Proceedings regarding the marital journey of the beautiful, humble, soft-spoken and super religious young woman will kick off this Saturday April 25th, 2026, which coincidentally falls on her mother's birthday with an engagement to which family members and very close friends are invited.
Olamide is the eldest of the four children born to Alhaji Razaq and Shade Okoya and many society observers are of the view that it is payback time for Shade Okoya, the elegant mother of four and society matriarch who is known to always show up for family and friends.
At the heart of it all is the enduring bond between Razaq Okoya and his wife, whose union has stood the test of time. Now spanning nearly three decades, their marriage is often admired by many as one built on mutual respect, shared values, and unwavering support.
Many within their circle fondly refer to it as “a marriage made in heaven,” a phrase that seems even more fitting at a time like this as they are ready to gift their beloved daughter out in marriage.
