“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.”

In the interview, Shade Okoya talked about how her family felt about Chief Rasaq Okoya’s proposal. She recalled that on their second meeting, her husband was with a friend who claimed to know her very well. When she probed further, she learned that he was acquainted with her mother and grandmother and was, in fact, one of her uncles.

“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.


In her words:

“Two days later, I saw the man in my grandmother’s house and you know my grandmother raised me. My mum was a busy working class woman then so my grandmother was always the one with us, taking care of us, just like what my mum did for my own children. So when the guy came and told my grandma that someone, mentioning his name, sent me to you o, he’s interested in your granddaughter. My grandmother was very happy. She was so happy and said God has finally answered her prayer. Seeing her and seeing my mum, I just felt like that was my path. The next thing I knew, Chairman had already invited my mum even without me being there. He invited her, they had a long talk and everything and my mum just said I should please consider him, he’s a man that will take care of me, he liked me, he wanted me. So for him to take that kind of special liking to me, I feel very privileged now, looking back because I think God just used him in my life, because I don’t see why, when he had so many other options. He went all out like a typical Nigerian man, he did it the traditional way of coming to ask for my hand.”
