Africa richest woman, Dr. (Mrs.) Folorunsho Alakija made some shocking revelations about her life recently. The founder of Supreme Stitches and Executive Director of FAMFA Oil revealed her best kept secrets at the house of the Lord. Hear her:

“My husband’s mother was Igbo, while his dad was from South-West and because of this, my mother in-law never wanted a Yoruba woman to marry her son. She was not comfortable also with my Muslim background then. She wanted an Igbo daughter in-law, but my husband said it’s me or nothing.

It was a tough battle until God finally prevailed. Whenever she wanted something from my husband and was not getting it immediately, she would start attacking me, saying I’m the one stopping her son from doing her biddings.

It was also an issue when she asked for a baby girl from me and I could not give her. I have four boys in my marriage… At some point, I was encouraged to fight back by my husband, but I refused and kept praying to God to change her.

Despite my mother in-law’s opposition towards me, I made sure we took her to US and UK on holidays with us severally and kept showering her with unconditional love. My joy is that we settled before she passed on”.

“My husband is my best friend, biggest adviser and supporter. We’ve known each other for 43 years and have been married for 40 years now with four boys. Even though we work in the same office, I always ensure that we kiss twice in a day, morning and night. I still wash his undies until nine years ago that he insisted I should stop. I also prepare his special vegetable dish, does his manicure and pedicure regularly. I also go to the airport to pick him whenever he is returning from foreign trips. It gives me joy whenever his friends praise my vegetable dish based on what my husband tells them during discussions…”
