Real Reasons Folorusho Alakija Shunned Brother's Marriage To Second Wife

The younger brother of Africa’s wealthiest woman, Folorunso Alakija, Hakeem, on Sunday April 6, 2014, made a move that has been eliciting side talks from people within the society.

He took a second wife, amidst a modest Nikkai-cum-introduction ceremony, which was attended by his family members and close friends.

His second wife is Folakemi Aladeniyi, a pretty lady, whom he has been dating since the last couple of years.

A successful businessman, Hakeem Ogbara is the Managing Director of Hakog Integrated Services, a business consultancy firm.

It was reliably gathered that the ceremony took place at the bride’s family home in Maryland, Lagos. The Aladeniyis received the Ogbara family members, led by their patriarch, Chief Rasak Ogbara, and treated them to a very lavish reception.

However, conspicuously absent at the ceremony was Hakeem’s elder sister, Folorunso Alakija.

It was surprising to many people that Alakija, who is well known to love her siblings, was not part of the event.

Sources stated that the billionaire oil baroness deliberately travelled out of the country to avoid bring part of the wedding jamboree.

Our informants said that Alakija is not in support of her younger brother’s decision to take a second wife, since he is known to enjoy a good marriage with his first wife, Adenike Idayat (Iya Fali).

It was gathered that Hakeem almost put his family members in a precarious situation, when they discovered that he did not inform Adenike of his decision to take a second wife.

He was reported to have informed her after the ceremony had taken place. Adenike, who, had always been the apple of her husband’s eyes, was reported to have created a scene on learning about the development.

She was said to have blasted her hubby and threatened to leave the marriage.

The new woman, Folakemi, who happens to be a mother of one, and who now bears a Muslim name, Hakeemat, is said to be on top of the world currently, and she is reported to be telling whoever cares to listen that better days have come for her at last.
