blog. So disgusting
DeleteAnon 12.55PM. Really? Have you heard about Iroko story? Sorry ignorant you, Karma might take 100 years but it comes for your ass eventually. She need to chill and stop acting like she is married to a man that doesn’t have another wife. Do you pray for your husband to marry a younger woman after being with him for years and the young fool acting like you don’t exist?!!! Life is in circle and if you don’t get it, your children or grand children will get it
DeleteGod Bless you ooo @anon3.32pm. Trust me the idiot up there would not be able to handle it ooo if she was treated like the first wife . Awon protégée Shade. I find her so disgusting.
DeleteHnmmm. God is great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats ooooo! Whom her husband is well pleased with", that sentence got me! Good woman ! But treat your staff well ! Wicked boss !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful children!
ReplyDeleteAs a totally neutral person with no links to the Okoyas or Sade I think the constant bashing of this girl being a gold digger is so unfair. Yes she may have come out of nowhere to marry him but who amongst us doesn’t have a lineage that is from nowhere? She is outlandish in her dressing- that is her style, everyone has one. If she were to be understated or conservative we will still curse her out.
ReplyDeleteThere is a pain a lot of us don’t see rich people go through. Do you know what it means to build an empire and none of your children comes close to being able to take it to the next level for you in your old age? You want a business to outlive you. You worked all your youth and years to build wealth and you have children, send them to the best schools, yet none of them is capable of surviving without your name. The culture of hardwork eludes them. All they want is hand outs and living luxe.
It is a pain that brings anger and regret and so everyone will be affected from the mother who birthed those kids to the children.
Eleganza was becoming a forgotten empire around the time shade came, but look at what she has done particularly with the plastic company. I watched an interview of her once where her day in the factory was recorded. That girl works mehnnnn. Like a typical Yoruba girl and that is where I give you guys hands over my Northern women. Yoruba women are illustrious. Eleganza would have long died if not for that girl. She simply identified that she has much younger children and she needs to raise them as her husband may not be there long and even if strength would have eluded him.
Another thing I don’t understand a lot of women do is, your husband has built an empire and all you do is sit and wait for him to run things. You don’t get involved. You don’t run things with him side by side. That is the case of the senior wife.
Now it seems sade has taken over. Would we say it is not the extension of Sade’s work that this family are enjoying? Of course okoyas days of glory are over forget the facade but then the new eleganza structure run. By Sade is clearly why pays the bills. What role can that man play now?
Some years ago I had the privilege of working with a very prominent industrialist from Asaba though business Centred in Lagos. Baba is a household name. In his late 80’s. Their Okoya level of old money. This man would come to abuja and be running around. Ministries, meetings etc. old man like that with only his PA and security detail. He had kids in their 50’s. One day he opened up to me. He said his kids made him seem like a stingy and wicked man. He told me how he invested in their education but none of them is responsible. They are all lazy. None of them can do half of what he does at his age. They want to work luxuriously they are not interested in getting their hands dirty. You could see the pain in his eyes. Sometimes 1am / 2am this man would be in meetings. The great Asaba man died late last year. Now I’m sure the kids are waiting to eat off his sweat. Im sure his kids have no idea the half of his abuja properties. They are all in the hands of his PA who will give to them what he feels if he feels. Is that life? May we not have children who will disappoint us in old age Abeg. 90% of these big men where are their children in the sphere of life?
Good luck to Sade. I don’t know her nor any of the okoyas. But this is the reality of the rich.
Whattttt? If these are true, then shame on okoya's grown up kids! Why wait for your dad to do everything for you! That's so bad! All these spoilt kids, well good thing sade is working but she should secure herself and her kids cos of tomorrow !
DeleteIs the asaba man , odogwu ?
DeleteAuthor ni e. Kini nonsense yi
DeleteYou have time. See analysis; shade ko, biola nii.
DeleteAye ma le o! Aye ma ni ika o! What they turn you into, is what they will use to abuse you. Most of these men are ‘Awo’ , the same children whose glory they used as foundation for their wealth, they know nothing fantastic can come out of them, they now turn around and complain to the world that their children can’t stand on their own. Ah! Aye le o!
Delete@anon April 25, 6:00 pm, welcome Sade. Bla bla bla. It still doesn’t make it right to snatch another woman’s husband and chase the children away. 🙃
DeleteYou started your comment well asking that Shade not be bashed,you now make unverified assertions claiming that none of the man’s children are capable of growing his business.Do you know if the man even gave them a chance? Everyone knows shade is his favorite so she would always get what she wants.If everybody continually bash a single person then such person ought to check themselves because everybody can’t hate a single person.Toke Makinwa even bobrisky have legions if fans even if people bash them.Someone above said shade is a wicked boss.Point of my preamble is don’t unfairly label and pass judgement over issues you have no idea about.I don’t know the Okoya family dynamics but I also have a father who is in his 80s but have refused to let any of his children handle a single one of his businesses.Even when all his children are educated abroad,have years of experience in corporate world,business have not been found wanting morally.To the extent that he paid an architect millions to do a job when one of his own children is a qualified architect .
DeleteWhat is this one yarning? Abeg shift jare. If you don’t know the real koko of the gist, abeg keep quiet
Delete@anon 5:19 you are daft.Oponu ayirada
Deletelovely kids

Anon 6.00 pm Welcome PR Professor
ReplyDeleteTrue about the children being lazy and entitled, but that's not the case with the Okoyas. Okoya and his wife started the business together from way back. His children used to work in the business as well.
ReplyDeletelovely kids
ReplyDeleteDid the 1st wife tell you that she refused to run the company ?
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! Love the aso one. Who knows anyone that can do it cheaper? This looks very expensive oh. I want to get it for my mum for her 60th birthday.
ReplyDeleteAnon 6.00 pm You don’t know Sade and you write such a long epistle? Are you sure you are not working for her? Anyway the truth of the matter is that “where is the almighty Safe sensitive chips? I’m sure she has none. For goodness sake, this man has another human being that he has been married to forever before he made his money and here we have the gold digger phony Sade acting like the woman doesn’t exist!!! How would she feels if another woman takes over her home the same way she takes over her home and have the man focus on her and her children? She is nothing but a calculating fetish one that makes such her old man lose her sense of reasoning. I’m sure she wouldn’t be happy that another woman does that to any of her daughters. No respect whatsoever to the woman and her children
ReplyDeleteAll of you should shut up! You are talking like Okoya did not have a legion of wives before Sade. Sade is not the one that separated that woman from her husband. And you all can judge until you are blue in the face, she has 20 years under her belt, 4 beautiful children and that’s a lot more than many of you fleabags can ever hope to achieve.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this comment.
Deletebookmarked!!, I love your site!
ReplyDeleteThe truth is, long before Sade came on the scene, Chief had always married new wives and who ever was the latest or newest was always the favorite wife. Kudos must be given to Sade for having found the formula to have kept Alhaji's attention on her all of these 20 years. Like someone rightly said, did Sade marry herself? Did she force herself on her husband? What if part of the winning formula is her fawning over him and keeping him alone and above all else? People calling on and claiming Karma, which useless Karma in this case? The man is entitled to marry 4 according to his religion and he must make sure to satisfy all of them equally. While mama is already in her 60s and retired from the rigors of bedmatics, Alhaji is still full of action and still needs constant attention and pampering that Sade is offering and giving in over abundance. Can you blame her for doing her duty very well? Even karma, operated by nature does things with fairness! Alhaji knows his family more than anybody else, especially you outsiders trying to pokenose into what doesn't concern you all. Truth be told, Sade has even tried, 20 years against all the abuses, wiles and trickery of those who have prayed all these while for her to fail. But she's getting stronger and better by the day and that is the answer to all you people's bullshit about Karma! Enough said!
ReplyDeleteYou know what? Shut the hell up. Shut up. I know your calling in life is to be a trophy wife like your H factor Shade. You know absolutely nothing a about this family!!’ Where is Ajoke today, Alhajis favorite at one time. Look the first wife is just a meek person. Who has decided to face her children and the many troubles. Shade would definitely face her own karma trust me. That’s if it hasn’t started sef. The clothes we wear hide a lot of things.She’s an extremely wicked girl. I am not the first wife but I felt extremely bad for her and her children. The humiliation is just too much. Alhaji is not handling this whole thing well at all. I’ve never seen this kind of nonsense from any big man in Nigeria before. Let Shade wait. Let the man die...,,she would really receive it. Yes he might have changed his will and all to favor her but wait..,,,,, nonsense.
DeleteAnd please Eleganza success has absolutely nothing to do with miss twiggy. If someone did not build a solid foundation, Miss twiggy would not see where to perch. God purnish Shade and her likes.
Why are you so pained? Shade didn’t marry herself. She wasn’t the first,second or even the third wife!. Oh if the wives before her wete that good, why did chief marry more wives? Why didn’t Chief another wife after Shade? Please learn from her. She got 20yrs, 4 lovely kids under her belt. Go suck a dick if you are that pained. I am not even Nigerian but heck the curses on this woman is so vile. Y’all be shouting karma for the past 20yrs, she really must be doing something great. No one talks about a NOBODY!!!
Delete@anon 5:13 so you don't know Ajoke cheated on chief and was cut off
DeleteSaw Biola the other day, she was almost unrecognisable. With low cut blond hair and so many wrinkles, hmmmn.
ReplyDeleteBiola that used to be sweet and frosh.
Must be the Shade-effect, lol
DeleteE Ku ise o!Sade's appointed PR Agents.
ReplyDeleteAt Anon 5.13 Well said Sade has nothing to do with Eleganza Company. She is just a decorated MD. Is all hype and cannot believe how she has turned the man senses inside out. Karma is definitely coming for her
ReplyDelete@Anon 6.53pm You are very ignorant and also stupid. BTW, I’m not the other Anonymous. Is not that Shade is perfect or extraordinary reason why Okoya didn’t marry another wife. Is because of his AGE when he married her. He was too old after marrying her to be running after women again. The timing makes it look like she has a magic that curb the man. Will see what we make of her if and when the man died. Having a photo shoot with her ancestor
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and I've once mentioned it. He'll have looked like a bigger fool running after a younger version of Shade.
DeleteBaba had to eventually wind things down.
Your written English is kinda headache-inducing sha.
What is "is not that shade is perfect"?
Someone said Biola Okoya looks old with wrinkles! News flash everyone will age. She has also used herself quite harshly so it's expected .all her mates have wrinkles .about the kids going to school, the educated Okoya wives made sure their kids got an education. Unfortunately the first wife being uneducated herself thought the formula of making the kids directors in the empire would be sufficient. It wasn't. Some defied their father which is a huge no-no and the man cut them off. Sade had absolutely nothing to do with it. They're all grown ups who should be able to fend for themselves if their father cuts them off. Is it sade that made them waste their years doing drugs and partying and not save for the rainy day? It's a shame that grown men with families will be crying bout Daddy cut me off. Such a disgrace
ReplyDeleteYou’re an idiot @anon 4.22pm. We know she has pr agents now. Anybody that comes to destroy another person s home would face the consequences. Chief insisted those children come home to work. I know they are not lazy because they tried their best to rest their heads out. Do you know what it is to have a controlling father? Abeg. As for that shade, let her continue oooo. We are waiting. Married women are very angry right now. And to those who don’t see anything wrong with what she’s doing, may a Shade be your portion in your marriage!!!!!
