Billionaire businessman, Razak Okoya’s son, Taofeek Okoya, founder of FICO Solutions Limited, in a recent interview with The Sun made some mind-blowing revelations…

“My mum is Kubura Olayinka Okoya, she’s about 74 years old now.  She is a woman that has great depth of understanding and patience. For you, as the first wife to allow your husband to marry additional wives, shows a level of understanding. My mum is understanding, she’s like the matriarch of my family, she’s the mother hen; she takes all of us under her wing, not just us, even all my daddy’s children are her children.”

“I remember when I was young, sometimes some of the house helps were getting funny and getting out of place and I tried to put them in their right place.”

“When my mum got to hear about this, she scolded me, saying, ‘that is someone else’s child, you are my child and I need to discipline you. You are my child and I will discipline you not her,’ she would tell me. It was a great lesson. I understood that you need to understand and tolerate people. I respect people regardless of where they are from or who they are.”

“I wish I didn’t really listen to some of my mum’s advice. She would always advise me to be patient. Sometimes I could be a bit of a troublesome person. I would want to tell some people off when they stepped on my toes. My mum would scream, urging me to be patient, to relax, and forgive them.”

“I would say, ‘wait mummy, there’s a long queue in this your advice.  I’m not sure when God will get to this side…let me deal with this one myself but she would insist that I should relax and allow God to vindicate me’.”

“My father has almost 30 children. My mum is the first wife and we are four. I like the fact that my mum is humane, very considerate and very caring. She doesn’t have any bad bone in her. She’s just too nice.”
