Who would forget Lolade Alakija nee Cardoso’s out-of-this-world wedding which took place last year? The three-part ceremonies, which took place in Lagos, London, and then Lagos again, saw her get married to Rotimi Alakija, son of Forbes listed Africa’s richest woman, Folorunsho Alakija.
Lolade, who is a granddaughter of the late Chief TOS Benson, was also a guest at one of the galas marking the nation’s centenary celebrations (the event was sponsored by her mother-in-law).
In company with her husband, the couple had eyes only for each other. Lolade, who has evidently put on some weight,made people wonder if she has embarked on a nine-month course.
