‘I didn’t miss out on anything despite marrying a man 40 years older – Billionaire Shade Okoya brags

Nigerian industrialist, Shade Okoya has revealed she didn't miss any aspect of life despite marrying an older man.

Recall that the 48-year-old billionaire got married to Razak Okoya, an 85-year-old billionaire, in 1999 when she was 21.

However, reacting to criticisms of her marriage in a recent interview with the BBC Yoruba, Shade Okoya boasted that she has never missed out on anything for not marrying a younger man.

Speaking about her experience in the marriage, she affirmed that she is very happy in her marriage.

She said, “My husband has been very generous with me, and defends me anywhere. God said this is where I will be. We met each other, and he liked me and he did not waste time at all.

“I’m happy in my marriage to him. He is far older than me but I don’t think I ever missed out on anything because I didn’t marry a younger man.”
