Nigeria’s billionaire businesswoman, Folorunsho Alakija, appeared to react to recent controversy regarding her marriage.
According to unconfirmed reports, Folorunsho and her husband, Modupe, are now separated.
The Alakijas own Famfa Oil, an indigenous oil exploration and production company.
On Monday morning, seemingly in response to the saga, Alakija shared a cryptic prayer on her social media.
“Your heart will not be broken by evil-doers. Negativity will not break your heart. The enemies will not break your heart. Nothing shall threaten your peace. You will have peace in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Your peace will be all around and intact,” she said through her official X page.

Citing sources close to the family, Sunday Telegraph reported that the couple who had been married for 30 years, had encountered significant challenges leading to their separation.
It was further gathered that the couple no longer reside together in their lavish matrimonial home in Ikoyi, Lagos, despite being parents to four children.
The couple has reportedly been experiencing frequent conflicts, prompting Mrs Alakija to request privacy within her residence.
This decision compelled her husband to seek alternative accommodation nearby.
However, a close source claims that despite their public appearance, the couple’s relationship has been strained for several years, and they have maintained a united front primarily due to their high profile status.
