The home of Alhaji Rasaki Akanni Okoya, CON of the renowned Eleganza conglomerate, is glowing with double joy this weekend as his life wife, Dr. Mrs. Folashade Okoya, MON, celebrates her 49th birthday in what can best be characterized as a moment of celebration defined by grace and gratitude.

For the family, it is a symbolic alignment of milestones that represents both enduring love and the promise of a new chapter. The elegant woman who sits above Eleganza Industrial City Limited as its Managing Director is ecstatic beyond measure.

This Saturday, April 25, 2026, which also happens to be her mother’s birthday, will mark the beginning of the proceedings surrounding the marriage journey of the stunning, modest, soft-spoken, and deeply religious young woman. Family and close friends are invited to the engagement.

Olamide is the oldest of Alhaji Razaq and Shade Okoya’s four children, and many social observers believe that Shade Okoya, the sophisticated mother of four and social matriarch who is renowned for consistently showing up for family and friends, is getting her retribution.

The long relationship between Razaq Okoya and his wife, whose union has endured over time, is at the center of it all. Many people admire their marriage, which has lasted for almost thirty years, since it is based on respect for one another, similar ideals, and constant support.

Many in their community refer to it with affection as “a marriage made in heaven,” which seems even more appropriate now that they are prepared to give their cherished daughter away in marriage.

Attention naturally shifted to the happy news of their daughter’s engagement as family members gathered to celebrate the elegant matriarch’s birthday. This development has been met with enormous happiness, not only among the immediate family but among their extended network of friends and well-wishers.

Chief Okoya, who is always precise in his speech, is said to be beaming broadly as he thanks Allah Ta’ala for all of his family’s blessings. He claims that seeing such an important turning point in his daughter Olamide’s life is the best birthday present.

He complimented his 27-year wife in his remark. “My sweet wife, happy birthday. I hope you live a long, healthy, and happy life. The engagement of our cherished daughter is the best present possible on this momentous day. We hope and pray that their union is filled with prosperity, love, and peace. May Allah bless them with a happy and long-lasting union. Chief Okoya exclaimed, “God bless us all.”

Society should hold its breath for the time being. The groom’s name and identity are still unknown, but the event is scheduled for Saturday, April 25.

The double celebration, according to observers, highlights the ideals that the Okoya family has come to embody—strong family ties, faith, and a dedication to raising the next generation.

The engagement signifies the transmission of the legacy of love over all obstacles, whereas the birthday represents a personal milestone. One thing is evident as the Okoyas continue to get congratulations. This is a celebration of life, family, and abiding blessings rather than only events.
