Nigerian billionaire Chief Rasaq Okoya’s wife, Shade Okoya, has shared details of how she first got to know her husband.
In a recent interview, she celebrated her and her husband’s 25 years of marriage.
The 47-year-old mother of four revealed to Channels Television that their initial meeting occurred through their jobs, but he was eager to see her again.
She said:
“When I met my husband, it was not a typical kind of meeting. I met him for a different purpose entirely, it was more work related. Looking back now, I know that my husband had his own mission and purpose then. We met casually, he saw me and he was just all about ‘I will like to see you again’ and I saw him the next time and it was just straight to the point then. He said ‘I would like to marry you’ which to me was too soon and too sudden because I wasn’t expecting anything like that. It was later on I got to know that he actually wanted a wife immediately.”
“I didn’t tell any of my family members, my husband actually made that move himself. When he met me the first time, I knew he liked me but I wasn’t too sure. When I saw him the second time and he dropped the question that he wanted to marry me, he doesn’t want to waste my time, he’s not into all those long kind of thing.
You can understand from his own point of view that he has to be plain and honest, he doesn’t want to play around. I didn’t even know what to say, I didn’t even reply him but right there, I knew I wasn’t going to see him again.
During that same visit, he was with his friends, they usually hang out together and one of them just took an interest and said he knows me very well, and along the line, he realised he knew my mum and my grandmother so later, I got to know that the man in question was an uncle”, she said.
The businesswoman stated that after the meeting, her uncle went to her grandma to talk about Rasaq Okoya’s intentions. She also shared that her mother encouraged her to consider the billionaire’s offer, saying he liked her and would provide for her.
Happy wedding anniversary! May your love continue to wax strong in Jesus name.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
