Prominent Nigerian socialite and wife of billionaire industrialist Razak Okoya, Shade Okoya, has addressed long-standing public curiosity about her marriage to a significantly older man.
The businesswoman, who married into wealth and prestige at just 21, now 48, remains unshaken by the age gap between her and her husband, who is currently 85.
Shade, who tied the knot with Razak Okoya back in 1999, has revealed that her decision to settle down with a much older man has brought her nothing but joy.
Despite questions and criticisms over the years, she maintains that she has not missed out on any phase of life by choosing a partner decades her senior.
The billionaire’s wife recently spoke about her marriage in an interview with BBC Yoruba, touching on her journey, the unwavering support she’s received from her husband, and her sense of contentment.
Rather than feeling restricted or disadvantaged, she described her experience as deeply fulfilling and aligned with what she believes was her destined path.
Critics have often speculated about the dynamics of her union with the business magnate, but Shade insists her life has been rich in happiness and purpose.
Her account offers a powerful counter-narrative to societal assumptions about age in relationships, especially among Nigeria’s elite.
Now regarded as one of Nigeria’s most stylish and respected society women, Shade continues to live in the limelight with her husband, standing as a symbol of resilience, choice, and personal conviction in matters of love and marriage.
